Fantastic Four: First Steps Is this, the 4th attempt at bringing the Marvel Universe‘s “First Family” to the big screen actually as fantastic as it purports to be? Well, we have finally settled on a look and feel that best suits the classic super hero squad: and it’s ‘60s Retro-futurism all the way for one and all!!! It’s a whole new universe of Marvel stories starring Omni-daddy Pedro Pascal, serving C&%t Vanessa Kirby, Joseph “i’m on fire!” Quinn and Ebon Moss Bacharach (or baccarat as Quinny thinks he’s called) as the truly Fantastic Four! In this film we kick of Marvel‘s Phase 6 and usher in a new style and direction of storytelling, but is it actually good? Listen in and find out!

Jill Really gone. Just gone. Dion Us in the void. Peta I’m invisible. I’m not silent. Speaker Yeah. Yes. Dion That’s true. They didn’t use that enough in the film.

What weirdness is that ********? And now? Ohh, it’s it’s gone. You’ve gone all glowy and. Peta Yeah, I’ve, I’ve. I’ve smudged the camera so. Quinny And ohh well. Yeah, I know. She’s she’s actually doing the exact effect from the movie where it’s just a little. Jill Yeah, yeah. The Vaseline lens. Yeah. Speaker 3 Bit of. Quinny Now, now pets. No. Dion Can I stretch my hand over here? Quinny Pun. Serve absolute can’t with your face while you. Jill Do that. Yeah, there it is. Dion There you go. Perfect.

She’s saying that she that please be good. Ohh. Interesting. Speaker Oh. Speaker 6 Ohh. Dion Fascinating. What? Jill Yeah. Dion Look. Yeah, we Fantastic Four has been out since last Thursday. Officially, we saw it last week which? Was quite fun. Jill Yeah, there’s even some early screenings on Wednesday for the public. Dion Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s out. It’s part of Marvel’s Phase 266. Quinny Yep. First film of Save 6. First film of, say Phase 6. God, that’s. Speaker 6 Dion Why couldn’t have made it the first film of Phase 4? Quinny Because that was quite some time. Dion And then it. Would have been. Ago. Right. OK. Look, the fourth attempt at the Fantastic Fours and I I include in that the the 1994. 1. Which was never released except IS is is hovered around. Yes, there was a 1994 one. Jill That would make this the 5th 1 then. Dion Yeah. No, no, it’s it’s, it’s, I say this as in the fourth go at it because there were two with the same cast. So you have the, yeah. Speaker 6 Ohh OK. Dion What are you talking about? This is. Our fourth thing. We have had, yes, it’s the fourth thing, you know, Michael Chiklis did a great job getting covered in rubber. Quinny That is true, Yep. Peta Yeah. Dion You know, and then you know, we’re up to this one. Jill Can’t remember the other guy. Quinny That’s gonna get off in the life. And remember who played the thing in Fan 4? Stick. Ohh my. Dion God fan 4 stick. Jill I know. Quinny That was, that’s what it’s called. Jill Fan Fant Fant 4 stick. Quinny I don’t know, but I I just. Jill Yeah, I think that a was in the. Middle not at the start. Quinny Ohh OK, I just call it fan 4 stick because it’s it’s easier to say. Dion Ohh, that’s right, it’s Jamie Bell. Quinny Ohh God that’s. Dion Right, you remember. Speaker 2 Whoops. Quinny He was the young. Dion Billy Elliot. Speaker 3 Yes. Quinny And and the young, chipper guy out of of the first king or the the King Kong movie that Peter Jackson did. Dion And he was also tin tin. But that was who made. Quinny It so not really who you would think. Yeah, would fit in a giant thing. Jill Memorable. Dion That he was the. Thing, yes. Quinny And Karina makes a good point, a arresting piece to Julian McMahon, who was the 1st Doctor Doom actually. Sorry, 2nd Doctor Doom. Speaker Yeah. Yeah. Dion Yes, because there was a doom. Jill I did rewatch the 2005 version on the weekend just for a bit of nostalgia. Yeah, I like those trashy ones. They’re great. They’re so campy and stupid. Speaker Did you? Quinny What did you think of it? Speaker Yeah. Jill And I look back on them. And I’m like, wow, the simpler times where we did comic book films. And we really, really did make them comic bookie. Speaker Yeah, man. Yeah. Dion And finally. Jill Well, we weren’t going. For all of the realism and stuff. Quinny Yeah. And they didn’t have to fit in with some. Gigantic *******. Thing. Jill I will tell you practical effects. Thing I don’t know I like. Yeah, CGI 1 is like that, feels like. A cheap cop out. Quinny Right. OK. OK. Fine, no suit. Jill With balls on it and not put in. Any effort and? Just animate it. Quinny You know what? Dion Wait, do you mean wait? Peta The fine effort. Jill Hey, it’s a different kind of effort. I’m like, let’s get our hands dirty and make a ******* stinky suit out of foam expanding. Foam or something like that and. Of course, some lung disease. Let’s get into. Dion I’m I’m going to like, I’m just going to take it on part of the actors there. Sometimes I’m just going to be like, yeah, maybe they don’t. Jill It. Quinny This is Jeff. Dion Want that? Maybe they don’t want to spend 16 hours in a makeup chair to to to do. Yeah. Speaker 6 As a cosplayer, I I would agree, but I would also disagree because I think it would be fun to make it. Dion Sure. I mean ultimately it’ll be that great thing of like they make someone do that and then they just go oh. Quinny I’m. I’m just. Dion We’re just gonna CGI it. Quinny Well, The thing is, there was a there was a lot of the thing in this one that was actually practical. Like there’s quite believe it or not, there’s there’s shots that they hired a a pretty big wrestler to be the body for it. So on set. A lot of the time there was a practical suit, dude of roughly the right size. Is. Jill So we’re not talking about a guy that’s just standing in there in a green zentai. Quinny No, I mean when when they’re doing it with Evan Moss, Baccarat, then he was in the uh, whatever the **** he said. Backup, backup, backtrack. Dion Doctor rap. No. Baccarat. That’s a. Quinny Alright. Dion Game I know. Quinny Dion Know you’re in a casino in Monte. Carlo yes, guys. Quinny Anyway, when he was on set, yeah, they they had this entire certain stuff like that. But there were quite a lot of it that was shot any time they needed, like a wide shot and everything. They actually had a dude in a suit with the. Ohh head and everything. Cool. Alright. Yeah, I’ve I’ve seen the the pictures of that, but I’ve also in the chat just put a link to the 1994 one and the thing in that Jill, you would love that one because the the suit actually looks more like the comic book character than any of the others have. Jill I love the terrifying dead. Eyes. Speaker 3 I know. Dion I mean, it’s great. It’s yeah, it’s very thingy. Jill That’s. Yeah, that’s. Speaker 6 Look at that thingy over there. That thingy. Dion Yeah, that, that, that is definitely something I’d go. What is that thing? If I saw it in a in a thing? Jill With that young man with fake grey sideburns. Quinny I know, right? Dion Yeah. Hey guys. I’m trying hard here, Joe. What? Quinny Honestly, if you could find that film. Like this. This is I love this one because my my thing with Fantastic Four it it started with this film because I was one of those ******* nerds who heard that there was a film that got made and was never released. So I then went and hunted. Speaker For. Quinny It and I, you know, back in the days of VHS trading, got somebody to send me a *******. VHS of this film that had never been released, and I’ve watched it. It’s terrible, but it’s actually got a lot of, like, it’s