Babblin' Brookses

Charlie and Sonny babble about and take on the daunting task of ranking all 13 comic book-based movies and TV shows set to release in 2025 from least to most anticipated, all while sharing their opinions, debates, and surprising picks. The question is, will your favourites make it to the top of their lists?

Charlie and Sonny return… AGAIN!!! After a four-month break, the pair make a comeback in this fun-filled episode. In it, they challenge each other with their own trivia questions about comic books and the superhero genre as a whole. Who will reign supreme, and who will be left questioning their comic book cred?

Charlie babbles with his excellent friend Alfi Howard, filling in for his brother (again—because, apparently, Charlie's family runs on stand-ins). In this episode, the pair dive deep, discussing the nature and business of comedy. Alfi shares his tales from the trenches as a comedian, talks about the stand-up competition he's organising, and somehow, Charlie's involvement in it. Spoiler alert: neither knows how Charlie got involved, but it's happening anyway!

At a panel during San Diego Comic-Con 2024, Marvel Studios announced and revealed new information regarding five of their upcoming MCU movies.

In this second and final (for now at least) episode regarding spicy opinions, Charlie and Sonny babble about the rest of their superhero hot takes.

Charlie and Sonny return (again) to share their most spicy opinions about superhero comics, films, and more. But of course, they can't help but babble on pointless tangents, so this episode is the first part of a 2-part episode topic.

Charlie and Sonny return after a nearly 10-month hiatus! In this new episode, they discuss why they stopped recording since August, where they have been in the meantime, what they have been up to, and what new pieces of media they have since the last episode was published.
