his week on The Jock and Nerd Podcast, we break down the latest developments in the Paramount–Warner Bros. Discovery merger, including a potential settlement with state attorneys general and what the proposed conditions could mean for Hollywood. We also discuss Daredevil: Born Again officially ending after Season 3 and react to the first trailer for Netflix’s The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth.
Then we head into Raccoon City for our spoiler-filled review of Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil (2026)! Following his success with Barbarian and Weapons, Cregger reimagines the iconic survival-horror franchise with an original story starring Austin Abrams. We discuss the terrifying creatures, brutal kills, dark comedy, video game Easter eggs, and whether the movie captures what it actually feels like to play Resident Evil. Plus, we look at the film’s record-breaking $60 million domestic opening weekend!