trying really hard. Jill And. Nice. Quinny To do all of the things that are fantastic, four movie should do just with no budget. Hmm. So yeah, like it’s got Doctor Doom. It’s got the mole, man. It’s it’s got them all doing their powers. But like Reed, stretchy arms are like pool noodles with a with a *******. A glove on the end. Jill I mean that’s still image alone is giving vibes of like 70s Italian Spiderman. Dion Yes, got a bit of that. I mean, you’ve gotta. What’s what’s the what’s the the crossover slash league like the Marvel Group, you know, secret wars thing. It’s the 1989 Punisher. Dolph Lundgren. It’s the the Captain America film. It’s the Fantastic Four film. Quinny Hmm. Dion You know, it’s all of those ones Pre Marvel Universe. Mashed together. And you’re like, what is this strain? ******* place, but we don’t. Here, we’re in a different, strange place this time. We’re in much more budget, some bigger names and some. Quinny Yeah. Dion Finally, they sort of kind of got people who give a ****. Quinny Yeah, yeah. Dion About doing something fun. Quinny Yeah. Jill And that’s nice. Surprising what you’re going to accomplish when you put in some time and effort. Speaker Yeah, isn’t it? Dion Isn’t it’s kind of like oh. Quinny And when you? And when you’ve had three goes at it before and gotten it wrong three times. You kind of go. Well, **** it. We’re gonna hold off on this one because, I mean, Fantastic Four has always been seen as Marvel’s first family. Like, you know, they’re they’re one of the very earliest Marvel superhero groups. And you know, we’re what, 40, you know, 39 films in now something. Speaker 5 Sure. Dion More, I don’t know 112 where 112 films in now. That’s how many there are. I I won’t be fact checked. Quinny And we’ve, yeah, and now we’ve just introduced the very first Fantastic Four stuff. So yeah, it’s it’s an interesting one. I mean, obviously they were tied up in rights for. A long time. Dion But yeah, I mean. Look, it’s fine. We’re just going to ignore the rest of those fan 4 test. Stick, whatever it is. Quinny Can’t ignore them. Dion We have to stick, then forget stick. That’s what I. Yeah, we’re gonna ignore that. Quinny Not. The autistic fans. Dion We’re going to, we’re going to ignore that. Michael B Jordan, he’s also Johnny Storm. Yes, I know, right. No, he’s not Killmonger. He’s definitely Johnny storm. We’re also going to ignore that Captain America. Quinny Ohh yeah yeah, he was one of them. Speaker Yeah. Jill Was also Johnny Storm and Captain America. Dion Was also. Stone. Yeah. Yes, exactly. We’re going to ignore all of those things and focus very. Speaker Yeah. Dion Much in Comic Daddy and his family and Pedro Pascal’s not not happy just being space Daddy, Apocalypse Daddy and General General Daddy. Jill Yeah. Thanks, daddy. Dion Now he’s also comic Daddy. Quinny Hmm. Speaker Yeah. Dion Yeah, along with. Quinny Is there anything he can’t, daddy? Dion You know what? Hollywood will not let him. Not daddy something. He’s in there now forever. Like. Yeah, he will just. He will just keep doing it until everyone collectively gets sick of him. And I’ll be able to return to an anonymity. Quinny Hmm. I just realized it is the summer of Pedro, it’s. Jill Summer picture. Dion Yeah. Speaker Been just realized. Dion Multiple summers. Quinny It was another ******* attempted Fantastic Four. Dion Oh. Have you? Yes, grey tailed. Quinny Well, technically. There was another Reed Richards. Ohh John Krasinski but that. Jill Yes. Yeah, that’s right. Dion That’s in Multiverse of Madness, which is so the. But that’s not the Fantastic Four. Quinny Yes, from. Marvel Universe. He’s one of the breeds. Jill He was. He’s Mr. fantastic. Dion Is he though? Jill Yes. Quinny He’s Mr. spaghetti by the end of. It but anyway. Dion Yeah, like I mean, yeah, that’s just on film, but it it, it wasn’t the Fantastic Four and this is what we want to focus on. It’s about these group of people and. How they’re represented in cinema? Yeah. What you’re not. Jill Capturing in the audio is our eye rolls. Quinny Massive massive eye roll. Dion Come on. Quinny Beyond wiping away John Krasinski from the from the entire multiverse of of anything, and we’re all going. No, no, no. Jill Yeah, that’s because they don’t. Can’t do a convincing cosplay of John Krasinski’s Mr. Fantastic. You can only do the Pedro. Dion No, I cannot. Jill Dion Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and if you squint, the Ian Crawford one. Speaker 6 You’re clean shaven for that one. Quinny I’ve just had an eye. Yeah, my eyes are not that ******* blind. Dion OK, then fine. I’ll go with this one if this. If he’s part of the Fantastic Four Canon, you need to cast the other three members of the Fantastic Four in those universes. Who is it going? Jill That’s true. OK. Oh my God. Yeah. Can we come back to this at the? Dion No immediate. OK. We’ll give you time. Time. Yeah, time. Jill End of the show. We’ll be here for 15. Dion Minutes. Yeah. Yeah. So if if if John Krasinski’s Mr. Fantastic and chat go and throw some something we. Quinny Man. Need to sleep? Yeah. Speaker 6 ******* Emily Blunt. I would go. Emily Blunt force. Jill Storm. Quinny **** yeah. Yep, Yep. You down to? Dion That yeah, Karina, just like gonna get to the. Synopsis yet guys. Speaker Yeah. Peta You know, keep getting pushed. Speaker Push. Speaker 6 Push by the chat. Let’s go. Speaker 2 Yeah, that’s a wow. Quinny I’m being bullied by the test. Peta This film about. Quinny What is this film about it? No, I’m not gonna. I’m not gonna do the synopsis now because I’ve been told. I have to. Jill No. Ohh yes. Speaker 6 Jesus. Dion Christ. Jill That sounds like me energy. Dion Peta Settling into that demand avoidance there. Dion Come on. Tony, have you got? Have you got some synopsis? Peta Yeah. Quinny For us it is. I have got a. Synopsis for everyone but Karina. Peta To be fair to Karina, it’s been 20 minutes. Jill Can you do it in a Brooklyn accent? OK. Speaker 3 Forced ohh. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, the Fantastic Four must defend Earth from a ravenous space God called Galactus and his enigmatic herald the Silver Surfer. And guess what? It’s clubber and die this. Quinny Ohh, cool, that’s it. That’s the whole book. Was an opposite. Trust me, there was an even shorter one. Speaker Is that it? Speaker 6 Yeah. Wow. Dion I love sofas, yeah. Speaker 6 Silvers, soyfer yeah, soyfer. Dion Some some more continents and vowels in there that I remember from. Speaker 3 Hey, I’m going down the street and I’m going to start some some flights. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Dion Yeah, that’s about it. Quinny Hey, get that man some cookies. Thank you. I. Dion Would love some cookies. That’s kind of what the movie is about and I’m, I’m I’m with it like this isn’t one of those films that you went and saw and you’re like, oh, great, we get to have an origin story of how did they get their powers, how did. They do this like how do we go through that? They were like, no, you know what? Quinny Ohh thank God. Jill Yes, we just got a tidy. Little vignette, and that’s all we needed. Dion Yep. Quite a long vignette really explaining like how they fit into the world and how suddenly the the brokers of World Peace and everyone looks up to them and they’re the world’s family. Quinny Yep. Jill Yeah, I kind of love it. Dion I mean, OK. Jill They’re. They’re paragons. Quinny Yeah. And we, the the important thing to note is that we’re in a different world here we are in. We’re not in the regular Marvel Universe. We are in a weird kind of quasi 60s future pop, yeah, different reality. Speaker Mm-hmm. Speaker 3 It’s. Dion It’s 60s futurism, so it’s just it’s there’s a divergent. Speaker Hmm. Dion From our history to where it has ended up in this Earth history, and I’m I dig it, I dig the style, imagine in the 60s if four people got shot into space and came back and had all these powers and solved a bunch of problems. Speaker Hmm. Dion And a bunch of other things happen. That’s how that kind of goes. It’s like, yeah, well, you know. Quinny Yeah. And the difference. Speaker I mean. Quinny Not actually stated what year this is, is it? Dion No, no, it’s just the different earth. Quinny Yeah, right. Dion And what that is. But people don’t have. Jill Yeah, it could be current day 2. 