After a three-week break, the crew—Gigi, Ron, Jeff, and Mario—return to make up for lost time in this action-packed episode. They dive into the exciting news about Dark Horse Comics’ upcoming sequel to The Rocky Horror Picture Show comic book series. The team explores what this new chapter could mean for fans of the original film and for a fresh generation of readers who may be encountering it for the first time.
Next, Ron shares his thoughts on several movies he watched while he was out sick, including Kraven the Hunter, Heart Eyes, Bagman (2024), and Wolf Man (2025), offering his personal insights on each.
The conversation then shifts to a thought-provoking Woot Survey that asked, “Do you still get excited about superhero movies?” The results spark a lively discussion, with each cast member sharing their evolving opinions on the superhero genre.
The mood lightens as the team veers off script to discuss a hilarious YouTube video featuring Indian Superman and an Indian take on Michael Jackson’s Thriller. The laughs are plenty as they break down these unique, entertaining finds.
The team then pivots to a more serious topic: the casting news surrounding Colin Farrell, who is in talks to take on the iconic role of Sergeant Rock in DC Comics' upcoming Sgt. Rock movie, following Daniel Craig’s departure from the project.
The discussion continues with a reflection on Hollywood’s growing trend of transforming classic cartoon characters—such as Mickey Mouse, Bambi, Winnie the Pooh, and Popeye—into horror movie villains now that their copyrights have expired. What does this new direction mean for both nostalgia and the horror genre?
Switching gears, the crew delves into the exciting news about Neil Blomkamp’s upcoming adaptation of the 1959 novel Starship Troopers, set to be produced by Columbia Pictures for Sony. What does Sony’s involvement mean for the future of this sci-fi reboot?
To wrap up the episode, the hosts tackle the "Question of the Week": Name a horror movie from the past 30 years that genuinely scared you?
