WHO COULD HAVE FORESEEN THIS?
It's been a month since Skydance consumed Warner Bros. Discovery like a parasite, and the ramifications have already begun. Despite his promise that James Gunn and Peter Safran would keep their positions at DC Studios, Skydance CEO David Ellison -- alongside co-CEO Ynon Kriez -- fired the duo last Friday, replacing them with former-Marvel-now-christian producer Jeremy Latcham. This development has dominated the entire pop culture sphere this week, but what do the boys who've been critical of the DCU think about its untimely demise? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian discuss recent news and give their thoughts on the DCU's end, the mistakes made along the way, and what worse is still yet to come from Ellison and Skydance.

After fourteen years, Avatar is finally back on television! We've been eagerly anticipating the Earth Avatar series for nearly two and a half years now, making our own pitches and following every trail of breadcrumbs laid out about its development. Now that it's finally here, what do we think?

THE LORD GIVETH AND TAKETH.
It's been a minute! Time for us to play catch-up! The past three weeks have been nothing short of crazy, exciting, and devastating, and it's time to go all-in.

"SHE'S LIKE A PHOENIX, THAT WOMAN!"
When Wolverine was first revealed five years ago, nobody could predict the tumultuous saga it would face in the coming years. Insomniac's reputation declining amidst dissatisfied fan reception to Spider-Man 2, an unprecedented cyberattack resulting in hours of footage and an entire story outline leaked, pressure from no further updates for nearly two years, being caught in the crossfire amidst culture wars and PlayStation's (and the industry's) worst year in ages, it's been a long, windy road to release that would've made it all worth it if the game stuck the landing. Well, it kinda did, and kinda didn't, but in what ways? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian go all-in on the spoiler-filled insanity that is Insomniac's most fascinating and divisive Marvel game to date -- MARVEL'S WOLVERINE!

"ACTING IS THE SUM OF EVERYTHING YOU'VE EXPERIENCED."
If you guys have been following us throughout the year, you know Brian's been trying to get Alec to watch Wonder Man for the past eight months. Because he didn't, the show got cancelled. Now he has worked to make amends by finally watching the eight episodes he was told were made for him. He was told the truth. He is sorry. So, tune in as Alec and Brian talk all about Marvel's surprise television hit of the year (and the show they cancelled after renewing) -- WONDER MAN!

YAO MING ALMOST CRIED WHEN HE SAW THE STATE OF PLAYS.
As we near the final quarter of 2026, video game news and releases are starting to heat up. Between all the games trying to launch without being impacted by GTAVI, and all the footage making its way from hacked hard drives to the internet, you'd think actual showcases would have more to, well, show. Oh well, we still got a few things to ramble about. So, tune in as Alec and Brian go over all the news from the last couple weeks, including new looks at GRAND THEFT AUTO VI and WOLVERINE, as well as the leaked trailer for Motive's IRON MAN game!

"AND I'M TAKING IT BACK."
Ever since My Adventures with Superman premiered three years ago, we at Boulder Punch have been undeniably hooked, with its second season especially being one of our favorite DC things in recent memory. The past two years waiting for Season 3 have been long, but now it's finally out! While there is plenty to love, including arguably the best episode of the entire show, there are some low points that leave quite a bit to be desired. But with an uncertain future looming, what do we really think of this season? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian go over recent news, as well as their spoiler-filled thoughts on MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN Season 3 -- alongside what the future holds!

YAO MING ALMOST CRIED WHEN HE SAW THE CURRENT STATE OF X-MEN '97.
After two and a half years alongside a creative shakeup, the second season of X-MEN '97 is finally here! While the season's had its fair share of highs, it's also had some pretty dizzying lows -- so much that people are worrying for the future of the show. So, what did we think of it? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian go over recent news (Paramount/WBD Merger, the state of DC, WOLVERINE gameplay, BEYOND THE SPIDER-VERSE updates, and casting for the X-MEN movie) alongside their spoiler-filled thoughts on X-MEN '97 Season 2!

NOW WHAT?
With Brand New Day dominating the box office, it's time to take a look at all the news we missed and see what's coming next. The view is more mixed than we'd like it to be, but it must be scoped out nonetheless.

"I'M BOTH."
Happy Spider-Man Day! After four and a half years of trial and error, creative differences, versions tossed in the trash, and so, so much waiting, the next chapter in Peter Parker's live-action saga has finally arrived! The film is garnering mass amounts of praise and unforeseen financial success for the webhead, but what do we think of it?

SOON WE WILL OWN NOTHING!
Last week capping off with the second season of a bad adaptation and a bad entry in a cinematic universe seemed to bode badly for this week.

So, tune in as Alec and Brian dive through all the big pop culture stuff of the past week, including more on NATLA Season 2, SUPERGIRL and the DCU, the PERSONA live action Netflix series, and the new awful updates from Xbox and PlayStation, including the latter's decision to end physical discs for good!

WHAT DOES LOBO EVEN DO?
After Superman got the DCU off to a (debatably) good start, many were excited to see where Kara Zor-El's first cinematic outing in forty years would take things next. Her film being adapted from a singular critically-acclaimed comic seemed to be the perfect recipe for a surefire hit. Unfortunately, both critically and commercially, that has not seemed to pass. So, what happened? Tune in to find out as Alec and Brian go all in on the spoilers and questionable choices behind the fourth chapter of the DCU -- SUPERGIRL!

Tune in as Alec and Brian go over recent news, trailers, and thoughts, from the WB/Paramount merger, to Chris Evans returning in SECRET WARS, to Jessica Cruz in MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN Season 3, to the recent failures of films like THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU, and the highly-anticipated trailer for SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY!

BRING ON THE WILDERNESS YEARS PART TWO!
We planned on talking about Mandalorian and Grogu this episode, but too much happened in the past week for us to condense. Game showcases, leaks, and the official (for-now) sunsetting of the longest-running sci-fi show of all time didn't really leave us with much room to talk about a vapid movie. So, tune in as Alec and Brian go over the biggest bits from the past week, including RESIDENT EVIL: VERONICA, THE WOLF AMONG US 2, GODZILLA: DESTROY ALL MONSTERS MELEE REMASTERED, PERSONA 4 REVIVAL AND PERSONA 6, MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN SEASON 3, and of course -- the end of DOCTOR WHO for the foreseeable future!

"BOO!"
After the lukewarm to positive reception of its messier first season, the Man Without Fear's newest season left many hoping for something tighter, more focused, and closer in quality to its Netflix predecessor. What resulted was what many consider to be a massive step up that brings this new era to a head, while still struggling with some growing pains. So, what do we think?

"I'M GONNA SIT RIGHT HERE WITH YOU..."
After the emotional and shocking ending of Resident Evil Village, many wondered where the franchise would go next, even more so who it would revolve around. What many did not expect was a pivot back to Raccoon City and the T-Virus through the eyes of newcomer Grace Ashcroft and veteran Leon Kennedy.

"WHAT IS YOUR HEART FOR?"
Thirty years ago today, a new anime premiered on television in Japan. One that seemed standard fare for the time, giant robots fighting giant monsters, etc. What no one really knew was that it would end up becoming one of the cornerstones of all of modern pop culture as we know it, one that's still analyzed to this day in its storytelling, themes, and artistry. Many people have taken their cracks at discussing it, and now it's our turn. So, tune in as Alec, Brian, and special guest Darby (@gwenstacying) celebrate the thirty year anniversary of NEON GENESIS EVANGELION by looking back on the series, The End of Evangelion, all the manga spinoffs, and even the rebuilds, and discussing what they all mean to them!
