After the disastrous X-Men Origins: Wolverine the idea of a Deadpool film languished in development hell for years and now because of the dedication of Ryan Reynolds, Fox has released the rated R film that so many fans wanted.

In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by Daniel Proulx to talk about Deadpool. We discuss a different kind of “superhero”, being in a connected universe, is this really new, the cast, no fourth wall, things that work, things that didn’t and our ratings.
