Episode 513 – Born Again, Invincible, and Dunesday Drama

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.

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.

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.
