The Newplex Podcast

We've returned to lockdown, so this week the pod is being recorded from home (just like old times). Please forgive the sound of creaky doors, ice cream vans, or the industrial woodcutter as we navigate our new setup - but the takes are hot and the memes are hotter, don't you worry. This week: who will replace (if anyone) Johnny Depp as Grindelwald? Are we loving Spider Man: Miles Morales? And will we ever bag that elusive, special sponsor... Plus, the Nerdlines.

On this week's pod, we're catching up on the good stuff on TV: Strictly Come Dancing returns and Jads reviews Sex Education series 2. Also this week, we pose the following questions: Should Jads get a tattoo? Is Tom Holland right for the Uncharted movie? Is John Cena as much of a nightmare as Total Bellas makes him seem? And what has been going on in the world of pro wrestling? Plus, the latest nerdlines.

What a difference a chair can make. In the never-ending saga of finding covid-safe spaces to record in, we find ourselves in some very comfortable, reclining chairs this week which leads to a very chilled out conversation. This episode, we're asking if it's fair to blame Bond's delay to 2021 for Cineworld shuttering their business. Also, more on Marvel's WandaVision series and it's links to Spider-Man 3 (which has just added Doctor Strange to its cast). Plus, we sip the tea on the Sony/Marvel Spidey dispute & this week's nerdlines.

Episode 67?! Can you believe it? In this week's show, we're talking how entertainment is coping with corona, including WWE's Thunderdome, Dana (or Darna)'s UFC fight island, and Disney+ releasing Mulan straight to premium streaming. Plus we have a quick review of Tom Holland's new Netflix film The Devil All the Time, and we react to Marvel's new Wandavision trailer. Plus this week's Nerdlines.

After six long months, The Newplex Podcast is finally back! Jads, JOPO, and Charles return for a (socially distanced) catch up and to look at the biggest news from the summer, including everything from DC Fandome: The Synder cut of Justice League(!!!), Ben Affleck back as Batman, Micheal Keaton back as Batman, and two new DC video games. Also, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, and New Mutants.

Hello! Well, things have... changed since our lest episode. Although we're unable to get into the studio at the moment, JOPO, Jads, and Conor have recorded some hot takes for you to enjoy in the meantime in this special Coronacast episode of the Newplex Podcast. We're talking WrestleMania 36 (which happened for reasons), how to get started in D&D, and we have the latest movie news. Remember send your comments in - and keep safe!

What do you get when you take a hefty portion of the Newplex team and drop them in an isolated cottage in the middle of nowehere? Why a weekend of memes and mems of course! Jads, JOPO, Charles, and Joe recount tales from the first ever Plex-Con, including reviews of the movies watched including Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Batman Beyond, and the cult classic: Troll 2! Plus this week's nerdlines, and will coronavirus impact this year's summer blockbuster season?

The Academy has complained again this year that viewership is down for the televised Oscars ceremony, but in a Newplex office full of film fans, not one us tuned in... But why not, surely it's the highlight of any film buff's calendar? This week we wonder how the Oscars could go about winning an audience. Also, we answer the burning question: is Matt Reeve's new Batman film (starring Robert Pattinson) part of the DC Cinematic Universe alongside Harley Quinn and Shazam?

SPOILERS! In this week's very NSFW Newplex Podcast, the gang open by reading some listener mail including the cringiest homemade erotica ever. Then it's onto chat around the latest DC movie, Birds of Prey, starring Margot Robbie returning as Harley Quinn. How does the latest offering in the troubled Worlds of DC cinematic universe compare, and does it give us any hope for the upcoming Batman movie, or other Gotham-centric DC movies?

The pre-filled text in this box is telling me "hook [your] listeners in with a great description of the episode", but I'm not sure if there any words in the limited English lexicon that would allow me to sufficiently communicate the cornucopia of calamity that is this, the first Newplex Podcast episode of 2020. What is the difference between Netflix TV and 'real' TV, what are Jads' New Years resolutions, and what did we think of Rey and Kylo Ren's on-screen frenching are all things that you *can* find out, however, in this week's show.
