⭐ Episode Summary
This week on Distance NERDing, Phil and Jen run the ship duo-style—no Jahmez, no brakes, maximum chaos. We dive into Black Panther 3, Daredevil drama, Jimmy Olsen getting promoted, Star Wars news overload, The Mandalorian’s future, Ryan Gosling in space (again), and why Bob Iger needs an instruction manual before approving anything. We also debate Batman’s height (again), predict Secret Wars madness, and pitch a Distance Nerding CAR that comes with a free towel—because we’re classy like that.
