Corral lot with Timothy Olyphant as Wyatt Earp and Don Johnson as Doc Holliday.

Then, Bill Hader shines as Abraham Lincoln in the Oval Office and Ford's Theatre, trying to duck out on a five-cent Appomattox spelling bet while dealing with a missing yellow scarf. Kathryn Hahn brings unhinged energy as Mary Todd Lincoln in full grief mode, Seth Morris demands White House evictions as a suspicious Andrew Johnson, and Jay Renshaw makes a brief, awkward hallway bump as John Wilkes Booth.

Clay(face) N. Ferno and Matt (Hagan) Dursin react to the trailer for DC Studios' Clayface. Since the villain is literally actor Matt Hagen transforming into Clayface, host Clay N. Ferno and Matt Dursin realized their entire lives—and 50 years of comic history—have led to this single reaction video. Fresh off their Supergirl episode, the guys break down the body horror, the Vanilla Sky acne treatments, cuticle clippers, and how James Gunn's dark Gotham standalone stacks up.

The League welcomes Jaush back to tackle one of the biggest superhero movies of the year: Supergirl (2026). Clay, Dursin, and Jaush break down Milly Alcock's performance as Kara Zor-El, Craig Gillespie's direction, Ana Nogueira's screenplay, the relationship between Kara and Ruthye, the film's emotional core, spectacular cosmic visuals, and its place in James Gunn's new DC Universe. The biggest conversation, however, is Jason Momoa's debut as Lobo. After years of fan speculation, Momoa finally gets to play the Czarnian bounty hunter, bringing the Main Man's attitude, humor, and brutal style to the big screen. The guys discuss whether Lobo steals every scene he's in, how faithful the character is to the comics, and where he could appear next in the DC Universe. Plus, the League talks Superman connections, favorite moments, comic book influences, surprises, Easter eggs, and whether Supergirl lives up to the hype. Find out what the "S" really stands for.

Clay and Dursin sit down with Chris to look back at his 25-year legacy starting with the premiere of Adult Swim, the early message board days of Sealab 2021, and the explosion of nerd culture from a private bedroom experience into a mainstream convention phenomenon.

In this freeform edition of League Podcast, Matt Dursin and Clay Ferno hang out in the "I Think This Is Great" studio to talk shop about the overwhelming task of downsizing a comic book collection. Clay opens up about the mental block of cataloging decades of books, while Matt offers up practical advice from his own experience selling on platforms like Mercari and eBay. The guys also treat viewers to a live unboxing of the Marvel Unlimited Annual Plus member kit. They sort through a treasure trove of Doctor Doom and Fantastic Four-themed collectibles—including an exclusive Jessica Drew Spider-Woman variant action figure, a Retro NASA-inspired Future Foundation patch, and a slightly dinged copy of One World Under Doom #1. Plus, they share their thoughts on the MCU's recent big-screen offerings and marvel at the return of digital comic codes.

The League returns to take on The Nice Guys with Russell Crowe and our crush, Ryan Gosling, and a young lady. A porno young lady. Dursin swears he watched it. Set in 1970s Los Angeles, The Nice Guys is Shane Black's criminally underrated neo-noir comedy that somehow never got the blockbuster love it deserved. Clay and Dursin break down the buddy dynamic between Crowe's bruiser Jackson Healy and Gosling's gloriously incompetent Holland March — including the falls, the screams, the toilet gun standoff, and every moment Gosling commits so hard to physical comedy that it borders on performance art. They also get into why the film's satirical jabs at the porn industry, the Detroit auto lobby, and Nixon-era corruption still land fifty years later. Beyond the slapstick and the sleaze, the guys dive deep into the film's cult status and why a proper sequel to this masterpiece remains one of Hollywood's biggest missed opportunities. They look back at the incredible breakout performance of Angourie Rice as Holly, the sharp-as-a-tack script that perfectly blends dark detective tropes with laugh-out-loud absurdity, and how Shane Black managed to capture lightning in a bottle by pairing an old-school tough guy with a master of modern comedic timing. Clay has questions. The truth, as always, lies somewhere in a swimming pool with Richard Nixon.
