This episode kicks off with the team diving into the newly released trailer for The Home, starring Pete Davidson. That sparks a deeper conversation about the highs and lows of M. Night Shyamalan’s filmography, as the hosts share their favorite (and not-so-favorite) movies from the director.
Next up, the crew reacts to a recent post by Chris Hemsworth that has fans speculating whether he’s officially hanging up Thor’s hammer and stepping away from the MCU.
The discussion then shifts to the new AMC trailer for Nautilus, an upcoming adventure series centered around Captain Nemo. The team weighs in on the show's potential and whether it stands out in a crowded TV landscape.
From there, attention turns to Universal Studios’ big announcement: the grand opening of Epic Universe on May 22. While the team is excited about the themed lands and immersive experiences, they also talk about the growing costs of visiting Orlando's major parks like Disney World and Universal Studios—and how that may affect families planning trips.
The episode continues with thoughts on the long-awaited fifth and final season of Stranger Things, set to premiere in late 2025 and wrap sometime in 2026. The hosts express concern that the long gap between seasons could impact audience excitement and engagement.
Next, it’s on to the surprising news of Matrix 5 being in development. The hosts reflect on the franchise as a whole and admit that their interest in new installments has waned.
Finally, the show wraps up with the Question of the Week:
Aliens have invaded Earth, and it's up to you to build a hand-to-hand combat team of fictional heroes to save humanity. One must be from sci-fi, one from horror, and one from fantasy. Who's on your squad?
