It’s a brand-new year, and we’re kicking things off by looking ahead and why we’re excited about it.

In this episode, Dave & Cody talk about the movies, shows, and stories they’re most looking forward to in 2026. From massive blockbusters like The Odyssey, Supergirl, and Avengers: Doomsday, to TV standouts like Shrinking, Lanterns, and House of the Dragon, we dig into what has us hopeful, curious, and cautiously optimistic.

Along the way, we talk about:

• Why Project Hail Mary could be a modern sci-fi classic

• The surprising promise of Supergirl and the future of DC

• Why The Mandalorian & Grogu still matters

• The return of prestige TV with shows like Shrinking and The Pitt

• What excites (and worries) us about Marvel’s next chapter

• And why stories still matter — especially in a world that feels exhausted

It’s a wide ranging, honest, and hopeful conversation about pop culture, storytelling, and the things we’re genuinely looking forward to in 2026.
