    572: I Like the Pictures

    Frank and Vactor from This Comic Cooks on YouTube and TikTok dig into My Adventures with Superman Season 3: the season that took an already-great show and somehow made it ten times better. Tim's out on the happiest possible assignment, so it's a two-hander. Cheers! ⚠️ Full spoilers throughout.

    570: 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. Beers of the Week Bero Kingston Golden Pils Bero Spider-Man: Brand New Day x Pils Sam Adams Summer Ale (2025 vintage) Special Guest: Vactor.

    569: I Want My Piggyback

    568: 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). Find every back episode at beerwithgeeks.com. We're on YouTube and wherever you get your podcasts.
