    The Furious Without the Fast, But Lots of Kicks

    No Cars, All Kicks This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl are back with spies, shadows, and a whole lot of martial arts chaos. They dig into Citadel Season 2 Episodes 5-7, check in on Spider-Noir Episodes 5-6, and throw down with the 2026 action film The Furious, starring Joe Taslim and Xie Miao. From high-stakes spy nonsense to black-and-white superhero noir to bone-crunching action, this episode has a little bit of everything. Citadel keeps pushing its global conspiracy machine forward, Spider-Noir continues blending superhero mythology with hardboiled detective vibes, and The Furious delivers exactly what the title promises: furious people kicking the absolute hell out of each other. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Citadel (Season 2, Episodes 5-7): 6:51 Spider-Noir (Episodes 5-6): 28:47 The Furious: 46:51 Citadel (Prime Video) Season 2, Episode 5 Title: Heirlooms Air date: May 6, 2026 Runtime: 49 minutes Director: David Weil / Joseph Russo Writer: David Weil and Kennedy Edmonds Summary: Mason and Dahlia put a dangerous prisoner exchange in motion as they try to negotiate Abby’s release, but Mason’s unraveling mental state threatens to blow up the whole plan. As both sides race to complete the trade, Abby reveals something that changes the stakes for everyone and pushes the season deeper into betrayal, family damage, and spy-world manipulation. Season 2, Episode 6 Title: Highlands Air date: May 6, 2026 Runtime: 36 minutes Director: Greg Yaitanes / Joseph Russo Writer: David J. Rosen and David Weil Summary: As Joana moves closer to assassinating the Russian president at the G8 Summit and taking control of a Russian satellite network, Mason and Nadia bring Abby to a safehouse in Scotland. What should be a moment to regroup becomes another emotional and tactical disaster when the team uncovers the horrifying truth about what was done to Abby, setting off a devastating chain of events. Season 2, Episode 7 Title: Chin Chin Air date: May 6, 2026 Runtime: 44 minutes Director: Greg Yaitanes / Joseph Russo Writer: David J. Rosen and David Weil Summary: The season finale brings the Citadel team to the G8 Summit, where Joana plans to assassinate President Aronov and seize control of Russian satellites. The team is forced into a dangerous infiltration mission full of impossible choices, collapsing loyalties, and the kind of last-minute spy chaos that turns a diplomatic summit into a battlefield. Rating Out of 10, The Unexpected is Always Unexpected Brian: 8.55/10 Daryl: 7.77/10 Season 2 Rating Out of 10, Hutch is THE MAN Brian: 8.3/10 Darryl: 7.5/10 Citadel Series Out of 10, Kane… Mason Kane Brian: 8/10 Darryl: 7.25/10 Spider-Noir (Prime Video) Season 1, Episode 5 Title: Betrayal Air date: May 27, 2026 Director: Alethea Jones Writer: