When Wonder Man tried to get clever, the crew split fast. Bun B, Tom Frank, and Jeffrey Sledge join Tat Wza, Mickey Factz, and Pete Rock for part two of this special crossover—so if you missed part one, catch it over on Unglossy.

The “butter effect” is officially buried and the Cyclops shades are on—Mickey’s camera is clean, Pete’s broadcasting live from a Cincinnati record store, and Tat’s ready to fight for Peacemaker like it pays his rent. We dive into Marvel Zombies (Eps. 1–2): Young Avengers mayhem, power sets finally unchained, and that slick Blade/Moon Knight mash-up that had us yelling at the screen. Plus a jellybean-style body-count game (closest wins bragging rights), and a speed run through the rumor mill: Ghost

Pete’s dialing in from a Cincinnati record bin, Tat’s got notes like court exhibits, and Mickey’s already swinging. We crown Marvel Zombies as the MCU’s most turned-up animation since X-Men ’97—power sets unleashed, consequences real—and assign homework for next week’s full breakdown. Then it’s claws out for the Wolverine game (Madripoor, Omega Red, the whole feral mood), and New York goes villain-deep as Brand New Day stacks the deck—hello Alistair Smythe, Scorpion, and our guy Cron Don back as

DJ 2-Tone Jones and Gerald Watson of Shaolin Jazz / Can I Kick It? pull up and turn the pod into a projector room—live-scoring cult classics like Eight Diagram Pole Fighter, Tron: Legacy, and Predator, blending beats and dialogue like sonic kung fu. From there, the barbershop buzzes: Marvel vs. DC loyalties, rumors of Mr. Sinister leading the next X-Men wave, Doom leaks, and Knull creeping into Spider-Man’s orbit. Affleck’s Daredevil gets revisited (MCD’s Kingpin forever), Charlie Cox’s version gets

Marvel Zombies has the crew fired up—What If… vibes with extra gore, Spidey wildin’, and Tony Stark straight undead. Pete, Mickey, and Tat trade shots on Daredevil’s missing suit, Marvel’s hot streak (X-Men ’97, Thunderbolts, Fantastic Four), and rumors of a Sinister Six swarm in Spider-Man. DC gets its licks too: Superman: Man of Tomorrow in 2027 (Brainiac or bust), Black Mask stepping up, and even a Static Shock curveball with Big Sean in the mix. They close it out by ranking 2027’s

Pete Rock, Mickey Factz, Tat Wza, and special guest Skyzoo turn the mic into a comic shop barbershop. Sky breaks down why Miles Morales is the truest Brooklyn rep (Jordan 1s > star-spangled nostalgia), then the crew debates Peacemaker fatigue and Gunn’s Superman vibes. Street Fighter casting gets spicy—50 Cent as Balrog, Jason Momoa as Blanka, and a hard side-eye at a certain “comic relief.” We nerd out over Eyes of Wakanda’s Iron Fist episode, the bloody-beautiful Marvel Zombies trailer (Blade’s

Pete Rock, Mickey Factz, and Tat Wza skip Peacemaker homework like pros and sprint into the rumor-verse: RDJ vs. Reynolds on set (egos with capes), Deadpool maybe benched for Secret Wars, and “is Cumberbatch clocking out as Strange?” They toast Fantastic Four hitting $500M, daydream an Andrew Garfield comeback (Sony, stop villain solo movies), and pitch a two-part Secret Wars where Doom wins… for a while. Spidey scoops: Jackie Chan on stunts, Florence Pugh + Tramell Tillman join the party. Then it’s

We learned very quickly this week, never ask Tat for tickets to Summer Jam. In his absence Mickey and Pete got deep on their excitement for the return of Nick Fury, and who has the best rogues gallery Spiderman or Batman. In his return, Tat reminds them of the Avengers’ villains, the goat of all villains and who would play Doom in a movie of his own.

One thing was for certain, Jonathan Majors stole the show. But did we need more Kang and did he really just get killed by two white women… really?
