Summary
I’m back from the holidays to talk about why Avengers: Doomsday has become the most searched movie of next year—and why so much is riding on it. With Marvel struggling post- Endgame and the superhero genre clearly facing burnout, this new Avengers film feels like a real make-or-break moment. I break down Marvel’s recent missteps, DC’s reboot, the return of legacy characters, Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Doom, and the surprisingly inventive marketing strategy that’s driving the hype. I also wrap up the episode with Songs of the Week , inspired by my Christmas trip to Lisbon, featuring music from the Heated Rivalry soundtrack plus French and Portuguese discoveries.
