Since it’s the holidays, I wanted to do something fun—and what’s more fun than Santa Claus in comic books? This episode dives into the absolutely unhinged versions of Santa that pop up in Marvel and DC, from Marvel making him absurdly powerful to DC fully embracing him as a magical being who casually messes with gods and superheroes.

We’ll run through where Santa actually comes from, how comics decided to crank him up to eleven, and why DC clearly has way more fun with him than Marvel ever has. It’s goofy, it’s festive, and it’s one of those episodes that reminds you comics don’t always need to be serious to be entertaining.

On today’s episode of Fuent Chat with Johnny Fuent, we’re doing something I’ve somehow never done before: bringing on a music artist. After talking to animators, writers, voice actors, company presidents, and everyone in between… It’s about time.

And we’re starting strong with ASTRX*, one of the fastest-rising names in Nerdcore right now. We dive into how she first got into making music, the early songs she experimented with, and the ones she’s still keeping in the vault like secret DLC. She takes me through the process of building her new album, Out for Blood, from the ideas and the work to the creative chaos and the “does this song even belong here?” moments.

We also talk about her collabs with Wulf Boi, McGwire, and other big Nerdcore artists she’s connected with, how those relationships started, and the dream collabs she still wants to make happen. We get into performing live, her favorite stages, and the moment she realized, “Okay… people are actually showing up for me.”

And we dig into her creative spark, including how she takes the shows, stories, and worlds she loves and turns them into something completely her own.

It’s a conversation that really shows why she’s on the rise. Let’s head in.

This week, we’re talking about the very sudden shift in Doctor Who’s future because apparently the TARDIS just went from Marvel-budget luxury to “we have CGI at home.” After the Disney partnership quietly exited stage left, the show’s heading back to the BBC’s classic bargain-bin creative era. And look… sometimes that gave us masterpieces like Midnight and the Weeping Angels, and sometimes it gave us monsters made out of bubble wrap and hallway lighting. So real mixed bag energy here.

We’ll walk through how we even got to the era of blockbuster Who in the first place, why the budget ballooned, how it affected the stories (for better and worse), and what the show returning to a much smaller budget could mean going forward. Will it force actual creativity again? Will it tank the momentum? Will the fans eat each other alive on Twitter? (Yes. Absolutely yes.)

Either way, the future of Doctor Who is wide open, a little shaky, and honestly… kind of fascinating. Let’s talk about it.

For this week’s episode, I’m excited to share something incredibly special—a project I’ve been quietly working on for the past few months with an amazing team. This is the pilot episode of my upcoming sci-fi horror audio drama: Rye-Luff 4.

A planet left in silence. A colony that never responded. When a crew is pulled from cryosleep to complete what should’ve been a routine mission, something feels… wrong. Communications are dead. The outpost is untouched—and yet clearly abandoned. As they explore the ruins of a forgotten world, shadows of the past begin to stir.

The mission was supposed to be simple.

But something is still there.

Watching.

Waiting.

Aliens, time travel, and a twist that might break the fandom.

This week, I’m tackling Predator: Killer of Killers—and no, I’m not just recapping it. I’m digging into what the new Predator variants mean for the lore, which hunts actually made sense, and why one Predator was basically a walking L. Also… the animation? Unreal. Literally.

Then it’s on to Doctor Who, where things get messy. The 15th Doctor's run just ended—and not the way anyone expected. I’m talking low viewership, shaky storytelling, and a regeneration reveal no one saw coming. Is the show losing its soul, or just evolving too fast for its own good?

There’s a lot to love, a lot to question, and yes—I’ve got some opinions that might ruffle feathers.

In this week’s episode, I’m breaking down Monster Hunter Wilds—the game I’ve been hooked on lately. From its open-world setup to smoother combat and all the upgrades in between, I’m giving you the real rundown on whether this one’s worth your time.

Before we get to the hunt, we’ve got some Nerd News that’s too wild to ignore. The Powerpuff Girls live-action trailer leaked, and yeah... it’s straight-up awful. I’m talking SNL parody levels of bad. Plus, leaked footage from the next Battlefield, a first look at Silent Hill F, and some questionable choices in the Lilo and Stitch live-action. I also get into Invincible’s season finale, the new Devil May Cry anime, John Wick 5, and Sadie Sink’s mystery role in Spider-Man 4.

Lot to cover, lots of opinions—let’s get into it.
