This week on The Jock and Nerd Podcast, we break down a massive moment in Hollywood as Paramount, Comcast, and Netflix officially submit bids to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery. We dig into what each bid could mean for the industry and for fans.
We also cover updates on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live-action plans, a new Star Trek film taking shape at Paramount, the Frozen cast landing record-breaking deals, and the historic $9 million sale of Superman #1.
Then we review Sisu: Road to Revenge (2025) before jumping into News From The Nation and What We're Watching, including Eternity (2025) and both Wicked movies.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
