Mediasplode #66 – Our 2026 Academy Awards Picks

Thanks to our awesome Patrons, we’re proud to present another episode of Mediasplode!

What’s a Mediasplode? It’s a monthly special edition show in which we talk about what we are enjoying in media outside of the realm of comic books. It’s like our All Media Year End Round-Up but in a shorter, monthly format.

Note: Time codes are estimates due to dynamic ad insertion by the distributor.
