Buckle up, folks—Chris and Taylor are taking you on a wild ride through the multiverse of movies, comics, and theme park madness in this jam-packed episode! We discuss the possibility Daniel Day-Lewis as Magneto? The most method actor of all time stepping into the master of magnetism's boots? What would that even look like, and could the MCU handle the intensity? One of our favorite films, Jaws Turns 50—and to celebrate, they’ve cooked up a side-splitting parody featuring none other than the salty sea captain himself, Quint. Get ready for some deep-sea hilarity. Batman & Deadpool team up? A comic crossover so chaotic that reality itself might split in two. Les Grossman: The Movie?! Tom Cruise playing an exaggerated version of… well, himself? Epic Universe opens at Universal Studios—the massive new theme park is finally happening

Fatherhood updates—life isn’t all blockbusters and crossovers. They check in on the highs, lows, and “what were we thinking?” moments of raising tiny humans.

Plus, they break down their anticipated picks for Sinners, Andor Season 2, The Last of Us Season 2, and Thunderbolts—which ones will live up to the hype, and which ones might just surprise us all?
