THOR: RAGNAROK Spoilers, Leia vs. Snoke Rumors, and That AMERICAN GODS Premiere

Welcome to Nerdist News Talks Back, our daily show where Jessica Chobot and a panel of guests discuss the latest in pop culture news. Today, we welcome Nerdist’s Managing Editor Alicia Lutes (Fangirling!) and Science Editor Kyle Hill (Because Science) to break down some rumors, spoilers, and of course, everything that’s going on with The Rock. (Why? Because he’s great, duh.)

First up, are General Leia and Supreme Leader Snoke headed for a face-off at the beginning of Star Wars: The Last Jedi? The rumor mill is in full swing for Episode VIII, but our favorite might be the theory that Hayden Christiansen and Yoda show up as Force Ghosts. Plus, we ask the age-old question: is Snoke a tall boy or a smol boy?

Next, we break down the new Thor: Ragnarok LEGO sets that might contain spoilers for the film. Given the nature of our jobs (covering topics like this), do we mind getting spoiled for big movies? If you don’t mind mild spoilers, make sure you check out today’s Nerdist News, which dives even deeper into some Ragnarok clues.

If TV’s more your bag, we’ve got you covered with all our thoughts about that bonkers American Gods premiere. Let us know what you thought of the episode in the comments below!

Lastly, our most important segment: The Rock Talk, a.k.a. when we break down the latest and greatest in Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson news. Come for the updates, stay for the dramatic reading of his Instagram posts.

Stay tuned for more Nerdist News Talks Back, every weekday at 1pm PST on Nerdist.