616 Earth we don’t. Quinny Yeah, yeah. Jill Know that’s just what this earth. Dion Yeah. Looks like there’s big. There’s big kind of LED screens, but no cell phones. Speaker Slide. Peta Yep, well, it’s kind of like they’ve kind of gone. We don’t need to put energy into making TV screens flat. We’ll just have giant non flat TV screens and faster than light space travel. Yeah, yes. But we’re gonna do with that extra energy. Dion There’s there’s like. Quinny No. Dion You know. Yeah. Peta We don’t need to put energy into like inventing MP threes. We’ll just keep records. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And teleporting. Dion Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Peta Think of what we could have done as humanity. Quinny I didn’t know. Dion Exactly all of our computerisation goes on tape. Jill Yeah, I mean. Yeah, we invented cassettes and then CD’s and then digital format music. And now we’re back to ******* records again. Quinny So yeah, but they just didn’t bother leaving the the records. Yeah, because they realized it was the the superior format from the start, especially if you print them in. Dion Yes. Gold. And if you haven’t got a troop of players in your lounge room. You know, yeah. Eventually we’ll get to there, won’t we, like? Oh, this is my 9 musicians that follow me around and. Play music to me. Speaker Yeah. Quinny Yeah. I mean, yeah. Karina and Casper both kind of make the point. It’s very jetsons. Dion Yeah. And that’s kind of great because that’s very familiar to the people who knew fantastic for for when they were growing up based on the cartoon, which is the the sort of. Peta So jetsons. Dion The carry over of where people would sit from the Saturday morning kind of cartoon and. You know it it it sets the tone that everyone could easily get into and I went, I’m here. I immediately know what’s going on. It has a different Marvel logo, it has a different kind of a soundtrack. It’s setting itself in a in a particular period and I was like, I’ll go with this. This is totally different to every ******* thing else. This isn’t a dark and gritty reboot. This isn’t. Anything really to do with the rest of the Marvel Universe? Yeah, kinda. Which makes me happy. And I was like, I’ll go with this. I’m immediately just going to be like, all right, what do you got? Jill Yeah. I think the thing that’s so immersive about it is the visual language that they’ve lent into so strongly and so thoroughly like the the set design and production. All the set pieces, the costumes, everything like that was like. Beautiful, like there was such attention to detail and there was not like a wasted moment on screen. It was so interesting that we’re talking about like, how like futuristic retro it is but. Like the. Costuming wasn’t futuristic. That was still like grounded in 60s fashion. Speaker Hmm yeah. Dion I had a really good time just watching the sets and the costumes. I was like they have actually paid a lot of detail to the costuming, not only of the signature folk, but the people around them too. Looked sharp as ****, I gotta say. Quinny And. Jill Yeah, like the the space suits and their hero suits were were still like. Grounded within like that 60s, like retro futuristic style, but had like the the strong 60s fashion elements as well in terms of like the textures of the fabrics and things that they used but the the colour theory throughout was fantastic and yeah just the the visual language that they. Used in this film was just so Cohen. Peta It’s a joy for. The arts, hmm. Dion Joy for the eyes until we get to the failure of the film. Quinny Wow. Jesus. OK, so, so just a reminder folks, the deal also sat through Superman and huffed. Speaker Go further on. Dion I did. I did half. He did half I wanna also. Caveat that I did see Fantastic Four, but beforehand I had. Speaker 6 So. Dion To watch. Beforehand I had to win. The Avatar trailer 17 times. I don’t. I don’t know how to explain that in terms of everything else, but I had to sit through the Avatar trailer. Too many ******* times, and that may have influenced my decision. And how I enjoyed that film slightly too many times. Jill Anyway, yeah, it’s almost like they strapped you to that chair and made you watch them 17 times. Dion They kind of did. Yeah. You know, because you know, as we all know, in those kind of cinema things, the seats are gold. And if you leave one, you’re done. It’s going coming back but anyway. Speaker 3 Yeah. Dion OK, enough of that. Fantastic for what? What are your first four impressions? Quinny I just wanna know why you’re getting ready to throw it. Speaker 2 Hello. Quinny Under the bus. To you ohh. Speaker 2 No, no. Quinny Like there have been a couple of times that you’ve already kind of started. Coming out of. Swinging. I wanna know why the big. Speaker There is. Dion Rubber punches out. Well, first, I mean, we all hate John Krasinski. And. No, I’m just joking. That’s. Three just threw that out there for. Peta Come on for John Krasinski. And he’s not like. Jill He can’t even defend himself. Quinny He’s such a nice guy. Everybody talking. Dion About, I’m talking about how effusively I love the costuming, the design, the aesthetic, the way that it just kind of moves the story along really, really quickly. It throws in some amazing nods and references to the historical stuff, like there’s covers of famous Fantastic Four issues thrown in very quickly. I know you’ve got. Quinny Oh my God, that made me so happy. Dion Classic villains like Mole Man and the Red Ghost. Yeah. Ish red. Red ghost off. Speaker 3 Well, sort of. Dion Like all of that stuff is kind of great. Herbie is amazing. The fantastic car, which I think often gets ignored. Quinny Yeah. Jill Uh-huh. Dion In, in a lot of, this is part of the fun about the Fantastic Four is all of the bits and pieces that Reed comes up with. That’s all kind of themed Herbie, as I said. Yeah. And he was. Quinny Great. OK. Does everybody know the history of why Herbie exists? Jill No. Quinny OK, this is my my favorite stupid piece of ******* history. So in the 60s, when the Fantastic Four was being turned into a cartoon, they went OK we’re going to do the Fantastic Four and the standards people of America went hang on. One of the characters is on fire. Speaker Tell. Quinny We can’t have a children’s TV show where the children want to emulate the heroes and have a character be on fire. Why not so? In the 60s cartoon of Fantastic Four. Johnny Storm is removed entirely and is replaced by Herbie. This is where Herbie came from. Wow. Speaker Oh. Yeah. Quinny So the fact that, like the fact that he’s in the movie is ******* hilarious. But