The Witcher 4 trailer drops with Liam Hemsworth as Geralt, Tron: Ares flops below Morbius at the box office, and Baker Mayfield’s MVP run heats up — plus Invincible S4, X-Men 97, and NFL Week 7 bets.

From Grogg’s Irish Pub, the Taps & Takes crew dives into the week’s biggest nerd and sports stories with chaos, humor, and unfiltered hot takes.

They react to Netflix’s Witcher Season 4 trailer, debate whether Liam Hemsworth can replace Henry Cavill, and unpack Cavill’s growing universe with the upcoming Warhammer 40K series and Highlander reboot.

Then the guys hit the latest Invincible Season 4 teaser (early 2026), the Tron: Ares box-office crash, and Hollywood’s obsession with live-action anime — from Akira and Demon Slayer to My Hero Academia.

They ask which directors could finally make anime work in live action.

Next up: MCU Wonder Man, X-Men 97 Season 2, and James Gunn’s DC Universe, before shifting into sports mode — Baker Mayfield’s MVP odds, NFL Week 7 blind bets, Chiefs vs Bills, Panthers talk, and whether the Eagles and Bills are officially broken.

Plus the Contender or Pretender game, fantasy football recap, and power rankings.
