July 10, 2026 Episode 525 – Jubi-Mother-Frackin-lation Lee is Bad Ass 97
George Washington Rises, Westeros Crawls, and Jubilee Steals the Damn Show

Supergirl and Sony Follow-Up
Supergirl gets a quick follow-up after last week’s conversation, with the focus on whether the new DCU is starting to build real momentum or still asking fans to trust the larger plan. There are pieces that could work, but the bigger question is whether those creative choices are actually landing yet.
Sony’s continued move away from physical media raises bigger questions for collectors, gamers, and fans who still care about owning what they buy. As entertainment keeps shifting toward digital libraries and platform control, the concern becomes whether fans are buying permanent access or just renting permission.
Young Washington
Release Date: July 3, 2026
Runtime: 122 minutes
Director: Jon Erwin
Writers: Jon Erwin, Tom Provost, and Diederik Hoogstraten
Based On: The early life and military career of George Washington during the French and Indian War
Studios: Wonder Project, 2521 Entertainment, 10 Ton Productions, and Red 56
Distributor: Angel Studios
Summary:
Young Washington follows George Washington before he became the Father of the Nation, focusing on his early military failures, his ambition, and the frontier conflict that helped shape the man he would become. The film tracks Washington as he is pulled into the French and Indian War, forced to deal with shifting alliances, dangerous mistakes, and the brutal reality of leadership before he is truly ready for it.
Main Cast:
William Franklyn-Miller as Young George Washington
Mary-Louise Parker as Mary Washington
Kelsey Grammer as Lord Fairfax
Andy Serkis
Ben Kingsley
Production Notes:
Directed and co-written by Jon Erwin, Young Washington arrives as a historical war drama built around the making of George Washington rather than the myth of George Washington. The film leans into the mistakes, pressure, and survival instincts of a young man caught in a conflict much bigger than himself. A sequel titled 1776 is already in development, continuing Washington’s story into the American Revolution.

House of the Dragon (HBO / Max)
House of the Dragon, Season 3 Episode 3
Title: Rhaenyra Triumphant
Air date: July 5, 2026
Based On: Fire & Blood by George R. R. Martin
Created By: Ryan Condal and George R. R. Martin
Summary:
Rhaenyra’s hold on King’s Landing is already starting to look more fragile than victorious. The city is starving, the treasury is gone, and ruling from the Iron Throne is proving to be very different from claiming it. While Rhaenyra tries to stabilize her rule, Daemon pushes for harsher action, Corlys fights for the future of his family, and the supposed Daeron situation becomes another political mess inside an already broken war.
The episode is good, but slower this week, spending more time on fallout, legitimacy, and court tension than dragon fire or battlefield momentum. It is very much a table-setting episode, but the pieces it moves could matter a lot as the Dance keeps getting uglier.
Main Cast:
Emma D’Arcy as Rhaenyra Targaryen
Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen
Olivia Cooke as Alicent Hightower
Steve Toussaint as Corlys Velaryon
Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower
Ewan Mitchell as Aemond Targaryen

July 03, 2026 Episode 524 – Netflix Broke the Avatar, Sony Broke the Shelf
Netflix rewrites beloved characters, Sony walks away from physical media, Westeros delivers, and DC Studios stumbles out of the gate again.
This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl discuss Netflix’s handling of Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2 and why disrespecting beloved characters is becoming one of streaming’s biggest problems. They also break down Sony’s latest PlayStation decisions and what they mean for the future of physical media and game ownership.
Then it’s back to Westeros for House of the Dragon Season 3 Episode 2 before wrapping things up with their review of Supergirl (2026) and whether DC Studios has another winner on its hands.

