(This episode was recorded November 24, 2025)

This week’s episode is packed with big opinions, blockbuster news, and pop culture debate! The hosts kick things off by tackling Disney’s plans for a live-action Sleeping Beauty with a major twist—relocating the classic fairy tale from France to Mexico. Is this a fresh creative take or a change for change’s sake? Robert and Ron weigh in.

Next, they boldly go into Star Trek territory, breaking down a Hollywood Reporter scoop about a new Trek film in development from John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein. Set in the Star Trek universe but not focused on the USS Enterprise, the announcement sparks a lively discussion about what this means for the franchise—and for longtime fans. The debate continues as the hosts rank their favorite and least favorite Star Trek captains.

The episode then jumps to comic book history as a legendary 1939 Superman #1 shatters records, selling for an eye-popping $9.12 million. Ron explains why this sale is a massive moment for collectors and pop culture fans alike.

From there, it’s Gotham City, as newly revealed logos from James Gunn’s upcoming DC films spark talk about Batman’s inevitable return. The hosts reflect on the many actors who’ve worn the cape and cowl and share their takes on the best—and worst—big screen Batmen.

The conversation continues with a look at the upcoming Supergirl movie and why a character who’s never truly led the DC charge is now headlining the next major James Gunn project.

Closing out the show is a blast from the past: Gremlins 3 is officially moving forward with Steven Spielberg on board as executive producer—37 years after the original hit theaters. Will ’80s nostalgia be enough to bring audiences back? The guys break it down.
