That’s right, it’s time for an all-new episode of The Flickcast. And yes, we realize it’s a bit late. We’re trying to get better. Honest.

Meantime, on this week’s show Chris and Joe talk about all sorts of stuff including the DC Universe, Captain America: Civil War, outsourcing the new Star Trek series, Game of Thrones least best kept secret, the new Jack Ryan movie and more. Plus, there’s even more.

Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the movie Deadpool, now available in your own home, and Joe’s pick of the new trailer for X-Men: Apocalypse. Yes, he picked a trailer. So?

It’s Friday again (well, Saturday if you’re being technical) and time for a new episode of The Flickcast. Sadly, this isn’t an episode devoted entirely to the new Star Wars movie. That will have to wait until next week.

It is, however, a damn fine episode. Here’s what you can expect from it: Star Trek: Beyond!, X-Men: Apocalypse!, Independence Day: Resurgence!, Mr. Robot Season Two! And a whole lot more! Don’t worry, we’ll stop using exclamation points now . . .until next time.

Picks this week include Chris’ pick of the Showtime Documentary The Spymasters: CIA in the Crosshairs and Joe’s pick of the Syfy Channel mini-series Childhood’s End, based on the classic novel by Arthur C. Clarke. But if you don’t want spoilers, might want to wait to click on that link after you’ve watched.

To celebrate the home entertainment release of the X-Men: Days of Future Past Rogue Cut Blu-ray on July 14th, fans at San Diego Comic-Con were treated to a special advance screening of the extended version of the film. Shown on four screens simultaneously at the Reading Cinema in downtown San Diego on Saturday, July 11, the Rogue Cut features an extra 17 minutes of footage including bringing Anna Paquin’s Rogue into the film’s main plot.

The additional scenes add some more humor and action to the film. It’s important to note that although the Rogue storyline accounts for probably 50% of the extra footage, the other 50% is equally as golden. Highlights of the later portions include some very funny bantering between Quicksilver and Magneto and a romantic scene between Beast and Mystique. Several fans at the SDCC screening pointed out they had already seen these portions online as deleted scenes.

As for the Rogue bits, they fit and strangely enough they seem essential to the plot. Sadly, since we’ve all seen how the film carries on without, they end up feeling more superfluous than they were intended to be. That said, that Bryan Singer was able to take Rogue out and still make Days of Future Past work and work well is commendable. It couldn’t have been easy to re-work scenes, dialogue, and climatic moments all to remove one character.

And, we’re back. We took a week off last week for various reasons, but now we’ve got a brand new episode of The Flickcast for you. As usual, there’s no need to thank us.

On this week’s show Chris and Joe take on some new topics and revisit old ones. Some of these topics include X-Men: Days of Future Past, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, the true Star Wars day, Starlog magazine, Gareth Edwards and the new Star Wars, Godzilla, shakeups in the Marvel world including Edgar Wright leaving Ant Man and Drew Goddard leaving the Daredevil TV series,  the merits of time travel, the history of the Rancor and a whole lot more.

It’s a pretty good episode, all things considered. Plus, all the more is pretty amazing.

The guys also made picks this week. Chris’ pick is the novel The Hydra Protocol by David Wellington and Joe’s pick is the new Samsung Galaxy Tab 4.
