  • The Doctor Doom Cast Episode 20: "You Insufferable Fool!" (Fantastic Four #155, "Battle Royal!", Fantastic Four #156, “Middle Game!”, Fantastic Four #157 “The Endgame Cometh!")
    Jul 7 2021

    Welcome back to the world-famous Doctor Doom Cast!

    Broadcasting live from different corners of Latveria, we dig into Fantastic Four #155, "Battle Royal!" Fantastic Four #156, “Middle Game!”, and Fantastic Four #157 “The Endgame Cometh!”. Oh man, this story is all over the board!

    Where to begin? Doom revels in his villainy by stealing the Silver Surfer's girlfriend and maybe even marrying her (although...did he really? Or did he just say that he did?) And is she even the Surfer's girlfriend? The Surfer seems to think so, but she...seems to think otherwise? Doom blackmails the Surfer into attacking the Fantastic Four, and concocts an overly elaborate scheme to utilize (but not directly wield) the Surfer's power?

    Our review leads us to questions like, what kind of programming would be on a Doom-based TV network? "Mad About You" reruns? What is the exact location of Latervia? Why do Latverians sometimes seem to have a Scottish accent? Does Doom employ a toy maker to create his various action figure/chess sets? And if so, what's that guy's turnaround time?

    We also learn what "zugzwang" means and discuss a somewhat dated reference to one Mr. O.J. Simpson!

    Listen now!!! DOOM COMMANDS IT!!!

    In addition, Doom further commands you to visit Super G.A.L.S.: Left Far Behind | Indiegogo and offer up a portion of your laughably meager funds to this effort, so that you and your fraudulent friends may one day possess a copy of the terrific "Super G.A.L.S.: Left Far Behind" graphic novel!

    Act now!!! DOOM COMMANDS IT!!!

  • The Doctor Doom Cast, Episode 19: "You Ungrateful Water-Snipe!" (Giant-Size Super Villain Team Up #1)
    Jun 15 2021

    Hello Latveria! (and beyond!) Welcome back to the world-famous Doctor Doom Cast!

    Join us for yet another exhilarating episode! We review Giant-Size Super Villain Team Up #1, a flashback issue that features Doom and his frenemy Namor debating whether they should once again join forces (since they've both betrayed each other multiple times in the past). This mega-sized issue contains one new wraparound story, "Encounter at Land's End", and some reprints of a few other classics: "In The Darkness Dwells...Doom!" (originally printed in Submariner #20) and "This Man...This Demon!" (originally printed in Marvel Super-Heroes #20, and covered on Episode 9 of this very podcast! )

    We also learn from Bill that Namor was an influence on rock legend Gene Simmons (!), and that there was once a comic book company war for the word "superhero"! In addition, our discussion of Doom's greatest foes reaches a fever pitch due to Bill's hatred of the accursed Squirrel Girl!

    All this and more, including our ponderings on how technology continues to fail humanity, the advantages (if there are any) of having our minds placed "Freejack" style within Emilio Estevez' current body, the leaps and bounds (apparently) made in fire extinguishing equipment since the early '70's, and whether or not Craig will one day mistakenly end up on display in a carnival freak show!

  • The Doctor Doom Cast, Episode 18: "Silence, You Brainless Boor!" (Fantastic Four #143, "The Terrible Triumph of Doctor Doom!", Fantastic Four #144, "Attack!")
    May 27 2021

    Welcome back to the world-famous Doctor Doom Cast! That's right, our fanbase is now GLOBAL!!!!!

    On this episode, we review Fantastic Four #143, "The Terrible Triumph of Doctor Doom!" and Fantastic Four #144, "Attack!". Bill's not a fan of these issues, but we give it a go anyway! If nothing else, Craig maintains that these are good Doom issues (if not necessarily good Fantastic Four issues), and since this isn't a Fantastic Four podcast, that's ok!

    We follow the good doctor as he dishes out some great insults to his enemies, sets up an alumni meeting (?) to humiliate his former fellow college students, including the previously unseen "Sam" (?), reveals a "hidden fortress" (which of course, isn't hidden, once he reveals it), and switches gears from attempting world domination to attempting world destruction!

    Also covered in this episode: Bill's irritation with artists who don't color Doom's eyes correctly, the sad end of "Flunky of the Month" Gort (Is "Gort" short for "Gary"?), the true value of Latverian currency, the fact that there are so few successful middle management types in the world of villainy, and why the janitor at the Baxter Building needed a degree to mop the floor.

    All this and more! Listen now! DOOM COMMANDS IT!!!
