Greetings, again. This week on the podcast, I sit down with Maryland Phil to break down Marvel Studios' Fantastic Four: First Steps. Together, we dive into the film's plot, character development, and the strengths and weaknesses of Marvel's First Family. From the striking retro-futuristic aesthetic to how this version stacks up against both the broader MCU and earlier Fantastic Four adaptations, no stone is left unturned. The conversation also touches on the Silver Surfer and Galactus, fan-favorite elements that spark plenty of debate. We share our overall scores while running through the good, the bad, and the ugly of the film. And of course, it wouldn't be a true Nerdcast without veering into general nerd territory—discussing upcoming movies, shows, action figures, and the never-ending cycle of comic books restarting at issue #1.

#fantastic4 #marvelcinematicuniverse #MCU Marvel's First Family finally joins the MCU! In a universe where The Avengers don't exist, The Fantastic Four - consisting of Reed Richards, his wife Sue, brother-in-law Johnny, and best friend Ben - have become the heroes of Earth 828 after a freak accident in space imbues them all with special abilities. The family is joyful when finding out that the Richards' are about to be parents, but when a powerful cosmic being threatens the safety of their planet in exchange for their (seemingly) powerful unborn child, the team must work together to find a way to save both.

Step into the Baxter Building with us as we review The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the newest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Finally, we discuss what this long-awaited film means for the future of the MCU.  Our Linktree: https://linktr.ee/FiveishFangirls #FiveishFam  TIME STAMPS 00:00:17 Intro 00:03:34 News 00:10:07 Feedback 00:19:54 The Fantastic Four 01:53:26 Final Thoughts 01:55:20 Outro Copyright Disclaimer under section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education and research.

Now Marvel's latest has arrived in the form of "Fantastic Four: First Steps". And wow, has it been refreshing to see what Marvel does when it manages to wrest its toys back from sticky rights agreements. This t̶h̶i̶r̶d̶ FOURTH-time-lucky reboot / redux is what fans of Marvel's First Family have been waiting for since Roger Corman first gave it a swing: The FF done right. So on this Half-Tank episode, Saint and Jim take a look at everything that made this such a rousing return to form. But, be warned: HERE THERE BE SPOILERS. So proceed with caution.

This week, we're diving deep into the film that promises to chart a new course for Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben.

Join us as we break down the spectacular visuals, the character performances, and the exciting new threat they face. Does First Steps live up to the hype and set the stage for a new era of cosmic adventures? Let's get into it!Want more How Was It?

Send us a textThe Fantastic Four has finally arrived in the MCU, but not in the way anyone expected. Rather than another tired origin story, we're dropped into Universe 828—a gorgeously realized retro-futuristic world where Marvel's First Family are already established heroes beloved by the public.What makes this film truly special is how it balances cosmic spectacle with intimate family drama. When we meet Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben, they're facing their greatest challenge yet: impending parenthood. Sue Storm is pregnant, and Reed's anxiety about what their altered genetics might mean for their child drives much of the emotional narrative. Pedro Pascal brings a fascinating vulnerability to Reed Richards—a brilliant mind constantly plagued by feelings of inadequacy, always believing he should be able to do more.Vanessa Kirby delivers what might be the definitive Sue Storm performance, finally showcasing the character's immense power that comic readers have known about for decades. The climactic sequence where she confronts Galactus while literally in labor is both visually stunning and emotionally resonant—a mother's fierce protection taken to cosmic levels. Meanwhile, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach bring fresh energy to Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm respectively, with their relationship capturing that perfect balance of friendly ribbing and genuine brotherhood.The film's visual aesthetic deserves special mention—Universe 828 feels like tomorrow as imagined in the 1960s, with flying cars, impossible architecture, and a sense of optimism that's been missing from recent superhero fare. This distinct setting, coupled with the post-credits tease of Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom appearing in Franklin Richards' nursery, suggests an exciting direction for the future of the MCU.Whether you're a longtime Fantastic Four fan or completely new to these characters, this film offers something genuinely fresh in the superhero landscape. It reminds us why these characters have endured for over sixty years—because at their heart, they're not just superheroes, they're family. And that's fantastic.Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbANew Video: The Divine Structure Hidden in Superman's Timeline: https://youtu.be/iHgcBcCSJgM?si=9xmcl76NZR3Sdx3wSupport the show

