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...

Because Apparently We've All Had Enough Capes and Spandex This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl are talking Fantastic Four: First Steps, Happy Gilmore 2, Movies we want to catch at the theater for the rest of 2025, and the latest Superhero Showdown at the Box Office. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Box Office Showdown: 10:49 Movie in the Back Half of 2025: 20:45 Happy Gilmore 2: 33:27 Fantastic Four: 45:22 Superman vs. Marvel’s First Family at the Box Office Superman grabbed a bigger domestic haul, but First Steps showed stronger international momentum and may signal better legs in overseas markets.

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.

Fantastic Four First Steps premiered in theaters Friday, July 25 to positive reviews and kickstarts the new phase of Marvel stories in Avengers: Doomsday.#fantasticfour #fantasticfourfirststeps #marvel #reaction #review #disney #MCU
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.
Episodio un poco extraño de nuestro serial dedicado a los Cuatro Fantásticos, pero es lo que nos pedía el cuerpo antes de afrontar la recta final de la etapa de Jack Kirby y Stan Lee. Empezamos con una distendida charla sobre etapas recientes de la colección, desde la de Matt Fraction a la actual de Ryan North, dando unos giros en ciertos momentos para irnos por los cerros de Úbeda porque sino no seríamos nosotros mismos. Luego, clásico "on the road" para ver la primera película de los 4F que hace honor a los cómics.
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!

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?

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.

Look, comic book superheroes have been around for a long time. Some of them get their own billion-dollar film franchises, toylines, video games, Halloween costumes, and breakfast cereals. But then there are the other guys. The ones the MCU won't touch. The ones that make Jack Kirby himself tilt his head in confusion. The weirdos that pop culture is content to forget. But we at Hard Choices don't forget. Join Meganbob, Kris, and Jef and Jon from the System Mastery podcast as they go on a sexual escapade through the dustiest of back issue bins. From the Golden Age to the Modern Age, no spandex-clad hero is safe from our boners! Does Stardust the Super-Wizard have a blowjob ray that's up to the task? Is anyone on the Legion of Super-Heroes actually fuckable? What DOES Sleepwalker's cum taste like? And what extremely specific fantasy does Jef have that only Justice from the New Universe can fulfill? Listen in, True Believers, and find out!

While the last three issues of Captain America and the Falcon we looked at were rather underwhelming, issues 209 to 211 give us all the kooky science fiction and Kirby Crackle we could want! The appearance of Arnim Zola, in his first face-off with Cap, has revitalized the story. But Falcon seems shunted off to … Continue reading #845 Jack Kirby's “Cap and Falcon” 209-211: An Uncle Sam Person
We're back! Welll, I mean, we weren't like, gone, really, just not releasing shows. We released a show! And it's a part one of two, so that means we will have released two shows! Nothing will stop us now! One Halloween, long ago, one of our Crossover episodes got religion. Or rather, the discussion about the comic that we were covering with guests Tim Price and Sean, Podcast Host and Man of Knowledge, turned to that topic without having been planned that way, and we wound up having an informative and extremely interesting discussion. You can listen to that here: https://marriedwcomics.libsyn.com/mephisto-vs-the-podcasters-three-god-dracula-and-everything-else It was well-received by our listeners and we were complimented on how civil and non-jujdemental we came across. Since this surprised us as much as anyone, we thought we'd have them on again for a (slightly) more structured discussion. In part one, we cover the Fantastic Four: Hereafter arc, and talk about death and resurrection in comics, how aspects of the story come across when filtered through the lenses of different faiths (Including how one story element is technically blasphemous for different reasons for different religions, but only if you're really really trying to see it that way. In Part 2, we will have a no-questions forbidden roundtable on religion, in which we compare and contrast dogma, talk about how each of our religions thinks about the other ones, and all sorts of other things that you'd think would have led to huge arguments, but didn't! We decided to split this episode, both due to the time, and content: part one is more comics focused and part two is more religion focused. This will allow people that are not interested in one or the other topic the opportunity to focus on the one they want. After both are published, we may publish one that includes both, for all you completists out there. Here's one of Sean's shows: https://fireandwaterpodcast.com/show/wonderwoman/ Here are Tim's: Www.thehuntresspodcast.com

The discussion examines why having "a million monsters" often creates noise rather than signal, and explores how constraint and focus can lead to more impactful creative projects.The episode draws from the tension between Stan Lee and Jack Kirby in Marvel Comics history to illustrate the difference between creative execution and editorial vision. It explores how the elevator pitch mentality from Hollywood applies to personal artistic projects, using Star Wars as an example of how one clear core idea can anchor an entire universe. The argument centers on the principle that artistic projects need a single, easily communicable hook that people can understand and share, rather than an overwhelming collection of interesting elements.—Chapters00:00 Intro01:06 Welcome02:23 The Million Monster Problem06:11 Why Clear Signal Beats Creative Chaos16:29 The Stan Lee vs Jack Kirby Lesson28:52 Pick One Idea and Go Deeper35:40 The Analytical Takeaway37:41 The Simple Takeaway37:48 The Practical Takeaway40:39 The Philosophical Takeaway44:11 Outro—The Visual Scholar Podcast is designed to help you demystify the world of Art, Productivity, and Creativity.
