The movie world just got its own Barbenheimer moment — and this time it's Dune vs Marvel. On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, Kristian Harloff and the crew break down the internet-breaking DUNESDAY showdown as Dune: Part Three and Avengers: Doomsday appear headed for a massive box-office collision.

With Timothée Chalamet and Robert Downey Jr. both breaking their silence on the hype, we analyze what this head-to-head really means for Hollywood. Can Denis Villeneuve's epic sci-fi saga go toe-to-toe with the MCU's biggest event since Endgame, or will Avengers: Doomsday dominate theaters worldwide? We also unpack how the Avengers directors are positioning the latest sneak peeks as clues, not teasers or trailers, and what that might mean for the future of the MCU.

In other entertainment news, Scott Cooper is setting his sights on a dramatic take on the Roswell UFO incident, promising a new spectacle in sci-fi cinema. From game adaptations, Ryan Hurst has officially been cast as Kratos in the live-action God of War project — and we break down what that casting choice means for fans.

On the streaming front, Paramount+ is set to increase its subscription prices beginning January 15, 2026, just days before the streamer debuts the first UFC numbered event under its new broadcast deal with UFC at UFC 324 — raising fees on both monthly and annual plans as it becomes the exclusive home for UFC content.
