The fourth installment in Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios' Spider-Man series is finally here, and of course, we're all over it. Spider-Man: Brand New Day has swung into theaters as both a critical and box-office smash, raking in a billion dollars in just six days and boasting a 90% score on Rotten Tomatoes. On the pod, we nerd out over all the comic book goodness packed into the movie, including the cameos from Tarantula, Tombstone, and Ramrod. We also dig into the film's surprising lack of a true central villain, the controversial introduction of Jean Grey into the MCU, played by Sadie Sink (Stranger Things), and debate whether this is Tom Holland's most evolved performance yet as Peter Parker—and Spider-Man. Then we build a quick Spider-Man Hall of Fame before tackling the question on everyone's mind: Are movies back?
Today on The Treehouse Show, we've got a couple of Reddit relationship disasters that raise some serious questions about what your significant other really needs to know about your past.First, a woman thinks her boyfriend is probably going to leave her after she got drunk and admitted to a co-worker that she once got pregnant after hooking up with a guy on the bathroom floor of a club. Her boyfriend heard the confession, and now she's wondering if she just destroyed her relationship. Is he overreacting—or did she reveal something he has every right to care about?Then we've got a wife who's furious after finding out her husband slept with his sister. Before you call the police, there's a catch—and somehow we're actually siding with the husband on this one.Celebrity birthdays take us down another rabbit hole as we talk Robert Downey Jr., Tom Holland, Hollywood backend points, and how some actors can make an absolute fortune after a movie leaves theaters.Plus, Trey explains why he thinks the all-female fight scene in Avengers: Endgame was completely unnecessary, and somehow we wind up remembering the classic TV series Emergency!Reddit relationship drama, Marvel arguments, Hollywood money, and old-school television. Just another day in The Treehouse Show.About the show:Leave your worries outside and join Dan O'Malley, Trey Trenholm, and their hilarious guests for laughs about funny news and viral stories with ridiculous commentary inside the Treehouse Show.

But if we are talking about using your Wii Remote to aim a virtual gun, I have to give the award for best usage to Resident Evil 4 on the Wii and of course the Metroid Prime Trilogy. Shooting zombies or space pirates never felt so good!! But while all of these are some of the best of the best of the motion control era of gaming, my true favorite lies within a much more lesser known title found on the 3DS (and I think PS Vita) made by Drinkbox Studios. That game is Severed--a game about battling your way through a purgatory-like dreamworld full of demons that you slice and dice with a sword using your stylus! The game's main themes are dealing with trauma, revenge, and loss. And of course, it all ends with acceptance.

Episode 350 is packed with hilarious stories, passionate debates, and one hypothetical that will have you questioning how much your freedom is really worth.We kick things off with Luis recapping his trip to Mexico, where he reconnects with family, shares stories from a small-town ranch lifestyle, talks about drinking mezcal, and explains why everyone somehow ends up being related—or at least feels like family. It's a fun conversation filled with travel stories, cultural experiences, and plenty of laughs.From there, we dive into the world of Spider-Man and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, discussing whether someone who's never followed the MCU can still enjoy the latest Spider-Man movie. Is it worth jumping into the multiverse without doing hours of homework first? We share our thoughts and hear what the live audience has to say.Next, we react to a frustrating youth sports situation involving a canceled event and a controversial refund policy. After paying hundreds of dollars in advance, one parent only received a partial refund after the event was canceled, leading us to question transparency, fairness, and whether organizers should be handling situations like this differently.One of the biggest conversations of the episode centers around friendship, communication, and personal boundaries. We discuss what happens when someone repeatedly pushes a topic after they've clearly been told, "I don't want to talk about it." Is it just friendly curiosity? Entertainment? Or is it crossing a line? We explore the importance of respecting boundaries, reading social cues, and knowing when it's time to let a conversation go.Finally, we tackle one of our favorite hypothetical scenarios:You receive $45,000 every single week... but you can never leave your house.At first it sounds like the easiest money you'll ever make—but once you really think about it, things get complicated. Could you stay inside for a month? A year? Forever? Would the money outweigh the isolation, or would your mental health eventually win? We break down every angle and reveal how long we honestly think we'd last.This episode is full of laughs, honest conversations, listener interaction, and the random tangents you've come to expect from The After Show But Later. Whether you're here for the comedy, the thought-provoking discussions, or just hanging out with us each week, we're glad you're here.We want to hear from YOU!

