The burning hot Down to Watch summer is stretching into August with a rock solid addition to the MCU that's anything but invisible, girl! Dan and Raul can't talk about the Fantastic Four: First Steps without the stalwart Jonnie to round out the comic adaptation team, and the three launch into a space spanning story about parenthood that brings Marvel's first family to the big screen again. This round, the story is expected to tie into the ongoing timeline that's being shepherded by the House of Mouse as opposed to the previous stand-alone attempts, but is the franchise cache enough to make this into a Galactus-man-sized hit or do the crowds clamor for the original cloud-based menace of the older films? There's a baby in this one! 

Forth time’s a charm? The Fantastic Four are back on the big screen and they’re better than ever! We’re off to the lovely universe of Earth-828. A place just brimming with Silver Age charm where you’ll find Moleman, intelligent super-apes, our family of heroes and a hungry Galactus. Pop this episode into your face-tape-player and join us for a cosmic ride full of heart. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

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

Picture this: A civilization looks to the stars and sees something impossible. Not a ship. Not a weapon. But a being so vast that planets are less than morsels. Galactus approaches – not as a conqueror, not as a destroyer, but as something more primal. A cosmic hunger given form. Entire civilizations are reduced to energy, to sustenance, in moments of terrifying simplicity. Your world is nothing more than a meal to be consumed, your entire history less significant than a single breath.Welcome to Monsters, Sharks, and Dinosaurs. Today we're exploring Galactus – a being that makes every concept of life, destruction, and existence seem laughably small.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

Josh is joined by Marvel Correspondent Maya Mosher to talk all about the newest entry into the MCU, "The Fantastic Four: First Steps." They argue over whether Galactus made for an interesting villain, discuss if Pedro Pascal's performance as Reed Richards was sufficiently charismatic, the performances of the rest of the main cast and supporting characters what the film's plot says about the future of the MCU and much more! Spoilers throughout!

On this episode of The Rehashables, we suit up for Marvel's Fantastic Four and immediately start comparing it to Superman, because how could we not? We break down our theater trips (including a 10 a.m. showing and a 30-second nap), hand out our custom movie awards, and talk everything from Pedro Pascal's “aww shucks” Reed Richards to Vanessa Kirby stealing the show. We question Galactus' metabolism, debate if giving him the baby was really that bad of an idea, and figure out if this movie will matter in 10 years or end up as just another mid-tier Marvel entry.

We herald a Galactus size episode to fully get into The Fantastic Four: First Steps.  James' in theaters pick of the year is the latest MCU project featuring the live-action Incredibles. We get immersed into conversation completely breaking down this movie and discussing how well it captures Marvel's first family. Strap in for a complete review, the latest in movie news, and if this movie was worth the hype. Thanks for tuning in.

Send us a textFresh out of the theater, we're diving straight into Marvel's latest attempt to bring the Fantastic Four to life in "First Steps." This film represents yet another chapter in the troubled cinematic history of Marvel's first family, and we're breaking down exactly why it stumbles despite its impressive cast and visuals.The movie teases greatness with an exhilarating opening sequence showcasing the team's powers, but quickly devolves into a frustrating waiting game. Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby deliver committed performances as Reed Richards and Sue Storm, with Kirby particularly shining in emotional moments. However, the film fundamentally misunderstands what makes the Fantastic Four special – their dynamic family chemistry and distinctive personalities.We explore how the retrofuturistic aesthetic creates a unique visual identity but lacks narrative purpose, and why Galactus' mere four minutes of screen time in a two-hour movie represents a massive missed opportunity. Through a direct comparison with James Gunn's Superman, we highlight where both films succeed and fail in their superhero storytelling approaches. For longtime Fantastic Four fans, this will feel like another disappointment in a long line of adaptations that can't seem to capture the magic of Marvel's original superhero team. If you're looking for the definitive Fantastic Four experience, you might be better off watching The Incredibles instead!