Jennifer Frazin and Steve Lightfoot Summary: Robbie continues fighting to reclaim his place at the Bugle, using his exclusive stories about super-powered soldiers and the return of The Spider to make his case. The episode digs deeper into deception, identity, and the strange science behind this noir-soaked superhero world, pushing Ben Reilly further into the mystery while the danger around him keeps getting uglier. Season 1, Episode 6 Title: Nightmare on a Gurney Air date: May 27, 2026 Director: Alethea Jones Writer: Jack Henderson, Jennifer Frazin, and Megan Liao Summary: The mystery tightens as Ben Reilly, Robbie, and the rest of the players move closer to the truth behind the city’s super-powered nightmare. With the endgame starting to take shape, the episode leans into medical horror, noir paranoia, and superhero conspiracy, setting up the final stretch of the season with more questions, more danger, and more bodies piling up in the shadows. Rating Out of 10, Come on Webs, Work! Brian: 7.3/10 Darryl: 8.25/10 The Furious (2026) Release Date: June 12, 2026 Runtime: 113 minutes Director: Kenji Tanigaki Writers: Mak Tin Shu, Lei Zhilong, Shum Kwan Sin, and Frank Hui Studios: Edko Films, Zhejiang Hengdian Film, and XYZ Films Distributor: Lionsgate Premiere / Lionsgate Films Rating: R for strong bloody violence and language Summary: When his daughter Rainy is kidnapped, humble tradesman Wang Wei is dragged into a violent criminal underworld where corruption, trafficking, and blood-soaked revenge collide. His only real ally is Navin, a journalist whose own family tragedy connects him to the same criminal network. Together, they fight through waves of gangsters, assassins, and human wrecking balls in a brutal martial arts rescue mission that is light on subtlety and very, very heavy on kicks. Main Cast: Xie Miao as Wang Wei Joe Taslim as Navin Yang Enyou as Rainy Jeeja Yanin as Matia Brian Le as Ho / HD Yayan Ruhian as Tak Joey Iwanaga as Pak Lung Production Notes: The Furious is directed by Kenji Tanigaki, a veteran stunt coordinator and action filmmaker, and the movie’s biggest selling point is exactly what you would expect from that background: relentless, bone-crunching fight choreography. The film premiered internationally before its 2026 U.S. theatrical release, with coverage positioning it as a Hong Kong action throwback built around practical stunt work, violent hand-to-hand combat, and the kind of crowd-pleasing martial arts insanity that has drawn comparisons to The Raid and other modern action benchmarks. The film is commonly listed as a 2025 Hong Kong production because of its festival premiere, but its U.S. theatrical release is June 12, 2026. Lionsgate handled the U.S. release, and Movie Insider lists the film as a nationwide theatrical release with an R rating for strong bloody violence and language.

