This week on The Jock and Nerd Podcast, we break down the biggest news from D23, led by Marvel officially revealing the cast and release date for its upcoming X-Men reboot. We also discuss Hugh Jackman and Ryan Reynolds returning for Avengers: Doomsday, react to the new Doomsday special look, the first VisionQuest trailer, and the Ahsoka Season 2 teaser. Plus, over at DC Studios, Waller and Paradise Lost are reportedly no longer in active development.
Then we dive into our spoiler-filled review of The End of Oak Street (2026), David Robert Mitchell’s new sci-fi horror film that mixes suburban ’80s nostalgia, dinosaurs, time-bending mystery, and family drama. Does this Poltergeist meets Jurassic Park concept work, or is the movie trying to do too much?