Send us a Question!REBROADCAST MOVIE DISCUSSION: Melvin & Dan can only agree on one thing: Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is, in fact, a Marvel movie. To focus their attention, Melvin proposes four ambitions that he feels will make-or-break the film for audience members. (originally released November 16th, 2022)Topics:(PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 44-minutes discussing Kevin Conroy's passing, Video Rental store nostalgia, and media curation (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) Melvin liked that Black Panther: Wakanda Forever had a somewhat self-serious profile as opposed to the more flippant, light sensibilities of other Marvel fare. However, Melvin has four headers - ambitions - that he observed within Black Panther: Wakanda Forever that he felt prevented him from "buying in" to the fiction of the film but may actually be beneficial qualities to certain audience members. His first point covers the film's global stage for a political drama between potentially warring counties. His second point covers the personal character stories within the film. A brief aside from the points, Melvin and Daniel agree: the suits at the end of the movie aren't that good. Melvin's third point has to do with the film's metatextual pairing of T'Challa's fictional death and Chadwick Boseman's real-life death. Melvin's final point covers what he would consider inefficient pacing, such as scenes clearly setting up future movies, or scenes having only one purpose at a time rather than being dynamic in detail.

Kristian Harloff breaks down the biggest movie news stories of the day, led by major Avengers: Doomsday updates as advance ticket sales begin generating huge buzz. With Marvel Studios preparing for its next massive Avengers event, Kristian discusses the early pre-sale numbers, the latest comments from the Russo Brothers, and whether Avengers: Doomsday could become another record-breaking MCU blockbuster. Plus, new reports raise questions about Marvel Studios' highly anticipated X-Men reboot as Charles Melton may no longer be in the running to play Hank McCoy/Beast. What does this mean for Marvel's new X-Men cast, and could a major announcement still be coming soon?

Today's show is headlined by Avengers: Doomsday as anticipation continues to build for Marvel Studios' next massive crossover. Kristian looks at the early ticket sales and discusses whether the combination of Doctor Doom, the Avengers, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and returning MCU characters could push Doomsday toward historic box office numbers. We also dive into the constantly evolving X-Men casting rumors, the surprisingly strong early buzz surrounding The End of Oak Street, and the latest addition to Nintendo's highly anticipated Legend of Zelda adaptation.

In Episode 157, hosts Alyce and Laura are* worried about Olivia Coleman in the upcoming movie, Wicker. I mean… splinters… There are a lot of corrections. We're not sorry though, our Caravan of Corrections gives us content during slow news cycles Star Wars Visions: The Ninth Jedi series dropped all episodes on August 5. Have you watched? Tell us what you think! D23 is happening next weekend. There are a few panels we're hoping someone will livestream or livetwe-- uh, what is the Bluesky equivalent of livetweeting? A Welsh dub of Star Wars: A New Hope? FINALLY! Never stop never stopping making fun of the fact that the Ahsoka show had the balls to go 4 years in between seasons “Remember Furbies? I miss those little guys” -said no one ever. But Disney Parks won't let that stop them from breeding these unholy Furby-Ewok hybrids. Bae (aka Ewan McGregor) and Anne Hathaway are out here promoting their new non-Jurassic-Park dinosaur movie, but the real news is Bae still wants to do more Obi-Wan. The Mando movie won the week on Video on Demand, but that victory is equivalent to being the best shot in a platoon of stormtroopers. But this dude claiming to be the CEO of Disney says a win is a win. Starfighter keeps on Starfighting, this time in the MCU. “I can't wait to watch Robot Chicken at the Lucas Museum,” said someone who only kinda browsed this article. Still debating whether or not the new novel Star Wars: Legacy is for you? This article and excerpt may help you decide.

