About this episode

Join us as we explore Marvel’s recent Comic-Con announcement that Robert Downey Jr. will return to the MCU as iconic villain Doctor Doom for the upcoming “Secret Wars” two-part movie.


Discover why we think Viktor von Doom can be described as a villainous Boy Scout, how his relationship with Tony Stark is the world’s most dangerous and dysfunctional bromance, and how one of his misadventures was basically ‘Drunk History’, but with armor and magic.


Which, ironically, is how you could describe WoW these days.
