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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
