Reifenberg kick off FAT MAN BEYOND's COUNTDOWN TO DOOMSDAY, revisiting the Marvel Cinematic Universe films that take us from the aftermath of AVENGERS: ENDGAME toward the arrival of Victor Von Doom in AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY. First up are SPIDER-MAN: FAR FROM HOME and BLACK WIDOW. How does Peter Parker's journey hold up in a world without Tony Stark? Where does Natasha Romanoff's solo adventure fit into the larger MCU story? And what might these movies reveal when viewed through the lens of Marvel's next Avengers event? Plus, Marc and J.C. discuss LAIKA's new stop-motion fantasy WILDWOOD and remember two beloved performers we've recently lost: Walter Koenig, whose unforgettable work as Pavel Chekov in STAR TREK and Alfred Bester in BABYLON 5 helped shape generations of science fiction, and Eric Bauza, the extraordinarily gifted voice actor who carried forward the legacy of classic Looney Tunes characters including Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Porky Pig. It's Marvel retrospectives, movie talk, heartfelt tributes, and plenty of geek culture as the road to DOOMSDAY begins!