his history is even better. Jill That’s wild. Quinny And I’m pretty sure he actually talked in the animated series, but yeah, and didn’t just make bleeps and. Speaker 6 Wheels. I like the Droid vibe it was. Dion Didn’t. Yeah, it didn’t sound like. Yeah, it didn’t sound like a 60s frickin B. Speaker Yeah. Dion I just. I just remembered something. Thing when we get this Sue storm into the proper Marvel Universe, she’s going to have to come up against Namor, yes. Quinny Hmm. Dion And and that’s a lot of that’s a that’s a whole. Jean Grey, Wolverine, Cyclops thing going to happen right there anyway. That’s right. Jill That’s something we can work on. Dion Later. Yeah, there’s a lot of smart in that one anyway, yeah. Speaker Yes. Quinny And apparently on on the set all the time, Vanessa Kirby is like, So what? What’s going on with Namal? Pedro’s like, for ***** sake, right? Dion Here she knows what’s going on. She gets all the cast members. Quinny Mm-hmm. Speaker 3 Yeah. Dion Yeah. Look, I. Had a great time with it, like, you know, really good introductions to quick introductions to characters. Everyone got a little bit of ability to show who they were as characters very rapidly. Like, you didn’t have to pay to. Much there, but I also really appreciated how much they felt like a family and they felt caring and it was showing them in a particular way, which it wasn’t like, oh, these are conflicted people. They don’t know how to, you know, where’s the drama? I mean, the drama isn’t in the family. The drama is external forces. And I think they got that really well because there was a really cool vibe to sort of be like ohh this is, this is cool kind of family like like I I would take children to watch it and be like see, this is how you’re nice to each other. You don’t have to hit each other. You know. Quinny Don’t set each other on fire. Dion Don’t set each other on fire. Try stop working so hard. Quinny Pete Jew talk to me. Jill Oh my God. Ohh feels like so long ago but it was only Friday. Dion Four days ago that you saw it. Jill Ohh my goodness, I really liked the film. I had a good time. I saw it well. I mean, all the things that I said about the costume and set design and all that stuff was just fabulous. I thought like the story pacing was good. Like they they got to the point and they, you know they executed ABC. You know, here’s what’s happening. Here’s our problem. And here’s how we overcome. It, like they did that. UM. I thought the action bats were good. But again, I’m just not getting my **** blown off. Guys. The jet film. We’re back to the **** rating scale. OK0 **** means it was ******* amazing because they blew them both off, but two **** is bad because it doesn’t mean that I didn’t like the movie. Quinny Back to. Rating system. Jill It just didn’t **** **. Way and it made me start to think that there was something wrong with me. Like am I not finding enjoyment out of these movies anymore? Like is it becoming passe? Is it like over saturation? Like what’s the issue? I think what the issue is is that too many movies. Are just safe. They’re in a safe zone. They do what they do on the box and they do no more than that. Speaker Hmm. Jill I’m not getting any like thrill, danger, excitement from these movies anymore. It feels really middle of the road and pedestrian and that’s not to say that Fantastic Four was a bad movie. It was a good movie because it did its job, but it didn’t go above and beyond. And become an exceptional film. And I just, I feel that way about Superman as well. That was not exceptional to me, and it just kind of feels like every time we go and see a big blockbuster, I come out like feeling it was it was middling level. Speaker Yes. Quinny I agree, but I want to keep Pete’s. Take on it? Sure. Peta I think it’s very well constructed, beautifully made. Film, I mean, we’ve talked about the production design and the look of it already, which is great. You know, we’ve talked about the the structure which is logical and probably better constructed than Superman. And and I do think it’s funny that I’ve kind of liked the exposition. Free tool here that I hated so much and electric state, same tool, different vibe. It’s it’s easy to get into and you want it to be because there are some plot points that that, that require a very high level of suspension of disbelief. Even for a comic book movie, you know, usually I I I I try to give the the Budweiser and the ********* like. A bit of a break in in certain genres, but I struggled a bit with a couple of the plot points that very much drove some parts of the story. Because it was a bit wibbly wobbly. Sciency want see? Yes. Yeah, like, don’t. Jill Get into the proton stream, but get into the proton stream, yeah. Dion Yeah, you’re Superman. Peta That was and, and I think the issue is I I I get I I have a tendency to get a little bit distracted if I can’t. If that suspension of disbelief gets interrupted, and I think that these particular plot points were distracting enough that even though I was enjoying the film, I still. Got kind of. Kicked out of this story a. Little bit by thinking? Yeah, but Nah. Quinny Are these things that need to be talked about in spoilery territory or? Peta Ohh, everything needs to be talked about in spoiler territory. It’s it’s just and if they weren’t plotted drivers. Dion OK, alright, fair enough. Peta It would have felt a little bit different as well, but it it did kind of feel like as well constructed and entertaining and beautiful as the film is. I kind of agree with Jill that you kind of I didn’t personally come out of the end of it going like. **** yeah. Amazing superhero film. It was just kind of like, ohh, that was like really well constructed and good looking and entertaining. And yeah, Pedro. Quinny I I have, I agree very much with with everything you guys have said. My biggest problem with it is that. The movie didn’t have its next gear up like all the way through it puddled along at an enjoyable kind of pace. It was doing what was needed, you know, things were kind of getting, you know, you had your action beats and stuff like that. But then when you get to your climax. It doesn’t have the next gear, it can’t shift it back a cog. And really. Go ****. Let’s go. It didn’t have that it, you know, the the climax I kind of was like and oh, OK, right. We’re done. ****. OK. Huh. And that’s. Kind of implementing of the whole film that it’s really well made as as we’ve all said, well made, well shot, lovely costumes, lovely everything. Jill Great performances, everybody was on their a game. Quinny But nothing that made me go ****. That was a moment. Like, you know, there was nothing. There was no moment like. Speaker Yeah. Quinny The thors hammer. With that, America, there was no kind of really emotional beat of. Speaker Yeah. Quinny Vision saying you know that love is just pain. You know, whatever. I can’t even remember the quote. But you know those those those really like deep seated moments that make you go ohh. That got me right in the heart. Speaker Hmm. Peta Which Thunderbolts did for me, and that, you know, I. I guess if if if you’re going to hold it up against superhero films we’ve seen this year from a. Speaker Hmm. Peta Is it a good movie? Speaker Hmm. Peta Mm-hmm. You know, well-rounded perspective, I would still put Thunderbolts ahead of this, regardless of how beautifully. Thought out the world was. Quinny Yeah, like there, there were lovely moments and their lovely ideas. I love the idea of the whole world pulling together to go **** we’ve got. Eight months to build something or, you know, and we’re all going to pull in this together and we’re all going to come together over something. It’s a great concept, but it just never felt like it had those that, that personal danger of what we saw in Thunderbolt and. A lot of people who are doing the, which one did you like more, Superman or or fantastic? 