    Episode 28: From Davis Wade to the Dungeon

    This week on The Justin Strawn Podcast, we're covering a little bit of everything I'm excited about right now. We start at Davis Wade Stadium with a look at the floor and ceiling for Mississippi State football in 2026, then jump into Lanterns, Dungeon Crawler Carl, and the upcoming Star Wars: Zero Company. (0:00) – Mississippi State Football's Floor and Ceiling in 2026What should Mississippi State fans realistically expect this season? I look at both ends of the spectrum—from what could go wrong to what could happen if everything comes together—and try to figure out where the Bulldogs ultimately land. (12:41) – Lanterns Episode 3The third episode of Lanterns gives us more to dig into as the mystery surrounding Hal Jordan and John Stewart continues to unfold. I share my thoughts on the episode, the developing relationship between the two Green Lanterns, and where the series appears to be heading. (22:47) – Dungeon Crawler CarlI've officially started my journey into the world of Dungeon Crawler Carl. I talk about my introduction to the series, my first impressions of Carl and Donut, and why this bizarre premise has already hooked me. (29:18) – Star Wars: Zero CompanyFinally, I share my initial thoughts on Star Wars: Zero Company and why the idea of a new Star Wars strategy game has me interested. What I'm hoping the game delivers and why this could be a really interesting addition to the Star Wars universe. Thanks for listening to The Justin Strawn Podcast!

Between NIL, the transfer portal, conference realignment, and the growing influence of money, is the version of college sports we grew up loving slowly disappearing? I take a look at where things are headed and whether there is still hope for the future. (18:50) – Spider-Man: Brand New DaySpider-Man: Brand New Day is almost here, and the excitement surrounding the film continues to grow.

(28:04) – Lanterns – Episodes 1 & 2I wrap up the episode with my thoughts on the first two episodes of Lanterns. What worked, what surprised me, and why the new series could be something very different—and very special—for DC. Thanks for listening!
