It's a trailer reaction day on Comicast as Jong and Michael first discuss the final trailer for Spider-Man Brand New Day, which dropped literally as they started recording. Find out why the guys liked the trailers focus on Peter's journey to this point, why grounding it with the characters rather than the action was a smart choice, what Scorpion could mean by "you think I'm Scorpion", the possibility that Metzger is working with Spider-Man, why the look of the film feels so different than the previous films, whether Ned will ever turn into Hobgoblin, growing with this Peter more than others, and more! 

Then the guys dive into the first trailer for one of the biggest films of the year in Avengers Doomsday. The guys discuss whether Doom is the one causing the incursions seen in the trailer or something else, whether we get a final acknowledgement to Kang, whether Doom is the one uniting the heroes, why TVA Loki is the most confusing piece of the puzzle, Thor leading the way this time,  whether that's actually Steve Rogers (I mean he got Mjölnir again so it's gotta be him right? RIGHT?), Cyclops finally getting the blue/yellow look in live action, whether the Fox Universe X-Men could die in this film, why Jong's not happy with one particular casting, and more!

Then the guys discuss X-Men '97 S2 Ep. 4 "Rise of Apocalypse: Part II" and how Magnus/Charles were always destined to make the mess, the shocking demise of [redacted], whether Charles was goading Apocalypse, whether the series is laying the foundation down for an eventual Onslaught debut, Kang dipping out, how the series has been excellent at building the story so far, where things could go next, and they laugh at some memes.
