This week on The Jock and Nerd Podcast, we discuss Universal’s surprising decision to skip influencer screenings for The Odyssey and whether early social media reactions have become less trustworthy. We also cover rumors of Zendaya taking the lead in a Bourne reboot, the reported casting of DC Studios’ Batman for The Brave and the Bold, and newly announced animated projects including Absolute Batman, Joker: Laugh Riot, and Krypto. Plus, we react to the latest trailers for Batman: Knightfall, The Weight, and DIGGER.
Then we dive into our full review of Supergirl (2026), discussing Milly Alcock’s performance, the film’s place in James Gunn’s DC Universe, and whether the Girl of Steel’s first solo outing soars or stumbles.
