We're back — maybe getting a little too scheduled — with one opinion on the docket: West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox, where the Court held that states may limit girls' and women's sports teams to biological sex without violation Equal Protection or Title IX. First, though, Will collects on a two-year-old prediction when the Court grants Jouppi v. Alaska, an Institute for Justice case about a five-figure airplane forfeited over a six-pack of beer. On the main event, we work through how the opinions are written (no pronouns, no "Lindsay"), what the litigants' Title IX concession did to the case, and whether there is any such thing as an as-applied equal protection challenge. Will makes a big-swing prediction about transgender status and heightened scrutiny, and we ask whether the Court's reasoning can be squared with VMI and the anti-stereotyping cases. Along the way: fencepost problems, Magneto's powers, Magic: The Gathering's crossover-IP wars, scrawny men, and Justice Kavanaugh's ode to the championship trophy.Highlights[00:00:21] Opening: continuing the roll, "starting to get a little scheduled," and record-setting season ambitions[00:02:05] Summer interim-docket check-in: a new SG filing on mail-in voting; still no rehearing petition in the birthright-citizenship case[00:03:23] Filing-day counting and the classic fencepost problem[00:04:50] Will doesn't condone violence, Dan; UFC, violent video games, and Dungeons & Dragons[00:07:46] The prediction workflow pays off: Will called the IJ excessive-fines cert push back in May 2024 (Culley)[00:08:05] Cert granted in Jouppi v.

Sebastian Shaw is DEAD! Who did it? Let's review X-Men Hellfire Mystery! 

It's time for Polaris to shine like a green sun in the afternoon sky!! Wow, do we ever get a good look at who she is and what she is capable of, and it's fantastically awesome! We see Xavier struggling with his grief over the loss of Magnus, his best friend, and is using the danger room to help him work through it. But the danger room starts thinking on it's own, and seeing the constant failures, decides it needs to make things more difficult so the X-Men can survive in today's world of mutant haters. That self awareness and thought brings it to sentient life and it escapes the danger room in it's new cyborg like body! Proving to be a bit more than the team can handle, Xavier powers up Polaris with memories of how her father, Magneto, could control his strength, and that allows her to unleash her full power, stopping Danger...for now... It's an episode full of emotion, action, and tearful reunions, and a green star rejoining the team!

What if your horse is responding less to what you say and more to who you are being?In this thoughtful conversation, I sit down with Julia Carpenter, founder of The Two Step Way, to explore what becomes possible when we slow down enough to truly see the being in front of us.Julia shares how horses reflect our nervous systems, why presence matters more than performance, and how healing often begins not with fixing, but with noticing. We talk about somatic healing, trauma stored in the body, the relationship between science and spirituality, and the quiet intelligence animals offer when we create enough space to listen.This conversation moved far beyond horsemanship. It became an invitation to reconnect with ourselves, soften our need to control, and remember that wonder still belongs in our lives.We also explore: What “See the Being™” really meansHow horses read our nervous systemsTrauma, freeze states, and healing through safetyWhy slowing down can transform connectionThe overlap between science, intuition, and somatic awarenessHow technology may be disconnecting us from presenceJulia's powerful story of Magneto and the horse who changed her lifeIf you've ever felt like your horse was trying to tell you something… or like life itself keeps offering lessons you're meant to notice… this episode is for you.Connect with Julia:Website: https://twostepway.com/Website: https://www.consideringanimals.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/julia.carpenter.12If this episode speaks to you, share it with a friend and tell us: Who has been your wise horse?Adventure on!Send us Fan Mail Support the show✨ Join the Spiritual Horse Seeker Summit

