In this issue of The Comic Section Podcast, we kick things off with our Breaking News/Headlines segment, covering the latest buzz in entertainment:

• Hudson Thames, the voice of Spider-Man in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, recently opened up about his initial concerns over the show being “annoying and woke” but was ultimately impressed by the script. We discuss his comments and what they could mean for the series.
• Anthony Mackie’s viral statement about Captain America sparked heated debates online. Mackie shared his belief that Cap should represent honor, dignity, and integrity rather than just America itself, leading to strong reactions from fans. He has since clarified his stance—without walking anything back. We break it all down.
• Netflix’s One Piece Season 2 is officially set to premiere later this year, as subtly revealed in a LEGO collaboration announcement. We talk about what this means for the live-action adaptation and what we hope to see next.
• Lanterns, the upcoming DCU series, will feature Kyle Chandler as Hal Jordan and Aaron Pierre as John Stewart. Actress Poorna Jagannathan recently hinted that production is set to begin soon, giving us an idea of the release window. We discuss what this series could bring to James Gunn’s DCU.

In our Coming Soon/Preview segment, we take a look at the latest trailer for Sinners, directed by Ryan Coogler and starring Michael B. Jordan.

And finally, in our Review segment:

• Ant reviews The People’s Joker,
• Rigel reviews Challengers, Flow, and Venom: The Last Dance.
