2026 Movie Draft

It’s draft day on Cognitive Recalibration.

Sravan, Tarun and special guest Kireeti go head-to-head in a 2026 Movie Draft, building their ultimate box office teams with a $100 budget, 6 picks each, tiered movie pricing, and a steal tax that turns the whole thing chaotic.

From Avengers: Doomsday, Spider-Man: Brand New Day and Toy Story 5 to risky value picks like Michael, Supergirl, Jumanji 3, Disclosure Day and Project Hail Mary, this episode is part strategy, part trash talk, and part pure movie nerd chaos.

Who drafted the best team? Who got the biggest steals? And who’s shouting dinner when this all blows up at the box office?

Let us know whose lineup you think wins.
