Can you believe we're only one away from our centenary episode? But before that, here on episode 99, we're getting into The Batman! Lots to talk about, including a lot of very random non-Batman stuff (like plastic surgery, and should we all get it?). I remember there being chuckles but I can't actually recall what we talked about so we'll all just have to find out together. Enjoy!

This week on the Newplex pod, we're looking at the behind the scenes fun from the upcoming DC Batgirl movie and wondering 'What If?' Leonardo DiCaprio had become Robin instead of (beloved) Chris O'Donnell. Plus, now we've all seen Eternals - what did we think? (Jads is gonna have to eat humble pie). Plus, pizza and so much more!

Welcome back! It's the first pod of 2022, and the gang are catching up on their festive activities. We're also talking all the stuff we've watched/read/listened to over the break, including Dune, Strange Adventures, Cobra Kai, Harry Potter, and more! As with any New Year, it's a chance for reflection, and we chat about what work/life balance should look like in 2022. Send in your thoughts @thenewplex to be read out next episode.

This week is a special episode dedicated entirely to reactions from Spider-Man: No Way Home. The gang have all seen it, but what did they think? Were there cheers, jeers, and tears? Or maybe just fears, ...rears, and beers? The rhyme ran out but this discussion shall not! Consider this part one of a conversation that is likely to carry on until the inevitable announcement of the next Spidey trilogy.

We had a lot to cover in this episode. Did we manage to put a dent in any of it? That's for you to decide! Jads and Charles will just sit here and sip expired peppermint tea and chat nonsense in the meantime. On this week's show: fan reaction to Marvel's Eternals, listener mail, and wtf is going with Chris Pratt? Also, this week's Nerdlines.

On this week's pod there is... no movie talk. Not sure why, we had Shang Chi to talk about, but we ended up sharing Jads' skin care knowledge that he has gained after a summer of research and some weirdly in-depth conversation about how school really messes you up lol. Make sure to follow us on Insta for the pics we mention in this ep and send in your own thoughts on anything we discussed @thenewplex

It's such a lovely day, we thought we'd do the pod al fresco - so get ready for some vitamin D and soothing nature sounds (seagulls fighting/copulating). Listen as the glaring heat and direct sunlight (silly us) makes it nearly impossible for Jads to formulate any sort of coherent arguments as we discuss all things Loki, the brand new Disney+ series. The multiverse is here!! Also, this week's Nerdlines.
