Shifting from political theater to cinematic nostalgia, the hosts critique the latest trailers for <strong>Darth Maul: Shadow Lord</strong> and the new <strong>Masters of the Universe</strong> movie, while lamenting the state of Star Wars under the rumored exit of <strong>Kathleen Kennedy</strong>. Between debating the ethics of murdering baby Hitler and exposing a "fake" Starship Troopers trailer, the guys question if any legacy franchise can truly be saved from "remix culture".</p><p>Key Takeaways</p><ul><li><p><strong>The Candace Owens Mystery</strong>: The hosts discuss Candace Owens' recent claims that the late Charlie Kirk visited her in dreams to explain his assassination and his supposed status as a "time traveler".</p><p><br></p></li><li><p><strong>Star Wars Leadership Shakeup</strong>: There is heavy discussion surrounding rumors of Kathleen Kennedy stepping down from Lucasfilm and being replaced by Dave Filoni and Carrie Beck.</p><p><br></p></li><li><p><strong>Trailer Watch - He-Man</strong>: The new Masters of the Universe trailer receives mixed reactions; the hosts love the "Eternia" visuals but "absolutely hate" the inclusion of Earth-based plotlines intended to mimic the Barbie movie's success.</p><p><br></p></li><li><p><strong>The "Shadow Lord" Disappointment</strong>: While the animation for the new Darth Maul series is "enhanced," the hosts express disappointment that it isn't live-action and feels like a rehash of the "Lord of the Underworld" plot from Clone Wars.</p><p><br></p></li></ul><li><ul><li><strong>The Starship Troopers "Prank"</strong>: The hosts realized mid-segment that the "new" Starship Troopers trailer they were watching was actually a parody or game-related project featuring Casper Van Dien, not a new feature film.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Check Out Rizz Radio!<a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbUtieFZoT29uaGlBbTBnejVYQnByLVo3dkVVQXxBQ3Jtc0trNWtJaFBpV2xydkVQZ3ZJX3pGMW4ybTdjM2tILVNCa3puaW5PQ0hfMURGU0JMaWY2dncxandkaC1tWV9mdXNENms4VTV1d19HUlNTRXZYMGdDVFBTLWw0VHg2bVVXVUZyQ0otM1U3QVRKOTVnLUhDZw&q=https%3A%2F%2Frizzradio.com%2F&v=assQgJmYPsY" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://rizzradio.com/</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbXh5LXRwcUc2TzVSNnJJUTR6eVNyTDVGWXFCd3xBQ3Jtc0trY0wza1E5MzRGX0RWeDdHSE9JVWRIbk1zT1Zaem41Z2xwSzhHU0NOczNvT012b3FvUU45c0kzcXFWYkh1SEQyemYzenRQWDBrTXFUb1dpcWpyaDJMc3hvT2dQOWdoNmlOeWtUNjlEcURDTWJJOGdpRQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Frizzradio%2F&v=assQgJmYPsY" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> / rizzradio </a></p></li><p><br></p>

Return of the Fanboy's
<p>"I think I fell in love with a lesbian. I think that’s pretty much the top tier story of my life." — The Fat Mantis </p><p><br></p><p>The Fat Mantis and Steve kick off the first episode of 2026 by shaking off a brief hiatus and diving headfirst into the latest wave of nerd culture hype. The duo explores the surprising success of Predator: Badlands on VOD before dissecting the massive trailer leaks for Avengers: Doomsday that "scammed" their way into theaters via Avatar 3. From the long-awaited "nineties glory" of Scott Summers' comic-accurate costume to the controversial timeline implications of Steve Rogers' return, the hosts debate whether the MCU is finally finding its footing again. They also touch on the "geriatric" status of Professor X and Magneto, potential Dr. Doom origins, and their shared hope that the X-Men aren't just reduced to a glorified cameo.</p><p><u>Key Takeaways</u></p><ul><li><p><strong>Predator: Badlands Defies the "Flop" Narrative</strong>: Despite internet rumors of it being a Disney disaster, the hosts note it is currently the number one VOD title and successfully made its money back.</p><p><br></p></li><li><p><strong>The X-Men Reveal Steals the Show</strong>: The reveal of James Marsden’s Scott Summers in a comic-accurate blue and gold uniform is the highlight of the new trailers for both the hosts and the chat.</p><p><br></p></li><li><p><strong>The "Avatar" Trailer Strategy</strong>: The hosts discuss how Marvel tried to drive "butts in seats" for Avatar 3 by offering exclusive trailers, only for them to be immediately leaked and cleaned up by AI for the general public.</p><p><br></p></li><li><p><strong>Steve Rogers and the Timeline Controversy</strong>: The episode touches on the debate surrounding Steve Rogers marrying Peggy Carter, with some fans arguing he "stole" another man's future while others believe he deserved his reward.</p><p><br></p></li><li><p><strong>Cringe Plotlines to Avoid</strong>: The hosts express strong distaste for plotlines involving the abduction of children, specifically criticizing recent trends in Stranger Things and potential "Doom stealing children" rumors in the MCU.</p><p><br></p></li></ul><p><u>Check Out Rizz Radio!</u></p><p><a href="https://rizzradio.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://rizzradio.com/</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/rizzradio/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">https://www.instagram.com/rizzradio/</a></p>

REMEMBERING CHARLIE KIRK
<p>“Political assassination is wrong. Full stop.” -Steve, Real Name No Gimmicks-The Fat Mantis and Steve return for a raw, faith-forward conversation in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. They unpack their grief and shock, push back on the online celebration of violence, and examine how clipped, out-of-context videos and polarized narratives fuel dehumanization. The hosts wrestle with the tension between Christian conviction and political debate, caution against retaliatory extremism, and call for accountability, empathy, and truth-seeking—without surrendering to rage.The follow-up segment pivots into urban crime and policy: National Guard deployments (Memphis/Chicago), “prevention vs. enforcement,” bail reform, and how “ultra-mercy” policies can embolden criminals. Episode Takeaways-How dehumanizing rhetoric and “victory-lap” reactions normalize violence—and why that’s dangerous for everyone.-Media-literacy check: how clipped quotes and context-stripping manufacture false narratives.-Faith vs. politics: a Christian framework for mourning, empathy, and resisting vengeance.-“Consequence culture” vs. revenge: drawing ethical lines for public accountability.-Conspiracy vs. incompetence: skepticism about single-actor narratives; caution around unverified “texts” and claims.-Practical guardrails for listeners: grieve honestly, verify before sharing, refuse to applaud harm, and engage people—not caricatures.Connect with Steve:https://www.instagram.com/theholduptvConnect with The Fat Mantis:https://www.instagram.com/the_fat_mantis/https://x.com/Hot_Mantis_95Connect with Rizz Radio:https://rizzradio.com/https://www.instagram.com/rizzradio/https://www.tiktok.com/@rizz.radio</p>
