Sam Talks Nerdy

James Gunn’s Superman (2025) is finally here, kicking off a brand-new era of the DC Universe—and I’m breaking it all down. In this spoiler-filled review, I dive into what worked, what didn’t, and whether this film sets a strong tone for the future of the DCU.

From David Corenswet’s Superman, Nicholas Hoult’s Lex Luthor, and Rachael Brosnahan’s Lois Lane, to the introduction of Metamorpho, Mr. Terrific, and the Justice Gang—this film packs a punch.

I also discuss story structure, favorite scenes, cameos, and what the ending could mean for Supergirl, The Authority, and future DCU projects.

Marvel might be back—and Thunderbolts* could be the film that kicks off the MCU’s redemption arc. In this spoiler-filled episode, I break down Marvel’s latest team-up movie and talk through the standout characters, unexpected emotional depth, and what The Sentry and The Void mean for the future of the MCU.

We dive into Yelena’s MVP performance, US Agent’s redemption, Red Guardian’s heart, and how Ghost, Val, and Bucky fit into it all. Plus: a surprising amount of A24-style existentialism and an ending that sets up Fantastic Four and Doomsday.

Is Thunderbolts* top 10 MCU? Or just another Phase 5 experiment? Let’s talk about it.

The first season of Daredevil: Born Again is officially done—and it’s one of Marvel’s boldest Disney+ shows yet. In this episode, I break down the highs, lows, and everything in between. From the return of Charlie Cox, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Jon Bernthal to courtroom drama, Kingpin’s transformation, and that White Tiger arc… we’re diving into it all.

Was this a worthy follow-up to the Netflix classic? How did the weekly release format help—or hurt—the story? And what should we expect from Devil’s Reign in Season 2?

Whether you’re Team Matt, Team Kingpin, or just happy to see Daredevil back in action, this one’s for you.

In this episode of Sam Watches, I dive into the first season of Solo Leveling—the hyped-up anime that's been breaking the internet. I break it all down with my usual positives, neutrals, and negatives. Is Sung Jin-Woo the ultimate OP protagonist? Does the adaptation live up to the manhwa? And does the animation deliver that shadow magic heat?

Whether you're deep into anime reviews, new to Solo Leveling, or just want to hear if it’s worth the binge, this episode’s for you.

🎙️ Powered by casual takes, real opinions, and a bit of anime chaos.

The Fox X-Men Are Officially Part of Avengers: Doomsday! From Deadpool and Wolverine to classic characters like Magneto and Mystique, Marvel is bringing back the Fox X-Men in a big way. But how do they fit into the MCU? Plot leaks hint that Monica Rambeau’s arrival on an X-Men Earth sparks an Incursion with Earth-616, leading to a possible Avengers vs. X-Men showdown. Is this the Days of Future Past timeline? Logan’s Earth? Or something completely new? I’ll break down all the leaks, theories, and what this means for the MCU moving forward. Plus, who else might return? Halle Berry’s Storm? Famke Janssen’s Jean Grey?

I've had this idea cooking for a bit now. And, with the success and hype around X-Men'97, I thought now was the time to do it! I use two different AI chat engines to fancast the X-Men for the MCU!
