Description: This week on GeekCypha, we kick off with highlights from the Harlem of the North show in Montreal the weekend of August 2nd and 3rd, featuring Styles P on Saturday and Wacka Flocka on Sunday. In other news, we discuss Matt Smith's recent casting as a villain in Star Wars: Starfighter. Is he being typecast with these multiple villain roles? We pivot to the thrilling development of a Spider-Punk animated feature at Sony, led by Daniel Kaluuya and Ajon Singh. We also share updates on The Batman II, set to begin production at Warner Bros. Studios in January 2026. But will James Gunn let the bat fly? In the wrestling arena, we break down WWE's staggering $1.6 billion deal with ESPN for live events and examine the plagiarism lawsuit facing Issa Rae's production company over One Of Them Days. Finally, we chat about Happy Gilmore 2 and the hurdles comedies face in securing theatrical releases, reflecting on how streaming has transformed the movie theater experience.
