Plus, the guys discuss the latest trailer for Avengers Doomsday, Doom Fantastic Four First Steps connection confirmation, how Doomsday/Secret Wars could be the reverse of Infinity War/Endgame, why the Visionquest trailer helps indicate that this could be the final live action Marvel series not named Daredevil for some time, and some quick thoughts on the X-Men '97 finale.