4. I personally thought the Superman took more risks. You know, it was weirder. It was. Peta Well, it was more. It was more current in in its messaging and the. The risks that it. Was taking in that messaging as well, and I think also you kind of. Dion Hmm. Peta This is a bit of an imbalance, I suppose in the rate that one escalates because you can kind of attempt to escalate the stakes to the highest possible point and the escalate them so high that the audience cannot believe. That. That jeopardy is going to come to pass in that context, which actually, which actually kind of destroys that moment, is kind of gotta be like a believable, worst case scenario that they’re facing. Not like, well, of course, they’re trying to find a way to avert that. There’s gonna be a little part of you that’s like. Quinny Hmm. Peta Ohh, they might fail, which I kind. Speaker Hmm. Peta Of felt in this. Quinny Yeah, yeah. Yeah, like. Peta Otherwise, you don’t feel the jeopardy, you know, the way that you should. Speaker Hmm. Quinny Yeah, and and I don’t know, I feel like something like Superman has has more of a an alter kind of vision behind it. Like, you know, that felt like James Gunn saying something and his whole thing about found family and his whole thing about being outsiders and, you know, he. He has a particular thumbprint that is all over that. This one I couldn’t tell you. A thumbprint it was. Peta Which is funny because it is tonally and structurally much more consistent. Quinny Absolutely. Jill Yeah, it’s a. Package. Yeah, it has an aesthetic and it, you know, executes that, but yeah. Quinny Yeah. And and like. Jill There’s there’s special sauce. Quinny Yeah. And and I don’t. Know what it is because. I was wanting to get excited. I was super wanting to get excited and it just never quite hit me. And even when big things happened, I was like. Jill Karina made a good point that she thought we were going to see them fail. Based on what we saw in the post credit scene of Thunderbolts and I want to make a point where I kind of wish that that scene never existed because it coloured my expectations. Speaker Hmm. Jill This film I was going in. Quinny Yes, I’m. Peta I forget what that scene. Jill Was ohh that’s actually it was it was there. There was like ohh we can. We’re picking up something on our radar and then they zoom into space and they see the Fantastic Four ships flying through space and that bit. Yeah. Yeah. So I had a different expectation of what I was expecting in this film. And so I’m like. Speaker 6 It’s just. Dion Just a a rocket ship in the sky. Kind of, or if it is, we don’t know. Jill Just on the edge of my seat the whole time, thinking. Well, how are they gonna get to our earth? When are we gonna see that? When are we gonna see that? And. And I’m like, so I wasn’t in the moment with everything else that was happening because I was anticipating something else to. Quinny Yeah. Yeah. And and maybe that’s that, that other cog that. Speaker Happen. Quinny I was expecting. Maybe that’s the the the next thing up is that you know, they do like, fail or they do something that that then took it to a different level. Speaker Yeah. Jill That causes them to and then this is how we get to this moment. But like now that we’re not going to have The Avengers doomsday film until another 18 months. Quinny Jill I’m like, wow, how are they going to get our butts in the seats for that one? Quinny Yeah. Jill Because after watching this movie, I’m like. Ah, I don’t really know where we’re going. Quinny Neller. Peta At the end, do you feel safe now with your opinion to share? Dion I mean, my opinion is based on Fantastic Four and how I enjoyed this movie or didn’t. Quinny Which is a really difficult thing to do to to take the movie entirely on its own. Yeah, been its own value and. Speaker 2 What? Quinny So aside from my expectation, aside from the other movie I watched a week and a half before, yeah, aside from. Dion Yeah. Quinny All of that, yeah. Dion Look there. This is the thing. Like I I really like to to throw this through. I really enjoyed Thunderbolts because it broke expectations that I had. I was there for it to say, what are you gonna do with this? And I was. Like wow, that is a great movie. I had certain expectations about Superman or I was wondering what was going to go, and I felt it wasn’t as good as I thought. It’s going. And I went to Fantastic Four. Saying how is this going to go? And I thought, yeah, I had a little bit of the same thing the the ending. Thing towards the end and some of the reasoning and stuff I was a bit like oh, this doesn’t make sense and I don’t understand where it does or doesn’t fit and I feel like they’re going to have to for some reason do another one in that universe for some reason. And I’m just a bit confused. I feel like it just kind of didn’t. You’re right, had that. Where’s that gear? Where’s the gear? Range. Where does it go up? Where do the stakes get bigger? Where does it become really important? But really I liked it because it. Was you can see across the entire movie from start to finish. It was a love letter to the time of the original Fantastic Four. Like all of the Kirby, all of the weird stories are just written into it. So it is made with a lot of reverence and a lot of love. And I really liked that because there was good messaging that was in there. Speaker Hmm. Dion The execution or some of the reasoning is just I don’t know how this fits. In the rest, like I love that it’s an outsider film, but I also don’t then. But what’s are we are we going to follow these people? Is that the point or is it just having a second one? Like I don’t. Know like it’s another Fantastic Four is like. Quinny Yeah. Dion Will we see him? Jill Yeah. Are we making this movie just to make a sequel? Just so we can make? Money. Quinny Yeah. Well, or are we making this one just because we needed to have a really good bad guy for the MCU. We’ve already announced who that bad guy. So we really had to have this film before doomsday could happen. Jill Yeah. There’s a lot of very upset people in. Our screening at the end of this movie. Quinny Yeah, yeah, there was. Dion Yeah, Speaking of bad guys, how do we feel about the villain aspects of this one? Speaker Hmm. Jill I was curious to how I would ever see Galactus executed on film, and I think it. Up to a point, it was well done. Dion Is it? Is it better than the giant cloud? Speaker 6 Ohh yeah, we don’t need. Dion So the. Jill Some amorphous cloud like I want to see an actual Galactus and like how? Dion So. Jill Do you do? That I mean, especially after we had the Eternals where, you know, we have things God like beings in space, it’s like, OK, well now how do we make a Galactus? Speaker Hmm. Jill That was really cool, but then there was a moment where I thought it was. Not cool. Maybe I’ll talk about that in sport. Dion How? How did you feel about Charlotte Owl? Jill I thought it was sick. I’m like, yeah, let’s go back to the original Silver Surfer. Yeah. People will be surprised to know the original Silver