Jason and Rosie just got out of a packed early screening of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and their spoiler-free verdict is blunt: this might be the best Spider-Man movie yet. They dig into the chemistry between Tom Holland and Zendaya, Jon Bernthal's turn as the Punisher opposite Holland, and how the film leans into a lonelier, more down-on-his-luck Peter Parker than we've seen before. They also talk cinematography (shot on Kodak, colored by Tom Paul of Drive fame), hand out letter grades to the cast — including Sadie Sink, Jacob Batalon, and Mark Ruffalo — re-rank the Tom Holland trilogy, and throw out their box office predictions.

Jason and Rosie cover a packed episode: Criston Cole is killed in the Riverlands by Black Aly (Alicent Blackwood), Alicent and Helaena are pulled from the Red Keep's walls, and the small council splits over torching Tumbleton, with Daemon and Rhaenyra clashing hard. Lord Borros snubs the queen and sends a mysterious "belt" instead of himself. Rhaenyra's tense reunion with Alicent turns manipulative, Corlys tips off Alyn that Tyland Lannister survived the Gullet, and Aemond insists on leaving Harrenhal to find Vhagar.