PlayStation Announces the End of Physical Media
Announcement Date: July 1, 2026
Effective Date: January 2028
Company: Sony Interactive Entertainment
Summary:
Sony announced that beginning in January 2028, all new PlayStation games will be released digitally only, ending production of physical Blu-ray game discs for future releases. Games already released—or scheduled for release before the 2028 cutoff—will continue to be sold on disc, but every new title afterward will require a digital download through the PlayStation Store or participating retailers. Sony says the decision reflects changing consumer habits, noting that digital purchases now account for roughly 80% of full-game sales on PlayStation.
Key Details:
– Physical discs for new PlayStation releases end in January 2028.
– Existing disc-based games will continue to work and remain available while supplies last.
– Retailers will transition to selling digital download codes instead of boxed games.
– Sony says the move follows overwhelming consumer preference for digital purchases.
Why It Matters:
– Gamers lose the ability to buy, sell, trade, or lend future PlayStation games.
– Collectors will no longer have physical editions for new releases.
– Consumers become increasingly tied to Sony’s digital storefront and licensing model.
– Preservation advocates worry that future games could become inaccessible if licensing changes or digital storefronts eventually close.
– Digital-only distribution gives publishers greater pricing control by reducing competition from the used-game market.
Discussion Points:
– Do you really own a digital game, or are you simply purchasing a revocable license?
– What happens to game preservation when no physical copy exists?
– Will digital-only distribution lead to higher prices due to reduced retail competition?
– Is convenience worth giving up ownership rights?
– Does this set the stage for the PlayStation 6 to become a fully digital platform? Industry analysts increasingly believe so.
Infamous Take:
While digital downloads are undeniably convenient, this announcement marks the end of an era. Physical media has always given players tangible ownership, resale value, and long-term access independent of corporate licensing agreements. Sony’s decision may make business sense, but it also shifts even more control away from consumers and toward platform holders; a trend that extends far beyond gaming.
Avatar: The Last Airbender (Netflix)
Season: 2
Platform: Netflix
Summary:
Brian and Darryl discuss Netflix’s continued adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender and why they believe the series is losing sight of what made the original so beloved. The conversation focuses on major character changes, the difference between adaptation and rewriting, and why respecting the heart of the source material matters just as much as updating it for a modern audience.

Slowly sinking into the sea filled with arrows
This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl are talking toys, traps, webs, and dragons.

Runtime: 102 minutes
Director: Andrew Stanton
Co-Director: Kenna Harris
Writers: Andrew Stanton and Kenna Harris
Story By: Andrew Stanton
Studio: Pixar Animation Studios
Distributor: Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures
Summary:
The toys are back, but this time playtime has a new enemy: technology. Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the rest of the gang find themselves challenged by Lilypad, a frog-themed smart tablet that pulls Bonnie’s attention away from the toys and forces them to confront whether old-school imagination can survive in a screen-first world. Darryl gives the quick two-minute recap, but the big question is simple: does Pixar still have the emotional pull, or is this franchise finally running on low battery?

Tom Hanks as Woody
Tim Allen as Buzz Lightyear

Greta Lee as Lilypad
Conan O’Brien as Smarty Pants
Tony Hale
Craig Robinson

Production Notes:
Toy Story 5 is directed by longtime Pixar veteran Andrew Stanton, co-directed by Kenna Harris, and scored by Randy Newman, returning to the franchise for his fifth Toy Story feature. The film’s big hook is “Toy meets Tech,” using a tablet character as the new threat to traditional play.

This time, she is pulled into a larger and even more dangerous power structure, with her estranged sister Faith dragged into the chaos beside her.

Production Notes:
Ready or Not 2: Here I Come reunites directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett with writers Guy Busick and R. Christopher Murphy, expanding the original film’s class-war horror-comedy into a bigger, bloodier mythology of wealthy families, ritual games, and supernatural power.

Ralph and Piggy try to build order, rules, and rescue plans, while Jack’s need for power and violence slowly turns the group into rival camps. The series tracks the collapse through four character-focused episodes: Piggy brings the boys together, Jack embraces the hunt, Simon becomes the tragic victim of the island’s growing hysteria, and Ralph watches the last pieces of civilization burn down around him. By the end, Piggy and Simon are dead, Ralph is hunted, and rescue arrives only after the boys have already proven that the real monster was never hiding in the jungle.

