This week on Geek Freaks, we break down the latest Avengers: Doomsday chatter and what the teaser strategy might be hinting at for the MCU's next big swing. We also hit the latest Tangled live-action conversation, dig into Netflix's theatrical strategy, and wrap with quick recs you can jump into right now. What We Cover Avengers: Doomsday teaser rollout and what it suggests about the movie's tone and focus Doctor Doom and X-Men speculation, what feels likely vs what feels like fan fuel Tangled live-action updates and why casting discourse is always a battlefield Netflix's theatrical window approach and what it means for studios and audiences Quick recs and what's worth your time this week Timestamps and Topics 01:46 Question of the week: Geek New Year's resolutions 05:55 Network update: Why Challenge Accepted is being put to rest 08:12 Are Disney live-action remakes still worth it? 16:52 Sebastian Stan rumored for Harvey Dent in The Batman: Part 2 17:40 Netflix and Warner Bros. talk, plus the 17-day theatrical window idea 25:33 Avengers: Doomsday marketing strategy: four teasers vs one trailer 50:25 Weekly recommendations: comics, movies, and a Taskmaster pitch 54:41 Network shout-outs and wrap-up Key Takeaways The way Marvel markets Doomsday may tell you as much as the footage does. Doctor Doom only works if the story earns his presence instead of rushing him in. X-Men teases hit harder when they support the main plot, not replace it. Live-action remake casting always turns into a referendum on the whole idea. Netflix's theater strategy keeps changing, and that uncertainty affects everyone. Recs are still the best part of a news-heavy week when you just want something fun to watch or play.

What makes the cases even more creepy is that an Appalachian apple face doll is left in place of the child. Archer draws on her personal knowledge of place as a 7th-generation Appalachian, although she now resides in Los Angeles, and is always looking for a reason to come home. The novel was a nominee for the 2025 Goodreads Choice Awards in the Best Debut Novel Category. The next Annie Gore installment comes out in August of 2026.   Our book rec section for this episode is a call back to what a lot of people were doing the past two weeks–taking planes, trains, and automobiles to family and friends to celebrate the holidays.

Everything I'm currently loving digitally! My recommendations for holiday movies, binge worthy shows, music, podcast episodes and favorite online creators

We love unique reading projects around here, and today's guest has maintained hers since 2021. We're going to hear all about it and explore how she's adding a new twist for 2026. Kate Mosesso is a reader and improv comedian who lives and works in Chicago. She's a lifelong reader, and while she loves the stories on the page, she's an even bigger fan of the connections that reading fosters. Since 2021, Kate's undertaken a community-inspired reading project: every month, she reads a book recommended by a loved one. This project has led her to a lot of great books and given her a new way to connect with people she loves: friends, family members, even favorite professors. For 2026, she's thinking of a new angle for this long-time project and is interested in discussing how to make it really work for her. Today, we're going to explore what's happening with Kate's project, the changes she'd like to make for the year ahead, and what we can do about it. Anne recommends titles and tips to infuse Kate with confidence and enthusiasm for her reading year to come. Find the full list of titles mentioned today and leave your recommendations for Kate on our show notes page at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/505. If you're curious about what the Modern Mrs Darcy Book Club is all about, today Anne shares a peek behind the scenes of this online community. From our annual readers' retreats to author talks and classes to help you make the most of your reading life, Book Club is full of things to look forward to each year. Our team Best Books of the Year event is coming up in January, an event that's only available for our online communities. And looking ahead for 2026, our Book Club members will enjoy our February Readers' Day with a Spring Book Preview themed library chat, our Summer Reading Guide unboxing, Austen in August, and more good nerdy fun. We hope you'll join us in 2026 as we celebrate 10 years of the Modern Mrs Darcy Book Club. A Book Club membership also makes a fantastic last-minute holiday gift.

Sometimes all you want from family is attention..and all of it. In this week's episode, Alex and Jon once again tackle your questions from “How do I get more attention?” to “Was Dr.Seuss on drugs?”. I think we can all agree he was on SOMETHING when writing his books, right? Alex seems to think so since all she does now is read to Lucy. Jon can't focus on reading because he's too busy defending crimes like vandalism. If you can't tell, this episode has a range of topics so there's something for everyone!