    I Haaaave the Poooooower!

    Grayskull, Gumshoes, and Global Spy Nonsense This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl have the power… allegedly. The guys dig into Citadel Season 2 episodes 3 and 4, continue down the black-and-white rabbit hole with Spider-Noir episodes 3 and 4, and then head back to Eternia for the 2026 live-action Masters of the Universe movie.

Rosen Original Air Date: May 6, 2026 Summary: As Paulo’s plan escalates, Mason and Nadia are forced into an uneasy alliance.

Rosen Original Air Date: May 6, 2026 Summary: After pulling the truth about Edison’s identity, the team shifts focus to a high-profile gala where their target is expected to appear. Mason and Nadia’s tensions keep rising, enemies close in from every angle, and one dishonest move threatens to blow up the entire mission.

Janet discovers Addison, Lincoln, and Marko were former prisoners of war. Ben also finds out Carmedy lied about being Cat’s husband to gather evidence on Morris and that Cat arranged the meeting. He concludes Cat leaked the transfer and hired Addison to burn down Silvermane’s mansion. Ben breaks into Silvermane’s vault to pay Vera to leave town before she exposes Cat. Marko briefly considers escaping with Cat, but abandons the idea due to his symptoms worsening further. Ben later confronts Cat at Penn Station as she tries to flee, but Winston captures them. After tracing marked payments from Silvermane, Ben frames Winston by using his money to pay Vera. Silvermane shoots and kills Winston. Episode 4: “A Mistake I’ll Never Make Again” Director: Nzingha Stewart Writer: Tori Sampson Original Air Date: May 25, 2026 on MGM+ / May 27, 2026 on Prime Video Summary: Cat reveals to Ben she hired Addison to kill Silvermane so she could settle down with Marko after Silvermane murdered her first fiancé. Marko eavesdrops on their discussion. Feeling betrayed, he decides to work for Silvermane again. Robbie and Janet interview Lincoln at the office. Silvermane uses Marko to intimidate Morris into backing off on his campaign ending Prohibition. Ben and Cat spend the night at his place, where he divulges on how Ruby died from a criminal he caught seeking revenge. They both leave after hearing a metahuman is attacking the Diamond District, presuming it to be Marko. The metahuman is a man named Dirk Leyden, a criminal with the ability to absorb and release electricity. The Spider defeats him by shutting off the power in the area to prevent Leyden from storing any more electricity, and Morris uses his victory to boost his campaign. Cat returns to Ben’s apartment and deduces that he is the Spider before kissing him.

