Drew Hyatt and Edward Raus are back at Grogg’s Studio for Season 2, Episode 14 of The Do-Over Podcast’s Taps & Takes, breaking down the week’s biggest nerd news, movie rumors, gaming adaptations, and sports stories.

Taps & Takes is the side series where The Do-Over Podcast gets into pop culture, sports, comic book movies, video games, and whatever debate takes over the table. This episode starts with Marvel’s CinemaCon push for Avengers: Doomsday, the unreleased trailer, Doctor Doom hype, Chris Evans returning, the possible Endgame rerelease, and why Marvel still has work to do to win fans back.

From there, Drew and Edward get into Wolverine’s future in the MCU, X-Men casting concerns, race-swapping debates around legacy characters, The Batman Part II, Ryan Reynolds working on a Deadpool script, Sydney Sweeney’s Gundam movie, Spider-Verse spinoffs, Midnight Suns, Mandalorian and Grogu, Highlander, leaked Legend of Zelda movie concept art, Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat 2, and A24’s Elden Ring movie from Alex Garland.

The back half shifts into sports with NBA and NHL playoff pacing, WrestleMania reactions, CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns, the NFL Draft, weak quarterback and receiver classes, rookie contracts, NIL money, Arch Manning, Dante Moore, and which teams could be setting up for next year.
