Here's today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, and the big question on the table is a spicy one: Is Wonder Man actually the cure for superhero fatigue?

Early reviews are in, and Wonder Man is being called the best-reviewed MCU TV series in four years, with critics praising its originality, tone, and willingness to break away from the Marvel formula. Some are even calling it the most refreshing Marvel show since WandaVision—which is no small claim. We break down what's working, why audiences seem to be responding, and whether this could signal a creative turning point for Marvel Studios.

Also on the show, we dive into Spider-Man's future, as Spider-Man: Brand New Day director Destin Daniel Cretton teases a major tonal shift for the next web-slinger outing. What does that mean for Peter Parker, and how different could this movie feel compared to previous MCU Spider-Man films?

Plus, with Super Bowl LX right around the corner, we run through the six blockbuster movie trailers you absolutely can't miss, including what studios are expected to drop and which upcoming films could dominate the conversation heading into 2026.

All that, plus speculation, debate, and plenty of hot takes—let us know in the comments if Wonder Man won you over or if superhero fatigue is still very real for you.