Corporate confusion, multiversal panic, Gotham body horror, dragon-fueled paranoia, and one very expensive boat trip. This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl unpack the Paramount-Warner Bros. regulatory whiplash, judge the new Avengers: Doomsday and Clayface trailers, survive another cheerful hour in Westeros, and set sail with Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Doomsday Trailer: 12:19 WBD/Paramount News: 20:40 Clayface Trailer: 28:54 House of the Dragon Season 3, Episode 5: 36:45 X-Men ’97 Season 2, Episode 6: 50:20 The Odyssey: 60:00:30 Paramount-Warner Bros. Merger Paused as States' Challenge Proceeds A federal judge has granted a bid from a coalition of 12 states to temporarily stop Paramount from closing its $111 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery. U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín on Monday issued a temporary restraining order after the states sued last week. The emergency motion sought to prevent the studio from moving ahead with the merger for 14 days. “The Court ultimately finds the public interest favors their requested TRO to stay the merger in the interim,” Martínez-Olguín wrote in the order. https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/paramount-warner-bros-merger-paused-states-challenge-1236651179/ Avengers: Doomsday | Official Trailer | In Theaters December 18 In Avengers: Doomsday, universes collide as the Multiverse Saga enters its final chapter. The Avengers, New Avengers, Fantastic Four, and X-Men converge across realities to face Doctor Doom, an existential threat. The film sets the stage for a universe-shattering conflict that paves the way for Avengers: Secret Wars. Clayface | Official Trailer Clayface, explores Hagen's psychological descent from a tragic victim into a revenge-filled monster, delving into themes of lost identity, corrosive love, and the dark side of scientific ambition. While originally pitched as a standalone horror film, it is now framed as the story of a disfigured victim driven by obsession rather than a traditional villain origin. The movie is scheduled for release in theaters on October 23, 2026. House of the Dragon (HBO Max) House of the Dragon, Season 3, Episode 5 Title: Unbowed and Unbent Air date: July 19, 2026 Director: Nina Lopez-Corrado Writer: Philippa Goslett Summary: As the hunt for Aemond and Vhagar continues, Rhaenyra's grip on King's Landing grows shakier and Daemon tries to contain a campaign of increasingly gruesome violence. Alicent and Helaena search for a way out of the city, Alys Rivers tightens her hold over a recovering Aemond, and Ormund begins positioning Daeron as a rival king. Meanwhile, Criston Cole marches toward what looks increasingly like an elaborate suicide-by-Riverlander, while a bloody “feast for traitors” makes it clear that Team Black has enemies hiding everywhere. Rating Out of 5, That’s One Hell of a Last Super Art Installation Brian: 3.68/5 Darryl: 3.4/5 X-Men '97 (Disney+) X-Men '97, Season 2, Episode 6 Title: Danger.exe Air date: July 22, 2026 Director: Emmett Yonemura Writers: Beau DeMayo, Mariah Wilson, and Bailey Moore Summary: Polaris returns to Xavier's mansion just as the Danger Room develops a mind—and several grudges—of its own. Xavier's unhealthy habit of repeatedly simulating Magneto's death helps transform the training system into a very real threat, forcing the mutants to confront what their home has become. Meanwhile, Xavier launches X-Corp as the team's new public-facing operation, while Apocalypse completes a resurrection that turns an old friend into something much more dangerous. Because apparently grief counseling was never an option. Rating Out of 5, You’re in the Dangerzone… err… Room Now Charles Brian: 4.33/5 Darryl: 4/5 The Odyssey (2026) Release Date: July 17, 2026 Runtime: 172 minutes Director: Christopher Nolan Writer: Christopher Nolan Based On: The Odyssey by Homer Studios: Universal Pictures, Syncopy, and Woodsted Picture Company Distributor: Universal Pictures Summary: After the fall of Troy, Odysseus, king of Ithaca, begins a brutal voyage home to his wife Penelope and son Telemachus. His journey becomes a years-long battle against monsters, gods, temptation, grief, and his own worst instincts, while the family he left behind struggles against the suitors consuming his kingdom. Christopher Nolan turns Homer's foundational epic into a massive, brooding survival story about war, memory, loyalty, and the consequences of being the cleverest man in every room. Main Cast: Matt Damon as Odysseus Tom Holland as Telemachus Anne Hathaway as Penelope Robert Pattinson as Antinous Lupita Nyong'o as Helen of Troy and Clytemnestra Zendaya as Athena Charlize Theron as Calypso Samantha Morton as Circe Jon Bernthal as Menelaus Benny Safdie as Agamemnon John Leguizamo as Eumaeus Himesh Patel as Eurylochus Ellen Page as Sinon Mia Goth as Melantho Production Notes: The Odyssey reunites Christopher Nolan with producer Emma Thomas and the Syncopy team behind Oppenheimer. Nolan wrote, directed, and produced the film, which was shot around the world and became the first feature photographed entirely with IMAX film cameras. The production built much of its ancient world practically and mounted a full-scale, globe-spanning shoot designed to make Odysseus' voyage feel physical, dangerous, and appropriately enormous.