    Fatality by Committee

    Finish Him… Frenchie is Cooked! This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl test their might with Mortal Kombat II, check in on the latest round of Homelander-induced misery in The Boys Season 5 Episode 7, suffer through The Punisher: One Last Kill, run the floor with the first four episodes of Running Point Season 2, and close things out with a good old-fashioned Odyssey bitch fest. You know, culture. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 The Odyssey Bitch Fest: 4:47 Running Point Season 2 Episodes 1-4: 10:48 The Punisher: One Last Kill: 20:45 The Boys Season 5 Episode 7: 33:00 Mortal Kombat II: 43:05 The Odyssey Bitch Fest Brian and Darryl close out the week with an Odyssey rant, because apparently ancient Greek epics, modern adaptations, translation discourse, and Hollywood hype cycles were not already exhausting enough. Somewhere, Homer is either proud, confused, or asking why everyone on the internet suddenly thinks they are a classics scholar with a Letterboxd account. Running Point: Season 2, Episodes 1-4 Series: Running Point Season: 2 Episodes covered: Episodes 1-4 Release date: April 23, 2026 Season 2, Episode 1 Title: New Coach Who Dis Air date: April 23, 2026 Director: David Stassen Writers: Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen Summary: Cam is back, which means Isla immediately has to deal with family politics, front office nonsense, and the ongoing question of who actually gets to control the Waves. With the team needing a new coach, Cam pushes his preferred pick while Isla tries to make the smarter basketball decision instead of the loudest nepo-baby decision. Season 2, Episode 2 Title: The Poacher Air date: April 23, 2026 Director: Erica Oyama Writer: Joe Mande Summary: Trade rumors around Dyson heat up, forcing Isla to fight for one of the team’s most important players while Sandy uncovers a financial issue tied to Cam. Ali, tired of being treated like office furniture with a calendar invite, makes a major career move that threatens to shake up both the Waves and Isla’s support system. Season 2, Episode 3 Title: Triangle of Badness Air date: April 23, 2026 Director: David Stassen Writer: David Phillips Summary: Ali’s move to Canada creates a widening rift between her and Isla, because nothing says “healthy friendship” like professional resentment and international workplace drama. Meanwhile, the tension between Dyson and Travis keeps escalating, and Sandy tries to survive Charlie’s new reality TV lifestyle without completely losing his mind. Season 2, Episode 4 Title: MVP: Marcus Very Pissed Air date: April 23, 2026 Director: Michael Weaver Writers: Ike Barinholtz and David Stassen Summary: The tension between Norm and Marcus starts turning into a full-blown problem, forcing Isla into damage-control mode. Sandy finally hits his breaking point with Charlie’s reality show circus, while Ali begins questioning whether her big move was actually empowering or just a different flavor of chaos with better scenery. Rating out of 10 Those Canadians are the Nicest Cut Throats Ever Brian: 7.6/10 Darryl: 7.5/10 The Punisher: One Last Kill Title: The Punisher: One Last Kill Release date: May 12, 2026 Director: Reinaldo Marcus Green Writers: Jon Bernthal and Reinaldo Marcus Green Summary: Frank Castle is living off the grid, haunted by the ghosts of his past, and trying to exist without being the Punisher. Naturally, peace lasts about twelve seconds before Ma Gnucci and the Gnucci Crime Family drag him back into the kind of blood-soaked revenge spiral Marvel insists is “grounded” because nobody shoots laser beams. The special attempts to bridge Frank’s story between Daredevil: Born Again and his next MCU appearance, but for Brian and Darryl, this one lands less like a brutal character study and more like Marvel trying to convince everyone that misery equals depth. Frank deserves better. So do we. Rating out of 10 Disney Just Doesn’t Get It Brian: 1/10 Darryl: 4/10 The Boys: Season 5, Episode 7 Title: The Frenchman, the Female, and the Man Called Mother’s Milk Air date: May 13, 2026 Director: Sylvain White Writer: Anslem Richardson Summary: Homelander, now juiced up with V1, fully tips into god-king nightmare mode by killing the President, dissolving the Seven, and preparing to reveal himself as America’s favorite fascist deity. Soldier Boy tries to walk away, which goes about as well as you would expect when your son is Homelander and your family dynamic is basically a war crime with abs. Meanwhile, the Boys try to recreate Soldier Boy’s depowering ability through Kimiko, Marie Moreau and Jordan Li uncover suspicious activity around Oh Father at Vought Studios, and the episode ends with Frenchie making one last move to protect Kimiko before Homelander fatally wounds him. So, you know, just another relaxing week in the Vought Cinematic Trauma Dump. Rating out of 5 A God Complex is a Terrible Thing to Waste Brian: 1.5/5 Darryl: 1.5/5 Mortal Kombat II Title: Mortal Kombat II Release date: May 8, 2026 Director: Simon McQuoid Writer: Jeremy Slater Rating: 7.99/10 Summary: Johnny Cage enters the arena as Earthrealm’s fighters are pulled into the full-blown tournament chaos fans have been waiting for since the 2021 reboot. With Shao Kahn threatening the survival of Earthrealm and Kitana entering the mix, Mortal Kombat II leans into the franchise’s blood-soaked mythology, fan-service mayhem, and video game ridiculousness in all the ways a movie like this absolutely should. It is loud, dumb, violent, and somehow still better calibrated than half the superhero stuff clogging the pipeline.

