The DoomBots Marvel Podcast

Searnold has mysteriously vanished. Without him, Zach is left alone to wander aimlessly and confused for all eternity. How did this happen? What will Zach do?

This week's Doombots Marvel Podcast is a little different. Unbeknownst to Searnold, he's about to face THE GAUNTLET! A grueling five rounds of Marvel Comics trivia, with seven questions per round! Find out if Searnold can beat The Gauntlet!

In celebration of Thanksgiving, we're looking at every single Thanksgiving themed episode of Bob's Burgers, and then definitively and objectively rank them based on a totally not subjective metric to figure out which is 100% and inarguably the best of the best!

We're keeping the fun Halloween vibes going this week with two more creepy, horror-themed Marvel stories. From Dracula shooting vampires out of cannons on the moon to Frank Castle being reanimated to fight on behalf of monsters.

The Doombots aren't ready for Halloween to be over yet, so we're going to discuss some spooky horror Marvel Halloween stories. We begin with that time Captain America was a werewolf. How did this happen? Why did this happen? Was the story actually good? Who is Zachary Moonhunter? Is a wolverine a wolf? Is Wolverine a wolf? Does being hypnotized make you legally not liable for crimes? What is the sentencing process like for turning someone into a werewolf? There are so many questions that need answering!

By the time you're reading this, a Fantastic Four and Gargoyles crossover comic will have just been published. To get you ready for it, Zach and Searnold discuss the original Gargoyles cartoon, which is Searnold's favorite of all time. They talk about the premise of the show and who its major characters were. They look at the strange naming conventions the Gargoyles use. There's a little bit of Shakespeare and a little bit of time travel and an inexplicably long second season. Listen now to get all the details you need to know about "Gargoyles"!

In this week's episode, we'll be examining Jed MacKay's run on Doctor Strange, starting with the "Death of Doctor Strange", moving through Clea's time as Sorcerer Supreme during "Strange", all the way through the end of "Doctor Strange" during "Blood Hunt". We'll discuss how Steven died, how he came back, and what that meant for the people around him. We'll also discuss whether or not Jed MacKay is a good writer and end with a segment about nominative determinism. All that and more in this episode of the Doombots Marvel Podcast!

First there was Escape From New York, and then came Escape From LA, and along the way, the world fell in love with Kurt Russell's iconic anti-hero Snake Plissken. Along the way, there were also multiple other stories about Snake's many adventures in both comic books, a novelization of the original film and a knock-off psuedo-sequel.

Back at the beginning of 2025, we teased that J. Michael Straczynski's current run on Captain America featured a penguin... let's say "sidekick" for lack of a better word. Now that his run has concluded, we can finally reveal all of the penguin's secrets! In this episode, we'll spend far more time than is warranted discussing the ins-and-outs of penguins in the Marvel universe. Then, Cap teams up with Thor and Spider-Man to restore Broxton, Oklahoma. Plus, Doctor Doom and Rocket Raccoon travel back before the beginning of time! Don't miss this jam-packed episode!

This week, we're taking a look at Iron Man: Fatal Frontier, and traveling through the cosmos with Tony Stark. We'll be looking at how the moon declared war on Earth, how Iron Man thought he could help, and why he began working with a lonely soviet robot. Also, we're asking the big, important questions like: Is Tony Stark the dumbest Marvel hero ever?