Surfer was not a dude. Quinny I I knew that Michelle label was an alternate, but I didn’t realize that. Jill I think the original Silver Surfer was a woman, and then it was her lover that begged Galactus to trade places with her. Quinny Yeah, yeah. Entry. Dion Interesting, yeah. Jill And disappointed we didn’t get the what if Aunt May was the Herald for Galactus and we didn’t get the golden oldie. Dion What are you talking about? Marisa? To me, isn’t that old? Quinny I I think. Speaker 3 No. Quinny I think there were there were sequences in there watching the the Silver Surfer surfing through. Speaker Ohh. Quinny Like Kirby Crackle, ******* cosmic power surfing through black holes where I was like, **** yeah, this is cool. You know, surfing around curving laser beams and ****. I was like. Dion Well, grab. Yeah. Speaker 3 Yes. Dion ******* hell yeah, that’s that’s the weird success stuff. That was the bitter. Speaker Hmm. Dion Was like, oh, this is great. Like, how do you put the Silver Surfer in? Why does it doesn’t even make sense. And it’s like, yeah, it does. If you lean into that. Crazy kind of 60s vibe that it originally was about. It’s like, yeah, I’m just gonna surf, like, through cosmic waves, man, it’s. Like. Cool. That’s fun. Yeah, it helps if you take LSD. Quinny Hmm. Speaker Yeah. Dion You know. Quinny Like there was something so ******* cool with all of that visual stuff. Yeah, that up until now, we’ve never really gotten because the only other time we’re seeing the Silver Surfer, he was on Earth, so it didn’t have that real cosmic kind of. Dion Maybe. He was the T1000 man. Jill Thing, yeah. Speaker Hmm. Dion He just kind. Of morphed around as needed for the plot. Quinny Your thoughts on on the Silver Surfer? Peta Neutral. Cool. I I don’t have a lot of feelings about the Silver Surfer as a character, but I thought she was. I thought it it was cool execution. Dion Yeah. Quinny Hmm. Yeah, look cool. And I like the the human eyes too. I thought that was kind of cool. Yeah, cause you I feel like you still need something to latch onto for a motion, yeah. Speaker Mm-hmm. Quinny I thought that was smart. Speaker And. Look, there’s look. Dion There’s lots of fun stuff in there. Standouts for me. I I I need to say I really annoyed that they didn’t rename it the fantastic six because to be honest, there are 6 characters in this movie. By the end of it, you’re watching it like there’s not just four, there’s more. Who you’re following through with, which was a bit of a surprise because I was like, OK, right. You’re just going to lean very heavily into the entire thing. Sure. I really. Kirby, I love that they went into galactic space because that’s kind of that’s that kind of that’s really fun. Like Reed Richards is that kind of character who, you know, is your prototypical 50s, you know, American Americanized painting, you know, of, like, it’s a pipe and slippers and, you know. Dad’s home. Jill Yeah. The Norman Rockwell. Yes. Please looking forward. Dion Yeah, absolutely. 100% The Rockwell and it it. But presented in that very conservative way, but he’s not a conservative. Like you know, it’s kind of like I’m just going to learn how to fold matter and bend this, and then we’re going to space. All right, everyone, safety third. Let’s go. That’s kind of Reed riches. Like he built a thing called the Ultimate Nullifier. And it kills anything in the known Marvel Universe. And then he’s just like ohh someone. Quinny He’s. Dion Like. Speaker Like. Dion ******** Reed, you know like. Quinny One thing you you said to me afterwards too. Jill Yeah, I mean. He just casually solved teleportation in this. Dion Yeah, yeah. Jill Film or whatever. Quinny Whatever. Whatever one thing you said to me too, and I agreed like they’ve always struggled to get Reed Richards powers looking good on screen. Like it’s very hard to do stretchy guy without it looking dumb, but one of the things that is kind of sad is that in the. Dion Yes. Quinny The comics and everything. Quite often you’ll see him, and that stretchiness of his body is a. Is. A all about echoing who he’s mentally. Yeah. So his arms are over here. You know, riding on the blackboard and his other arms over here, smoking a pipe and his head is, you know, stretched out over here, looking at the, you know, out the window or something like that. And there wasn’t much of that. It was very much like, this is traditionally handsome Pedro. Peta Yeah. Jill It’s it’s tiny. Yeah, it’s a tiny bit like he was doing. A little bit of the blackboard. Stuff and the catching things, but. Speaker 6 Yeah, I don’t. Jill I don’t think we really got to see him actually use his powers much in the film as a whole. Quinny Nope. Nope. Dion It’s very, very expensive to animate Pedro Pascal. Peta It’s it’s a dump power. Speaker 3 Pete. Pete, in there, it’s true. Jill I mean, it might be a time you. Would change your mind. Speaker Yeah. Speaker 3 Blubbering time, no. Quinny Should we rate it because we are, we’re going on a. Peta Yes, yes. Quinny Long time. Ohh good. Jill Oh my goodness. I don’t know. I’m gonna pick a number. Dion How many tips off Jim? Speaker 6 Yeah, the tip scale. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Jill Yeah. The two tip film, but. Quinny I mean, I’m gonna. I will change the rating system if I have to, but it’s gonna really. Dion I had some I had some issues with it, but I did enjoy. I had a fun time. I’m gonna give it a 75. No 70. I’m gonna go 70. Sorry. I’m. I’m back down a little bit mainly because I really loved. Quinny On the website. Dion The scenic I love the the the characters together. They didn’t quite mesh as much and I felt like some of them were lost like I think Ben Grimm’s the thing. Speaker 6 Hmm. Dion Totally kind of lost in the hole as much to do. No, I I didn’t get enough of that thing because one of the most important things I know about Ben Grimace, he’s the real heart of the team. And while that was great, like I loved, you know, uncles, you’ve got uncles going on there. I loved it. You know, Johnny and and Ben are totally down for, you know, being uncles. I just thought he got a little bit lost and I have big issues with some of the purple headed warrior of the lactose, which I’ll talk about in spoilers, but yeah, overall fun time. Not a long time. Quinny Fair enough, Pete. Number. Peta I’m going to say I’m going to say I’m going to say 76 because I do think that it was. Really well put together but. The the I mean I’ll have some stuff to say when we spoil some things. Yeah, I’ll try to keep it brief. Actually, there was one point I think I said to you guys that I’d nearly walked out of there with more tips. Than I started with. Quinny I’m still wanting to know how that works. Peta Luckily, luckily I I didn’t have to go full rage out on it. Quinny So I’m very impressed. Peta Umm. But yeah, it’s just those kinds of like those those plot points that that just didn’t quite work for me were just a little bit kind of too conveniently driving the plot. And I didn’t quite buy even in the world of the story, that really kind of helped me back from from. Losing any tips at all? Quinny So so number of tips is 2. Hmm but. Peta Ohh, also the young Kelly’s Uncanny Valley baby was distressed. Quinny Though apparently that they had a live baby on set 99% of the time. Peta In some shots, I was gonna say you, but you can tell the. Shots that aren’t, yeah. Dion Yeah, yeah. Babies don’t look like babies on screen. You gotta pay. They