House of the Dragon Season 3 ended with Sunfyre back from the dead and Rhaenyra executing the High Septon inside his own sept, and Spider-Man: Brand New Day gave the MCU its darkest Jean Grey yet. Frank, Thomas, and Jonathan break down both, plus the Marvel Hall H panel from San Diego Comic-Con and why Ghost Rider got announced with nothing behind it. On the House of the Dragon side: the Episode 7 resurrection that flipped the board, Helaena's tapestry and what it was quietly spoiling all along, where the show splits from Fire and Blood on her death, why Rhaenyra was never built to sit on a throne in the first place, and a final score for the season from each of them. Then a full spoiler conversation on Spider-Man: Brand New Day covering Sadie Sink's Jean Grey and the road to Dark Phoenix, the Hulk and the Punisher as mirrors for where Peter Parker could end up, the ending that made a handshake hit harder than a kiss, and whether Marvel has its footing back going into Doomsday, Secret Wars, and X-Men. Network news and picks of the week close it out. 00:00 Intro: Three Weeks Off, Alaska, and Missing Comic-Con 03:11 San Diego Comic-Con and the Marvel Hall H Fallout 05:53 Project Hail Mary Is the Movie of the Year 07:02 House of the Dragon Season 3: Rhaenyra's Turn and the Finale 18:53 Sunfyre, Helaena's Tapestry, and Book vs Show Changes 25:02 Season 3 Final Thoughts and Scores 28:00 Spider-Man: Brand New Day Spoiler Talk 33:00 Sadie Sink's Jean Grey and the Road to Dark Phoenix 41:02 What It Means for the MCU: Doomsday, Secret Wars, and X-Men 50:16 Network News and Picks of the Week All news discussed comes from GeekFreaksPodcast.com.

Send it in. We read listener questions and topic suggestions on air. Key Takeaways Rhaenyra spent three seasons trying to be her father and the finale is the moment she stops. Frank frames it as her Anakin-to-Vader turn, right down to killing the realm's holy man and walking back out to claim she is the savior. Episode 7 and the return of Sunfyre lands as the season's biggest swing. Jonathan calls it a genuine plot twist with no setup, and it resets who is actually holding power going into Season 4. Helaena's knitting was spoiling the show in plain sight. Her tapestry lays out everything she has seen, and nobody in the story looks at it until it is too late. Both Frank and Jonathan score Season 3 an eight, with the caveat that Episodes 4 through 6 drag badly. Thomas, who bailed on the season early, gets talked into going back and finishing it. Spider-Man: Brand New Day works as a character study more than a clean three-act movie. The guys argue it is structurally strange on purpose, closer to picking up a random issue mid-run than a typical MCU installment. Jean Grey's power set is used in a much more specific and much darker way than expected, which the guys read as deliberate setup for Professor X's mental blocks and the eventual Dark Phoenix story. Quotes "She's now in her Darth Vader era." (Frank) "She was never meant to actually sit on the Iron Throne. She was always meant to capture it." (Frank) "The dragon fire ripping through a city is going to kill the good and the bad alike. It's not justice. It's just suffering." (Jonathan) "So many parts of this shouldn't work. But it does." (Thomas, on Spider-Man: Brand New Day) "I can't believe how much relief I suddenly felt from a damn handshake."

Is nerd culture in trouble? Because lately…it sure feels like it.In this episode of Eat Sleep Nerd, we're talking about the NERD-OCALYPSE — that strange feeling that seemingly everything we love about being a nerd is going through a rough patch at the exact same time.Physical video games are disappearing. PlayStation fans are worried about the future of physical media. The MCU doesn't seem to have the same excitement it once did. DC Studios and the DCU are facing plenty of questions after Supergirl. Doctor Who has an uncertain future. Star Trek has no projects on the horizon. Star Wars continues to divide its fanbase. And if you'd rather escape into PC gaming, building computers, or other tech hobbies…skyrocketing component prices aren't exactly helping.So…is it actually harder to be a nerd in 2026?We break down the current state of movies, television, gaming, physical media, PC hardware, and some of the biggest franchises in geek culture to figure out whether we're genuinely living through a nerd apocalypse — or if this is just another rough era before things inevitably get better.From Marvel, DC, Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, PlayStation, gaming, physical media, PC gaming, and more, there's a LOT to unpack.

It's one big FASHION MONTAGE! Peter tries and fails to adopt different superhero costumes and personas to hilarious effect. But on the dramatic side, Lonnie gets thrown into the deep end of a dangerous gang war with the Scorpions. Also, we talk Dr. Wittman being this show's J. Jonah Jameson, good ways to make MCU references, and a weird amount of conversation about the show Becker.

