🧠 Episode Summary
This week, the crew dives headfirst into nerd chaos like it’s a loot dungeon with no exit. We break down major Marvel updates, debate who Anne Hathaway could play in the MCU (Emma Frost? Mystique? chaos incarnate?), and spiral into multiverse madness with Spider-Man theories that may or may not end in emotional damage.
We also talk X-Men ‘97 Season 2, zombie superheroes snacking like it’s a buffet, and a Mario movie that critics side-eye while fans throw gold coins at the screen. Oh, and yes… a judgmental cat exists and we have thoughts.
Expect hot takes, wild theories, and at least one moment where parenting skills are publicly questioned. 🍝
