🧠 Episode Summary

This week, Yung Phil and Jahmez 5000 ride a blue wave of nerd news straight into chaos. We break down Avatar: Fire & Ash absolutely printing blue money, debate whether James Cameron has secretly unlocked an infinite Na’vi ATM, and officially crown Sigourney Weaver as Ripley of the Cat People.

On the superhero front, Marvel teases Avengers: Doomsday and the internet immediately overanalyzes a green poster like it’s the Zapruder film. DC fans eat well with Brainiac casting news, Seth Rogen popping up in Supergirl, and James Gunn staying firmly planted at the helm.

Add in Peanuts being bought by Sony, live-action One Piece Chopper hype, Avatar Studios chaos, and YouTube stealing the Oscars, and you’ve got an episode that moves faster than a banshee on Red Bull. Nerdy. Funny. Slightly unhinged. Exactly how we like it.
