Live from Latveria, it's the Doctor Doom Cast, the world's leading Doctor Doom-based podcast in the market today! 

This week we cover Marvel Super-Heroes #20, "This Man...This Demon!". Larry Lieber and Roy Thomas take over for Stan Lee at telling the good doctor's story, which involves some unabashed retconning of Doom's origin story to include Valeria (the love of Doom's life, whom he had more or less forgotten about?), an appearance by Diablo and his funky wardrobe, and Doom forgetting that he once built a time machine!

From there it's over to Fantastic Four #84, "The Name is Doom!" and the beginning of a multi-issue storyline. Nick Fury (who apparently has more important things to do and is too busy to worry about Doom) pawns off a Doom-related mission on the Fantastic Four. We get a Sue Richards stand in, video calls that work better in the 1960's than they do today, and one of Craig's favorite Doom tropes, Doom lounging! 

We also discuss Bill's agitation with colorists who don't color Doom's eyes the correct color, the shady world of PO Boxes, the questionable riches promised by GRIT, whether or not $1.98 for a karate mastery class (complete with outfit!) is a good investment, and the failed (and puzzling) push of the Inhumans! 

All this and more! Listen now! Doom commands it!

We're back! After a brief hiatus caused by Latverian rebels, The Doctor Doom Cast returns with a vengeance! 

We start with a review of Doctor Doom's appearance in The Avengers #25, "Enter Doctor Doom!". In this issue, Doctor Doom takes a break from humiliating the Fantastic Four to toy with The Avengers, give out gold farthings, and be defeated by...sneezing? The Thing gives a shout out to "The World's Greatest Rock-N-Roll Band", and we wonder, "What does Latverian music sound like?"

From there, we review the "Marvel Superheroes" cartoon episode, "Doctor Doom's Day!". Ostensibly starring The Submariner (although we all know that Doom is the real star of this and any media in which he appears!) and featuring the vocal stylings of Henry Ramer as the voice of Doom and an odd, off-brand version of the X-Men called "The Allies for Peace" ("Allies for Peace! Bah!"), this one had us wondering; is there a legal standard to how much actual animation must happen in a cartoon to be able to legally refer to it as "animated"?

We also praise the work of Dick Ayers, Gene Colan, and Don Heck (some of the most unsung Marvel creators), ponder on Doom's tendency to spy on his enemies (and the potential downsides of such spying), discuss how air travel has not improved since the 1930's, and rock out to the Submariner's groovy theme song. We also add Charles Grodin to our growing list of celebrity listeners, as Bill casts him as Doctor Doom in the first of our fantasy casting sessions!

Welcome back to The Doctor Doom Cast,  the world's leading Doctor Doom focused podcast! 

This week we review "Fantastic Four #43: Lo, There Shall Be An Ending", and "Fantastic Four Annual #3: The Wedding of Sue and Reed!" Doom puts in what amount to cameo appearances, but he's still the driving force behind the action (as always!)

We also see a virtual cornucopia of additional Marvel heroes and villains, remember the movie where David Hasselhoff played Nick Fury (which Bill still hasn't seen), add Al Pacino to our list of celebrity fans, discuss Craig's questionable drawing and tracing skills, try to determine exactly what Matt Murdock's duties are as the Fantastic Four's lawyer,  wonder why eloping didn't used to be socially acceptable, and ask, "When did people stop hoisting pianos and safes up to penthouse apartments using just rope?"

Remembering the late Chadwick Boseman (1976-2020)

Welcome back to The Doctor Doom Cast!  While we wait for Lionel Richie to get back to us, we continue our journey through the world of all things related to the greatest supervillain of ALL TIME, the legendary Doctor Victor Von Doom!

In this episode, we review "Fantastic Four #39, A Blind Man Shall Lead Them", and "Fantastic Four #40, "The Battle of the Baxter Building." Bask in the greatness of Doom as he heaps some of his greatest insults yet upon the Thing and wreaks havoc on Daredevil and the rest of the Fantastic Four!

As usual, not only do you get all this great Doom discussion, you also get your weekly dose of comic book trivia, and a look at Doom's disregard for common magicians,  our debate about being able to destroy a tornado with an air tank, a discussion about Reed Richards' continued disregard for Ben Grimm's happiness and well being, and the meaning of the words atavism and redoubtable (turns out, the good Doctor CAN be described as "redoubtable"!)

Welcome back to The Doctor Doom Cast!  We continue our journey through the world of all things related to the greatest supervillain of ALL TIME, the legendary Doctor Victor Von Doom!

In this episode, we review "Fantastic Four #23,  The Master Plan of Doctor Doom!" and the great two part origin story of the man himself in "Fantastic Four Annual #2, The Origin of Doctor Doom" and "The Final Victory of Dr. Doom".  

Join us on a journey that looks at more Doom greatness and classic insults! We discuss the good doctor's humble beginnings in Latveria, his time at college (Was Doom a "Seinfeld" fan? Will Jerry Seinfeld come on to give his views on that?) and his first encounters with Reed Richards and Ben Grimm. 

From there, we cover the under-appreciated Bull Brogan, Handsome Harry Phillips, and Yogi Dakor (We want spinoffs dedicated to these three!), more examples of Reed Richards' casual sexism, the chance that the Torch needs one of those daytime lawyers for mesothelioma, the odd recruiting tactics of American colleges when it comes to European science students, and the lessons we learned about diplomatic immunity and South Africa from the 1989 Mel Gibson action classic, "Lethal Weapon 2".
