The Ringer-Verse

The Ringer-Verse is actually a multi-show feed that bundles several programs covering superheroes, fandom, and nerd culture under one umbrella. The main draw is The Midnight Boys, hosted by Van Lathan, Charles Holmes, Jomi Adeniran, and Steve Ahlman, who deliver instant reactions and theory breakdowns whenever a major franchise drops new content — Marvel movies, DC shows, Star Wars series, and everything in between. Their coverage of the Avengers: Doomsday buildup in early 2026 is a good example of how the show handles big-event fandom. Alongside The Midnight Boys, the feed includes Mint Edition, where Steve and Jomi gather every other week with guests to share unique takes on movies and shows, and Button Mash, where Ben Lindbergh and guests tackle the video game world. The Button Mash segment covered Fallout Season 2 and ran a 2025 Games of the Year draft, giving the feed broader appeal beyond just comic book properties. The Ringer-Verse also puts out monthly recommendation episodes that highlight what the hosts are watching and playing outside their usual coverage areas. Recent picks have included horror sequels and indie films alongside the expected blockbuster fare. Episodes vary in length from 30 minutes to over an hour depending on the topic, and the production benefits from The Ringer's established infrastructure. For fans who want thoughtful commentary on franchise entertainment rather than just hype or negativity, The Ringer-Verse offers a grounded perspective from hosts who clearly know the source material inside and out.
