The Team Newplex Podcast

This episode... got away from us. Sorry. Jads, JOPO, Charles, and Ben talk Alaskan Bush people, Dog the Bounty Hunter, Bruce Lee philosophy, and just *so* much shit. Enjoy!

On this week's episode of the Team Newplex Podcast, Jads, Charles, and JOPO go through each of the Phase 4 (and the few Phase 5) Marvel Cinematic Universe movies announced during last week's San Diego Comic Con panel, and give an "excitedness" rating for the upcoming films. Between Black Widow and Doctor Strange, Shang Chi and Thor - find out what the gang is and is not hyped for in the coming years of the MCU.

Things quickly decent into chaos as we welcome special guest Flynn Burden - pro wrestler and temporary compare extraordinaire - joins Jads, Charles, and JOPO for this week's episode of the Team Newplex Podcast. Flynn talks about his YouTube show and new podcast, Boyz in the Hood, as well as wrestling, his injury, and becoming an MC alongside his foxy companion Clarence. Plus Jads tries to talk about James Bond and fails miserably.

Jads and Charles are on deck to talk about the only thing that matters in the nerdyverse this week, Spider-Man: Far From Home! The fellas review the latest MCU movie, which is the last of Phase 3, sharing their favourite moments, breaking down the story, and pondering where Spidey and Marvel are going next. Be warned, there are major SPOILERS in the second half of this episode of the Team Newplex Podcast!

Jads, Charles, and JOPO demonstrate a shocking lack of basic history to open up this episode of the Team Newplex Podcast (sorry Ben). Also this week, are WWE producing their own competition's fan base? JOPO confesses a shameful love for a despicable movie star, Disney finds its Ariel for the Little Mermaid live action remake, and we ask the hard-hitting question: If you could replace all your food with sci-fi nutrition pills and never eat again, would you?

Jads, Charles, and Ben look at the lineup for this year's Glastonbury which takes us on a half-show-long tangent on all things music in this week's episode of the Team Newplex Podcast. In fact the only item on the agenda we do manage to cover is the news of Eric Bischoff and Paul Heyman's appointments as heads of SmackDown and Raw respectively. Will it really shake up an ailing WWE product, or is it just another on-screen gimmick? Plus, Jads reviews Solo.

Men In Black: International and Rocketman get reviewed in this week's episode of the Team Newplex Podcast, Plus, Jads, JOPO, Charles, and Ben, discuss "corporate wokeness" in movies, Star Wars: Solo, and we make a first stab at recasting Wolverine for the MCU.

Well, as promised the gang went to see X-Men: Dark Phoenix this week and - actually - it wasn't half bad. Jads, JOPO, and Charles bring you their spoiler-filled review, and try to explain how the last of Fox's X-Men movies fits into all the other (mercifully, it doesn't). Plus we have all the latest gaming news from E3, and it's a very warm welcome back to our pal from across the pond, Ben!

Ah, the X-Men movie timeline. What is it? When is it? And how is it? These are the questions we won't even come close to answering in this episode of the Team Newplex Podcast, but JOPO seems to have a handle on it so let's just go along with that ahead of the new Dark Phoenix movie. Also this week, serial killer sons of Eastenders, Robert Battinson confirmed, and Jon Moxley makes his way to New Japan, and we chat the Django/Zorro Tarantino movie.

Jads and JOPO chat all things AEW Double or Nothing to open this episode of the Team Newplex Podcast. We're talking favourite matches, best moments, and doing everything in our power not to compare it to WWE (and failing miserably). After that, we wake up Charles to talk about Dark Phoenix - and how the ending was reshot - and we break down the complicated notion of the "social contract" (incorrectly).

The gang chat about Vanity Fair's exclusive Star Wars: Episode IX photos to open this week's edition of the Team Newplex Podcast. Plus, Jads introduces his new segment "An Idiot Tries to do Film Theory", and we remember Micheal Sheen's wondrous Twilight laugh. Speaking off Twilight, rumour has it Edward Cullen himself (Robert Battinson) is set to play Batman in the upcoming Matt Reeve's film. Yup, it's another Jads cries over DC episode...

The latest from AEW kicks off this episode of the Team Newplex Podcast with Jads and Charles. Listen in amazement as Jads takes us on a tangent about the differences between American and British television delivery systems which lasts far longer than the AEW news itself. Also this week, Jads' Pokémon: Detective Pikachu review, The Matrix 4, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss' Star Wars movies, and a Harry Potter-inspired fan-theory for how Theon Greyjoy could regain his wang...

Not to toot or own horns or anything, but we just keep nailing these Marvel Cinematic Universe theories, huh? The spoiler-laden trailer for Spider-Man: Far From Home has dropped, and it seems to confirm pretty much everything we guessed about the all-new MCU multiverse. Also on this episode, Jads, JOPO, and Charles talk AEW's ITV partnership, and the now infamous Sonic the Hedgehog trailer.

Jads and Charles host as they reel from the colossal events of Avengers: Endgame. But it looks like Marvel still ain't done yet, as we look back at our multiverse theory and see if it still stacks up (it does)...

Last week saw the trailer and title reveal for Star Wars Episode IX (The Rise of Skywalker) which gives Jads, JOPO, and Charles plenty to talk about in this second-take edition of the Team Newplex Podcast. We discuss our favourite theories, including an insane Palpatine AI (aka Pappa Palps), the return of Anakin, and Force tai chi. We also cover Disney+ series The Mandalorian, and EA's promising new game, Jedi: The Fallen Order.

Jads, JOPO, and Ben get hyped up for WrestleMania 35 in this bonus episode of the Team Newplex Podcast. There's a hell of a lot of awesome wrestling to talk about, but - owing to time - we're just covering the incredible-looking NXT TakeOver: New York and the... long WrestleMania 35. The gang also reacts to the John Oliver piece on WWE from Last Week Tonight, and we look forward to some surprises on this year's Showcase of the Immortals.

The gang are joined by professional wrestler, promoter, and action performer Olly Lloyd to chat the latest in the nerdy news. Disney reveals Deadpool is the only Fox Marvel franchise they plan to keep, James Gunn returns to direct Guardians of the Galaxy 3 while still going ahead with DC's strange Suicide Squad reboot - and in the meantime, Batista returns to WWE. Plus there's a new trailer for Avengers Endgame, and Olly tells us his new wrestling company.

SPOILERS! Jads, JOPO, and Charles paid their local multiplex a visit last week to see the latest *Blockbuster* (lol) from Marvel Studios, the terribly named Captain Marvel, starring Brie Larson, Samuel L Jackson, and Ben Mendelsohn! Find out what the gang thought of Marvel's latest offering in this special edition of the Team Newplex Podcast.

Jads, Charles, and JOPO talk Star Wars prequels, Ready Player One, ugly modern cars, WWE's ECW revival, Arrow's announced ending and looking ahead to Captain Marvel (which we've not seen yet). Also, Jads and Charles pitch their idea for an amazing new TV show (coming soon to Netflix...). Also, listen out for details of our awesome AEW Double or Nothing ticket giveaway!

This week on the Team Newplex Podcast, Jads, Charles, and JOPO discuss Captain Marvel, how to fix the Power Rangers movie franchise, Aquaman 2, WWE's recent leavers, and the Paige movie (Fighting with my Family). Plus, we reveal our epic giveaway competition: A TICKET FOR AEW DOUBLE OR NOTHING! Listen to find out how to enter, and visit TheNewplex.com for all the details!