yeah. Peta I mean, either it was a fully uncanny valley baby or they were doing something to kind of make the baby look like it was looking, but there was something. Yeah. And whenever whenever Ben Grimm’s holding the baby, it’s like. That ain’t no real. Jill Baby, what number did you give it, Pete, 7676. Dion Yeah, we all know. Quinny And Dion, still at 70, isn’t. Dion He. Yes, I’m still there. Quinny Yeah, Dan, how many tips have you got left by? Dion The way? Yeah, just one tip. Quinny Wanted. Jill Only go off 1. Dion I only want it. Yeah, I mean, well. I mean, I don’t know. It’s moved. Maybe the **** moved like it. It’s not in the same place it started out, but it hasn’t gone completely off. It’s around the side visiting the armpit. Jill You can’t. But I gave Superman. Quinny I can probably look it up if you want. Jill Yeah. Peta See, I just kind of take it on a mood basis. It’s on a day by day basis. Dion Briefly. Quinny Hmm. Dion Phil was right. I mean, I think. One of the telling things long rated. Peta Never compare my ratings for one movie to another movie. Quinny Superman 65. Speaker Oh. Dion While while Jill is thinking, I mean it’s fair enough. Remember, she only saw it like 4 days ago and it feels like. Jill OK, here’s the weird thing though. Like after I watched Superman, I kind of wanted to see it again, but I don’t know if that was to try and enjoy it more or like to get the things that I didn’t really get about it. But this one I’m not really like in a rush to go back. To the movie for it. Quinny Hmm. Jill But. I did like it more than Superman. Then. I think I’m going to give it. 69. Speaker 3 Nice. Dion Nice. Jill It was just a nice movie. Quinny Yeah, 69 and still 2 tips. Peta Yeah. Dion Quinny, what have you. Quinny Yeah. Got. I’m very similar to you know, I’m I’m probably I’m probably more in line with the pizza like. Yeah, 70. I’m going to go 77. I don’t know why. Yeah. Actually. Peta Just feels like a 77. Speaker Vibe. Quinny Like I I was a bit more warm on Superman whereas this. Like it’s it’s a perfectly fun, pleasant film. Like there’s nothing wrong with it, but it also just to me, felt like it. Was. Didn’t have much, particularly to say. Other than you know, wouldn’t it be nice if we could all work together and yeah. But also, maybe that’s what we needed at the moment is something that wasn’t too dangerous or whatever and. I don’t know. Yeah, it’s it’s 77 for me, but I just find it so. Dion Weird. We’ve, we’ve, we’ve, we’ve focused a lot on the non spoilery side and we’re running rapidly running out of time. So let’s go to the dinner clip to find out why they’re all such a nice blending together, then come back and see how much we. Can jam pack into spoil it section? Peta Leave if you haven’t seen it, because I’m going to spoil the very, very, very end of the film. Speaker Dion Pete is thrown down. Here you go, alright? Speaker 5 What are you doing? You mean what am? I. Doing and then you’re gonna ruin your appetite. I’m hungry, but never late for Sunday dinner. Should we wait? Speaker I guess you’re late. What I what do you? Speaker 5 Mean. What do you mean? What do I mean? Speaker You’re late for dinner. Ohh yes we are. We’re late for. By single minute. Speaker 5 Dinner. Yes, we were just just had to. Speaker Some aloe iodine on my shoulder. We got. Do his shoulder and. Speaker 5 Why is that breakfast cereal in the dinner table? Why are you being? Speaker Weird. Not not being. Acting. Weird. Well, I’m doing that weird thing with your face, so. Oh, we don’t know what you’re talking about. Speaker 5 Are you pregnant? Speaker Jimmy at the pregnant. Speaker 5 Yes, yes. Speaker You know, I know he just cannot. Speaker 1 That have you looked at your husband’s face? Speaker Keep his secret. Speaker 5 What, really, yeah. Speaker 2 What you are going to be the best mom? Oh, my God. Speaker And you are going. To be the best dad. Just kidding. You are out of your depth, but we. We’re going to be the best uncles ever. OK, we should eat. Dion Oh, there you go. Yes, that is exactly the kind of thing that we loved about the film. It’s really nice. Spoiler logos up, Pete. Destroy away. Oh, wait. Sorry. She has been there at the beginning. She will be there at the end. We here. Peter. Quinny ETA. Peta It’s not even my biggest complaint. It’s just that there was a moment at the end where I was like, I am going to have to have another full on rant about killing off female characters via self sacrifice and doing it to two female characters in one scene. UM. Quinny Thank God. Peta They recovered. They did recover. They recovered from it a bit and it didn’t really feel like it wasn’t going to recover. But for a moment there I was like, oh, oh, we are going to throw down. Jill I don’t believe you didn’t realise the magic baby was gonna save the day. Speaker 3 Sacrifice. Peta I did. It did, but there was a part of me that was kind of like you better ******* not. Dion Yeah, yeah, there was a little bit of that was it? It’s like, don’t you ******* dare? Jesus Christ, he’s not a. Defibrillator. He’s a baby. Jill I mean, you don’t have a. Magic mcguffin. The whole time and then not? Yeah. Speaker 3 Yeah. Dion True, although, but as as we all. Peta My biggest my my bigger complaints. Dion Know Franklin Richards. The monster. Peta My bigger complaints were were the iffy plot points like I’m like, correct me. I’m not a linguist, but I’m pretty sure you cannot translate an entire language with three words like I don’t. I don’t know that that’s possible. The Rosetta Stone had more than than than 3 words. Speaker 3 Yeah. Hmm. Dion Now. Peta I I don’t see how I don’t see how. Dion Important to understand that this is in the Universe 8 to 8 where things can exist a little differently and they are not this bog standard and it was one of those. Peta Oh. Speaker 6 But it’s it’s. Jill Things are like super. Peta It’s not the kind of plot point that you can explain away in your brain with that kind of reasoning like it’s not, but. Dion It has to be because that’s why I was. I was ******** about it and I yelled at Quinney until it came up to the thing. It’s like, but it’s not the real Galactus. And I’m like. Oh yeah, **** everything in this movie is not the real one from our universe. What? I’m getting angry at can easily be retconned by an executive who doesn’t like the feedback form. Speaker Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Jill But this is also a universe where Reed is a super genius that can solve teleportation and like, move a planet. That’s. Speaker Hmm. Peta It just like the jump between ohh, I’ve managed to do it to an egg. Jill Come on. Peta Let’s do it to a planet. Nothing will go wrong. I actually, I almost thought that, like, that’s where it was gonna get interesting. Like, that was gonna be this universe is snap moment when they, like, accidentally. Left half the people behind or something. Quinny That that’s what I that’s. What I was kinda hoping for like. Jill Yeah, there weren’t really many stakes. Quinny No, I ******* love the idea of them actually going *******. We’re gonna teleport the whole planet and. Dion And ******* it. Quinny Up what? Could something goes wrong like they they go to the wrong place or they find themselves in the ******* negative zone. Jill Like that ******* DC convergence where the two planets had to merge together. Peta Or and that’s the thing. Dion They do. How did they do faster than life travel, but. Not work out how radar. Exists stop the