Hello and welcome to Bill vs the MCU! Each month your hosts Pop Break Podcasting Director Alex Marcus and Pop Break Editor in Chief Bill Bodkin are taking another step into the wider Marvel Multiverse as the MCU dives deeper into their Multiverse Saga.
Bill & Alex spent all of 2022 rewatching the first four phases of the MCU, and, in the years since, they have covered all of Netflix’s The Defenders Saga, the first four seasons of ABC’s Agents of SHIELD, all 14 films in Fox’s X-Verse, and a collection of Marvel Films from the 2000s.
This month, Alex & Bill are closing out their tour through Marvel Animation with a review of their two major releases in 2025, Eyes of Wakanda & Marvel Zombies.
In this episode, Alex & Bill also announce their 2026 Podding the Spider-Verse miniseries, which kicks off next month with their episode on the Sam Raimi Spider-Man trilogy, and previews the MCU 2026 slate of TV and film projects, including an in depth discussion of how hyped (or not so hyped) they are for each upcoming project.
Come back next month as they kick off their Podding the Spider-Verse miniseries with reviews of Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004), and Spider-Man 3 (2007), now streaming on Disney Plus!
There’s arguably no superhero in existence that has been reimagined, redefined, or reinterpreted more than Batman. No matter how many times he’s been rebooted, audiences are always willing to come back to Gotham City’s greatest defender. With so much Bat content out there, there’s plenty to dissect, analyze, and of course, rank! This podcast is dedicated to a surgical evaluation of Batman’s history, with a focus on ranking several topics in the world of Batman, among other classic Bat themes and characters.
Join hosts Daniel Cohen, Pop Break’s former Film Editor, and Kris Ingersoll, co-host of the Media/Lit podcast, as they bring on several guests every month to share their passion for the one and only Dark Knight. From Adam West to Robert Pattinson, no bat stone will be left unturned. Bottom-line: If you’re a Batman fan, this is required listening.
Well, we have come to the end of 2025, and what a year it was for DC, as we celebrated our theme of World’s Finest with many episodes dedicated to the Man of Steel.
As big as 2025 was though, 2026 for DC is shaping up to be massive! We couldn’t think of a better way to close out 2025 than by looking ahead to 2026.
It’s just Daniel and Kris in the Batcave today, as they break down many exciting projects for DC in 2026, as well as 2027. You know we had to close it out with some of the Matt Reeves The Batman: Part II news.
Aside from Batman, the bat crew break down what to expect with Supergirl, Lanterns, Clayface, and what’s next for Superman in the 2027 announced sequel, Man of Tomorrow!
Oh. They also open the show giving their thoughts on that whole WB-Netflix news, as well as some of the Paramount developments in conjunction with this. It does involve DC, after all. We got to talk about it!
Also, please keep in mind, this was recorded before the Supergirl and Lanterns trailers were dropped.
And…at the end of the show, the duo TEASE next year’s Batman by the Numbers theme! You don’t want to miss it!

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a children’s fantasy film directed Andrew Adamson. It is an adaptation of the novel of the same name, the first published volume in C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia series. It opened in theaters on December 9, 2005.
In the film, Lucy Pevensie (Georgie Henley) and her siblings Peter (William Moseley), Susan (Anna Popplewell), and Edmund (Skandar Keynes) happen upon the mythical realm of Narnia. The four children are destined to aid the wise lion Aslan (Liam Neeson) in his fight against the evil White Witch (Tilda Swinton).
Other characters include Professor Kirke (James Broadbent), Mr. and Mrs. Beaver (Ray Winstone and Dawn French), and Mr. Tumnus (James McAvoy).

It won Best Makeup at the Oscars and was also nominated for Sound Mixing and Visual Effects. It was followed by only two sequels, leaving the film series incomplete.

Welcome to “Not Couple Goals” where co-hosts Allie Nelson and Tyler McCarthy do a deep dive into a different ridiculous romantic thriller from the vantage point of their long-term relationship.
Allie, a TV writer/producer and actress, has an affinity for romantic thrillers, the more salacious the better. Tyler, an entertainment reporter and critic, often finds himself drawn in despite his better judgment. Join them as they explore all the ways it’s possible to love too hard… like WAY too hard.
It’s an all-star episode with a lot of returning players as Allie and Tyler discuss the 1993 movie “Indecent Proposal.” Join the fun as they go through the most Faustian bargain the show has come across yet. You can also hear Allie intellectually complain that there simply wasn’t enough hot steamy sex in this movie while Tyler advocates lying to your partner. It’s a laugh riot about a profoundly upsetting movie!
Special thanks to Mallory Johns for the introduction music.
