The Newplex Podcast

This episode... got away from us. Sorry. Jads, JOPO, Charles, and Ben talk Alaskan Bush people, Dog the Bounty Hunter, Bruce Lee philosophy, and just *so* much shit. Enjoy!

On this week's episode of the Team Newplex Podcast, Jads, Charles, and JOPO go through each of the Phase 4 (and the few Phase 5) Marvel Cinematic Universe movies announced during last week's San Diego Comic Con panel, and give an "excitedness" rating for the upcoming films. Between Black Widow and Doctor Strange, Shang Chi and Thor - find out what the gang is and is not hyped for in the coming years of the MCU.

Things quickly decent into chaos as we welcome special guest Flynn Burden - pro wrestler and temporary compare extraordinaire - joins Jads, Charles, and JOPO for this week's episode of the Team Newplex Podcast. Flynn talks about his YouTube show and new podcast, Boyz in the Hood, as well as wrestling, his injury, and becoming an MC alongside his foxy companion Clarence. Plus Jads tries to talk about James Bond and fails miserably.

Jads and Charles are on deck to talk about the only thing that matters in the nerdyverse this week, Spider-Man: Far From Home! The fellas review the latest MCU movie, which is the last of Phase 3, sharing their favourite moments, breaking down the story, and pondering where Spidey and Marvel are going next. Be warned, there are major SPOILERS in the second half of this episode of the Team Newplex Podcast!

Jads, Charles, and JOPO demonstrate a shocking lack of basic history to open up this episode of the Team Newplex Podcast (sorry Ben). Also this week, are WWE producing their own competition's fan base? JOPO confesses a shameful love for a despicable movie star, Disney finds its Ariel for the Little Mermaid live action remake, and we ask the hard-hitting question: If you could replace all your food with sci-fi nutrition pills and never eat again, would you?

Jads, Charles, and Ben look at the lineup for this year's Glastonbury which takes us on a half-show-long tangent on all things music in this week's episode of the Team Newplex Podcast. In fact the only item on the agenda we do manage to cover is the news of Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman's appointments as heads of SmackDown and Raw respectively. Will it really shake up an ailing WWE product, or is it just another on-screen gimmick? Plus, Jads reviews Solo.

Men In Black: International and Rocketman get reviewed in this week's episode of the Team Newplex Podcast, Plus, Jads, JOPO, Charles, and Ben, discuss "corporate wokeness" in movies, Star Wars: Solo, and we make a first stab at recasting Wolverine for the MCU.

Well, as promised the gang went to see X-Men: Dark Phoenix this week and - actually - it wasn't half bad. Jads, JOPO, and Charles bring you their spoiler-filled review, and try to explain how the last of Fox's X-Men movies fits into all the other (mercifully, it doesn't). Plus we have all the latest gaming news from E3, and it's a very warm welcome back to our pal from across the pond, Ben!

Ah, the X-Men movie timeline. What is it? When is it? And how is it? These are the questions we won't even come close to answering in this episode of the Team Newplex Podcast, but JOPO seems to have a handle on it so let's just go along with that ahead of the new Dark Phoenix movie. Also this week, serial killer sons of Eastenders, Robert Battinson confirmed, and Jon Moxley makes his way to New Japan, and we chat the Django/Zorro Tarantino movie.

Jads and JOPO chat all things AEW Double or Nothing to open this episode of the Team Newplex Podcast. We're talking favourite matches, best moments, and doing everything in our power not to compare it to WWE (and failing miserably). After that, we wake up Charles to talk about Dark Phoenix - and how the ending was reshot - and we break down the complicated notion of the "social contract" (incorrectly).
