The Newplex Podcast

This week we're talking the fallout from Jake Paul vs Ben Askren, the weird-ass 'throwback' WWE SmackDown, and AEW's second botched ending. Also: Star Wars Bad Batch, Titans season 3, and Jupiter's Legacy. Plus, this week's Nerdlines.

Charlie's got a new cat and Jads is not a fan. Ew. Also, with Falcon and the Winter Soldier finished on Disney+, the gang review Marvel's second MCU series: favourite moments, coolest characters, and hopes for the future of the series. Plus: Secret Invasion, concerns for the MCU's Spider-Man, and this week's Nerdlines.

Spoilers ahead for FATWS episode 4! In this 'lively' episode of the Newplex Pod, the gang discuss (for some reason) bounty hunters (again), and do a deep dive into the first four episodes of Marvel's Falcon and the Winter Soldier. Plus: some hot takes at Disney, and we find out if Jads is a BBC boy. Also, this week's Nerdlines.

This is it guys. After 4 years of Jads having some variety of DC rant every single episode, the end is finally here. With the release of Zack Snyder's 4-hour epic version of Justice League, the era of Jads rants comes to an end. But after all the hype, did the team enjoy the film? Also this week: getting bullied by teachers in primary school, and bullying dinner ladies in primary school.

This week we try and get into the mind of a denim-clad Christopher Nolan and wonder what his vision was for Batman and ask, regardless of the amount of denim, were these films ever really 'grounded', as proponents claim. Plus, we nerd out over WandaVision and ask: will this show have a happy ending?

Welcome back to the Chillcast, where this week low-energy Jads and the gang are sharing their favourite moments from WandaVision so far & looking forward to where this crazy train is stopping next. Plus, this week's super-releaxed version of the Nerdlines. Episode best enjoyed with a glass of wine, if you're so inclined.

Creator of the full cast audio drama adaptation 'Doctor Who: Dark Dimension', Billy Garratt-John joins The Newplex to go over all your latest entertainment happenings. We're talking Undertaker's disastrous appearance on Joe Rogan, Joe Rogan's show more generally, Joe Rogan as a concept, and Joe Rogan Josh as a curry. Then we're into all things Dark Dimension as Billy shares how this awesome project came to be. Plus, this week's Nerdlines.

Happy New Year! We're back after our Xmas hols and we've got lots to catch up on. Why does Tenet sound so shit? Did you even know Wonder Woman 1984 was out in the UK? What's happening with Ray Fisher's Cyborg in DC's Flashpoint? Plus mini reviews of Cyberpunk, Mando, and more. Also, Jads tells us he's over the DCEU - do we believe him?

Strap yourselves in. There are a lot of headlines to get through, and a little over an hour to do it in. Jads must try his absolute best not to go on tangents, and JOPO and Charles are on hand to provide the quickfire reactions. Ok. Deep breath, here we go...

Let me level with you: It's been a slow news week in the nerd culture world, and we were worried we'd have nothing to talk about in this ep - so we decided to wing it. In the event, we had *so* much to talk about it took us 20 mins to get onto the Nerdlines... So this week we're talking the CW/Arrowverse of DC TV shows, James Gunn & John Cena's upcoming Peacemaker show, Disney making R-rated content, Undertaker's retirement, and Jake Paul's latest boxing controversy.
