The Guys have covered summer grilling, but what to do in between meals? Go to the movie theater, of course.

Robbie and Jay take a journey through 2026 and talk upcoming movies of interest: expectations, scheduling, fake trailers, and more. From Masters of the Universe through Dunes-Dooms-Day, 2026 could be a big year for movies on The Guys’ radar…or not. There is hope that Masters and Supergirl will be fun, Spider-Man will be a brand new day indeed, Dune will be worth the length, and Doomsday will continue to bring cred back to the MCU. And who is this Clayface dude?

Meanwhile, in Arizona, Val Kilmer comes back to the screen via AI, and there is chatter of a return of the Firefly in animated form. Art is out somewhere actively trying to retire from his day job so he can pursue his dream of being the first ever guitar-playing pod-cartoonist, but in his absence, Robbie and Jay carry on the obits segment with breaking news of the loss of the toughest man in show business: Chuck Norris. Listen with calendar in hand!

G’day Sers and Ladies!

This episode of Guys of a Certain Kingdom is brought to you by a famous donut chain and the incredible, edible (and apparently “unlikely”) chicken product - Dunk'n Egg. These are the stars of the podcast today, followed in lesser brightness by minor stars Robbie and Jay, who are making do while Art continues to celebrate retirement from his day job. A Knight of the 7 Kingdoms is the topic, and it comes highly recommended by The Guys for its characters, stand-aloneness, brevity, and leave-you-wanting more factor. Even Westeros novices like Jay who just like an underdog in a jousting match will enjoy this one.

WIth food always on the brain, and a vision for using a hundred-plus cookbooks that he already owns, Jay talks about the CookShelf app that is sure to revolutionize his recipe searches and rationalize al the space those cookbooks take up in his kitchen. Robbie keeps the Westeros theme going with the announcement of a GoT movie with origin story vibes, and an update on who’s buying who in the visual media world.

Don your best armor and listen, lest the dogs be sent after you.

He’s baaaack. But don’t be afraid! It’s not Jason, it’s Wes Shelton.

Back for the umpteenth time and The Guys are always happy to have him. It’s springtime at the studio, which means there was a frost last week, and Jay is baring his pale legs in shorts this week. Mississippi listeners understand. Since spring in Mississippi can be like summer anywhere else (minus the frost, perhaps), The Guys are already preparing for grilling season. But what does “prep” actually mean when it comes to the equipment? That’s why they call on Wes, Griller of a Certain Age and expert in all things outdoor cooking. Wes has tips for all the grills, and even a few tips on some new party foods that are bound to please everyone at your Guys of a Certain Age summer binge-listening cookout.

Also in this episode, Jay is overwhelmed a bit by all the movie and tv trailers that came out this week, because it means there are even more things he wants to watch. Robbie is watching the same number of screens, but it’s all on Apple TV’s F1 race coverage. Plenty to watch, plenty to listen to, plenty of time to get your grill ready for summer.

It’s a nerd! It’s a plane! Nope - it’s an actor.

An actor who happens to have super powers. Or a superhero who happens to be an actor. Either way, it’s Wonder Man, Marvel’s latest streaming series. The Guys all recommend it, but be aware: this is not your typical superhero show. People with powers? check. Sidekicks with witty repartee? check. Dastardly villains? It kinda depends on how you look at it. But it also has celebrity cameos, family drama, and a genuine Knight Bachelor who steals the show. And it’s easily binge-able so go binge it before you listen, because spoilers abound.

Geeks of the Week get special recognition this week as one of The Guys is now an official Apple Developer (hint: it’s not Jay.) Robbie throws a Hail Mary (but not under the bus), Art quotes one rogue director, and Jay takes over the obits department this week, honoring one of the most famous nerds in Holly-Nerd history. This episode is a true wonder.

Ya’ know how Jay is always Geek-of-the-Weeking about travel spots he’d love to go to but probably never will? (At least until the right SPONSOR comes along…) Well, this week it’s the other way around - he’s telling Art (and all the listeners, of course) about his recent trip to the edge of the galaxy. Or more specifically, Galaxy’s Edge. At Walt Disney World, in Florida - not outer space. (Though there are similarities.)

He reviews the Rise of the Resistance. gives tasting notes on his Ronto Wrap and blue milk, recounts his granddaughter’s summons to The Way, and calculates the ratio between time spent in line vs time actually on a ride. It’s not a hopeful number, but a good time was had by all, anyway.

In this week’s Geeks, it’s trailer time: Spider-Noir and the full (we think) Supergirl. It looks to be a fun spring and summer for superhero fans. Unless you are the regrettable supervillains known as Death Battalion. If that’s the case, beware of Mr. Scarlet and (cringe…) Pinky.

Just when you thought things couldn't get any stranger, Robbie and Art discuss the final season of Netflix's hit series, Stranger Things, starring a group of kids who are almost old enough to qualify as hosts of our podcast. Was it a satisfying conclusion to the series? Who are the breakout stars? Hear our thoughts on this episode or face the wrath of Vecna.

Before this episode gets too regrettable—even villainous—The Guys bring news from the world of geekdom.

Art joins Jay's travel planning service and suggests a Disney-Star Trek (you read that right: Trek, not Wars) mashup show somewhere in Seattle. Robbie asks Siri about her underlying software and, after a virtual slap, she confesses that she's now Googling it. Jay reveals the source of the face behind Yoda and discovers a makeup artist who might just have the highest Geek Index yet. But go away, you should not.

After a brief respite, Jay is back with a Regrettable Roundup of Supervillains you've probably never heard of and will likely soon forget: Bloor, Brickbat, and Colossus. Oh my. Watch out for sketchy want ads, flying gaseous bricks, and Plantaliens.

With the announcement of Apple TV’s recent agreement to make movies and TV (and probably some money) based on Brandon Sanderson’s prolific fantasy books, the attention of The Guys turns to the only streaming service that tastes good ala mode.

Whilst they wait for the Mistborn movie to arrive, there is plenty more to watch that is already beloved. Ted Lasso is coming back, For All Mankind returns, and some of us haven’t even watched Pluribus yet. Apple TV seems the place to be for geeks, with or without the Plus.

In Geeks of the Week, Jay - who declared himself “Lord of the Guys” - tells of a classic coming to the BBC but isn’t sure how to watch it from the USA. Robbie catches everyone up on the 2025 list of movies the Library of Congress thinks they should watch. And Art shares news of the passing of comics artist Sal Buscema. Grab a piece of hot apple pie and listen.
