The first half leans hard into nerd news, including Project Hail Mary early buzz, Lanterns, Batman Part II, Conan the Barbarian, Harry Potter casting rumors, One Piece, Knights of the Old Republic, and the newly announced Xbox Helix concept.For new viewers, The Do-Over Podcast is a conversation-driven show built around sharp opinions, jokes, and weekly culture talk, and Taps & Takes is the Friday spinoff that blends entertainment, gaming, and sports from the bar. This episode keeps that format moving fast. Drew and Edward open with Grog’s and St. Patrick’s Day talk, roll through the week’s biggest pop culture headlines, then pivot into a March Madness-style debate over black superheroes after realizing they missed Black History Month.The back half shifts into Royce’s Words for a rant on lip filler culture before the show moves into Oscars betting strategy and a full slate of award predictions, including Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Actress, supporting categories, screenplay, animation, score, sound, and production design. They close with NFL free agency reactions, including Mike Evans to the 49ers, Kenneth Walker to the Chiefs, Isaiah Pacheco to the Lions, Tua landing with the Falcons, Malik Willis heading to Miami, and why the Raiders may have had the strongest week of all.00:00 – Intro at Grogg’s00:03 – Nerd news kickoff00:04 – Project Hail Mary early buzz00:07 – Frodo, Conan and Batman updates00:10 – The Boys and Lanterns reactions00:15 – Aegon movie and Paramount trouble00:18 – Mario, One Piece and KOTOR00:21 – Xbox Helix rumors00:25 – Best black superhero bracket00:28 – Royce’s Words00:32 – Oscars betting picks00:43 – NFL free agency roundup00:48 – Wrap-up and plugs#TheDoOverPodcast #TapsAndTakes #Podcast #YouTubePodcast #Oscars #OscarPredictions #NFLFreeAgency #NFL #XboxHelix #NerdNews #MovieTalk #GamingNews #BlackSuperheroes #GroggsTraditionalIrishPub
