This week, Kyle welcomes back friend of the show Hector Navarro to take a look at the state of big comic book movies at the moment. 2025 had plenty of offerings, but none made the kind of money they once did. So what does that mean for next year? Does Avengers: Doomsday have a chance to break $1 billion? What about Supergirl?

This week, Kyle welcomes back Adam Murray to discuss another weird '90s movie from their childhood. This time it's arguably (although who would argue) the first actually good video game movie, 1995's Mortal Kombat. Why did it work? Does it hold up 30 years later? And where does it fall in the canon of video game flicks?

For the final episode of this spooky season, Kyle welcomes back Eric and Mikey to discuss the classic Universal Monsters movies. Eric and Kyle are big fans; Mikey has never seen a single one...until now! How well do these nearly 100-year-old movies fare to a brand new viewer in 2025? Is there a reason Halloween can't get enough of them? 

This week, Kyle welcomes back Lindsey Romain to talk about why and how horror media can be comforting and what specifically they look for in cozy horror watches. Get those pencils ready to write down the metric ton of titles they mention!

Kyle has some conflicted feelings about Peacemaker season 2, which just wrapped up on HBO Max. Joining him to parse out his thoughts is Popverse staff writer and friend of the show Jules Chin Greene. They also discuss the future of the DCU and the hopes for what's next.
