It’s Halloween! Or at least, it was when we recorded this. To celebrate, Searnold and Zach are going to tell each other some spooky stories. Searnold will retell a classic Marvel horror story by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Can you guess who the mystery monster is? Then, Searnold will tell the story of Marvel’s new Werewolf by Night, Jake Gomez, and what happens when he gets trapped in an abandoned amusement park during Blood Hunt. Next, Zach reads some of his favorite of Alvin Schwartz’s “Spooky Stories to Tell in the Dark” and discusses his BIG PLANS for Halloween. Along the way, we’ll examine the horror genre, the medium of comics, and a bunch of nonsense!

Ep. 112: What’s So Strange about Strange Academy? (aka Marvel’s Hogwarts)
Is there anything in Marvel comics that’s like Harry Potter? Why yes there is! It’s called “Strange Academy” and this week, Searnold will tell you all about it. He’ll explain the different powers of the interdimensional students from Asgard, Otherworld, Weirdworld, Limbo, and the Dark Dimension. You’ll learn all about the son of the Dread Dormammu! And yes, we will discuss in detail how he managed to procreate. We’ll talk about what happened to the school when Doctor Strange suddenly decided to die, as well as what the kids are up to during the latest “Blood Hunt” crossover. If you like Marvel, magic, or Harry Potter, then you’ll love this episode of Doombots!
Ep. 110: What is Agatha Harkness Like in the Marvel Comics?
It’s a weird world we live in when Agatha Harkness has her own TV show. In this episode, we’ll discuss her major comic book appearances and leave you to guess which will make it into “Agatha All Along.” Will she be nanny to a young Franklin Richards? Will she help Scarlet Witch find her real mom? Is she 20,000 years old? Will Firestar make a cameo and convince her not to punish all of humanity in retribution for the Salem Witch trials? Will she accidentally turn the Darkhold into a little boy? Find out what any of that means by listening to this week’s Doombots Marvel Podcast!
Ep. 109: Who Are the Animal Heroes of ‘Marvel Unleashed’? (And What Are Some Other Good Recent Miniseries?)
This week, Searnold breaks down the adventures of Marvel’s heroic pets, as well as explains why Thanos kidnapped the town of Fresno, California, why the Winter Soldier decided to hunt down Red Skull with a new band of Thunderbolts, and how White Widow is adapting to life in the suburbs with neighbors.
Ep. 108: How Did Fall of X End, Where is Krakoa Now, Who is Hope’s Dad, and What is a Dominion?
The end of Fall of X leaves Zach befuddled.
Ep. 107: What Did the X-Men Do To Try and Stop Orchis During Fall of X?
In part 2 of our 3-part recapping saga, Searnold tells Zach all about the surviving mutants who got scattered across the globe amid the Fall of X saga, and their various (sometimes seemingly ineffective) efforts to stop Orchis from killing all of mutant kind.
Ep. 106: How Did Orchis Kill Every Mutant?
X has Fallen. The Fall of X is over. The first Krakoan era is over. So now we can finally talk about what happened. It all started one year ago when Orchis attacked the third annual Hellfire Gala. How did they do it? What convoluted plans enabled them to kill every mutant? Will there be long term relevant consequences?
Ep. 105: Who Will Cameo in Deadpool 3?
Deadpool vs. Wolverine is set to be the best Marvel movie yet (depending on how you define best). The assorted trailers and rumors have Zach and Searnold very excited, and they want to share that excitement with you! In what ends up amounting to a very long ad for the movie, Zach and Searnold discuss everything from Tayler Swift rumors to Cassandra Nova’s origins as a Shi’ar mummundrai and more. Searnold will also explain some of the comic book versions of characters we expect to cameo in the film. No pickles!

It’s finally here! The 4-year anniversary of The Doombots Podcast! This whole new episode will feature a slew of intentionally removed and censored content from past episodes and some original new content! From Searnold trying to figure out the origins of famous phrases to Zach singing “Big Rock Candy Mountain” badly to some of our biggest, most embarrassing bloopers and intentionally edited-out bad jokes, this episode has it all.
