Our weekly geek investing show tackles the battle to become your new set-top box, the Justice League's future on the silver screen, and the Captain America sequel's hopes for a star-spangled opening weekend.

Apple (AAPL -0.22%) and Google (GOOGL -2.80%) (GOOG -2.85%) are vying your go-to for Internet-delivered entertainment. Which one has the better chance of winning?

Then, Kevin Tsujihara talks about a better future for Time Warner (TWX) and Warner Bros. in an interview with The New York Times. Is the DC vs. Marvel battle about to take a turn in Warner's favor?

Finally, Captain America: The Winter Soldier appears on track for an $90 million or better U.S. opening for Marvel Studios, while Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. suffers a ratings misfire. Is this still a net win for Walt Disney (DIS -2.07%) investors?