fact that Silver Surfer was coming to blow up all of their teleportation machines that that shaped. Quinny Me. She’s very fast. Peta And in your hand it just kind of looked like a regular size spaceship. I don’t know why they couldn’t have just muted it or something like it’s like felt like a lot of like ohh The thing is coming very slowly. This is the only thing we can think of. Dion That was my big ***** point that I will get my big boy britches on and have a whinge about. Galactus’s ******* world eating ship is just a giant space grinder and. And I didn’t like that because if you’re gonna go to, like the extent that they went to, which was really curvy, whole super 60s kind of thing. Speaker Right. Dion Make the spaceship ******* weird. Make it the giant machines that don’t. You don’t understand the purpose of what they do like. Have something that’s in there. Speaker 3 Hmm. Jill Yeah. What happened to like the? Big straw that he just shoves in the. Planet and like sucks it up like. Dion Yeah, all of that. But I mean, just like have the weird like, Kirby was great for drawing like. Contraptions that you love on the contraption, and they don’t. You don’t know why or how they work, or they have like extra bits that go off and they crackle with energy that you don’t understand how it sort of goes. He didn’t care about making it look well built. He cared about making something cool and stupid. And then they put Galactus. Fair enough, looked pretty good, you know, for a big. Quinny I look I. Liked big man collectors. I was down. Jill For that, yeah. I didn’t like how his. Height fluctuated with convenience. Peta Say he wasn’t that big in the end. Though was he he? He looked. Jill The lost, yeah. Dion A bit of juice out the back of the tube and then he got a bit. Quinny Maybe. Speaker 6 So then he went and shrunk a bit. Dion Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Quinny OK, let’s go with that, yeah. Jill He’s like ohh, now he can fit in this big circle on the ground that he like, would have Godzilla crushed the moment ago. Dion Crush. Sure. Peta Confused if planet size or if Godzilla size. Dion Yeah. Also how would sue push if 2? Quinny Because her push is not based on size, it’s based on willpower. Dion No, but push, baby. Ohh no. OK, recover. Push, galactus. Big baby. Oh, no much. Peta Is is based on magic mummy power? Quinny Yeah, yes, yeah. Like that. That big kind of finale stuff. I was like when he started to climb back out. I was like, ohh. OK now. Dion No. Well. Quinny We’re gonna get some shoes. Jill Yeah, I was like. Oh ****, I jumped. Quinny Yeah. Yeah. I was like, ******* sweet. Great. OK, now we’re gonna really ******* now, now we’re gonna wrap it up, but Nope. That’s just that’s it. Cool. Everybody get home. I would love to have seen them do something real. ******* ballsy. I would have loved to have seen them lose the earth, you know? Yeah. So that that’s why this Fantastic Four, like instead of. Yeah, that’s the run like this. Jill On the run on the. Sleeper on. Peta I’m not sure that Marvel is doing its answer to the trolley problem properly. Quinny Why not teleport the ******* baby and the family to another end of the universe, or to a different ******* dimension or whatever? Jill Because they answered that in the slack with pocket holes does. Speaker Yeah. Yes. Dion I mean. I look I I I I really got that like I enjoyed the bit where they were like, no, this is it honestly. Like we we we may be the people that everyone looks up to on the Earth and that’s a bit problematic to put that much. Responsibility. On four people who were there, but at least they always did it with heart, honesty, integrity and overall admission of failure. To the world. Speaker Hmm. Dion

After the success of a web series named Italian Spiderman, SBS an Australian broadcaster contacted its creators in regards to adapting it for television. Unfortunately due to licensing issues, such a thing was unable to be made into a reality. Still interested in partnering up, SBS asked Alrugo Entertainment to develop a different show instead. Three different shows were then pitched and the one that was picked up became what we now know to be "Danger 5". The show, which was recorded in 2012 takes place during World War 2 but is stylized to look like it was recorded in the 1960's. Danger 5 is a group of five international spies on a mission to kill Adolf Hitler and stop him from world domination... Yes, you heard that correctly. This show was truly unique in more ways than could ever be explained. Was this out of the box approach at television programming enough to entertain the S1E1 guys? Find out as they review Danger 5's pilot episode, "I Danced For Hitler". www.S1E1POD.com

What if Spiderman was a fat, cigarette smoking Italian who could disappear, fly, chop off limbs, use animals as weapons, make toy motorcycles into real ones by smashing them on the ground, bite people, throw orgies, smash heads w/ rocks, & use a mustache boomerang bomb, but what he really loves is shooting people w/ guns? Wonder no longer! Featuring Sarah Paglione of the W.E.L.P. podcast. Enjoy!

An adventurer/neurosurgeon/rock star finds out that aliens have infiltrated society and battles them in Buckaroo Banzai. Then a shotgun toting obese superhero who's worse than the villain saves(?) the day in Italian Spiderman. It's superheros...sort of!

Podgal kicks off the show with an update on her latest outing where everything went splendidly right. Yay! PodGuy likes inventing – what can we say. His newest idea seems a bit out there, what do you think? And, speaking of questions, Hey, Late Night Drinkers, why are you drinking so late – get that new hashtag trending #podcastandchill! A shout out to last week's guest Space Goat! We want him back on the show! #bringback #spacegoat This leads to a discussion on Harry Potter on Broadway, the epic disaster of the Spiderman Play, the classic Spiderman cartoon and Italian Spiderman (check it out). PodGuy wants to open up marketing to anything and everything and PodGal tries to shut it down. Naturally, this falls into epic marketer, KISS, discussion. Finally, we talk about the origin of the term Jumping the Shark. And, in there somewhere, is the Phoning It in With Harland Williams. Need a new tie, a quality yet affordable tie?

Scurvy, botulism, exploding teeth and man-eating demon polar bears. This week Sarah and Amelia read Dan Simmons' The Terror , and discuss why the Arctic is not a great place to be a European explorer in the 19th century. Also, Sarah quotes "Italian Spiderman" a whole heck of a lot for someone who doesn't know any quotes from "Italian Spiderman."
It's the all new Episode 22 of BatSquad Radio, wherein Kevin serves up a spoiler-free assessment of "Guardians Of The Galaxy 2" while Dave tries to figure out what he just saw in "American Gods" on Starz. Denny forces a convention promoter to make him a First Place trophy for his recent costume contest victory then gets called out big time on the blatant hypocrisy behind his boycotting-then-attending certain events. Also covered are previews of the upcoming Wizard Philly and NYCC updates, the merits of Free Comic Book Day and a stellar review of the recent East Coast Comicon. Things turn ugly as the raging debate over "Italian Spiderman vs. Italian Batman" reaches a boiling point. And Dave and Denny don't care about Kev's writing career. It's 60 minutes of pop culture pandemonium and the admission price, as always, is FREE.