    Buckle Up for Titans

    Apparently, Tim is HIM! This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl buckle up for a finale-heavy week with the last two episodes of Maul: Shadow Lord, the Season 2 finale of Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, the Season 2 finale of Daredevil: Born Again, The Boys Season 5 Episode 6, and Netflix’s 2026 limited series Lord of the Flies. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Lord of the Flies: 7:02 Maul: 12:47 Monarch: 29:32 Daredevil: 46:50 The Boys: 1:02:16 Lord of the Flies, Netflix Limited Series Limited Series Episodes: 4 Titles: Piggy, Jack, Simon, Ralph Netflix release date: May 4, 2026 in the U.S. Original release date: February 8, 2026 Director: Marc Munden Writer: Jack Thorne Summary: Netflix’s 2026 Lord of the Flies limited series adapts William Golding’s classic survival nightmare into a four-episode TV format, following a group of British schoolboys stranded on a deserted island after a plane crash. Ralph and Piggy try to build order, rules, and rescue plans, while Jack’s need for power and violence slowly turns the group into rival camps. The series tracks the collapse through four character-focused episodes: Piggy brings the boys together, Jack embraces the hunt, Simon becomes the tragic victim of the island’s growing hysteria, and Ralph watches the last pieces of civilization burn down around him. By the end, Piggy and Simon are dead, Ralph is hunted, and rescue arrives only after the boys have already proven that the real monster was never hiding in the jungle. Rating Out of 10 It Would Have Been Better Not to Try at All Brian: 1/10 Darryl: DNW Maul: Shadow Lord (Disney Plus) Title: Chapter 9: Strange Allies Air date: May 4, 2026 Director: Steward Lee Writer: Christopher Yost Summary: Dryden Vos enters the picture with an offer Maul absolutely cannot ignore: safe passage off Janix in exchange for Maul taking the reins of Crimson Dawn. Meanwhile, Maul reaches out to Devon through their Force connection, drawing her and the rest of the group into a desperate alliance. Lawson suggests a dangerous underground route out of the city, but the escape turns into a nightmare when the group has to cross a toxic river while the Inquisitors close in. Maul holds them off long enough for everyone to make it across, only for Darth Vader to arrive outside the city and casually remind everyone that there is always a bigger monster in the room. Title: Chapter 10: The Dark Lord Air date: May 4, 2026 Director: Nathaniel Villanueva Writer: Matt Michnovetz & Brad Rau Summary: The season finale throws Maul, Devon, Daki, the Lawsons, and the rest of the survivors straight into Vader’s shadow. Maul and the Jedi fight Vader and the Inquisitors while the others try to reach Dryden Vos’s ship through a wall of Imperial troops. Daki gets a brief victory over Marrok, but Vader kills him after Maul chooses self-preservation over loyalty. Devon’s grief and rage push her closer to Maul, who promises to train her for revenge. Lawson sacrifices himself so Rylee, Two-Boots, and Vario can escape, and by the time Vos’s ship leaves Janix, Devon agrees to become Maul’s apprentice. Good news: they escaped. Bad news: the emotional damage is now fully weaponized. Rating Out of 10 Shhhhh Vader Comes Brian: 8/10 Darryl: 9.4/10 Season out of 10 Maul, Not Darth Just Maul Brian: 6/10 Darryl: 8.8/10 Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Season 2 Finale Season 2, Episode 10 Title: Where We Belong Air date: May 1, 2026 Director: Lawrence Trilling Writer: Teleplay by Joe Pokaski; Story by Andrew Colville Summary: The finale brings the season’s Titan X chaos to Skull Island, where Kentaro leans into Isabel’s plan to use Axis Mundi to save Hiroshi, because apparently messing with monster time-space is the new family therapy. Kong battles Titan X while Cate escapes Isabel’s base and Keiko rescues her. Tim and May try to shut down the neural implants, but the real fix comes from returning Titan X’s egg, which pacifies the creature and ends the fight. Titan X returns to Axis Mundi with the egg, Shaw and Keiko get a brief emotional vision of younger Shaw, and six weeks later Monarch officially recruits Cate, Keiko, May, and Tim. Meanwhile, Shaw tracks Kentaro and Isabel to Thailand and finds Rodan waiting near a volcano, because this show simply refuses to end on a normal workplace update. Rating Out of 5 Starring Kentaro as Cate Brian: 4.38/5 Darryl: 4.35/5 Season out of 10 Why Did Titan X Only Fight with 2 Tentacles Most of the Fight Brian: 8.6/10 Darryl: 7.5/10 Daredevil: Born Again, Season 2 Finale Season 2, Episode 8 Title: The Southern Cross Air date: May 5, 2026 Director: Iain B. MacDonald Writer: Dario Scardapane & Jesse Wigutow Summary: Karen Page’s trial becomes the pressure cooker for the entire season as Matt calls Wilson Fisk to the stand, presents Savva’s video testimony, and publicly reveals that he is Daredevil to prove what Fisk has done. Dex stops AVTF officers from killing Matt, then takes a shot at Fisk, causing chaos inside the courthouse. Outside, Daredevil’s supporters rise up after BB Urich pushes the city to fight back. Fisk is offered exile to avoid charges, but because he is Wilson Fisk and subtlety has never once entered the chat, he lashes out and kills multiple protestors before Matt convinces him to take the deal. Fisk leaves New York, the AVTF collapses, BB lands at the New York Bulletin, Jessica reunites with Luke Cage, Heather Glenn starts sliding into Muse territory, and Matt ends the season arrested and imprisoned for being Daredevil. That is one hell of a “victory,” Matt.

