October 1, 2026 · 2 h 30 min

Show notes

Marc Bernardin takes the helm with J.C. Reifenberg and special guest Kevin Avery for a packed edition of Fat Man Beyond! The guys break down the penultimate episode of DC Studios’ LANTERNS and wonder whether Hal Jordan and John Stewart’s story can bring everything together for the finale. Then it’s back to the MCU as they revisit AVENGERS: ENDGAME on the big screen, discuss the new Encore material involving Doctor Doom, Loki, Bruce Banner and the TVA, and debate whether Marvel should have kept Robert Downey Jr.’s Doom reveal a secret. Plus, Mahershala Ali finally speaks about Marvel’s long-stalled BLADE, the guys look at what’s happened to the MCU since Endgame, Marc and Kevin recount a Star Trek anniversary event that took an unexpectedly strange AI turn, J.C. shares an unbelievable Jar Jar Binks story, and the crew answers questions from the audience. - One thing to pack, five ways to power!
