Episode 120 - Spider-Man: Brand New Day Review (Spoiler Free!) & The Beauty FX Review

from Frantic Nerdcast · host Frantic Nerdcast

The boys are back for Episode 120, coming to you in full monochromatic green style! 🟢 This week, we’re opening up with some high-stakes local bin chat before diving straight into the big pop culture releases. We give our initial (mostly!) spoiler-free thoughts on Spider-Man: Brand New Day—is it truly the best MCU Spider-Man movie yet? We also dive into Ryan Murphy's The Beauty (and how it compares to the graphic novel), Netflix’s The Boroughs, Peacemaker Season 2, a nostalgic Mortal Kombat marathon, and early impressions of Silo Season 3. Plus, Brock gets put on the hot seat for a blind Dragon Ball Z Character Ranking, we highlight how to play our game Monsters at War, cover huge news in the TCG and tabletop world (Universes 40k, PAX Aus, and Ready Player Two), and share details on an incredible community FU Cancer fundraiser.