Send us Fan MailWelcome back to DMR!As we break down the first official trailer for The Avengers: Doomsday!The trailer explodes with multiversal energy, pulling listeners into a collision of three iconic worlds—Avengers, X‑Men, and the Fantastic Four. Doctor Doom stands at the center of the chaos, radiating a level of power that instantly reframes the stakes. His confrontation with Thor, stopping Stormbreaker mid‑strike, signals that this isn't just another villain rising—it's a seismic shift in the MCU's hierarchy. The trailer leans heavily into tension, showcasing collapsing realities, returning legends, and the emotional weight of heroes facing a threat that eclipses anything they've known.What makes the trailer truly electrifying is its sense of scale and inevitability. The incursions between universes feel catastrophic, pushing characters into alliances and conflicts that fans have dreamed about for years. Seeing Steve Rogers, Loki, Professor X, and Magneto woven into the same narrative hints at a story built on legacy, consequence, and impossible choices. As Doom warns of an “unthinkable decision,” the trailer positions Doomsday as a defining chapter—one that promises not just spectacle, but a reckoning across the multiverse.Dont forget your 30 Day Free Audible Trial - Link in the show!Enjoy DMRSupport the showThe audio/video clips used in this podcast, including excerpts from movie/series/documentary trailers, are used under the principles of fair use and fair dealing for the purpose of criticism, commentary, and review.

Marvel Studios finally gave us something to whet our appetites regarding Avengers: Doomsday as they dropped the first full-length trailer on Monday. Old and new favorite heroes are coming together to band against the biggest threat they've ever encountered, Doctor Victor Von Doom.Christopher Nolan's highly-anticipated film The Odyssey premiered last weekend to a box office best for the savant director, opening to $264.1 million globally. With a stacked A-list cast, Nolan's flair and drive for practical filmmaking, and a huge push to see the movie in IMAX (since it was filmed that way,) this entry to Nolan's repertoire has been as long-awaited as Odysseus' return to Ithaca. And clearly…the people are liking what they see. For 2026, The Odyssey has the third best opening weekend behind Toy Story 5 and The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.Matt Reeves' The Batman Part II is being delayed once again and will now open in theaters on February 18, 2028. That release date is nearly six years after the March 2022 opening of The Batman. Reeves announced the new opening date on Vimeo accompanied by the first camera test footage of Robert Pattinson's return as the Dark Knight. Pattinson began filming during the press tour for The Odyssey, which he was also part of. At an appearance at Fanatics Fest 2026, Ryan Reynolds confirmed that there will be another Deadpool movie at some point in the future, although he did not provide any more details past that confirmation. After calling New York City home for almost 90 years, Marvel Comics will be relocating to Burbank, California, the current headquarters of Marvel Studios and corporate parent, The Walt Disney Company. Stephen Wacker, a respected veteran comics editor who also earned an Emmy nomination for his work in the company's forays in animation, has been named Marvel's new editor-in-chief, replacing outgoing chief C.B. Cebulski, who had steered the division since 2017. The move also leaves NYC without a major comics publisher, as DC Comics relocated to California in 2015. Amazon Prime Video‘s God of War series will recast the starring role of Kratos following an injury to the original actor Ryan Hurst on set that he suffered in late June. While performing a stunt, Hurst tore his bicep and had to undergo surgery. His recovery timetable puts him out until early 2027 at best. Sources tell Deadline that four episodes had been fully completed at the time of the incident. Colman Domingo and Tony-nominated director Robert O'Hara are in talks to co-write a live action film based on Princess Tiana from The Princess and the Frog for Disney. It is not described as a live-action remake of The Princess and the Frog, but rather a story inspired by the original film. In an interview with the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Kevin Feige spoke on the Mahershala Ali Blade reboot that has yet to materialize saying "I am feeling like a gigantic loser and failure that we didn't get off the ground with Mahershala." He was also asked about Adam Driver as Magneto rumors and responded “It's no secret we'd like to [work with Driver], but it's a tradition to Zoom with him, and then he passes. That's a long-lived tradition."

