Hey listeners, Episode 302 is here and it's part 2 of our "Super-Fantastic Summer" episodes where, this week, we're taking a look at the other superhero film to hit theaters recently. Yes, this week, we're taking a look at the MCU's Fantastic Four: First Steps! It's not a stretch to say that we all liked this one, actually, this film rocks! It's HOT and we're going to be totally transparent about opinions!

Part 2 of our discussion of the Fantastic Four: Hereafter storyline does not talk about the story at all and jumps right into an uninterrupted hour-long discussion about the hosts' and guests' religions, lack of them, or status in-between, in the least judgemental, least sanctimoneus of this kind of conversation that we've ever been a part of. We each  found this discussion informative and enlightening.   Let us know whether or not you agree marriedwithcontent@gmail.com. or mwcpodcast@bluesky.social   We will answer all serious questions or comments, and will read them and respond on a future episode. Please let us know on your email if you do not want your email read and responded to in this way.  

Mário Freitas and Lucas Pereira, the creators of the new Jack Kirby “fantasy” tribute comic ‘The Man Who Dreamt The Impossible' (Image Comics), join us internationally this week as the comic hits the stands! We'll discuss the book, its genesis and inspiration, and its goal!      You can get the book wherever fine comics are sold, so ask your local funnybookseller NOW!

Blockbuster summer of 2025 happened! Fantastic Four and Superman returned to the theater! It was amazing to see these both of these iconic comic book characters back on the big screen. During this podcast we wanted to reflect on our thoughts about the new Fantastic Four movie and talk about the original 1966 three-issue comic book story, The Galactus Trilogy, that appeared in Fantastic Four #48–50. Even though this story has several adaptations why is it still considered one of the most memorable comic book stories that Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created of all time. How is it different than the movie? Tune in for great comic book conversation about Marvels first family. If you like this episode check out our previous episode reviewing Fantastic Four: Full Circle.

Step into the Baxter Building with us as we review The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the newest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We explore the rich history of Marvel's “First Family,” including the long-standing debate between Jack Kirby and Stan Lee over their creation, plus a look back at past adaptations—some loved, some… less so. 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.

With the recent release of the new Fantastic Four movie, we decided to explore one of the FF's definitive sagas -- "The Galactus Trilogy" from Fantastic Four #48 - 50!We go back to the Marvel Age of comics for an epic saga brought to us by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby and break it down issue-by-issue.  No plot point or soap opera subplot is too small to escape our analytical clutches!It's always fun going back to the comics that started it all and this is an FF classic like no other and was partially the basis for the new movie!  Enjoy...and let us know what you're thinking by posting a comment in our Facebook group!  You'll be glad you did!Hosted by Brad Page and Chris Karam.

We give our very short review of Fantastic Four first steps and try to figure out where marvel is going.

Filmmaker Ken Viola joins us to discuss his rare 1987 documentary The Masters of Comic Book Art—a raw, unfiltered snapshot of comics history featuring candid interviews with legends like Jack Kirby, Harvey Kurtzman, Neal Adams, Will Eisner, Art Spiegelman, Dave Sim, Frank Miller, and Bernie Wrightson.

You can now watch the documentary online—don't miss this essential piece of comics history.

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.

Mike is joined by Father Malone (Midnight Viewing) and Chris Stachiw (The Kulturecast) to dig into Marvel's latest reboot attempt, Fantastic Four: First Stps (2025), the long-awaited introduction of Marvel's First Family into the MCU. Directed by Matt Shakman and starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, and Joseph Quinn, the film blends retro aesthetics with multiversal madness as Reed, Sue, Ben, and Johnny leap from the 1960s into present-day chaos.Does Shakman finally crack the code that's eluded three previous FF films? Or does Marvel's Phase 6 entry stretch itself too thin? The trio tackles the film's performances, its ties to Kang and the Secret Wars setup, and whether this version lives up to the legacy of Jack Kirby and Stan Lee's original cosmic explorers.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.

