🧠 Episode Summary

This live-recorded chapter of Distance NERDing goes full multiverse chaos as the crew breaks down Marvel, DC, and everything in between with tacos in their bellies and zero chill in their hearts. We debate Joe Keery’s possible MCU future, pour one out for Blade (again), and officially coin the term “Hot Topic Avengers” for the goth side of the superhero universe. Doctor Doom is apparently running a multiversal daycare, Wakanda’s future looks spicy, and Sebastian Stan might be collecting comic book characters like Infinity Stones. Add in surprise Disney casting, DC rumors, Netflix renewals, and enough jokes to make the algorithm blush, and you’ve got one of our nerdiest chapters yet.

Yes, Doom goes “I tricked you.” No, we will not apologize.
