271 | "Bumwater"
October 16th, 2025 | 1 hr 13 mins
Comic-Con was lit. We saw panels for Marvel, Mortal Kombat, and a new show called The Beauty. Highlights:
• Marvel Zombies — 4 episodes. Not canon. But Blade + Moon Knight powers? Dope. • X-Men '97 — New showrunners. Same as the first showrunners. Trailer was sick. • Daredevil Season 2 — trailer blew up. Jessica Jones shows. It’s bigger, wilder, leads into Brand New Day. Season 3 also confirmed. • Wonder Man — meta AF. An actor chasing a superhero life? Could end up with actual powers. • Vision Quest — most of this one’s inside Vision’s head. He’s wrestling with all his AIs (Jarvis, FRIDAY, Karen, Ultron, Edith), and one of his kids might still be alive. • Mortal Kombat 2 — they dropped a 5-min clip. We get realm traveling (Baraka’s realm seen), a more humorous tone, and a deeper Johnny Cage journey.NEED MERCH?!: www.insensitivemerch.com Join the cult of Casual Nerds and get up to 15% off!

270 | "The Denver Airport"
October 2nd, 2025 | 1 hr 20 mins
We argued why The Batman stays Elseworlds, side-eyed a Catwoman spinoff, and poured one out for Colin Farrell’s Emmy. Then we dunked on Peacemaker’s Nazi-verse twist (and the Fortnite emote that got smoked), plus Bond going “unknown,” Tom Holland’s concussion halt, and a totally normal detour into Denver Airport conspiracies.
Quick hits:
• “BBC Jesus Christ” and other phrases we can’t put on merch
• Peacemaker S2E6: hype vs actually good
• Avengers: Doomsday date set; we’re already exhaustedPS: No, we didn’t mix that BeatBox + Cutwater + BuzzBall abomination. We just judged it.

266 | "Cutwaters are Crazy"
August 28th, 2025 | 1 hr 32 mins
This week on Casual Nerds, Hollywood served up more drama than an actual script.
• Avengers: Doomsday – Rumors say RDJ and Ryan Reynolds went full diva slap-fight, and Marvel’s solution was possibly: “Bet, you two don’t play together anymore.”
• Weapons – Marketed as horror, served as thriller, garnished with awkward laughs. Half the crowd called it movie of the year, the other half wanted refunds.
• Stephen King – Turns out childhood trauma makes for a hell of a career move. The Long Walk and The Life of Chuck are next up on the adaptation conveyor belt.
• Batman 2 – Robin might get shoved in to make the DCU fit, but we’re not buying it. Gunn’s vision vs. studio meddling = chaos incoming.
• MCU Gossip – Tramell Tillman joins Spider-Man, Florence Pugh might be back with her widow’s bite, and Jonathan Majors is apparently still on Marvel’s Christmas card list.I F••k Wit It!:

263 | "Feelin Gucci"
July 31st, 2025 | 1 hr 53 mins
Alright, in this episode we bounce around a bit—AI, social media trends, random life stuff—but the real juice is all about the latest Marvel and DC movie news. The crew dives into the new Fantastic 4 flick, throws some shade (and some love) at Taika Waititi directing Judge Dredd, and unpacks all the casting rumors and plot teases from the MCU and DCU.
Quick hits:
• The Sydney Sweeney x American Eagle ad drama takes center stage. We shut down the Nazi imagery claims—says it’s a reach.
• Taika’s officially doing Judge Dredd and everyone’s kinda like… “Will the goofy vibes work for this one?”
• The Fantastic 4 reboot is getting solid praise—great characters, solid writing—but a few folks wish it dug a little deeper.
• Marvel boss Kevin Feige’s got a whole seven-year MCU roadmap cooked up: reboot with Franklin Richards, fresh takes on Blade and X-Men, and a pivot toward younger fans and heroes like Spidey.
• Over in DC land, James Gunn’s teasing multiverse madness, maybe a new Batman, and upcoming shows like Peacemaker (yep, it’s back) and Creature Commandos.I F••k Wit It!:
