    Wonder Man Episode 8 Yucca Valley Review
    Feb 20 2026
    The finale has rolled around as Derek, John and Chris talk through Wonder Man Episode 8 'Yucca Valley'. A great capper on a fantastic season, with a movie premiere and a true show of friendship. Make sure you've watched the episode before joining us for our chat.Wonder Man Episode 8 'Yucca Valley' DetailsExecutive Producers are Kevin Feige, Stephen Broussard, Jonathan Schwartz, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Destin Daniel Cretton, Andrew GuestDirected by Stella MeghieWritten by Andrew GuestEpisode Synopsis:Following the huge explosion he caused on the Wonder Man set, Simon returns to his apartment assuming that he will be caught by the Department of Damage Control. He instinctively phones his mum to tell her he loves her.But Trevor Slattery calls him to apologise and says he has a solution: He revives his Mandarin persona and publicly claims responsibility for the explosion. No one ever saw that coming.Agent Cleary knows that Trevor is just taking the blame for Simon, but goes along with it because the DODC needs more prisoners to justify their expensive Yucca Valley, California prison. Following Trevor's arrest, Director Von Kovak insists they continue filming and tells Simon to use Trevor's betrayal for the scene where Wonder Man is betrayed by Barnaby. Wonder Man is finished with Joe Pantoliano taking over the role of Barnaby and the film is a huge success. At the premiere, his clearly delighted brother Eric tells Simon he’s proud of him. Meanwhile, Janelle tells Simon that he now has his pick of roles for his next project. With his new found fame Simon decides to shadow a DODC guard, Chuck Eastman, who hates his job, under the guise of making a new film. This gives Simon access to the DODC prison under an alias, just as Agent Cleary discovers that Simon's powers use ionic energy and proposes to his boss that Simon could be an asset or a threat. Simon manages to slip his work shadowing Chuck and finds Trevor's cell where he uses his powers to break Trevor out of prison and fly away with him.Wonder Man Episode 8 CastYahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon WilliamsBen Kingsley as Trevor SlatteryX Mayo as JanelleArian Moayed as Agent ClearyZlatko Buric as Von KovakShola Adewusi as Martha WilliamsWonder Man Pub QuizDuring each podcast we'll ask a question about each episode in our Wonder Man Pub Quiz.

    Wonder Man Episode 7 Kathy Friedman Review
    Feb 18 2026
    The full team are back to chat about Wonder Man Episode 7 "Kathy Friedman" as Simon Williams is concerned his secret will be exposed to the world by a journalist but he is not the target. As always we discuss the episode in spoiler filled detail.Wonder Man Episode 7 "Kathy Friedman" DetailsExecutive Producers are Kevin Feige, Stephen Broussard, Jonathan Schwartz, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Destin Daniel Cretton, Andrew GuestDirected by Stella MeghieWritten by Kira Talise and Andrew GuestEpisode Synopsis:Filming on the Wonder Man Movie begins. Simon Williams struggles to be personable with the crew and to communicate his thoughts on the script, but is helped by Trevor Slattery. At a dinner meeting with his team his agent Janelle informs the pair that The New York Times journalist Kathy Friedman is writing a profile on them, terrifying Simon who describes her as a character assassin of the highest order, who could discover and reveal his secret, just like she did with Joseph Gordon Levitt. He becomes paranoid after learning that Friedman talked to his ex-girlfriend Vivian, his mom, and brother Eric about him for her story. Vivian reveals to Simon that she knows he has powers, but she did not say anything about them to Friedman. Still concerned as they sit down for their joint interview with Kathy Friedman the next day, Simon is surprised to learn that Eric only had good things to say and he’s really proud of him. It wasn’t Simon who should have been concerned Kathy Friedman grills Trevor about what happened after his arrest when he returned to US soil and asks him what government deal he cut to avoid returning to prison, prompting him to walk out of the interview. Confronted by Simon, Trevor confesses the truth of his deal with the Department Of Damage Control to spy on Simon but promises that he will find a way to get out of it. Upset and overwhelmed, Simon goes to a Wonder Man soundstage and unleashes a large explosion that destroys the set.Wonder Man Episode 6 CastYahya Abdul-Mateen II as Simon WilliamsBen Kingsley as Trevor SlatteryX Mayo as JanelleOlivia Thirlby as VivianArian Moayed as Agent ClearyZlatko Buric as Von KovakShola Adewusi as Martha Williamswith Lauren Weedman as Kathy FriedmanWonder Man Pub QuizDuring each podcast we'll ask a question about each episode in our Wonder Man Pub Quiz.

    Wonder Man Episode 6 Call Back Review
    Feb 13 2026

    John and Derek chat all about Wonder Man Episode 6 "Call Back" as Simon worries about how he is perceived and Trevor has a go at jazz accompaniment at their Wonder Man call back with Von Kovak. As always we discuss the episode in spoiler filled detail.

    Wonder Man Episode 6 "Call Back" Details

    Executive Producers are Kevin Feige, Stephen Broussard, Jonathan Schwartz, Louis D’Esposito, Brad Winderbaum, Destin Daniel Cretton, Andrew Guest

    Directed by Tiffany Johnson

    Written by Roja Gashtili & Julia Lerman and Andrew Guest

    Episode Synopsis:

    Simon Williams and Trevor Slattery immediately drive to director Von Kovak's mansion for the callback, joining other actors in the running for Wonder Man and Barnaby.

    Exhausted and lacking sleep, Simon is paranoid as the callback begins. Kovak pairs the actors with one another for chemistry tests via improvisational exercises. While Trevor impresses the group, Simon falters with his improv skills. Simon confides in Trevor that he is nervous about Von Kovak pushing him to expose himself, but Trevor encourages him that he is more than his powers.

    Simon and Trevor are finally paired together, which impresses Kovak so much he casts them both in the lead roles.

    After being dropped off home by Simon, Trevor is picked up by the DODC for failing to apprehend Simon, but Trevor says he's almost there and begs them to give him more time.
