The Jock and Nerd gang are back with a loaded episode! 🦑

They dive into the Box Office landscape, break down the latest updates from James Gunn's DCU and Kevin Feige's MCU, and react to a flood of trailers including Predator: Badlands, The Running Man, Tron: Ares, Mortal Kombat II, and Street Fighter casting news!

Then it's time for a spoiler-filled deep dive into the Season 3 finale of Squid Game — character arcs, twists, and what it all means for the future of the franchise.

🎥 In the final segment, the crew shares what they've been watching — including thoughts on Eddington, Man of Steel, Heads of State, Back in Action, and Mickey17.
