  • 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.

  • 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 exhausted

    PS: 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.

  • 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.
