In this episode, Ben and Mick wade through the gross and baffling phenomenon of Snapeism, a bizarre internet cult where fans believe that the fictional character Severus Snape is a spiritual entity guiding their lives. They also discuss the first trailer for Francis Ford Coppola's "Megalopolis," exploring its ambitious (by which we mean mental) themes and mixed reception. We also react to the teaser trailer no one asked for with "Rings of Power" Season 2, reflecting on its potential and the challenges it faces. Additionally, they examine Netflix's upcoming "Ultraman" adaptation, the season finale of "X-Men 97," and the new HBO Max series "Dune: Prophecy." Amid their lively banter, they revisit memorable moments from "X-Men 97," speculate on its future direction with Age of Apocalypse, and share insights on how fans connect with fictional worlds. The episode ends with a quirky discussion about a strange find in a comic book store, adding their usual humorous touch.