Inspired by last episode's discussion around Peepers, we dig deep into 1977's Captain America Annual #4, written and drawn by Jack Kirby. In the course of this discussion, we'll tell you all about Magneto's supporting team of weirdos who one day go on to become Mutant Force! And did we mention Mister One? He's the bizarre little fella pictured on the episode thumbnail. We talk about him, too. You'll love it. Josef insisted we call the episode "Mutant Force" instead of "1977's Captain America Annual #4, written and drawn by Jack Kirby". You be the judge of whether that was the right call...

To pay for his daughter Vienna's ballet school in Paris, he returns to pro golf—and chaos ensues. The film leans hard into callbacks, celebrity cameos, and legacy sequel nostalgia.  Director: Kyle Newacheck Writers: Tim Herlihy & Adam Sandler  Cast: Adam Sandler as Happy Gilmore Julie Bowen as Virginia Venit Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin Ben Stiller as Hal L. (in sobriety group leadership) Bad Bunny as Happy's new caddy Benny Safdie as golf mogul Frank Manatee Additional Cast: Sunny Sandler (Vienna), Sadie Sandler, Travis Kelce, Margaret Qualley, John Daly, Rory McIlroy, Eminem (cameos), and more sport & music legends   Production Notes: Produced by Happy Madison and STX Films, filmed in North Jersey over fall 2024; directed by Newacheck with music by Rupert Gregson-Williams. The production is built around cameo-heavy nostalgia and real-world athletes.  Budget: Estimated at $30 million, modest compared to legacy sequel standards.  Distribution: Released globally via Netflix on July 25, 2025.  Reception: Critics remain divided—mixed reviews on Rotten Tomatoes (65%) and Popcornmeter (~70%). Praise comes for Sandler's commitment and cameo spectacle; criticism centers on overreliance on callbacks, tonally uneven storytelling (including a shocking death), and lazy legacy sequel tropes. Some outlets called it a “cinematic disaster,” while others saw it as funny and heartfelt escapism.  Rating out of 10 Cameo Filled Nostalgic Rounds of Maxi Golf Darryl: 2/10 Brian: 7.5/10 Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025) Summary Set in a retro‑futuristic 1960s alternate universe (Earth‑828), Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm are already established heroes expecting their first child. When cosmic threats like Galactus and Silver Surfer emerge, the team must band together to save the world—and their family dynamic. Director: Matt Shakman Writers: Josh Friedman, Eric Pearson, Jeff Kaplan, Ian Springer; story contributions by Kat Wood  Cast: Pedro Pascal (Mister Fantastic) Vanessa Kirby (Invisible Woman) Joseph Quinn (Human Torch) Ebon Moss‑Bachrach (The Thing) Julia Garner (Silver Surfer) Ralph Ineson (Galactus) Paul Walter Hauser (Mole Man/Harvey Elder) John Malkovich as Red Ghost (cameo)  Production Notes: Filmed at Pinewood Studios in the UK with shoots in Derbyshire Dales and Oviedo; styled with practical miniatures, retro‑futuristic set design reminiscent of Jack Kirby comics; score by Michael Giacchino recorded at Abbey Road Studios; executive production overseen by Kevin Feige; post‑credits nod to late producer Jamie Christopher and director's mother Inez Shakman in homage scenes  Budget: Estimated over $200 million  Box Office (Opening Weekend): Domestic 3‑day: $117.6–118M across 4,125 theaters (including ~$57M previews) International: $100M from 52 territories Global debut: ~$218M   Reception & Context: Critical consensus: ~88% on Rotten Tomatoes; CinemaScore “A‑” reflects strong audience response. Reviews praise cast chemistry, emotional grounding, and visual style—though tone is more serious than comic-minded critics expected. Some reviewers note a pacing lull and lack of overt humor from a director known for lighter work. Industry analysts call this the first confirmed MCU blockbuster of 2025—ushering in Phase 6 with confidence and momentum after previous underperformers.

