This week on Original Geek, we head into Hell’s Kitchen to talk all things Daredevil — especially Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+.

Steve and Jeff break down what’s working in the new series, why Vincent D’Onofrio’s Kingpin is still one of Marvel’s best villains, how the Netflix version shaped the modern character, and whether the 2003 Ben Affleck Daredevil movie deserves a reduced sentence in Geek Court.

We also get into Daredevil’s comic roots, Frank Miller’s influence, old-school comic memories, the street-level side of Marvel, and why bringing Charlie Cox and the original cast back was one of the smartest moves Marvel could have made.

If you grew up on comic books, Marvel shows, and superhero movies that were sometimes amazing and sometimes a beautiful mess, this episode is for you.
