  • The Doctor Doom Cast, Episode 10: "Silence, You Sniveling Jackanape!" (Fantastic Four #85-#87)
    Live from Latveria, it's The Doctor Doom Cast, the world's leading Doctor Doom-based podcast! (Of all the podcasts dedicated solely to Doctor Doom, we've determined we're #1. How, you ask? How indeed!)
    This week we wrap up the latest Doom story arc, starting with Fantastic Four #85, "Within This Tortured Land" and moving on to Fantastic Four #86, "The Victims!". These first two issues continue on with the storyline started in Fantastic Four #84 ""The Name is Doom!", with Doom dealing with the meddlesome Fantastic Four as they attempt to investigate Doom's doings and upset the Latverian populace!
    Then....let's just say, things take a turn in Fantastic Four #87, "The Power and the Pride!". A manic Doom decides to rebrand himself as sort of a Marvel Universe Mick Jagger, "a man of wealth and taste", as he reveals himself to be some sort of frustrated musician/performer/art aficionado? 
    We also shop for real estate with Sue Richards, see Reed Richards reach a new low in his chauvinism ("women folk"?), laugh about The Thing's "super breath", discuss Doom's somewhat bizarre dinner selection choices for his guests (ham and doughnuts?), ponder if Sue should have named her baby after Doom, discuss the laughably low regard of Doom's henchman Hauptman, and consider Doom's impending feud with Howard Stern for supremacy of morning radio (will Doom be forced to team up with the accursed Jackie "The Joke Man" Martling?)
    All this and more! Listen now! Doom commands it!
    Today's episode is brought to you by the good folks at the Yancy Pizza Palace! Stop on in for a slice, and use the offer code "Super Breath" to get their pizza and pop combo deal!

  • The Doctor Doom Cast, Episode 9: "Not For Me Are The Putrid Pledges Of Diplomatic Immunity!" (Marvel Super-Heroes #20, "This Man, This Demon", Fantastic Four #84, "The Name is Doom!")

    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!

  • The Doctor Doom Cast, Episode 8: "Your Prattle Begins to Bore Me!" (Daredevil #37, "Don't Look Now, but it's...Doctor Doom!", Daredevil #38, "The Living Prison")
    Live from Latveria! This week, the world's highest rated Doctor Doom-focused podcast reviews Daredevil #37, "Don't Look Now, but it's...Doctor Doom!" and Daredevil #38, "The Living Prison".  The good Doctor has a plan that requires him to inhabit Daredevil! Why, you ask? Well....we're asking as well (it wasn't incredibly clear). Maybe our in-depth review can help shed some light? Hijinks ensue as Doom poses as Daredevil, and Daredevil pretends to be Doom...was this the inspiration for the classic John Travolta/Nicolas Cage film "Face Off"? (Probably not, but it's still fun!)

    We also talk about the wonderful artwork of Gene Colan, mock the ineffectual villainy of The Trapster, ponder the fact that there is no "Doom-mobile" (Doom has to make do with a generic bad-guy car?), wonder what kind of cookies and cars Doom would prefer, and speculate on the mechanics behind Marvel's fabled "No-Prize" award. (Is it an actual prize....or isn't it....?)

  • The Doctor Doom Cast, Episode 7, "You Mountainous Misanthropic Misfit!" (Fantastic Four #57-60)
    Greetings from Latveria! The world's leading Doctor Doom podcast returns for Episode 7!
    This week we tackle a multi-issue storyline, starting with Fantastic Four #57: "Enter Dr. Doom!", and continuing through Fantastic Four #58: "The Dismal Dregs of Defeat!", Fantastic Four #59: "Doomsday", and finishing with Fantastic Four #60: "The Peril and the Power!"
    The Silver Surfer arrives, and Doom tries to position himself to the Surfer as “...the gentlest, the most unambitious of monarchs!” (Doom being Doom, he does this so he can steal the Surfer’s power and launch his latest attack on mankind). Reed comes up with some new ways to condescend to Sue and endanger the rest of the team, and Doom has a great fight with The Thing, complete with a whole barrage of classic insults!
    We also see The Watcher show up once again, and once again he does…nothing, really.  We also ask the question, “Was Superman 2 a good movie?” (Bill’s review, “It’s…a movie.”), and add Jennifer Garner to our list of would-be celebrity listeners. (Jennifer, Bill is currently single!)

  • The Doctor Doom Cast, Episode 6, a.k.a. "Enough Idle Musing!" (The Avengers #25, "Enter Doctor Doom!", Marvel Superheroes episode, "Doctor Doom's Day!")

    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!

  • The Doctor Doom Cast: Episode 5, a.k.a "You Inadequate Incompetent!" (Fantastic Four #43, "Lo, There Shall be an Ending", Fantastic Four Annual #3, "The Wedding of Sue and Reed!")

    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?"

  • The Doctor Doom Cast: Episode 4

    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"!)

  • The Doctor Doom Cast: Episode 3

    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".

  • The Doctor Doom Cast: Episode 2
    Welcome back to The Doctor Doom Cast! We continue on 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 #16: The Micro World of Dr. Doom!",  "Fantastic Four #17:  Defeated by Doctor Doom!", and "Amazing Spiderman #5: Marked for Destruction by Dr. Doom!" Ant-Man and Spider-Man make their respective debuts as Doom foes, we're introduced to the Microverse, and we learn that some of Doom's anger at the world might be caused by his lack of romantic success, as he laments that something as "grotesque" as the Thing can find love, and Doom can't?


    We also tackle the dodgy and Peter Venkman-like scientific methods of Reed Richards, see The Invisible Woman threatened with...bad hair (?), examine the potentially shady world of toy salesmen in the 1960's, wonder if Kennedy was too busy partying with Sinatra to worry about dealing with the threat of Doom, and wonder if Doom is a fan of the English post-punk band The The?
