In this gripping finale episode of Catholic Guilt: A Daredevil Born Again Podcast, hosts Peter and Eddie dive headfirst into the explosive season closer of Daredevil: Born Again, Episode 9, "Straight to Hell." Matt Murdock (Charlie Cox) faces his darkest hour as Mayor Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) tightens his iron grip on New York City, unleashing chaos and martial law. The Marvelists unpack the jaw-dropping return of Frank Castle/The Punisher (Jon Bernthal) and Karen Page (Deborah Ann Woll), dissecting their emotional reunions with Matt and the ideological clash between Daredevil’s no-kill code and Punisher’s brutal justice.
With Fisk’s “Safer Streets” initiative plunging the city into darkness and Matt assembling a resistance at Josie’s Bar, the episode sets up a thrilling Season 2. Peter and Eddie share their excitement for the MCU’s street-level future, toss in some comic book Easter eggs (hello, Red Hook free port!), and reflect on whether Born Again lives up to its Netflix predecessor. Join us for heartfelt banter, sharp analysis, and a few laughs as we wrestle with the moral murk of Hell’s Kitchen—one guilt-ridden episode at a time!
