Should Hollywood Stop Rebooting Everything? | Taps & Takes

Season 2, Episode 26 of The Do-Over Podcast drops Drew Hyatt and Edward Raus back inside Grogg’s Traditional Irish Pub for another Taps & Takes episode, and this one moves exactly how the format should: fast, opinionated, and all over the map in the best way. The first half lives in nerd news, with the guys bouncing from Gremlins 3 and The Batman Part II to Disney’s Animorphs reboot, X-Men 97 speculation, Nintendo’s movie future, and why some franchises should be left alone for good. If you’re new here, The Do-Over Podcast is a conversation-first show built on honest reactions, not polished talking points. Taps & Takes is the branch of the show where Drew and Edward trade quick-hit takes on whatever they’re watching, following, or arguing about that week. In this episode, that means a real back-and-forth on movie reboots, a review of the new Super Mario movie, excitement around Marvel’s Darth Maul series, and a bigger question hanging over all of it: what deserves a sequel, and what should stay finished? The second half shifts gears without losing momentum. Royce jumps in with a full rant about vet bills, pet insurance, and how expensive it’s become just to take care of an animal you love. From there, Drew and Edward get into sports with March Madness winners, a Masters pick centered on Fresno’s own Bryson DeChambeau, a quick baseball check-in, and a longer closer on NBA tanking, the play-in problem, and why late-season basketball has turned into a mess. They wrap by teasing next week’s NFL Draft talk.
