This week on Geek Freaks, Frank, Thomas, and Jonathan unpack Marvel’s Ironheart—what works, what doesn’t, and why it feels like a throwback to the Chapek-era MCU. We also dig into the next James Bond casting rumors and the newly announced director Denis Villeneuve, reflect on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 35th anniversary return to theaters, and break down the New York Times Top 100 Movies list.
