Episode 100 - can you believe it?! 100 whole episodes of... this. To celebrate 100 episodes, we're back with a special watchalong of a film we love to meme on, Batman & Robin staring George Clooney, Chris O'DonnellBởi The Newplex

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 …

How much Marky Mark Wallberg is too much Marky Mark Wallberg? That is a question we will endeavour to answer in this week's episode of The Newplex Podcast.

Welcome back! It's the first pod of 2022, and the gang are catching up on their festive activities.

As with any New Year, it's a chance for reflection, and we chat about what work/life balance should…

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…

Spoilers for No Time To Die inside, you have been warned!Bởi The Newplex

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 y…

Plus, if you're confused by the DC movie timeline, you're not the only one - Jads is here to fail to answer your questions.…

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+ serie…

We're "reviewing" Zack Snyder's newest Netflix film Army of the Dead this week, but not before we ponder divine intervention, Urban Outfitters, and Charlie's tramlines. Also, why haven't Disney invented a real lightsaber yet? Plus this week's Nerdlines.Bởi The Newplex

This is it guys. After 4 years of Jads having some variety of DC rant every single episode, the end is finally here. With the release of Zack Snyder's 4-hour epic version of Justice League, the era of Jads rants comes to an end. But after all the hype, did the team enjoy the film? Also this week: getting bullied by teachers in primary school, and b…

This week we try and get into the mind of a denim-clad Christopher Nolan and wonder what his vision was for Batman and ask, regardless of the amount of denim, were these films ever really 'grounded', as proponents claim. Plus, we nerd out over WandaVision and ask: will this show have a happy ending?Bởi The Newplex

Welcome back to the Chillcast, where this week low-energy Jads and the gang are sharing their favourite moments from WandaVision so far & looking forward to where this crazy train is stopping next.

Let me level with you: It's been a slow news week in the nerd culture world, and we were worried we'd have nothing to talk about in this ep - so we decided to wing it. In the event, we had *so* much to talk about it took us 20 mins to get onto the Nerdlines... So this week we're talking the CW/Arrowverse of DC TV shows, James Gunn & John Cena's upc…

We've returned to lockdown, so this week the pod is being recorded from home (just like old times). Please forgive the sound of creaky doors, ice cream vans, or the industrial woodcutter as we navigate our new setup - but the takes are hot and the memes are hotter, don't you worry. This week: who will replace (if anyone) Johnny Depp as Grindelwald?…

On this week's pod, we're catching up on the good stuff on TV: Strictly Come Dancing returns and Jads reviews Sex Education series 2. Also this week, we pose the following questions: Should Jads get a tattoo? Is Tom Holland right for the Uncharted movie? Is John Cena as much of a nightmare as Total Bellas makes him seem?

What a difference a chair can make. In the never-ending saga of finding covid-safe spaces to record in, we find ourselves in some very comfortable, reclining chairs this week which leads to a very chilled out conversation. This episode, we're asking if it's fair to blame Bond's delay to 2021 for Cineworld shuttering their business. Also, more on Ma…

The Academy has complained again this year that viewership is down for the televised Oscars ceremony, but in a Newplex office full of film fans, not one us tuned in...

SPOILERS! In this week's very NSFW Newplex Podcast, the gang open by reading some listener mail including the cringiest homemade erotica ever. Then it's onto chat around the latest DC movie, Birds of Prey, starring Margot Robbie returning as Harley Quinn. How does the latest offering in the troubled Worlds of DC cinematic universe compare, and does…

The pre-filled text in this box is telling me "hook [your] listeners in with a great description of the episode", but I'm not sure if there any words in the limited English lexicon that would allow me to sufficiently communicate the cornucopia of calamity that is this, the first Newplex Podcast episode of 2020. What is the difference between Netfli…

MERRY CHRISTMAS! Nearly the whole gang, including the newest Newplex member, is on deck for this festive special of The Newplex Podcast.

It's another week stacked full of movie trailers, my dudes. As Jads and Charles sat waiting patiently for the Wonder Woman 84 trailer that sadly didn't come out in time for this episode, we were instead treated to pretty epic trailers for what will likely be some of 2020's biggest blockbusters. There's a surprise return rumoured for Black Widow, Da…

With Fox now fully absorbed into the Disney pile (ew), Mutants can finally be brought into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But with so many characters, stories, and awkward explanations for where they've been this whole time, what is the best way to phase these characters into the biggest movie franchise in the world? Jads and Charles dig into five …

Team Newplex member Conor had a big week with the hugely successful debut of his brand new improv comedy show, Level Up. Naturally, Jads, JOPO, and Charles took a road trip (via train - a rail trip?) to support their boy, and this pod is the story of that epic journey. It was the gang's first experience of improv, and Conor & Co. did not dissapoint…

A lot of trailers came out this week, and Jads and Charles are going to review them all! Universal's latest entry into its Dark Universe (which is apparently still a thing), The Invisible Man, sends Jads into an anti-Tom Cruise rage to kick us off.

How many tangents can two Newplex members go on and still work their way back to the original conversation? That's a question we'll fail to answer on this week's Newplex Podcast, where a slow news week leads to some of the most random sidetracks you couldn't imagine. Plus, we recall the epic journey that lead to this week's Tracks of the Week, and …

SophieMags joins Jads and Charles for this spooky edition of The Newplex Podcast. Because of a strange time warp that occurs with how these episodes are done, we have in fact overshot by a few days and landed on Nov 4th - with the run-up to Christmas now firmly (and cynically) underway. Still, let's not let a small matter like time spoil our fun! T…

This week finally saw release of the final trailer for the final film in the Skywalker Star Wars saga, finally. The trailer gave little away in terms of plot, but did it do enough to get Jads and Charles hyped for this final film in this new trilogy? It's been a rocky road to get here - and sadly we're not talking about the delicious dessert. Also …

How does a catchy Seal song spring a whole week of Batman obsession? When that Seal song is 'Kiss From a Rose' of course! After hearing the soulful stomper at the latest Newplex dinner party, Jads, Charles, and JOPO were instantly compelled to watch Batman Forever, which brings us to this podcast today. But that's not all, on this week's Newplex Po…
