  • Supergirl, Backrooms, Cape Fear and more… It’s a trailer kinda week! - Episode 205
    Apr 3 2026

    The Punch Drunk Nerd gang are back together in full strength this week, and just as well, because there are a bunch of new trailers to get into…

    First we get a deeper look into what the latest DC studios venture has in store with SUPERGIRL!

    Then we get an intense first look at the upcoming Appletv series remake of CAPE FEAR! It’s got a stellar cast, but is 10 episodes too many?

    We then get a double-hitter from A24, with another tantalizing teaser for David Lowery’s MOTHER MARY, and our first taste of their new horror, BACKROOMS!

    Does the new trailer for MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE sell us on the upcoming blockbuster, or is this just another, by-the-numbers reboot? The team might be torn.

    What’re we into you might ask? Well, Miguel continues on is MCU revisit, hitting up on some of the greats, including Captain America: Civil War.

    And we finally get Luis’ take on PROJECT HAIL MARY! He may have liked it so much that he may have gone straight to the book source…

    All that and more this week, be sure to check it out wherever you get your podcasts. Follow, like and subscribe on socials and youtube and stay tuned for much much more.

  • Project Hail Mary review + Harry Potter tv series first look - EP 204
    Mar 31 2026

    This week’s episode covers some exciting trailer reactions, a deep dive into a highly anticipated sci-fi adaptation, and a fun debate about which apocalyptic worlds we might actually survive in.

    In Trailer Talk, we react to several new trailers including Wild Horse 9, the live-action remake of Moana, and the upcoming HBO television adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. We break down our first impressions, what these projects might bring to their franchises, and what has us most curious moving forward.

    Our featured discussion focuses on Project Hail Mary. We talk about the premise, the hype surrounding the adaptation, and what makes the story such an exciting entry in modern science fiction.

    In Let’s Talk About This Now, the conversation turns into a fun hypothetical: which apocalyptic movie worlds would we actually have the best chance of surviving in? From chaos-filled wastelands to quieter end-of-the-world scenarios, we debate which cinematic disasters might be survivable and which would end us immediately.

    And in What We’re Into, Ed has been watching Last One Laughing and shares his thoughts on the comedy competition series.

    Another fun episode filled with movie talk, trailer reactions, and a few wild survival debates along the way.

  • Spider-Man Brand New Day & Dune Part 3 Trailer Reactions - EP 203
    Mar 20 2026

    This week’s episode blends awards-season reactions, blockbuster trailer hype, and some real-life conversations about tech, habits, and gaming. From Oscars buzz to the future of movie theaters, it’s a wide-ranging and fun discussion.

    We kick things off with an Oscars recap, including a big win for Michael B. Jordan taking Best Actor, and what that moment means for his career and the industry. We also dive into a growing industry trend: movie studios aiming for shorter theatrical windows, with many films now staying in theaters for 5–7 weekends. We discuss what that means for audiences, theaters, and streaming.

    In Trailer Talk, we react to two huge releases: Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Dune Part 3, sharing our thoughts on what these films are setting up.

    Then in Let’s Talk About This Now, we get into social media habits, AI as a tool vs a crutch, and the best video game controllers.

    A balanced episode mixing big entertainment moments with thoughtful conversation and a few fun debates along the way.
