JAN 650: House of the Dragon S3 Eps. 2-4 Review – How Big Will Spider-Man Open? (07/15/26

This week on The Jock and Nerd Podcast, we discuss the massive box office projections for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is tracking for a spectacular $230–250 million domestic opening, and debate whether it or Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey will become the biggest movie event of the year. We also break down the latest Avengers: Doomsday news, including concept art, the confirmed trailer release window and runtime, rumors of Adam Driver joining the MCU as Magneto, and reactions to the newest trailers for Dune: Part Three, DIGGER, and Godzilla Minus Zero. Then we return to Westeros for a spoiler-filled review of House of the Dragon Season 3 Episodes 2–4, covering Rhaenyra's rise to power, the fallout from the Battle of the Gullet, political betrayals, dragon warfare, and everything leading toward the Battle of Tumbleton.