We break down the story, performances, action, new characters, and where Peter Parker's journey goes after everything that came before. Did Brand New Day deliver the Spider-Man movie we were hoping for? What worked, what didn't, and what could this mean for the future of Spider-Man in the MCU? We're talking favorite moments, surprises, and everything in between. Welcome to the League.

FIRST 54:00: Spoiler-Free Review with our See It/Skip It Verdict AFTER 54:00: Full Spoiler Review It's another edition of See It or Skip It and this time Ian is joined by JDG, Juleen and Hermes as they swing headfirst into Spider-Man: Brand New Day — Tom Holland's latest outing as Peter Parker and the beginning of a very different chapter for the MCU's resident wall-crawler. But can Spider-Man really have a brand new day after No Way Home changed everything? Ian, JDG, Juleen and Hermes suit up to explore whether this fresh start finally gives us the more grounded, street-level Peter Parker fans have been asking for — or if the wider MCU once again proves impossible to escape. Does Brand New Day make good on the emotional consequences of Peter being forgotten by everyone he loves? Is Tom Holland finally being allowed to stand on his own as Spider-Man, or does a supporting cast featuring Hulk and Punisher threaten to turn his movie into another Marvel crossover? The gang dig into Holland's performance, the new status quo, the villains, the action, and whether the film remembers that the best Spider-Man stories aren't really about saving the world — they're about Peter Parker desperately trying to hold his own life together. What should a Spider-Man film look like after multiverses, returning villains and three generations of Spider-Men? Can Marvel genuinely go smaller again, or has the franchise become too big to ever truly return to the neighbourhood? All this and more in this week's See It or Skip It review of Spider-Man: Brand New Day — and of course, Ian, JDG, Juleen and Hermes will let you know if you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.
On this episode of the podcast we're back with our full review of Spider-Man: Brand New Day! We're talking about Tom Holland's latest adventure as Peter Parker, the new direction for Spider-Man, the characters and villains, the action, the story, and whether Marvel has finally found the spark it needs to bring the MCU back to its former glory. But the biggest question is: Can Spider-Man actually save the MCU?We'll discuss what worked, what didn't, where Brand New Day ranks among the MCU's Spider-Man movies, and what this could mean for the future of Marvel.❯ Follow the Podcast Socials:https://linktr.ee/thenerdiestpodcast❯ Follow the Hosts:https://linktr.ee/nicwithnokhttps://linktr.ee/theglasstudios❯ Support the Show with Merch:https://thenerdiestpodcast.com❯ Become a YouTube Member:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbMxyCw1fpIT20SSj68J7vg/join❯ Become an Apple Podcasts Member:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-nerdiest-podcast/id1487374349?i=1000774926714====EPISODE CHAPTERS:0:00 Intro0:27 Weekly Recap10:29 Spoiler-Free Review15:56 Full Spoiler Review1:04:32 What's Next for Marvel?

Hi everyone! In today's episode we discuss Spider-Man Brand New Day on how this movie answered a super big question about the MCU and also how MJ and Ned may remember Peter. We also discuss what Spider-Man character you would be but also how much money Sadie Sink has made in her career!
Barry Irving returns to The Analysis to break down Spider-Man: Brand New Day and ask the big question: did Marvel actually deliver the definitive Tom Holland Spider-Man movie—or did the MCU get in its own way? Bob and Barry dig into Peter Parker's new life of loneliness and isolation, why the quieter street-level Spider-Man moments work better than the massive action sequences, and whether Brand New Day wastes its clean slate by turning into an X-Men setup halfway through. They debate Jean Grey's role as the film's antagonist, Jon Bernthal's Punisher, the return of Ned and MJ, Hulk's strange regression, Peter's darker turn, and why Spider-Man's actual rogues gallery continues to sit on the sidelines. Plus, Barry breaks down that mysterious post-credit scene and what it could mean for Doomsday, Secret Wars, Battleworld, and the possible return of all three live-action Spider-Men. Is Marvel finally building momentum again? Is superhero fatigue actually just mediocre-movie fatigue? And after a summer of Spider-Man, The Odyssey, Project Hail Mary and more, have we finally reached the most important conclusion of all? Movies are back, baby.
