On today’s episode of The Final Cut, Travis Brown digs into three crowd-pleasing horror headlines with big franchise energy: Penguin Confirmed in DCU’s Clayface: Set photos from James Gunn’s Clayface reveal Gotham teases—“Behold the Penguin Man” and “Jokers Rule”—hinting at a horror‑tinged Batman ecosystem taking shape around Matt Hagen’s origin. MJF & King Bach join Violent Night 2: David Harbour’s killer Santa returns with wrestling’s top heel and a viral comedy star, plus Kristen Bell, Daniela Melchior, Jared Harris, Joe Pantoliano, and director Tommy Wirkola back for another gleefully gory holiday rampage. Scary Movie 6 Reloads with the Wayans: Keenen, Shawn, and Marlon reunite the spoof juggernaut, teasing riffs on Get Out, Nope, Heretic, Longlegs, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Scream—with Anna Faris and Regina Hall returning as Cindy and Brenda.

Show Highlights DCU Clayface set photos; Penguin tease; Joker graffiti; James Gunn Gotham; horror‑tinged Batman; Matt Hagen origin; Liverpool filming Violent Night 2 cast: MJF (Maxwell Jacob Friedman), King Bach, David Harbour Santa, Tommy Wirkola director, Pat Casey & Josh Miller writers, Universal holiday horror sequel Scary Movie 6: Wayans brothers return; Anna Faris; Regina Hall; horror spoof revival; parodies of Get Out, Nope, Longlegs, Heretic, IKWYDLS, Scream; June 12, 2026 release horror in superhero worlds; holiday horror sequels; can spoof horror thrive in 2026? Segment 1 — Penguin Spotted in DCU’s Clayface Set Photos Set photos from James Gunn’s Clayface show Gotham’s underworld lurking in plain sight: posters reading “Behold the Penguin Man” and graffiti like “Jokers Rule.” No Cobblepot casting yet, but the Easter eggs say the rogues’ gallery is alive while Clayface charts Matt Hagen’s tragic transformation. This could be the DCU’s first true horror‑inflected Gotham. Question: With Penguin and Joker already in the shadows, could Clayface secretly be our first great horror‑tinged Batman film? Segment 2 — MJF & King Bach Join Violent Night 2 Cast David Harbour’s Santa is suiting up again, and the sleigh is stacked: MJF and King Bach join Kristen Bell, Daniela Melchior, Jared Harris, and Joe Pantoliano, with Tommy Wirkola returning to direct and Pat Casey & Josh Miller scripting.

Targets teased include Get Out, Nope, Heretic, Longlegs, I Know What You Did Last Summer, and Scream. With prestige horror booming, the genre’s ripe for smart, savage parody ahead of its June 12, 2026 release. Question: Can the Wayans bring spoof horror back from the dead—or has the culture shifted too much to laugh the same way? Transcript Summary & Top Moments Summary: Travis breaks down Gotham breadcrumbs in the DCU’s Clayface, a beefed‑up cast for Violent Night 2, and the Wayans-led renaissance of Scary Movie. The episode examines whether horror’s cross‑pollination with superheroes, seasonal crowd‑pleasers, and satire can sustain momentum without losing edge.
