In Episode 129, after a week off, we jump back into the action with a lively discussion. We kick things off by analyzing the teaser trailer for "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice" and sharing our thoughts on the possibility of a "Happy Gilmore 2." But that's not all—our fan-favorite segment, the Florida Man Game, makes its triumphant return, bringing laughter and absurdity to the show. In the realm of Geek News, we dissect the trailer for "The Penguin" limited series, delve into the reaction to "X-Men 97" and reminisce about our rewatch of the original series. We also take a look at the trailer for the video game "Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra" and share our thoughts, before diving into a discussion about the worst comic book movies according to reviews. To cap it off, we discuss Sony's theatrical re-release of all the live-action Spider-Man movies, rounding out the episode with excitement and anticipation. Stay tuned for more engaging discussions and thrilling insights in future episodes! #OpenCollarPodcast #PodcastRecap #Episode129