Real Life Ben spent the week playing nurse, but at least it was a summer cold—infinitely easier than juggling tissues and PTO requests during the school year. The only upside to a sick kid when the sun's out? More cartoons, fewer emails. Hearing Ben wiping noses and handing out popsicles, Steven got nostalgic about Scrubs. Remember Scrubs? Wholesome chaos. Heartfelt weirdness. Probably due for a chaotic Gen Z reboot starring TikTok doctors and JD's ghost AI. Devon was out of town. No details, just gone. Like a Vulcan on shore leave or a cowboy riding off into a logical sunset. We assume he's fine. Or at least reading a very dense novel. Steven went full social butterfly with a jam-packed weekend featuring a wedding and a birthday party. Somehow in between the formal wear and paper plates, he managed to catch Fantastic Four: First Steps. And? He says it's the best Fantastic Four movie he's ever seen. Not necessarily the best Marvel movie, but undeniably its own thing: scientists-turned-superheroes faced with a moral conundrum, wrapped in bright tones and a vibe that says hope isn't dead, it's just been on vacation. Earth 828 (a sweet nod to Jack Kirby's birthday) plays host to a story that takes a deliberate break from the usual “everything is pain” comic fare. Also, there's now a universe where Matt Shakman didn't make Fantastic Four, but instead gifted us a cheerful, boldly optimistic fourth Kelvin Star Trek movie. It lives only in our dreams and this deeply bittersweet TrekMovie article. Sigh. Future or Now Ben, our resident Trekspert, has bucketload of Star Trek news from San Diego Comic-Con: Starfleet Academy got a first trailer, and introduced us to the U.S.S. Athena. George Takei and Tim Russ are teaming up in the Khan audio series, where we'll get to hear Sulu and Tuvok in action. (We assume Tim Russ will sigh at Takei at least once.) Strange New Worlds Season 4 teased a bold new puppet frontier? Yep. Puppets. And then there's the Gwarm. What is a Gwarm, you ask? It's a Star Wars thing, and before you know it, Ben and Steven are back in the Star Wars vs. Star Trek sandbox, flinging references like action figures. (We don't stop them. It's too entertaining.) Meanwhile, Steven was also reading science headlines between existential sighs. The latest? Allegro-FM just pushed material science forward by enabling simulations 1,000 times larger than previous ones. That's like going from Tinker Toys to a Dyson Sphere. Or from The Pedestrian to a full Black Mirror season. Link Book Club This week, we read The Pedestrian by Ray Bradbury. It's eerie how much this story hits in 2025. A man simply walking at night in Los Angeles gets stopped by an automated police car because being outside is just too suspicious. It's based on Bradbury's real address, and it feels uncomfortably like reality. Mausoleum houses, ghostly TV glow, no sidewalks—just suburban stillness and surveillance. If All Summer in a Day is melancholy, this one's… mournful. Next week we're sticking with Bradbury and reading All Summer in a Day. Rain, Venus, longing, and memory. If The Pedestrian feels like now, All Summer feels like childhood—brief, beautiful, and barely remembered. You can read it here or watch this version that captures the heartbreak with just the right number of slow pans and sad violins. That's it for this week. Whether you're dodging summer colds, traveling through alternate Marvels, or wondering if that sidewalk outside is still walkable, we'll be here—talking Trek, reading Bradbury, and keeping the lights on. Let us know what you thought of Fantastic Four: First Steps. And if you've ever been detained by a futuristic car for taking a stroll, uh… blink twice?

It's been 10 years since the debacle that was fan4stic and we thought Micheal B. Jordan would never be in a comic book movie again. Fantastic Four: First Steps is a celebration of Marvel's first family in a way that honors the legend of Jack Kirby and illustrates the determination of Kevin Feige. Matt Shakman (friend of the pod) directs this visually stunning homage to the space race 60's, world of tomorrow-esque look into this alternate universe's idealism, that's anchored by Sue Storm and the rest of the Fantastic Four. With everything this movie does right, there is one thing we get into that was surprisingly left out.

