    Netflix Broke the Avatar, Sony Broke the Shelf

    Netflix rewrites beloved characters, Sony walks away from physical media, Westeros delivers, and DC Studios stumbles out of the gate again. This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl discuss Netflix’s handling of Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 and why disrespecting beloved characters is becoming one of streaming’s biggest problems. They also break down Sony’s latest PlayStation decisions and what they mean for the future of physical media and game ownership. Then it’s back to Westeros for House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 2 before wrapping things up with their review of Supergirl (2026) and whether DC Studios has another winner on its hands. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Playstation Kill Physical Media: 06:07 AtLAB, Netfilx is why we can’t have nice things: 28:20 House of the Dragon: 41:57 Supergirl: 56:27 PlayStation Announces the End of Physical Media Announcement Date: July 1, 2026 Effective Date: January 2028 Company: Sony Interactive Entertainment Summary: Sony announced that beginning in January 2028, all new PlayStation games will be released digitally only, ending production of physical Blu-ray game discs for future releases. Games already released—or scheduled for release before the 2028 cutoff—will continue to be sold on disc, but every new title afterward will require a digital download through the PlayStation Store or participating retailers. Sony says the decision reflects changing consumer habits, noting that digital purchases now account for roughly 80% of full-game sales on PlayStation. Key Details: – Physical discs for new PlayStation releases end in January 2028. – Existing disc-based games will continue to work and remain available while supplies last. – Retailers will transition to selling digital download codes instead of boxed games. – Sony says the move follows overwhelming consumer preference for digital purchases. Why It Matters: – Gamers lose the ability to buy, sell, trade, or lend future PlayStation games. – Collectors will no longer have physical editions for new releases. – Consumers become increasingly tied to Sony’s digital storefront and licensing model. – Preservation advocates worry that future games could become inaccessible if licensing changes or digital storefronts eventually close. – Digital-only distribution gives publishers greater pricing control by reducing competition from the used-game market. Discussion Points: – Do you really own a digital game, or are you simply purchasing a revocable license? – What happens to game preservation when no physical copy exists? – Will digital-only distribution lead to higher prices due to reduced retail competition? – Is convenience worth giving up ownership rights? – Does this set the stage for the PlayStation 6 to become a fully digital platform? Industry analysts increasingly believe so. Infamous Take: While digital downloads are undeniably convenient, this announcement marks the end of an era. Physical media has always given players tangible ownership, resale value, and long-term access independent of corporate licensing agreements. Sony’s decision may make business sense, but it also shifts even more control away from consumers and toward platform holders; a trend that extends far beyond gaming. Avatar: The Last Airbender (Netflix) Season: 2 Platform: Netflix Summary: Brian and Darryl discuss Netflix’s continued adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender and why they believe the series is losing sight of what made the original so beloved. The conversation focuses on major character changes, the difference between adaptation and rewriting, and why respecting the heart of the source material matters just as much as updating it for a modern audience. House of the Dragon (HBO Max) Season 3, Episode 2 Title: Queen’s Landing Air Date: June 28, 2026 Director: Clare Kilner Writer: Sara Hess Summary: Following the devastating Battle of the Gullet, Rhaenyra’s grief quickly turns into resolve as Team Black moves to seize King’s Landing. Alicent secretly conspires to surrender the city in hopes of saving part of her family, while Daemon returns to continue the campaign. The episode marks a major turning point in the Dance of the Dragons as alliances shift, old loyalties collapse, and Rhaenyra finally claims the Iron Throne at tremendous personal cost. Rating out of 5 Otto Not So Hightower Brian: 4.5/5 Darryl: 4.45/5 Supergirl (2026) Release Date: June 26, 2026 Runtime: 108 minutes Director: Craig Gillespie Writer: Ana Nogueira Based On: Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow by Tom King and Bilquis Evely Studio: DC Studios Distributor: Warner Bros. Pictures Summary: Kara Zor-El embarks on a brutal interstellar journey alongside the young warrior Ruthye Marye Knoll to hunt down the man responsible for murdering Ruthye’s family. Along the way, Kara confronts her own trauma while facing the ruthless Krem of the Yellow Hills, resulting in a darker, more cosmic take on the Girl of Steel than previous film adaptations. Main Cast: – Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El / Supergirl – Eve Ridley as Ruthye Marye Knoll – Matthias Schoenaerts as Krem of the Yellow Hills – Jason Momoa as Lobo – David Krumholtz as Zor-El – Emily Beecham as Alura In-Ze – David Corenswet as Superman (cameo) Production Notes: The second film in DC Studios’ new shared universe adapts Tom King’s acclaimed Woman of Tomorrow storyline, emphasizing Kara’s emotional scars and cosmic adventures over a traditional superhero origin. Despite strong expectations and praise for Milly Alcock’s performance, the film opened below box office projections and received mixed critical reception, making it one of the first commercial disappointments of the new DC Universe.

Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the rest of the gang find themselves challenged by Lilypad, a frog-themed smart tablet that pulls Bonnie’s attention away from the toys and forces them to confront whether old-school imagination can survive in a screen-first world. Darryl gives the quick two-minute recap, but the big question is simple: does Pixar still have the emotional pull, or is this franchise finally running on low battery? Main Voice Cast: Tom Hanks as Woody Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear Joan Cusack as Jessie Greta Lee as Lilypad Conan O’Brien as Smarty Pants Tony Hale Craig Robinson Shelby Rabara Mykal-Michelle Harris Matty Matheson John Ratzenberger Wallace Shawn Annie Potts Keanu Reeves Alan Cumming Production Notes: Toy Story 5 is directed by longtime Pixar veteran Andrew Stanton, co-directed by Kenna Harris, and scored by Randy Newman, returning to the franchise for his fifth Toy Story feature.

The penultimate episode pushes Ben into an identity crisis after his encounter with Dr. Faber, while Silvermane’s superhuman muscle keeps escalating the war for the city. The finale brings the season’s private-eye mystery, superhero guilt, gangster politics, and full-blown noir weirdness to a head. Main Cast: Nicolas Cage as Ben Reilly / The Spider Lamorne Morris as Robbie Robertson Li Jun Li Karen Rodriguez Abraham Popoola Jack Huston Brendan Gleeson Production Notes: Spider-Noir is an eight-episode live-action noir superhero series built around an older, down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York who has to confront his past as the city’s masked vigilante.

    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.

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.

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.

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.

    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. Rating out of 5 I AM… Daredevil Brian: 4.51/5 Darryl: 3.89/5 Season out of 10 It’s just too clean Brian: 7.68/10 Darryl: 6.56/10 The Boys, Season 5 Episode 6 Title: Though the Heavens Fall Air date: May 6, 2026 Director: Catriona McKenzie Writer: David Reed Summary: The Deep gets stuck doing Vought propaganda for a new oil pipeline, while Noir, tired of Deep wrecking his career plans, sabotages the whole thing and causes a catastrophic oil spill. 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. In Los Angeles, Mister Marathon and Malchemical try to pull Soldier Boy away from Homelander, but Soldier Boy chooses Team Daddy Issues and kills Malchemical instead. 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.
