Episode 513 – Born Again, Invincible, and Dunesday Drama
Dune vs. Doomsday
This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl dig into the Dune vs. Doomsday box office standoff, review Monarch Season 2 Episode 5, Invincible Season 4 Episode 5, and break down the first three episodes of Daredevil: Born Again Season 2.

Intro: 0:07
WB vs. Disney (Dune x Avengers): 5:04
Monarch: 14:37
Invincible: 26:33
Daredevil Born Again: 36:37
Dunesday 2026
For the movie-date standoff, the official release date for both Dune: Part Three and Avengers: Doomsday is still December 18, 2026. Warner’s Dune: Part Three is positioned for IMAX, while Marvel’s own official page still lists Avengers: Doomsday on December 18 as well. There is current reporting that Marvel may be considering a move, but that appears to be rumor/reporting territory, not official confirmation yet. Based on the IMAX angle alone, my best bet is Marvel/Disney moves first, not WB.
Monarch: Legacy of Monsters (Apple TV)
Season 2, Episode 5
Title: Furusato
Air date: March 27, 2026
Director: Jeff F. King
Writer: Andrew Colville
Summary:
In 2017, Hiroshi clashes with Keiko and Shaw after learning about their affair. Brenda, May, and Trissop lead an Apex team to Santa Soledad, while Cate, Kentaro, Hiroshi, Keiko, and Shaw pursue them and take shelter in the abandoned Monarch Outpost 27. Hiroshi and Keiko reconcile, Tim redirects Outpost 18 toward the island, Titan X appears, and Shaw realizes Apex may want to weaponize Titans rather than pacify them. Titan X’s arrival stirs up the island’s Scarabs, injures Shaw, and seems to exert a strange pull on Cate as it emerges.

Summary:
Allen and Nolan lay out the stakes to Mark and Eve, and Mark reluctantly agrees to join the Coalition’s war against the Viltrumites. Nolan tries to make amends with Debbie, Allen recruits Tech Jacket, and Oliver insists on coming along. After saying goodbye, Mark and the group depart for Talescria, only to be ambushed by a Viltrumite ship led by Conquest, Lucan, and Kradd. The fight turns brutal, ending with Mark killing Conquest, while Thaedus decides the time has come for open war against the Viltrumites.

Darevdevil: Born Again (Disney+)

Title: The Northern Star
Air date: March 24, 2026
Directors: Aaron Moorhead & Justin Benson
Writer: Dario Scardapane
Summary:
Matt Murdock, back as Daredevil, infiltrates the Northern Star, a cargo ship moving military-grade weapons tied to Fisk’s Red Hook operation. CIA operative Mr. Charles works to protect Fisk’s anti-vigilante agenda, while Matt and Karen quietly work against him. Heather Glenn is drawn into Fisk’s orbit, Cherry is attacked, and Matt is ultimately unmasked by AVTF officers before Dex intervenes. 
Season 2, Episode 2
Title: Shoot the Moon
Air date: March 31, 2026
Directors: Justin Benson & Aaron Moorhead
Writer: Dario Scardapane
Summary:
Cherry escapes the hospital before the AVTF can reach him, while Fisk puts out a missing-person warrant for Matt, making it dangerous for him to operate in either identity. Angela seeks help through Kirsten McDuffie and retrieves Hector Ayala’s amulet, BB escalates her anti-Fisk smear campaign, Vanessa grows increasingly uneasy about Dex, and Matt and Karen are attacked at Josie’s, where Karen reveals she has taken one of the officers hostage. 
Season 2, Episode 3
Title: The Scales & the Sword
Air date: March 31, 2026
Director: Solvan “Slick” Naim
Writer: Heather Bellson
Summary:
The captive officer gives Matt and Karen access to Red Hook, and they leak a charter that could strip Fisk’s authority there. McDuffie learns Fisk had framed Duquesne after he refused to support the Red Hook project, but the courts still convict him. Daredevil breaks into Red Hook expecting to destroy weapons and instead finds Fisk’s prison holding political enemies, leading to a prison break with help from Duquesne, Karen, and Angela, while Fisk escalates public fear by having the AVTF kill the Northern Star night crew.