n this episode, we dive into the most talked-about—and polarizing—installment of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: “An Adventure in Space and Time.” Was it a lighthearted homage to Trek's origins, gently poking fun at William Shatner and Gene Roddenberry, or a snarky commentary dressed in retro cosplay? We debate whether the satire lands with love or leans too hard into mockery.We also unpack the increasingly odd portrayal of Mr. Spock—now depicted as a lovesick romantic entangled with La'an Noonien Singh. If this relationship is canon, why doesn't Spock even remember her name in “Space Seed”? Is this just sloppy continuity, or is something else going on?Then we shift gears for a full spoiler review of the brand-new Fantastic Four film—breaking down the performances, surprises, and whether Marvel's First Family finally got the treatment they deserve.Buckle up—this one's equal parts Trek talk, canon chaos, and superhero cinema smackdown.

The Fantastic Four: First Steps is being hailed by some as a return to basics for Marvel's First Family. With sweeping visuals and cosmic themes, it's a clear attempt to tap into the legendary imagination of Jack Kirby himself. But while the film tries to honor the so-called "King of Comics," we take a deeper look at the spiritual roots of the source material.

Marvel’s First Family is back for a fourth time. On this week’s episode of Cinemaholics, Jon Negroni and Will Ashton unpack The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the latest attempt to reboot Marvel’s unluckiest franchise. With Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach suiting up for a 60s-inspired, retro-futurist take, director Matt Shakman (WandaVision) brings serious style to a film that’s long on vibes but maybe short on soul. We break down the film’s visual direction, ensemble performances, and the Galactus-sized question at its core: what is the point of another reboot? Plus, we debate the movie’s oddly hollow emotional arc, its meta-commentary on Marvel fatigue, and how it stacks up against the previous iterations of the Fantastic Four. Is this a first step in the right direction or another cosmic trip into irrelevance? Tune in to find out! Links: Read Jon’s written review of the film here!

The Fantastic Four: First Steps has finally hit theaters, and you know we had to jump in with our instant reactions! The film stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Marvel's First Family, and we had plenty to say about their performances, the story, and all the delicious fan service moments sprinkled throughout. (Spoiler alert: Galactus finally looks awesome!) We also take some time to compare this iteration of the FF to the two previous feature film versions—both of which earned mixed-to-poor reviews. First Steps isn't a perfect film, but if you're a longtime Fantastic Four fan (like we are), it's a fun and entertaining ride.

The First Family of Marvel has finally taken their First Steps in the MCU! The Fantastic Four: First Steps was just released in the theaters, and Hayley and BVK are here to review it and compare it the the comics, FF: Life Story, that were read as a primer.

The Fantastic Four's first steps in the MCU have proven successful as Marvel's First Family finally get their cinematic due. We couldn't be happier to break it all down in this spoiler review!

Marvel's First Family has returned to the big screen.....could the THIRD (or actually fourth if we're counting the Roger Corman version which never got a proper theatrical release) time be the charm?  Well it helps that they brought out the big guns: Matt Shankman (WandaVision) is directing and the all-star cast features Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us, The Mandalorian) as Reed Richards otherwise known as Mr. Fantastic, Vaness Kirby (Mission Impossible Fallout, Napoleon) as Sue Storm/The Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn (A Quiet Place: Day One, Gladiator II) playing Johnny Storm/The Human Torch, and Emmy-winner Ebon Moss-Bachrach (The Bear, Girls) as Ben Grimm otherwise known as Thing.  This is still very much a stand-alone story mostly separate from the MCU (which this is a part of) as the Fab Four are settled in New York City but on an alternative Earth.  And THIS Earth has some scary new visitors....the Silver Surfer (Julia Garner) has come calling declaring that GALACTUS (Ralph Ineson) is on his way to consume the planet....who can stop them??  Let's find out out if Producer Kevin Feige's latest big screen heroes are up to the task.....Host & Editor: Geoff GershonEditor: Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/