Deep responds like the emotionally stable aquatic nightmare he is and murders Noir in retaliation. Meanwhile, Sage incapacitates Ashley and pulls information from Bashley, discovering that Soldier Boy may know where to find a lead on V1. That sends Sage into full defection mode as the final season keeps pushing everyone toward the inevitable blood-soaked endgame. Also, yes, somehow “Bashley” remains a thing we all have to say out loud.

    No Tim, You're not HIM

    Monarch’s Tim is LARPing as the MAN This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl dive into another packed week of prestige chaos, Sith trauma, kaiju family therapy, Hell’s Kitchen courtroom warfare, and The Boys reminding everyone that celebrity cameos are just meat with better agents. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Maul: 8:27 Monarch: 15:51 Daredevil: 29:40 The Boys: 44:14 Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, Episode 7 Title: Chapter 7: Call to Oblivion Air date: April 27, 2026 Director: Nathaniel Villanueva Writer: Julia Cooperman Summary: Maul brings Devon and Rylee to his hideout as the Empire closes in, but Devon refuses to follow him and tries to get Rylee away. Things go sideways fast when Imperial forces capture Rylee, forcing Devon back toward Lawson and Daki. Meanwhile, Maul’s attempt to escape Janix collapses into a brutal fight with Marrok and the Eleventh Brother, leaving his followers scattered, his ship destroyed, and his already damaged leg becoming a very real problem. Maul survives because of course he does, but this is the Empire turning the screws hard. Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord, Episode 8 Title: Chapter 8: The Creeping Fear Air date: April 27, 2026 Director: Saul Ruiz Writer: Jennifer Corbett Summary: With Maul separated from his crew and physically breaking down, the episode digs into his past through hallucinations of Sidious, Savage Opress, and the trauma that shaped him into the walking red flag he is today. Two-Boots finally gets his moral compass rebooted after learning what the Empire really did to Klyce, helping Rylee escape before the group walks into yet another trap. Sul sacrifices herself to stop Blake, and Maul’s surviving crew regroups just in time for a message from Dryden Vos, because apparently the galaxy’s criminal LinkedIn is still very active. Rating Out of 10 Help Me Darryl-Wan Kneobi, Brian Stopped Watching Darryl: 6.8/10 Brian: DNW Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Season 2, Episode 9 Title: Ends of the Earth Air date: April 24, 2026 Director: Lawrence Trilling Writer: Tanner Hansinger Summary: Outpost 18 tracks Godzilla and Titan X toward Skull Island, where Godzilla backs off and Isabel reveals the full flavor of her Apex-branded madness. Her plan is not just about Axis Mundi. It is about using Titan X, its egg, and Skull Island itself as pieces on a very expensive monster chessboard. Meanwhile, Tim, Shaw, Keiko, May, and Monarch forces follow Titan X onto the island, Shaw and Keiko get separated, Cate escapes, and Kentaro drops the emotional trap card by claiming they can save Hiroshi. In the 1958 storyline, Keiko and Bill marry, while Bill’s later obsession with rifts shows how this family has been getting emotionally nuked by monster science for decades. Rating Out of 5 When Godzilla and Titan X Stop to Have a Chat Brian: 4.01/5 Darryl: 3/5 Daredevil: Born Again, Season 2, Episode 7 Title: The Hateful Darkness Air date: April 28, 2026 Director: Iain B. MacDonald Writer: Heather Bellson Summary: Karen Page finally gets her day in court, and Matt comes out of hiding to help defend her alongside Kirsten McDuffie. The trial puts the AVTF under pressure, but Fisk’s machine responds the only way it knows how: violence, intimidation, and ugly backroom damage control. Jessica Jones confronts Mr. Charles and learns Luke Cage is working overseas with the CIA, while Dex interrupts an assassination attempt on Governor McCaffrey. The emotional gut punch lands with Daniel Blake, who nearly gives BB Urich up to Cashman before finding his spine at the worst possible time. He lets her escape, refuses to reveal her location, and pays for it with his life. Rating Out of 5, Matthew Murdock for the Defense is Straight Fire Brian: 4.22/5 Darryl: 3.5/5 The Boys, Season 5, Episode 5 Title: One-Shots Air date: April 29, 2026 Director: Phil Sgriccia Writer: Judalina Neira Summary: The Boys keeps pushing the virus and chasing V1 while Homelander and Soldier Boy go hunting for answers through Stan Edgar and Mister Marathon.

Marathon’s escape turns into a blood-soaked celebrity disaster before Homelander finishes him off. Back at Vought, Sage warns Ashley that Homelander can’t get V1, Noir spirals through theater-kid identity crisis hell, The Deep does Deep things, and Firecracker finally starts doubting Homelander, which goes about as well as expected. He kills her. Because apparently loyalty programs at Vought end with murder.

