The first animated series for James Gunn's DCU has concluded and we've got a lot thoughts. Mainly, why are we still coding disability as monstrous? Is David Zaslav running security in Pokolistan? What's the over-under on at least one student wanting to get freaky with a fish girl? Is Doctor Phosphorus the show's MVP?

Jason and Rosie are back with the biggest pop culture news of the week. First up: they've seen Supergirl. In a spoiler-free breakdown, they weigh in on Craig Gillespie's DCU debut — a film that survived 10+ test screenings, extensive reshoots, and an apparent crisis of confidence from the studio. The verdict? Against all odds, it's... pretty okay.

Then: DC's massive animation slate out of Annecy, including the Batman Caped Crusader Season 2 trailer (all 10 episodes drop July 31 on Prime Video), and the surprise announcement of Nightfall — an R-rated animated trilogy adapting the legendary Knightfall arc, with Anson Mount as Batman, Michael Manas as Bane, and Pablo Schreiber as Azrael.

In this episode of our monthly series leading up to Avengers: Doomsday, Jason and Rosie spotlight confirmed returning heroes Shang-Chi and Ant-Man, along with heavily speculated additions like Doctor Strange, Monica Rambeau (aka Photon), Ms. Marvel, and more. They explore why Shang-Chi hasn’t appeared in another film in nearly six years, what roles Doctor Strange and Monica could play in Doomsday, and how likely other unconfirmed Phase 4 and 5 characters are to show up. Next, they revisit the films and TV shows released in Phases 4 and 5, along with the behind-the-scenes developments that shaped those eras, including Disney CEO leadership changes and Marvel’s pivot away from Kang and Jonathan Majors toward Doctor Doom. To close, they dig into lingering questions from unresolved plot threads, including several post-Endgame credit scenes.