Bienvenidos, cinéfilos hierberos, a un nuevo episodio de Cinefilia y Otras Hierbas, cine, televisión, música y videojuegos para escuchar.Hoy nos sumergimos en la última maravilla de Marvel, "Los 4 Fantásticos: Primeros Pasos". ¿Pueden creer que esta es la quinta vez que intentan llevar a estos personajes a la gran pantalla? Pero bueno, a la quinta va la vencida, ¿no? Especialmente porque esta es la primera vez que están directamente vinculados al Universo Cinematográfico de Marvel. ¡Por fin, los Cuatro Fantásticos están en casa!En la silla del director está Matt Shakman, el genio detrás de WandaVision, que ya sabe cómo mezclar lo raro con lo maravilloso. Y el elenco, es una maravilla: Pedro Pascal como Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby como Sue Storm, Ebon Moss-Bachrach como Ben Grimm y Joseph Quinn como Johnny Storm. Además de un montón de otros talentosos actores como Julia Garner como una atormentada Silver Surfer y Ralph Ineson como el ente devorador de planetas Galactus. Una de las cosas más emocionantes de esta versión es que finalmente vemos a los Cuatro Fantásticos como exploradores espaciales, tal como en los cómics. ¡Ya era hora! Siempre han sido más que simples superhéroes; son científicos y aventureros primero. Así que prepárense para una buena dosis de exploración cósmica.Pero agárrense, porque aquí viene el golpe emotivo: esta cinta es, ante todo, sobre la familia. No es solo “¡bam, pow, derrota al villano!” cada 15 minutos. No, aquí los personajes tienen espacio para ser humanos, para quererse, pelearse y reconciliarse como cualquier familia. Dominic Toretto estaría llorando de orgullo en su Dodge Charger. La peli está ambientada en una Tierra alternativa retrofuturista de los años 60 (Tierra-828), no en la línea temporal principal del UCM (Tierra-616). Piensen en Mad Men mezclado con Los Supersónicos con un toque de locura Marvel. Este escenario único le da a la película una personalidad distinta, y honestamente, es un soplo de aire fresco. Permite que la historia se sostenga por sí misma sin el peso de todo el UCM. Además, ¿quién no quiere ver a Johnny Storm haciendo piruetas junto a un convertible con alerones espaciales? Y no podemos olvidar la banda sonora del inigualable Michael Giacchino. Este tipo es un genio. Ha compuesto para muchos proyectos de Marvel, y esta podría ser su mejor obra hasta ahora. La partitura es grandiosa, optimista y captura perfectamente la vibra de la era espacial de la película. Es el tipo de música que se te queda grabada, y les garantizo que la estarán tarareando por días.Así que, ahí lo tienen, amigos. "Los 4 Fantásticos: Primeros Pasos" no es solo otra película de superhéroes. Es un drama familiar, una aventura espacial y una carta de amor a los años 60, todo en uno. Y con este elenco y equipo, está destinada a ser, bueno… fantástica. Sí, lo dije, y no me arrepiento.¡Comencemos!Patreon: patreon.com/cinefiliayotrashierbas⁠Correo: cinefiliayotrashierbas@gmail.comNo olviden suscribirse, compartir este episodio y dejar un comentario y un like, eso nos ayudará a crecer y a encontrar más audiencia.¡Que lo disfruten!⁠#4Fantasticos⁠ ⁠#Marvel⁠ ⁠#Cine⁠ ⁠#Doomsday

New Earth. Fresh start. The MCU's latest brings Marvel's First Family to the big screen in a retro-futuristic, sci-fi epic. Will a red-hot, A-list cast and a heavy-hitting, non-cloud Galactus finally give The Fantastic Four the movie it deserves? Or will a flagging franchise's recent pain points once again prove that Marvel is running out of steam? Tune in as we review The Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Editors - Nona Khodai ACE and Tim Roche The Fantastic Four: First Steps sees editors Nona Khodai and Tim Roche reunite for the 37th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the second reboot of the Fantastic Four film series.  The film also marks the first time the two have worked together since Marvel's live action series debut, WandaVision.  Although each had worked with him separately before, WandaVision was the first time both Nona and Tim worked with director Matt Shakman on a Marvel project. The Fantastic Four: First Steps takes place in 1964, as the world celebrates the fourth anniversary of astronauts Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm becoming the superhero team known as the Fantastic Four (Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and the Thing).  But the celebration doesn't last for long as the four face their most daunting challenge yet as they defend Earth from Galactus and Silver Surfer. NONA KHODAI ACE A Southern California native and graduate of USC's Cinematic Arts school, Nona started her career as an assistant on such films as the Bad Robot production, Super 8.  Her first foray as an editor on a "superhero" project came courtesy of showrunner Eric Kripke who brought her aboard the The Boys, where she would work with director Matt Shakman for the first time.  Nona was twice nominted for an Emmy award for her work on Marvel's WandaVision, and nominated for another Emmy for Marvel's Ms. Marvel. TIM ROCHE Known for his work on comedy series like Silicon Valley and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, as well as for his contributions to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, including WandaVision, Thor: Love and Thunder and She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, Tim has received five Emmy nominations for his work, including one this year for Welcom To Wrexham, a show that has already brought him an ACE Eddie Award.