He's the best there is at what he does and what he does is stoically scold people while blasting people with his concussive eye beams! Cyclops is often portrayed in cartoons and movies as a big ol' dork and fuddy duddy rules follower but the guy has been through a lot in the comics and has a lot of emotional depth. Mike takes Jake and Holden through the history and this X-man's evolution as creators take him from a mopey loner to a strategic genius to an all powerful mutant zealot that even scares Magneto. And yeah, maybe he's not the coolest. But really, that's what makes him cool.

X-Men '97 is back... and somehow Season 2 might already be even better than the incredible first season! After one of the greatest superhero TV seasons ever made, Marvel Studios had enormous expectations to meet. Through the first four episodes of X-Men '97 Season 2, we think they're off to an outstanding start. In this episode of SuperHero Homies, we break down Episodes 1-4 of X-Men '97 Season 2, discussing the incredible action, shocking story developments, Apocalypse's rise, Cable's emotional journey, Magneto's biggest moments, and what we think is coming in the rest of the season. COLD OPEN (First 30 Minutes) Before discussing X-Men '97, we cover some of the biggest stories in superhero movies and pop culture: • Is The Flash really as bad as Madame Web? • Rumored characters appearing in the upcoming Superman sequel, Man of Tomorrow (Justice Gang, John Stewart, Blue Beetle, Peacemaker, and Martian Manhunter & more!) • The Batman Part II delayed once again until February 2028 • Could James Gunn leave DC Studios after Paramount's reported acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery? • Why Clayface could become the sleeper hit of the DC Universe • Can The Odyssey or Spider-Man: Brand New Day become the next billion-dollar blockbuster? FULL SPOILER DISCUSSION After the news, we jump into a full spoiler breakdown of X-Men '97 Season 2 Episodes 1-4. We discuss: • The X-Men being divided across the past and future • En Sabah Nur's transformation into Apocalypse • Apocalypse vs. Magneto • The shocking ending to their battle • Nathan Summers (Cable) and his relationship with Scott Summers and Jean Grey • Apocalypse's Horsemen • X-Factor and X-Force in 1997 • Favorite characters and standout performances • The incredible animation • Fast-paced storytelling • Comic book inspirations and Easter eggs • Our predictions for the rest of Season 2 Marvel Studios continues to prove why X-Men '97 has become one of the best superhero animated series ever made. The emotional storytelling, stunning animation, incredible action sequences, and faithful adaptation of classic X-Men comics have us completely hooked. From Apocalypse's terrifying rise to Magneto's unforgettable moments, Cable's emotional family story, and the introduction of X-Factor and X-Force, these first four episodes are packed with everything we love about the X-Men. If the rest of the season maintains this level of quality, X-Men '97 Season 2 could surpass an already phenomenal first season. Whether you're a lifelong X-Men fan, a Marvel Comics reader, or someone discovering these characters for the first time, this review is packed with deep comic book discussions, theories, Easter eggs, and predictions for what's coming next.

Wolverine confronts the ghosts of Weapon X while Daeron steps into the fire at Tumbleton. This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl are digging into two episodes packed with old enemies, buried secrets, questionable alliances, and families that probably should have tried therapy.

Their mission quickly turns into a mutant horror story involving the Brood, Omega Red, mutated wildlife, and the lingering damage caused by Dr. Cornelius. As the team fights to survive, Morph discovers Logan has been hiding his true objective: finding a way to restore the adamantium Magneto ripped from his body. The episode blends Weapon X nostalgia, science-fiction horror, and Wolverine's habit of manipulating the people closest to him.

Daemon discovers that Rhaena is Sheepstealer's rider and returns with a lie designed to protect his daughter. Elsewhere, Aegon searches for Sunfyre, Aemond remains missing, and Alicent learns that Helaena is pregnant.

In this episode, we begin our weekly recaps of the second season of the hit Disney Plus original animated series from Marvel Studios titled X Men 97. We discuss whether dealing with multiple timelines in the first three episodes was too much for the start of the season, and we debate whether Magneto became too overconfident in the way he tried to manipulate Apocalypse.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
