Grab your top hats and kill your confidants because the nerds are BACK to talk the season finale of The Penguin!

Joined by special guest Erik Jue, who gives his thoughts on the show as a viewer as well as a member of the crew! (We have big deal guests now!)

Did the show stick its landing? Do Luis and Miguel actually like The Batman in retrospect now? Listen and find out!

And your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to hear the nerds chat about the newest trailer for Mission Impossible : Final Reckoning. Is this really the end of Ethan Hunt and the crew? You’ll have to see…one last time.

There’s also a JAM packed news section and What We’re Into where Miguel reveals he’s been a magician this whole time!

22:25 - Fortnite

It’s the OG duo this week as Luis and Miguel squad up to talk the newest season of FORTNITE! It’s an OG remix that has Luis nostalgic and gives Miguel a taste of what came before. Are the nerds having a good time? Listen and find out.

Plus they talk the latest footage from Marvel’s upcoming 2025 slate of shows. Lots of footage of Daredevil, Ironheart, Wonder Man and more!

And have you heard the music? Nintendo music that is because they just released a brand new streaming app that plays ONLY Nintendo music. Can’t you just create a Spotify playlist for this? F*CK NO, BB! Time to download a whole new app.

With AI invading the world, of course billionaire supervillain Jeff Bezos is using it on the Prime streaming service. What does it do? Who can remember? Miguel was probably drunk.

Y’all already know Luis loves an experience, so he took one for the team and watched the first 7 minutes of SMILE 2 but there’s a catch… 😀

All of this plus a quick What We’re Into in a short and easy episode.

It’s Halloween!!!

Or is it Christmas? Hard to say when stores have holiday items already hitting the shelves, decorations going up and the workplace is already playing christmas jingles! Is this a sore spot and possible topic of discussion in this week's episode?

You bet your ass it is!

Because it is all vibes this week! With nought for news and feature discussion, one trailer - the latest from Challengers director Luca Guadanigno, Queer - and just a whole bunch of opinions and chit-chat.

Regarding what, you may ask? Well, it is indeed Halloween, and so we reflect on the most horrifying, nightmare-inducing horror movies that we’ve endured, from Aliens to Barbarian and a shocking Jeepers Creepers 2 revelation!

We also tackle the long debated question - when should one party for Halloween if it falls on a weekday? The answer might be more obvious than you think.

And, of course, we get into what we’ve been into… continuing on with The Penguin on Max, a review of the MCU’s latest spinoff series, Agatha All Along, PLUS getting into spooky season with old and new horror films, with the likes of The Wicker Man and the 2024 exclusive “nuns in Italy” double feature, Immaculate and The First Omen.

It’s a laugh of an episode, so be sure to follow, like, subscribe and check it out!

This week we have movie trailers and tv trailers galore!

Before we get lost in the trailer-verse, though, we first dive into the latest buzz in the news, including the inevitable shelving of the MCU Blade project, details on the new Christopher Nolan movie, and we fancast for the role of Patrick Bateman in the new adaptation of American Psycho!

Once we get into trailers, we hit on all sorts… from streaming with Season 2 of Severance (Apple TV +), Creature Commandos (DC) and Dune: Prophecy, to movies with the likes of Electric State (Netflix), The Monkey (Neon), The Legend of Ochi (A24), our highly anticipated first look at the Brutalist, and a load more!

But wait… there’s more! We get the scoop on what we’re into, continuing with the Penguin (HBO / DC), getting a second opinion on Strange Darling, the tale of Dunk and Egg (George RR Martin - Game of Thrones), a taste of The Substance and more.

It’s a fun return of the whole trio of nerds, so be sure to like, subscribe and follow us on social media for this and a lot more, check it out!

We start off with BREAKING NEWS that THE best actor, Daniel Day Lewis, is officially out of retirement as he is spotted filming his new movie!

Plus we have a full TRAILER TALK segment for you bbs!

We spend some time talking about that sexy ass movie Babygirl starring Nicole Kidman and Antonio Banderas.

Then John Williams is finally getting his flowers as Disney+ is releasing a documentary on all of his work.

But the big trailer we can’t wait to discuss is The Last of Us season 2 on MAX! Is it going to live up to the game? And what toxic comments can we expect as the season progresses?

And finally we have a surprise exchange about this RANDOM biopic for “one of the world's most famous pop stars” (allegedly) Robbie Williams!

Now instead of a Feature Discussion this week we are trying a new segment called:

GRIPES and GRAPES!

What are some of the things we HATE and LOVE about streaming services and what would we like to see change.
