This week on Hardly Working, we’re diving into some of the biggest casting news, reboots, and hot takes that might actually offend you.

We break down everything happening with Spider-Man: Brand New Day, including:

• Tom Holland and Zendaya returning
• Sadie Sink joining in a mystery role
• Jon Bernthal as Punisher
• Mark Ruffalo back as Hulk

We also debate the 3 most likely roles Sadie could be playing — and why this movie might be setting up the next era of the MCU. 

Then… the beach is back.

A new Baywatch is in the works starring:

• Stephen Amell
• Shay Mitchell
• TikTok star Noah Beck
• Athlete/influencer Livvy Dunne

We talk about whether this is a true reboot… or just another “Gen Z vibe show” built for aesthetics and social media reach.

Also in TV news, The White Lotus Season 4 is shaping up to be STACKED with names like:

• Helena Bonham Carter
• Kumail Nanjiani
• Max Greenfield
• Chloe Bennet
• Vincent Cassel

And yes — we explain why this cast feels so random… and why that’s exactly the point.

Plus:

• Madonna is returning to acting for the first time in 20+ years
• A bigger conversation about how casting is shifting toward influencers + built-in audiences
• Why reboots are starting to feel more like brand extensions than actual storytelling

And of course… Unpopular Opinions:

• Morning showers make no sense
• Most people don’t actually like traveling — they like having traveled
• Inconveniencing yourself is part of life (and we’ve stopped doing it)
• TV intros should be under 10 seconds
• Restaurant vibes don’t matter — the food does

Casting chaos, reboot fatigue, and a little existential travel crisis — all in one episode.
