From Jessica Jones’ MCU return and Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 hype, to Marvel teasers casually pulling over a billion views, this episode spirals into multiversal speculation fast. The Russos may be playing 4D chess with Endgame timestamps, Mister Miracle officially joins the DCU, and James Gunn politely tells Batman fans to wait their damn turn. Then Lucasfilm drops the big one: Darth Vader, Luke, Leia, and Han are invading Disneyland, breaking Galaxy’s Edge out of sequel-only jail.

    Hot Topic Avengers | Chapter 258

    🧠 Episode Summary This live-recorded chapter of Distance NERDing goes full multiverse chaos as the crew breaks down Marvel, DC, and everything in between with tacos in their bellies and zero chill in their hearts. We debate Joe Keery’s possible MCU future, pour one out for Blade (again), and officially coin the term “Hot Topic Avengers” for the goth side of the superhero universe. Doctor Doom is apparently running a multiversal daycare, Wakanda’s future looks spicy, and Sebastian Stan might be collecting comic book characters like Infinity Stones. Add in surprise Disney casting, DC rumors, Netflix renewals, and enough jokes to make the algorithm blush, and you’ve got one of our nerdiest chapters yet.

    2026 Preview: That was on my list | Chapter 257

    Episode Summary The Nerds are back and ringing in 2026 the only way they know how: loud, opinionated, slightly caffeinated, and deeply nerdy. In Chapter 257, the crew dives headfirst into Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday trailers, gets dangerously excited about comic-accurate X-Men, debates Netflix potentially speedrunning theatrical releases, and speculates wildly about The Batman Part II casting chaos. Along the way, we invent cocktail lore (Talk Nerdy To Me 🍸), mourn Susie Poo, mock conspiracy theories harder than Mephisto fans in 2021, and officially plant our hype flags for everything coming in 2026.

It exists to be destroyed.” • “This is Mephisto all over again.” • “Game of Thrones is a family show. A very messed-up family.” • “We are Barbenheiming Doomsday and Dune.” ⸻ 🔔 Call to Action Love the chaos?

    12/31/2025

    Unoriginal Content | Chapter 256

    🧠 Episode Summary This week, the Distance NERDing crew proudly gets accused of “unoriginal content”… and then absolutely owns it. Chapter 256 is a full-on 2025 pop culture recap, covering the best TV shows, best movies, and standout performances of the year, while actively dodging TikTok bans, appealing algorithm nonsense, and arguing passionately about Daredevil, Andor, Superman, Murderbot, Thunderbolts, and why Galactus is inevitable. Highlights include: • TikTok declaring war on the word “lamp” • A deeply scientific taco-based rating system • Daredevil being unanimously crowned “Red Batman (Affectionate)” • Murderbot supremacy • A shockingly emotional defense of Fantastic Four: First Steps • The realization that “unoriginal content” might actually be the most original bit of all If you love nerd debates, chaotic energy, and year-end lists that spiral gloriously out of control… this one’s for you. ⸻ ⏱️ Timestamps & Topics 00:00 – Live show warning + instant TikTok trouble 01:22 – What even is original content anymore? 05:24 – Top 5 TV Shows of 2025 begins 07:24 – Gen V, Andor, The Studio, Daredevil: Born Again 27:06 – Murderbot takes the crown 33:47 – Honorable TV mentions (yes, a LOT of them) 36:25 – Top 5 Movies of 2025 37:13 – Fantastic Four: First Steps 41:17 – Superman discourse (brace yourselves) 45:08 – Thunderbolts surprises everyone 49:08 – K-Pop Demon Hunters sneaks into the rankings 52:11 – Weapons and horror redemption arcs End – Chaos, convictions, and content appeals ⸻ 🔑 Key Takeaways • “Unoriginal content” is sometimes just passionate nerding with receipts • Andor continues to prove Star Wars can grow up • Daredevil works best when it’s violent, messy, and emotional • Murderbot is the sleeper hit nobody was ready for • Fantastic Four finally feels like a family • TikTok moderation remains the true villain of 2025 ⸻ 💬 Quotes from the Episode • “TikTok says this isn’t original content… appeal immediately.” • “Daredevil is Red Batman but emotionally available.” • “Galactus isn’t a villain. He’s a fact.” • “He didn’t get beat by a nobody. He got beat by himself.” • “I only watched five shows, so statistically all of them made my list.” ⸻ 📣 Call to Action Love the chaos?

    Ripley The Cat Prints Blue Money! | Chapter 255

    🧠 Episode Summary This week, Yung Phil and Jahmez 5000 ride a blue wave of nerd news straight into chaos. We break down Avatar: Fire & Ash absolutely printing blue money, debate whether James Cameron has secretly unlocked an infinite Na’vi ATM, and officially crown Sigourney Weaver as Ripley of the Cat People. On the superhero front, Marvel teases Avengers: Doomsday and the internet immediately overanalyzes a green poster like it’s the Zapruder film. DC fans eat well with Brainiac casting news, Seth Rogen popping up in Supergirl, and James Gunn staying firmly planted at the helm. Add in Peanuts being bought by Sony, live-action One Piece Chopper hype, Avatar Studios chaos, and YouTube stealing the Oscars, and you’ve got an episode that moves faster than a banshee on Red Bull. Nerdy. Funny. Slightly unhinged. Exactly how we like it. ⸻ ⏱️ Timestamps & Topics 00:00 – Live show warning & chaotic intro 02:45 – What’s on deck this week 04:30 – Marvel News: Avengers: Doomsday teaser + poster discourse 12:30 – Can pre-MCU heroes save the MCU? 16:00 – DC Watchtower: Supergirl, Seth Rogen, Brainiac casting 21:30 – James Gunn & DCU survive the Netflix era 26:00 – ⚡ Dubby Energy break 27:30 – Headlines: Avatar prints blue money 31:00 – Sigourney Weaver becomes the new Avatar narrator 34:30 – Avatar: The Last Airbender skips theaters?! 44:00 – One Piece live-action Chopper revealed 47:00 – Sony buys Peanuts (good grief) 52:00 – Warner Bros vs Netflix vs Paramount drama 57:30 – YouTube wins the Oscars ⸻ 🔑 Key Takeaways • James Cameron could fund a small country with Avatar sequels • Avengers: Doomsday marketing has officially begun its mind games • DC continues stacking wins with smart casting and stability • Paramount skipping theaters for Avatar might be wild behavior • Sony owning Peanuts feels oddly inevitable • The future of Hollywood is streaming… and YouTube apparently runs awards now ⸻ 💬 Quotes of the Episode • “James Cameron prints money… and it’s blue.” • “Ripley of the Cat People.” • “The only way Avatar stops is if it stops making money… good luck with that.” • “People are overanalyzing a poster like it owes them money.” ⸻ 📣 Call to Action Love the chaos? 👉 Subscribe, rate, and review the show 👉 Share this episode using #DistanceNERDing 👉 Tell us what you’re nerding out on this week ⸻ 🔗 Links & Resources 🎧 Listen: Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTube 🌐 Visit: DistanceNERDing.com ⚡ Dubby Energy – Use code NERDING10 for 10% off 💥 Proud partner of the Geek Freaks Network – GFpods.com ⸻ 📲 Follow Us YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, Threads, TikTok, Twitter/X, Bluesky 👉 @DistanceNERDing everywhere nerds gather ⸻ ❓ Listener Questions Got a hot take, theory, or topic we should cover?