Dryden Vos enters the picture with an offer Maul absolutely cannot ignore: safe passage off Janix in exchange for Maul taking the reins of Crimson Dawn. Meanwhile, Maul reaches out to Devon through their Force connection, drawing her and the rest of the group into a desperate alliance. Lawson suggests a dangerous underground route out of the city, but the escape turns into a nightmare when the group has to cross a toxic river while the Inquisitors close in.

Air date: May 4, 2026
Director: Nathaniel Villanueva
Writer: Matt Michnovetz & Brad Rau
Summary:
The season finale throws Maul, Devon, Daki, the Lawsons, and the rest of the survivors straight into Vader’s shadow. Maul and the Jedi fight Vader and the Inquisitors while the others try to reach Dryden Vos’s ship through a wall of Imperial troops. Daki gets a brief victory over Marrok, but Vader kills him after Maul chooses self-preservation over loyalty. Devon’s grief and rage push her closer to Maul, who promises to train her for revenge. Lawson sacrifices himself so Rylee, Two-Boots, and Vario can escape, and by the time Vos’s ship leaves Janix, Devon agrees to become Maul’s apprentice. Good news: they escaped. Bad news: the emotional damage is now fully weaponized.

Director: Nathaniel Villanueva
Writer: Julia Cooperman
Summary:
Maul brings Devon and Rylee to his hideout as the Empire closes in, but Devon refuses to follow him and tries to get Rylee away. Things go sideways fast when Imperial forces capture Rylee, forcing Devon back toward Lawson and Daki. Meanwhile, Maul’s attempt to escape Janix collapses into a brutal fight with Marrok and the Eleventh Brother, leaving his followers scattered, his ship destroyed, and his already damaged leg becoming a very real problem.

Air date: April 27, 2026
Director: Saul Ruiz
Writer: Jennifer Corbett
Summary:
With Maul separated from his crew and physically breaking down, the episode digs into his past through hallucinations of Sidious, Savage Opress, and the trauma that shaped him into the walking red flag he is today. Two-Boots finally gets his moral compass rebooted after learning what the Empire really did to Klyce, helping Rylee escape before the group walks into yet another trap. Sul sacrifices herself to stop Blake, and Maul’s surviving crew regroups just in time for a message from Dryden Vos, because apparently the galaxy’s criminal LinkedIn is still very active.

Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, Season 2, Episode 9
Title: Ends of the Earth
Air date: April 24, 2026
Director: Lawrence Trilling
Writer: Tanner Hansinger
Summary:
Outpost 18 tracks Godzilla and Titan X toward Skull Island, where Godzilla backs off and Isabel reveals the full flavor of her Apex-branded madness. Her plan is not just about Axis Mundi. It is about using Titan X, its egg, and Skull Island itself as pieces on a very expensive monster chessboard. Meanwhile, Tim, Shaw, Keiko, May, and Monarch forces follow Titan X onto the island, Shaw and Keiko get separated, Cate escapes, and Kentaro drops the emotional trap card by claiming they can save Hiroshi. In the 1958 storyline, Keiko and Bill marry, while Bill’s later obsession with rifts shows how this family has been getting emotionally nuked by monster science for decades.

Director: Iain B. MacDonald
Writer: Heather Bellson
Summary:
Karen Page finally gets her day in court, and Matt comes out of hiding to help defend her alongside Kirsten McDuffie. The trial puts the AVTF under pressure, but Fisk’s machine responds the only way it knows how: violence, intimidation, and ugly backroom damage control. Jessica Jones confronts Mr. Charles and learns Luke Cage is working overseas with the CIA, while Dex interrupts an assassination attempt on Governor McCaffrey. The emotional gut punch lands with Daniel Blake, who nearly gives BB Urich up to Cashman before finding his spine at the worst possible time. He lets her escape, refuses to reveal her location, and pays for it with his life.
