12 August 2026, 1:00 pm - 1 hour 42 minutes570: What's Up 7-Eleven?!
Frank, Tim, and Vactor from This Comic Cooks have seen Spider-Man: Brand New Day, and they’re bringing you their full review.
⚠️ Full spoilers start around 25:00.
We get into where it lands next to No Way Home, why Destin Daniel Cretton's Shang-Chi fight choreography and the PlayStation games are all over the web-swinging, and whether the new cloth suit is the most comic-accurate Spider-Man we've had on screen. Then the gripes: organic web-shooters vs. Peter's science brain, a Jean Grey who might be a little too mean, the Yelena spa scene, and the eternal question: how does a broke kid in New York afford the rent, the flowers, and that many Little Caesars?
Plus: a debate about theater-crowd etiquette ("on your left" cheerers vs. pin-drop-silence purists), the Hulk-remembers moment, and a villain wishlist that runs from Hobgoblin to the Jackal.

29 July 2026, 9:00 am - 48 minutes 42 seconds568: I'm Cyclopped
Frank and Tim pour a drink and break down every reveal, theory, and Easter egg buried in the trailer for Avengers: Doomsday. Cheers!
We get into:
- The incursion, and why this is basically the first act of the movie (heroes miscommunicate, then find a bigger threat)
- The X-Men leading the cold open: Xavier's school on its last legs and what that window shot means
- Doctor Doom in live action for the "fifth" time, and why this one finally feels like it counts
- The RDJ voice debate: is that Downey under the mask, and does it matter if Doom just happens to have Tony's face?
- Crossover money shots Marvel wants you to care about (Shang-Chi vs. Gambit) and the ones that actually land
- Thor vs. Doom, and the magic rune on Doom's gauntlet that might belong to Wanda
- The Hydra Cap theory: how is a long-haired, bearded Steve worthy of Mjolnir?
- Is that Loki shot really pulled from the show? And is Doom collecting kids?
- The Kang problem nobody at Marvel wants to say out loud
- Where's Spider-Man, and why he's probably being saved for Secret Wars and Battleworld
- Tickets already selling out and a teaser that cleared 500 million views in a week
What we're drinking: Frank's on a Sam Adams Blueberry Lager (Red, White & Blueberry). Tim is drinking WhistlePig PiggyBack rye out of a porcelain Doctor Doom head he's had since childhood, whose brains have apparently been replaced by whiskey.
Next week: San Diego Comic-Con hype (and yeah, we still owe you Lois & Clark).
