Welcome to Episode 338 of the Monkey Nut Punch Podcast! This week, we're talking sci-fi reboots, superhero returns, and a dive into a Star Trek classic. Here's what we've got lined up:
News: Russell T Davies responds to the growing criticism of Doctor Who being “too woke.” Is it fair or just media noise? Director Shawn Levy’s Star Wars: Starfighter movie is set to start production this fall. What can we expect from the next galactic adventure? Pacific Rim is making a comeback—this time as a TV series on Amazon, with Arrival writer Eric Heisserer attached. Ryan Coogler (Black Panther, Sinners) confirms he’s in talks with Gillian Anderson about an X-Files reboot. Is Mulder and Scully’s world about to open up again?
Trailers: Marvel drops trailers for The Fantastic Four: First Steps and Thunderbolts. Are they bringing fresh energy or just more of the same?
Reviews: We dive into Daredevil: Born Again on Disney+. How does it hold up compared to the original Netflix run? We also take a look at Bondsman—does it deliver something new or fall into familiar territory?
Retro Review: A true sci-fi masterpiece—Star Trek: The Next Generation's "Best of Both Worlds" Parts 1 & 2. One of the greatest cliffhangers in TV history, and we break it all down.