With the Imperial occupation escalating, Rook Kast warns Maul that the situation is getting worse, while Looti Vario begins questioning whether staying with the Shadow Collective is safer than running. Meanwhile, Brander Lawson finds himself caught between Imperial pressure, local chaos, and Maul’s growing influence, as the arrival of the Inquisitors turns Janix into a hunting ground. Maul: Shadow Lord, Episode 6 Title: Chapter 6: Night of the Hunted Air date: April 20, 2026 Director: Steward Lee Writer: Nicolas Anastassiou Summary: Maul, Devon Izara, Brander Lawson, and the others are forced into survival mode as Marrok and the Inquisitors close in. What started as Maul rebuilding his criminal empire becomes something much more dangerous as the Empire realizes there are Force users hiding on Janix. Marrok’s pursuit pushes the group into desperate choices, and when he fails to bring Maul down, he makes a mysterious call to an unseen figure he addresses as “my lord,” setting up a much larger threat for Maul, Devon, and anyone standing between them and the Empire. Rating Out of 10 Whatever Darryl Thinks Darryl: 7.9/10 Brian: DNW Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (Apple TV) Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Season 2, Episode 8 Title: Separate Ways Air date: April 17, 2026 Director: Gandja Monteiro Writer: Mariko Tamaki Summary: Titan X makes landfall in Australia, forcing Monarch into another high-stakes monster crisis as Shaw attempts to lure Godzilla into a direct showdown. While the Titans dominate the battlefield, Isabel uses the chaos as cover for a secret operation, because apparently one giant monster fight was not enough drama for the week. The episode also pushes Cate closer to the truth about Titan X, including the discovery that the creature may not be the threat everyone assumed. Out of 5 Finally Godzilla! Brian: 3.8/5 Darry: 3.2/5 Daredevil: Born Again (Disney Plus) Daredevil: Born Again, Season 2, Episode 6 Title: Requiem Air date: April 21, 2026 Director: Angela Barnes Writers: Devon Kliger and Jesse Wigutow Summary: “Requiem” keeps the pressure on Hell’s Kitchen as Fisk’s grip starts to show cracks and Matt tries to make an impossible move by seeking a truce with Wilson Fisk. Around them, everyone seems to be making destructive choices: Mr. Charles makes his move, Daniel confronts BB, Powell’s violence escalates, Heather snaps, and Karen nearly makes a devastating decision. The episode also brings Jessica Jones back into the mix, raising the stakes for Matt’s growing resistance against Fisk and the AVTF. Out of 5 How Was Matt’s Back Not Destroyed When He Went Through the Wall Painting Brian: 3.4/5 Darryl: 3/5 The Boys (Amazon Prime) The Boys, Season 5, Episode 4 Title: King of Hell Air date: April 22, 2026 Director: Karen Gaviola Writer: Geoff Aull Summary: Homelander takes another step toward declaring himself America’s new god, with Firecracker and the Vought propaganda machine helping turn his messianic delusions into a full-blown movement. Meanwhile, The Boys investigate Fort Harmony in search of V1, an early and extremely dangerous version of Compound V. The mission gets weird fast when they encounter Quinn, a scientist fused into the base itself, whose powers trigger violent aggression and infighting. Soldier Boy and Homelander clash again, Annie searches for answers about her father, Ryan walks away from Butcher, and the episode ends with Vought pushing Homelander further into cult-leader territory. Rating Out of 5 Stuck in a Uranium Filled Room Bleeding Out Your **** Brian: 4.1/5 Darryl: 3.43/5 Invincible (Amazon Prime) Invincible, Season 4, Episode 8 Title: Don’t Leave Me Hanging Here Air date: April 22, 2026 Director: Ian Abando Writer: Simon Racioppa Summary: The Season 4 finale shifts away from one last giant battle and instead deals with the emotional fallout of the Viltrumite War. Mark returns to Earth shaken, haunted by visions of the people he loves being slaughtered, while Thragg reveals that the surviving Viltrumites are now hiding on Earth and gives Mark a brutal ultimatum: let them live among humans or risk Earth being destroyed. Mark reluctantly agrees, hoping to buy time. Meanwhile, Eve reveals she had an abortion while Mark was gone, Nolan and Debbie leave for Telescria to care for Oliver, and Allen is left with a terrifying choice after learning about a perfected Scourge Virus that could wipe out Viltrumites, and possibly humanity too.

