    Catholic Guilt - A Daredevil Born Again Podcast - Episodes 2, 3, and 4
    Apr 15 2026
    This week on The Marvelists Presents: Catholic Guilt - A Daredevil Born Again Podcast, Peter and Eddie return to the confessional for a triple dose of Hell’s Kitchen intensity as Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 ramps up the stakes. Matt Murdock is in hiding, Wilson Fisk tightens his grip with martial law and the Anti-Vigilante Task Force, and the battle for New York’s soul grows bloodier by the hour. In “Shoot the Moon,” Fisk makes a calculated political play by declaring Matt Murdock “missing” and publicly blaming the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen—while Bullseye (Dex) wrestles with his fractured psyche, showing up at a church and forcing Matt to confront questions of grace, guilt, and whether some monsters can ever truly be redeemed. Karen Page and the growing resistance scramble as the city spirals deeper into darkness. “The Scales & The Sword” delivers major action as Matt teams up with unlikely allies—including the Swordsman (Jack Duquesne)—for a high-stakes prison break at Red Hook. Angela del Toro makes her powerful debut as the new White Tiger, billy clubs clash, and Daredevil’s radar sense is pushed to the limit. But Fisk responds with a brutal counterstrike that sends bodies to the bottom of the East River. Then in “Gloves Off,” the fists fly both literally and figuratively: Bullseye adopts a dangerous new routine, Fisk steps into the ring, and Matt’s internal struggle reaches new heights as he questions whether mercy is a strength or a deadly weakness in a city that’s bleeding out. Peter and Eddie unpack the heavy faith-driven moral dilemmas, the jaw-dropping fight choreography (that Red Hook breakout is next-level), the escalating Fisk-Murdock chess game, and how the series continues to wrestle with sin, forgiveness, redemption, and what it truly means to be a hero in a fallen world. They also discuss the expanding resistance, White Tiger’s arrival, and whether Matt’s hesitation toward Bullseye is noble… or just classic Catholic guilt wrapped in a devil suit. Grab your rosary beads, your nightstick, and maybe something strong from Josie’s. This trio of episodes is heavy, heartfelt, and packed with horns. New episode drops now—hail Mary, full of grace… and full of punches.

    Catholic Guilt: A Daredevil Born Again Podcast - “The Northern Star”
    Mar 29 2026
    This week on the Marvelists spinoff Catholic Guilt, hosts Peter Melnick and Eddie Wilson kick things off with a little housekeeping: celebrating the official announcement that Wonder Man Season 2 is officially happening (Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley are coming back—yes, the bromance continues), geeking out over the brand-new Spider-Man: Brand New Day trailer that just dropped and is already breaking records, and sharing first impressions of the striking teaser poster for the upcoming Marvel Television Special Presentation The Punisher: One Last Kill (Jon Bernthal’s Frank Castle returns May 12 on Disney+—get ready). Then it’s time to dive headfirst into the Man Without Fear’s long-awaited return. Peter and Eddie break down Daredevil: Born Again Season 2, Episode 1 – “The Northern Star,” where a hidden Matt Murdock takes the fight to the East River, infiltrating the cargo ship Northern Star to uncover and disrupt Wilson Fisk’s illegal weapons smuggling operation. From the tense stealth action aboard the vessel and the dramatic sinking that strikes a blow against Fisk’s regime, to the escalating political tensions in a post-martial-law Hell’s Kitchen and the fresh moral dilemmas that hit extra hard for our Catholic-raised crew, they unpack the season premiere’s high-stakes setup, Matt’s ongoing internal struggle, and how the stakes feel even higher this time around. Expect plenty of Catholic guilt-fueled debates on justice versus power, classic Murdock self-flagellation, and the hosts wondering how Matt’s faith (or lack thereof) is going to hold up against Fisk’s authoritarian control and the shadows of his past. Plus, as always: spoilers, tangents, bad puns, and way too much enthusiasm for foggy New York rooftops and billy clubs. New episode of Catholic Guilt drops now—grab your rosary and your nightstick, folks. Daredevil: Born Again Season 2 is back in session.
