From Jessica Jones’ MCU return and Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 hype, to Marvel teasers casually pulling over a billion views, this episode spirals into multiversal speculation fast. The Russos may be playing 4D chess with Endgame timestamps, Mister Miracle officially joins the DCU, and James Gunn politely tells Batman fans to wait their damn turn.Then Lucasfilm drops the big one: Darth Vader, Luke, Leia, and Han are invading Disneyland, breaking Galaxy’s Edge out of sequel-only jail.

🧠 Episode SummaryThis live-recorded chapter of Distance NERDing goes full multiverse chaos as the crew breaks down Marvel, DC, and everything in between with tacos in their bellies and zero chill in their hearts. We debate Joe Keery’s possible MCU future, pour one out for Blade (again), and officially coin the term “Hot Topic Avengers” for the goth side of the superhero universe. Doctor Doom is apparently running a multiversal daycare, Wakanda’s future looks spicy, and Sebastian Stan might be collecting comic book characters like Infinity Stones. Add in surprise Disney casting, DC rumors, Netflix renewals, and enough jokes to make the algorithm blush, and you’ve got one of our nerdiest chapters yet.Yes, Doom goes “I tricked you.” No, we will not apologize.⸻⏱️ Timestamps & Topics • 00:00 – Live show warning & chaos calibration • 01:16 – What is Distance NERDing anyway? • 03:33 – Sponsor shoutouts & what’s on deck • 04:02 – 📰 Straight From J.

 Episode SummaryThe Nerds are back and ringing in 2026 the only way they know how: loud, opinionated, slightly caffeinated, and deeply nerdy. In Chapter 257, the crew dives headfirst into Marvel’s Avengers: Doomsday trailers, gets dangerously excited about comic-accurate X-Men, debates Netflix potentially speedrunning theatrical releases, and speculates wildly about The Batman Part II casting chaos.Along the way, we invent cocktail lore (Talk Nerdy To Me 🍸), mourn Susie Poo, mock conspiracy theories harder than Mephisto fans in 2021, and officially plant our hype flags for everything coming in 2026.

Episode SummaryThis week on Distance NERDing, Phil & Jen spiral into glorious speculation chaos! From Sadie Sink possibly joining Spider-Man: Brand New Day to Marvel’s trailer-drop sorcery, we chase theories harder than Peter Parker chases rent. We also dive into the Stranger Things universe expanding beyond the 80s—because nothing says “family-friendly nostalgia” like mind-controlled agents, Punisher teaming with Spidey, and a possible spin-off set in the 1950s nuclear test sites. Expect wild theories, accidental mini-strokes, and enough nerd energy to power the Upside Down.Timestamps & Topics02:00 – Gem State Comic Con guest hype & psychic-powered wedding invites03:40 – Marvel News Block kicks off08:00 – Sadie Sink joins Spider-Man: Brand New Day (hairgate commences)14:00 – Gwen Stacy theories & fiery debates16:00 – Punisher vs. Spidey morality smackdown23:30 – Marvel trailer-drop predictions (NASA cameo, anyone?)26:00 – Avatar shade + blue cat movie slander01:02:00 – “Satisfying but creepy” TV moments01:03:00 – Stranger Things spin-off speculation (1950s? 90s? California?!)01:27:00 – Wrap-up, Taco Party plug, and the obligatory “Keep Nerding Together”Key Takeaways • Sadie Sink’s mystery Spider-Man role has the fandom more confused than Loki in a straight timeline. • Punisher + Spider-Man = the most chaotic buddy cop duo since Turner & Hooch. • Marvel dropping trailers on Sundays is officially a personality trait. • The Avatar franchise still has zero buttholes (apparently this matters). • The Stranger Things universe is expanding—with time jumps, new eras, new locations, and probably more telepathic shenanigans. • Jen still needs to watch seasons 2–5. Phil is judging lovingly.Quotes • “Even when we don’t speculate… we do.” • “I don’t know what you do in your tights, but I kill people.” — Phil’s inner Punisher • “Government goons gone wild!” • “Was that a black-suit Spider-Man?” • “Avatar minus the buttholes.” (A sentence no one expected in 2025.)Call to ActionLove the show?

🧙‍♀️ Episode SummaryThis week on Distance NERDing, the crew dives deep into the multiverse of madness — and sarcasm. From Kang’s potential resurrection to RDJ’s Doctor Doom glow-up, the gang unpacks every Marvel and DC headline with equal parts chaos and caffeine. We get wild with “evil Grimace” Thanos rumors, X-Men family therapy sessions (aka daddy-issue theater), and the debut of Wonder Man’s Hollywood hustle. Then it’s over to Gotham for stop-motion chaos, Jimmy Olsen’s true-crime adventures, and possibly the most unhinged Batman beard in animation history. All that plus hot takes, worse puns, and your weekly shot of nerd energy (sponsored by Dubby).🕒 Timestamps & Topics • 0:00 – Warning: This episode may cause uncontrollable laughter or nerd rage • 3:00 – Sponsor Shout-out: Dubby Energy (NERDING10!) • 5:10 – Straight from J.
