In the introduction to this week's edition of the podcast, EstoBro starts the show giving TV all the smoke for his latest addiction: Marvel Rivals. Where the commentary is all good fun, the pair have highlighted the significance of networking with paying the latest popular online video game (1:00). With the latest episode in focus of entertainment in film, the Gents do set curiosity in play if Marvel Rivals will feature any advertised marketing with the next MCU installment: Captain America: Brave New World. Since the holiday break, the Gents take the time to highlight all the major films that did well since the start of winter. It was a major triumph for Sonic the Hedgehog 3 ruled the holidays (19:15), and is rightfully sealing it's place as one of the best video game film adaptations of all time with a set trilogy and more to come from Sega mascot. There was a 'Battle of the Bands' feature with two biopics on famous musicians (29:05): A Complete Unknown and Better Man were also holiday releases that were based off the careers of Bob Dylan and Robbie Williams, respectfully. Where there are cheers for the former, the latter ends up with the most criticism being the worst box office flop of 2024. Horror films were also the rave this season (48:15), and Robert Egger's remake of Nosferatu has made a major impact in cinema; however, the latest remake of Wolf Man seems to not be receiving the same amount of approval as Nosferatu. The show concludes with other popular films that are in the theaters, including Mufasa: The Lion King, Flight Risk, and One of Them Days.
