We've got our four special teasers for Doomsday out in the world (okay, one of them is just a leak), so we had to convene with our friend Rod to discus them, our excitement level, and what they let us know about Avengers: Doomsday. Then, we discuss some news, the Wonderman trailer, and more!

Our Road to Doomsday series continues with our longest installment yet. AC gathered a panel of Steph Williams, Howard Bryant, and Rod Morrow to ask: Who Should Lead the Avengers (if not Sam Wilson). The discussion went many places, both expected and not expected.

It's our final main feed episode of 2025! So we're joined by at-this-point-unofficial-third-member Rob Morrow to give letter grades for everything that was released this year! We also do, briefly, touch on the leaked Doomsday trailer (but not the Spidey one because we recorded this on Monday).

Who would be in this group? What would they do? Did Marvel miss their window? Plus, they discuss the newest rumor of the shenanigans Sony is up to.

The MCU throws a lot of plots and teases out there, and it doesn't always get back to them! Following up on an episode from 2023, AC and Jake are joined by Hunter Radesi to discuss some of the dangling plot threads the MCU hasn't resolved, whether they SHOULD be resolved, and how they might resolve them.
