🎙️ Episode Summary
In Chapter 247: “And Somehow, Ben Solo Returned”, the Distance Nerding crew dives headfirst into a galaxy of nerd rumors and geeky goodness! From Star Wars clone theories and Scarlet Witch’s mysterious Marvel future to DC’s latest chaos with Batman and Supergirl, no fandom is safe. Plus — He-Man’s comeback, Spider-Man’s new sidekick theories, and the eternal question: who’s paying for all these Labubus?! 🤣
All that, plus tacos on the table, Scottish accents gone rogue, and the funniest “if he dies, he dies” moment this side of Eternia.