    Guuuuts in Spaaaaace

    Five shows, one galaxy of trauma This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl dive into Maul: Shadow Lord Episodes 3 and 4, break down Invincible Season 4 Episode 7, review Monarch: Legacy of Monsters Season 2 Episode 7, check in on Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 Episode 5, and survive The Boys Season 5 Episode 3. It’s a packed week of monsters, mayhem, revenge, and people making extremely bad choices with tremendous confidence. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Maul Shadow Lord: Monarch: Daredevil: The Boys: Invincible: Maul: Shadow Lord (Disney+) Maul: Shadow Lord, Episode 3 Title: Chapter 3: Whispers in the Unknown Air date: April 13, 2026 Director: Steward Lee Writer: Julia Cooperman Summary: Devon escapes captivity only to be pulled back into Maul’s orbit, where he toys with her psychologically as much as physically. While Lawson tries to juggle the Maul crisis with his failing home life, Maul escalates his war with the Pykes by hitting one of their shipments and tightening his grip on Janix. The episode leans hard into dread, temptation, and Maul’s creepy mentor energy. Maul: Shadow Lord, Episode 4 Title: Chapter 4: Pride and Vengeance Air date: April 13, 2026 Director: Nathaniel Villanueva Writer: Amanda Rose Muñoz Summary: Maul makes his move against Marg Krim and forces the Pyke Syndicate into line, while Devon reunites with Daki and tries to help Lawson mount a real resistance. Lawson’s raid on Maul’s hideout goes badly, Daki and Devon confront Maul directly, and the whole situation gets much worse when the Empire is finally called in. Basically: everybody makes one bad decision after another, and then an Imperial Star Destroyer shows up to make it everyone’s problem. Rating Out of 10 I Really Thought the Padiwan Was Going to Turn On the Lizard Guy Brian: 5/10 Darryl: 8.1/10 Monarch Legacy of Monsters (Apple TV) Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Season 2, Episode 7 Title: String Theory Air date: April 10, 2026 Director: Gandja Monteiro Writer: Joe Pokaski Summary: Shaw receives an impossible radio transmission that pushes the season deeper into its time-bending weirdness. Cate and Keiko uncover an ancient connection to Titan X, while Kentaro gets a dangerous new offer tied to Apex’s larger ambitions. The episode mixes emotional sci-fi melancholy with MonsterVerse myth-building, which is a fancy way of saying it gets sad, strange, and ominous in exactly the way this show likes.  Rating out of 5 Way To Almost Erase Yourself Shaw Brian: 4.11/5 Darryl: 3.61/5 Daredevil: Born Again (Dsiney+) Daredevil: Born Again, Season 2, Episode 5 Title: The Grand Design Air date: April 14, 2026 Director: Angela Barnes Writer: Jesse Wigutow Summary: Matt’s war against Fisk keeps tightening as the season hits its midpoint and starts showing more of the machinery behind Fisk’s grip on New York. The title alone tells you this is an episode about schemes, structure, and people realizing they’re standing inside someone else’s plan. Midseason episodes like this are where the screws get turned, and this one sounds built to do exactly that.  Rating out of 5 Mercy Sir… Mercy Brian: 3.6/5 Darryl: 3.2/5 The Boys (Amazon Prime) The Boys, Season 5, Episode 3 Title: Every One of You Sons of Bitches Air date: April 15, 2026 Director: Karen Gaviola Writer: Ellie Monahan Summary: Ryan goes feral, Homelander spirals further into god-complex territory, and Soldier Boy’s return throws gasoline on everything. The Supe-killing virus, V1, and Vought’s ugly origins all start crashing into one another while betrayals, deaths, and deeply unhealthy father-son dynamics pile up. So, you know, a normal Wednesday for this disgusting little masterpiece. Rating Out of 5 Ryan is Surprisingly Hard to Kill Brian: 4.23/5 Darryl: 3.8/5 Invincible (Amazon Prime) Invincible, Season 4, Episode 7 Title: Don’t Do Anything Rash Air date: April 15, 2026 Director: Stephanie Gonzaga Writer: Helen Leigh Summary: The episode dives into Viltrumite history, revealing how Thaedus assassinated Argall and how Thragg rose to power through the empire’s brutal purge of the weak. In the present, Mark, Nolan, Oliver, Allen, Battle Beast, Space Racer, and the Coalition take the fight to Viltrum, only to walk into a vicious ambush. Oliver gets horribly wrecked, Thaedus pays dearly, and the episode turns into one long slab of galactic violence and despair. Cheerful stuff.
