At a dead end, Bentley reluctantly engages the help of his old friend and tenacious journalist Gwendolyn Marks. Their path leads them to the strange traveling circus where Tianna was killed and the sinister ringmaster who runs it, Doctor Nocturne (André de Shields). Meanwhile, in the past, Bentley’s relationship with Death (in the form of a little girl) strengthens as he gets weaker, while his parents push Professor Romulus to find a way to save him, even if it means defying the very laws of nature.

Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
