JAN 631: Box Office Movie Draft - Paramount Wins Bidding War For WB (03/04/26)

This week on The Jock and Nerd Podcast, we break down the massive $111 billion megamerger between Warner Bros. Discovery and Paramount, what it means for the future of Hollywood, and how it could reshape the movie landscape. We also discuss Paramount tapping Max Landis to write a new G.I. Joe movie, Sony's plans to reboot its Spider-Man Universe, and the latest updates in the Oscar race following the PGA and SAG Award winners. Then it's time for one of our favorite annual segments: the 2026 Box Office Movie Draft, where we compete to assemble the strongest slate of upcoming films and predict which titles will dominate theaters this year. We wrap things up with What Are We Watching?, featuring recent releases and awards-season contenders. ⏱️ Timestamps This week on the show! (0:00) Welcome to The Jock and Nerd Podcast!
