  No Way Homer

  Aug 15, 20261h 8mS1

  Send us Fan Mail This week on Commanders of the Cosmos , Brent and Shiraz tackle a heroic triple feature spanning superheroes, ancient epics, and the power of Grayskull! We dig into what’s been revealed in Spider-Man: Brand New Day , turn our attention to Christopher Nolan’s ambitious take on The Odyssey , and check in on the recent Masters of the Universe movie. Meanwhile, Brent attempts the increasingly dangerous task of figuring out just how Avengers: Doomsday is supposed to bring the MCU together. With multiple timelines, alternate realities, returning characters, and some intriguing new clues coming out of Spider-Man , can Marvel actually make all of this fit together—or will Brent need a conspiracy board, several balls of red string, and a PhD in multiversal physics to make sense of it? Great power. Greek gods. Grayskull. And one increasingly complicated multiverse. Love what we do? Support us at our new Patreon and keep the hyperspace lanes open!
