Hey fans and listeners! It’s that’s time of the year again! The time to look back through old content that was too random, tangential, or vulgar to include in previous episodes, and bring it back into the spotlight to celebrate yet another year of madness! Thanks for sticking around for six years thusfar, and here’s to the next years to come!

It’s fan theories, part two! The internet is full of people making up their own ideas about properties they love. We do that all the time on this very podcast! In this episode, Zach will do a deep dive on his theory that Bert is Mr. Dawes’s son in the beloved film “Mary Poppins.” We’llContinue reading "Ep. 155: Was Mary Poppins Bert’s Nanny? (And will any of these other fan theories blow your mind?)"

On today’s Doombots “Marvel” Podcast, we’ll be diving deep into the nature of fan theories and how they affect stories like Pinky and the Brain, Zelda, and Mario. We’ll examine the relationship between Pinky and the Brain to figure out which one is really insane. We’ll discuss if there is secretly a 4th Triforce inContinue reading "Ep. 154: How Do Fan Theories Affect Your Favorite Stories? (And who is more insane, Pinky or the Brain?)"

Final Fantasy 7 is on pretty much every list of top video games of all time. As the first JRPG on the Playstation, it had a huge role in popularizing that entire genre. It's a classic that stands the test of time. It's had sequels, and prequels, and remakes and rebirths. But does its story hold up to the type of scrutiny that we're known for? Can someone who's never played a videogame before understand it? Do any of the characters make sense? Does the world? Why are they called weapons if they don't look like axes? And who leaves so much magic just lying around on the floor? There's much to discuss in this week's episode of the Doombots Marvel Podcast!

Our list of 150 mutants ends today with the 2000’s (and late 90’s.) We’ll continue to explore the entire history of the X-Men from Age of Apocalypse to No More Mutants.

We’ll learn about two of the most 90’s characters ever:Continue reading "Ep. 152: What New Mutants Were Introduced in the 2000’s? (And How Are They Even Weirder than the Older Ones?)"

In celebration of our milestone 150th episode, we are keeping the party going all the way into our 151st episode with our list of the 150 most important or noteworthy Marvel Mutants. This week, we're looking at #51 through #100 -- mostly those introduced in the crazy '80s and gritty '90s -- all while Zach has a mental breakdown.

In celebration of our milestone 150th episode, Searnold and Zach decided to go back to their favorite hobby: forgetting how long it takes to get through lists with hundreds of items. To that end, Searnold is breaking down the entire history of the X-Men (and Marvel Mutants in general) with an ordered list of theContinue reading "Ep. 150: Who Are The Mutants Of Marvel Comics? (And Can We List 150 Of Them In Chronological Order?) – Part 1"

Nothing tastes quite like human flesh (except, apparently, chicken.) In this episode, Zach and Searnold discuss fictional cannibals and all the many forms they take in movies, comics, and video games. From Wendigos to Zombies, Cyberpunk 2077 to Red Dead Redemption, Soylent Green to Cannibal Holocaust, come along on this (fun?) (educational?) (adjectiveless?) discussion ofContinue reading "Ep. 149: Was Uncle Ben Eaten By A Cannibal? (And Why Are There So Many Cannibals in Comics?)"

On this week's episode of The Doombots Marvel Podcast, we're taking a look at writer Ryan North's fantastic "One World Under Doom" arc, and how Doctor Doom used magic, science, political science, a T-rex, propaganda, and genuine altruism to unite the Earth in peace and happiness (under his rule, of course).