Rai from the Gentleman's Guide to Midnite Cinema to discuss yet another SUPERHERO film: the eagerly awaited The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The MCU is still floundering of late, far from its billion dollar a movie hey day.

Send us a textAs promised, this week on episode #109 of "Fabulous Film & Friends we're going to weigh in on the two big ticket super hero extravaganzas from the Summer of 2025:  James Gunn's Superman starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Skyler Gisando, Wendell Pierce, Edi Gathegi, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Sara Sampaio and Nicholas Hoult up against The Fantastic Four: First Steps directed by Matt Shakman and starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss Bachrach, Joseph Quinn, Julia Garner and Ralph Ineson. Returning for yet another daringly detailed deep dive into the world of fantastical four colored fantasies is nephew to a comic bookstore Kingpin, author, teacher and hypnotherapist, Joe Field. Before we blast off into the Ultra-Negative Zone, the synopses: In 2025's Superman, it is 3 years into his mission and Earth's Champion, The Man of Steel has met his match in Lex Luthor who causes a distraction with a giant monster and breaks into Superman's secret Fortress of Solitude where he translates a message from Superman's parents in which they instruct their son Kal El –Superman's Kryptonian name-- to take over earth and spread his seed. Using this jarringly awkward info to turn public opinion against our hero, Luthor has also made a clone of Superman called Ultraman who continually batters and beats the Man of Steel into submission. On top of that, Luthor has a Pocket Universe where he jails his enemies including his ex-girlfriends. And Lex has Ultraman place Superman in a cage with another a super powered being named Metamorpho who can weaken Superman by turning his hands into Kryptonite. Ultimately, Luthor's cruelty overwhelms Metamorpho who helps Superman escape the pocket universe but it in doing so, the unstable dimensional rift threatens to swallow Earth. It is only with the help of scrappy reporter Lois Lane and a team of heroes called The Justice Gang that Superman that is able to beat Ultraman, Luthor and close the rift. There's also some political stuff going on with two made up countries going to War because of Luthor's manipulations. In The Fantastic Four: First Steps it has been four years since Reed Richards, Sue Storm, her brother Johnny and Ben Grimm were transformed by cosmic rays into the world's protectors, super stretchy genius Mr. Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The Human Torch and the rock man known as The Thing who are biggest celebrities on the planet. The exciting news that team leaders Reed Richards and Sue Storm are expecting their first child is put on the back burner by the arrival of the Silver Surfer the herald of the planet eating Celestial known as Galactus. Galactus tells the Fantastic Four that he will spare Earth in exchange for their yet unborn child, but that his too high a price to pay. With the public opinion against them, and world watching nervously, the team springs into action and devises a incredible plan to teleport planet earth into the far reaches of space. But then the Surfer and Galactus arrive and put the kabosh on the plan so the FF amends the plan to send Galactus himself into the far reaches of space, which seemed like the better strategy to begin with. So which movie was dumber and more suitable for booger eating six year olds? Find out!Watch to the video podcast on Youtube:https://youtu.be/cZCszsepEVM

Mike shares actors who took home million dollar paydays despite being on screen for a little amount of time. Some actors earned a million dollars for each minute they appeared on screen! While others were paid for movies that were never even released or that they ended up being cut from. It’s wild! In the Movie Review, The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Human Torch and the Thing face their most daunting challenge yet as they defend Earth from Galactus and Silver Surfer. Does it do a good job setting up the next phase of the MCU, what was lacking in the story and who stole the show. In the Trailer Park, Mike talks about Mortal Kombat 2 starring Karl Urban as Johnny Cage who is an actor forced into the role of champion of Earth in a universal fighting tournament to the death. Mike talks about his history with the video game, why this movie seems to lean more into the fun and violence but questions why all movies like this are starting to look the same?

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!
