The Endgame Encore and the Multiverse Mess Hulk Made (Ep. 6) Dec 10, 2025

Show notes

Avengers: Endgame heads back to theaters, the Road to Doomsday widens, theme park tectonics start shifting, and Hulk’s stair-related temper sets off an unintended butterfly effect across the entire MCU. Jim and Dan break down Marvel’s theatrical chess moves, assemble Sam Wilson’s emerging Avengers roster, and dive into a feature story where one very irritated green guy accidentally rewrites the multiverse. It’s a packed episode that swings from box office strategy to deep-cut timeline chaos.

NEWS
• Avengers: Endgame returns to theaters in September 2026 as a strategic warm-up for Avengers: Doomsday
• Dan unveils a new theory about the Endgame metal-pounding audio, suggesting the 2026 rerelease could reveal Doctor Doom forging his mask as a symbolic handoff from Tony Stark
• Early Doomsday lineup reveals Sam Wilson’s Avengers team, including Thor, Loki, Shang-Chi, Falcon, and Ant-Man
• Universal reportedly explores DC character licensing, creating the possibility of Marvel and DC living side-by-side in Orlando
• Rumor Corner: Destin Daniel Cretton may direct the first post–Secret Wars Avengers film; She-Hulk’s MCU future remains uncertain

FEATURE
• How one joke in Endgame – Hulk being forced to take the stairs – becomes the domino that creates the entire Multiverse Saga
• Loki’s escape, the TVA’s rise and fall, and the chain of events that leads to No Way Home, Wanda’s rampage, and Steve and Tony’s emotional finales
• Why Hulk’s bad stair day may be the secret narrative blueprint the Russos lean on for Avengers: Doomsday

When the Russo Brothers Crash the Multiverse (Ep. 5) Nov 26, 2025

Show notes

Jim and Dan return with a pre-Thanksgiving episode that mixes Orlando sidewalks, MCU speculation, and a defrosting turkey that may or may not be plotting its escape. They cover everything from Universal’s uneven holiday decorations to the unexpectedly emotional Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony for Chadwick Boseman. From there, the guys dive headfirst into Marvel’s latest rumblings, including Wonder Man’s very meta cameo and the increasingly loud whispers about the Russo Brothers shaping the MCU’s next storytelling era. It’s a lively one, recorded just days before the pie-and-TV marathon begins.

Harumphs, Holidays & Doomsday (Ep. 4) Nov 12, 2025

Show notes

Jim Hill and Dan Graney unwrap a stocking full of Marvel mayhem in this fourth episode of the Marvel Us Disney reboot — a show equal parts MCU, theme-park history, and pop-culture cheer.

They start with LEGO’s new Marvel Avengers: Strange Tails (yes, that’s T-A-I-L-S), plus a check-in on Jeremy Renner, David Harbour, and this year’s Marvel merch blitz, Unwrap the Universe. From there it’s on to the big one: Avengers: Doomsday. The Russos return, Robert Downey Jr. re-enters the MCU — as Doctor Doom — and the franchise looks to reset the board ahead of Secret Wars.

Later, Jim and Dan explore Simu Liu’s “love letter to superhero movies,” Patrick Stewart’s possible farewell, and a “What If” worth debating — would Marvel even exist without the MCU?

Finally, Jim opens the vault for Theme Park Archaeology, uncovering the Marvel attractions that never were — from Hong Kong’s Oscorp Tower of Terror to Disneyland’s unbuilt Wakanda expansion — and a first look at Rocket & Groot’s Galaxy Spin coming to Disney Cruise Line.

LEGO Marvel Avengers: Strange Tails debuts Nov 14 on Disney+
Avengers: Doomsday trailer drops Dec 19 with Avatar: Fire & Ash
Simu Liu’s “love letter” to superhero movies & Patrick Stewart’s rumored retirement
