In this episode, Rick and Rudy kick things off with a quick look at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, including highlights from Marvel Studios and recent comments by Kevin Feige about the future of the MCU. The duo dives into the bombshell news of a post–Secret Wars reboot, a streamlined timeline, and the rumored recasting of major heroes like Iron Man and Captain America—will it save the franchise or bury it deeper?

Next up, the guys shift gears to Nintendo’s big live-action Legend of Zelda casting reveal! With Link and Zelda finally announced, Rick and Rudy share their thoughts, hopes, and a few hesitations about the future of this iconic franchise on the silver screen.

But the main event? The absolutely wild and now-viral scandal surrounding the CEO of Astronomer, who was caught having an affair—at a Coldplay concert—on the big screen! We break down the drama, the sheer chaos of the reveal, his awkward public statement demanding “privacy” in a very public moment, and the internet’s hilarious reaction. From the concert crowd’s stunned response to the CEO’s bizarre claims of non-consensual screen time, it’s a story that’s as messy as it is meme-worthy.

Tune in for laughs, hot takes, and a whole lot of side-eye.
Sigma Duocast – where the news gets real and the takes stay spicy.

In this episode of Sigma Duocast, Rick and Rudy suit up to share their thoughts on James Gunn’s Superman (2025) — and the capes don’t quite align. Rick gives the film a 4/10, while Rudy scores it a solid 6.5/10, sparking an honest, deep-dive discussion filled with sharp insight, bold opinions, and signature banter.

Rick offers a fair and open-minded perspective as he contrasts Gunn’s hopeful, idealistic Superman with Zack Snyder’s darker, mythic take. While he respects the creative direction, he explores where the film fell flat for him — from Superman’s vague weaknesses and uneven storytelling to a Lex Luthor portrayal that left much to be desired.

Rudy balances the discussion by pointing out the film’s strengths — its charm, tone, and attempts at world-building — while also acknowledging its shortcomings. The result is a thoughtful, passionate, and often humorous conversation that digs into the heart of what makes Superman work (or not) in a new cinematic era.

Tune in for hot takes, honest dialogue, and plenty of moments that’ll make you think twice before putting on that cape.

We discuss Social Media and its effects on mental health. How Social Media creates and nurtures anxiety, depression and peer to peer validation.

Before we get to Social Media I do go on a quick rant about our explicit content.

In this special episode, I join Uncle Dad from Uncle Dad Talks to sit down with award-winning filmmakers Jordan Bryon and Monica Villamizar to discuss their groundbreaking documentary Transition. The film takes an unflinching look at Bryon’s journey of coming out as transgender while living in Afghanistan, a country on the brink of upheaval during the Taliban's 2021 offensive. Transition captures Bryon’s dual struggle—navigating personal identity and survival in one of the most dangerous places on Earth—while documenting life alongside Taliban fighters.

Bryon and Villamizar share behind-the-scenes stories about making the film, the risks involved, and their reflections on covering stories that challenge global perceptions.