We are joined for the first (but not the last) time by Jack Kirby from Essex Podiatry Clinics to talk all things feet, ankles & lower limbs. We discuss the complex natural engineering of the foot, what a healthy foot looks like, how to strengthen your feet, how to care for your feet, how to prevent common foot injuries & problems & why an expensive pair of running shoes or arch supports may NOT be the answer. This was a fun, lively & interesting conversation about something most of us give very little thought to - our points of contact to the ground beneath us.

Before Fantastic Four: First Steps arrives, the hosts of the Major Issues Podcast dive into two of the most essential stories in Fantastic Four history! First, they revisit the legendary Coming of Galactus trilogy by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby — a cosmic epic that introduced the world-devouring Galactus and the tragic Silver Surfer, changing Marvel Comics forever. Then, they break down Fantastic Four Annual #6, which marks the first appearance of Franklin Richards, the omega-level child of Reed and Sue, and pits the FF against the deadly threat of Annihilus in the Negative Zone! Cosmic stakes, groundbreaking storytelling, and the birth of legacy — it's a double dose of classic Fantastic Four to prepare you for what's next in Marvel's First Family!

This is our spoiler-free review of Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps — a bold, heartfelt introduction to Marvel's First Family. We dive into the film's loving tribute to Jack Kirby's golden age storytelling, its stunning retro-futuristic aesthetic, and the pitch-perfect performances that bring this iconic team to life. At its core, this is a story about family — and the film never loses sight of that.The Fantastic Four: First Steps hits theatres July 25, 2025.

n Part 2, Alex opens up about the growing role of AI in art and how it raises serious concerns for creators like himself. We also take a nostalgic turn as he shares his childhood memories of 1960s Japanese animation — Speed Racer — and his thoughts on the rise of modern American adult animation.Alex reflects on the long-overdue recognition of classic comic book creators in today's Marvel and DC films, and what it meant to meet legends like Jack Kirby and Neal Adams. We revisit the origin stories behind Marvels and Kingdom Come, and reveal a near-miss — when Alex almost helped design a new Gatchaman team for an American rights holder. And for fans of Fantastic Four, Alex shares the story behind his Earth X visions of Marvel's First Family, and how it continues to influence his creative work.

It's a boy! In Fantastic Four Annual #6 Franklin Richards, the son of Reed and Sue, is born. We're reading this comic this week because Franklin's gonna be showing up in this month's Fantastic Four: First Steps, but I hope his role is bigger than what we get in this annual. One thing this annual does give us is the first appearance of Annihilus, great Jack Kirby art and a plethora of old comic book ads.Before that: listeners keep trying to get Derek to talk about the Snyderverse, I see Superman for a second time, and what can the new Supergirl poster tell us about next year's DCU entry? All this and more, but if you don't care just skip to 43:03.Want to hear us talk about Fantastic Four: First Steps when it comes out?

We're reading Fantastic Four #49-50. See you then!

The production design of the film Fantastic Four: First Steps is an homage to the early ‘60s comics created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. While Kirby is best known for his bold, fist-popping drawing style, he was also a great storyteller who redefined what comic books could be. He was appreciated by hardcore fans at the time, but he never got the same media attention as Stan Lee and wasn't compensated for the fortunes his characters made. I talk with Kirby experts Charles Hatfield, Mark Evanier, Randolph Hoppe, and Arlen Schumer about where we can see Jack Kirby's influence on comics like The Fantastic Four, Thor, The Hulk, Captain America and Black Panther. And I explore Kirby's childhood at the Tenement Museum on the Lower East Side, where every day was “clobberin' time,”and he first learned how to use a garbage can lid as a shield.
