A Doom With a View and a Hulk-Sized Spider-Man Mystery (Ep. 20)

Jim Hill and Dan Graney dig into a wild week of Marvel speculation, from murky Avengers: Doomsday leak drama to Sony’s carefully controlled Spider-Man: Brand New Day rollout. They also spotlight the Muppets’ latest Marvel crossover before Dan unveils a Doctor Doom theory that may reframe Robert Downey Jr.’s MCU return entirely. Plus, brisket, burnt ends, Muppet Treasure Island covers, and one very big question: what if Tony Stark was never the rule, but the exception?

HIGHLIGHTS

• Jim and Dan break down the blurry Avengers: Doomsday footage leak and the debate over whether it was real, AI-enhanced, or both.

• Robert Downey Jr. and the Russo Brothers tease Doomsday as a structurally ambitious, emotionally complex follow-up to Infinity War and Endgame.

• Spider-Man: Brand New Day ticket sales arrive with a tiny cast video instead of the trailer fans expected.

• The new Brand New Day trailer points toward a Spidey-versus-Hulk showdown and a world where almost no one remembers Peter Parker.

• The hosts dig into the mystery of who still remembers Peter Parker, from Savage Hulk to a possible Jean Grey connection.

• Marvel’s The Muppets Take the Marvel Universe celebrates The Muppet Show’s 50th anniversary with Kermit, Gonzo, Deadpool, and one very mean Uncle Ben joke.

• Dan lays out his big Doctor Doom theory: what if Doom is the multiversal constant and Tony Stark was the one heroic anomaly?

• Jim connects the theory back to Doctor Strange’s “one” winning timeline and the possibility that the MCU only ever had one good Tony Stark.
