This week on the show, we discuss our recent visit to Southern California for San Diego Comic Con (7:18) and review the 37th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Fantastic Four: First Steps (43:39)!"Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, First Steps follows Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm as they face their most daunting challenge yet: forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond. While the world loves them, they must now defend Earth from a ravenous space god Galactus and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer.

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

The conversation delves into character development for Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and The Thing, as well as the portrayal of villains Galactus and Silver Surfer.

It's the end of an era and the dawning of a new one. Fantastic Four: First Steps was phenomenal in ways that the Nerd Alert Girls cheer about. Johnny Storm gets to show off his emotional intelligence; Sue Storm gives major Mama Bear energy; Reed Richards is a precious, neurodivergent bean; and Ben Grimm is the best boi who deserves the world. From the superb casting to the emotionally evocative family themes, this movie was a slam dunk and, hopefully, a foreshadowing of things to come for Marvel.

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. Superman Box Office https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl1543340801/?ref_=bo_hm_rd Fantastic Four: First Steps Box Office https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl2429649665/?ref_=bo_hm_rd Remaining 2025 Must-Sees at the Theater Darryl: Tron: Ares Avatar: Fire and Ash Nobody 2 The Running Man MK 2 Predator: Badlands Weapons Caught Stealing The Long Walk Brian: Caught Stealing The Naked Gun Tron:Ares Mortal Kombat 2 Predator: Badlands Weapons Twinless The Running Man The Toxic Avenger TMNT 35th Anniversary Release Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) Summary Nearly three decades after winning the Tour Championship, Happy (Adam Sandler) is now a grieving widower and alcoholic. 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.

In this episode of Catch These Vibes, Sharmanique dives deep into the legacy of Marvel's very first superhero team — the Fantastic Four. From their 1961 comic book debut to their complicated journey through live-action adaptations, this episode explores how Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm redefined what it meant to be a superhero family. We unpack their origin story, iconic villains like Doctor Doom and Galactus, and the cultural impact they've had on Marvel storytelling. With a reboot released this past weekend, it's the perfect time to revisit why the Fantastic Four still matters.
This week, Zaman and Paul kick things off with a refreshing beverage
The Fantastic Four finally arrive in the MCU... sort of? Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/the Thing must unite to save an alternate Earth from Ralph Ineson's Galactus and Julia Garner's Silver Surfer, but are their power's combined enough to set Marvel's Multiverse Saga back on track?

When Marvel announced yet another Fantastic Four reboot, skepticism ran high. After all, the team has had a rocky cinematic history. But this fresh take on Marvel's First Family is a welcome surprise that breathes new life into these classic characters by skipping the tired origin story completely.Set in an alternate 1960s universe, we meet the team four years after gaining their powers. They're established heroes, scientists, and celebrities – complete with merchandise, branding, and public adoration. This lived-in world immediately feels more authentic than previous adaptations. The retro aesthetic perfectly captures the spirit of the original comics while giving the film a distinctive visual identity separate from the main MCU.What truly elevates this adaptation is the stellar cast and their genuine family chemistry. Pedro Pascal brings unexpected depth to Reed Richards, portraying him as a brilliant scientist whose analytical mind sometimes puts him at odds with his humanity. Vanessa Kirby's Sue Storm emerges as the team's true leader – diplomatic, powerful, and the glue holding everyone together. Joseph Quinn reinvents Johnny Storm as more scientifically minded while maintaining his playful spirit, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach's Thing serves as the emotional anchor beyond just his super strength.The introduction of Franklin Richards creates genuine emotional stakes when Galactus threatens Earth. Ralph Ineson's terrifying vocal performance and the visualization of the planet-eater's enormous scale create a cosmic threat unlike anything in previous Marvel films. Meanwhile, Julia Garner's Silver Surfer brings fascinating complexity through her interactions with Johnny Storm.While the film emphasizes science and problem-solving over traditional superhero action (which might disappoint some viewers), it succeeds by presenting the Fantastic Four as scientists first and superheroes second. This approach, combined with Paul Walter Hauser's scene-stealing Mole Man and a tantalizing Doctor Doom tease, has reignited excitement for these characters' future in Marvel's cinematic landscape.Have you seen the Fantastic Four yet?

Read transcriptFlame on, podcast listeners! This week we're stretching our way back to 2005 to tackle the Fantastic Four game that somehow managed to land on more consoles than Reed Richards has had scientific breakthroughs. Based on the first Fox movie that made us all question whether Hollywood truly understood what “fantastic” meant, this multi-platform adventure promised to let us clobber our way through levels faster than Ben Grimm goes through doorframes. Joining us for this cosmic-powered gaming expedition is Anthony Sytko from Capes on the Couch, who's here to help us determine whether this game was the ultimate power or just another case of “it's clobberin' time” gone wrong. We'll be exploring how this tie-in game managed to squeeze onto everything from GameCube to Game Boy Advance, and whether any version actually captured the magic of Marvel's first family – or if they all just left us feeling more invisible than Sue Storm on a bad day. So grab your unstable molecules costume and prepare for a gaming experience that's sure to be more unpredictable than Johnny Storm's dating life. It's time to see if this Fantastic Four adaptation was truly marvelous or just another victim of the superhero movie game curse! Learn such things as: Does yelling “FLAME ON!” improve your loading times? Is this the worst timeline for Dr. Doom? How long can we go without saying something about America's Ass? And so much more!

Picture this: You're expecting a high-octane superhero adventure with the Fantastic Four. Instead, you get a robot. Not just any robot, but Herbie – a mechanical sidekick so bizarre, so utterly out of place, that he would become a legendary cautionary tale of superhero adaptation gone wrong. Standing barely waist-high, with all the combat effectiveness of a malfunctioning kitchen appliance, Herbie represents the absolute nadir of superhero television creativity.Welcome to Monsters, Sharks, and Dinosaurs. Today we're exploring the most infamous robot in superhero history – Herbie., the Humanoid Experimental Robot, B-Type, Integrated Electronics, who infamously replaced the Human Torch in the 1978 Fantastic Four animated series.The origin of Herbie is a perfect storm of licensing complications and questionable creative decisions. In the late 19 seventies, Marvel was in the habit of licensing its characters to various media companies with a seemingly random approach.The Human Torch found himself caught in a legal limbo, with Universal exploring the possibility of a live-action series. This potential show never materialized, but it was enough to keep Johnny Storm completely absent from the 1978 Fantastic Four cartoon.Unlock an ad-free podcast experience with Caloroga Shark Media!

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is kicking off Phase Six with some familiar faces: Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Ben Grimm, and Johnny Storm (a.k.a. Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, The Thing, and the Human Torch). There have been a few Fantastic Four films that came before this one, but were they able to get the formula right this time? Joel and Kent are prepared to share their spoiler-free thoughts on The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Zack hasn't seen the movie yet, but he's going to brave this entire BaconBit, even after we enter spoiler space. Will we flame on this latest superhero reboot? Or is it clobberin' time for the MCU again? Press play to find out.
On this episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank and Thomas dive deep into Fantastic Four: First Steps, Marvel's latest take on its original superhero team. They unpack what makes this version click—from the emotional dynamics between the characters to the classic comic book roots baked into the plot. They also debate Pedro Pascal's Reed Richards, celebrate Vanessa Kirby's commanding performance as Sue, and break down what that end credits Doom reveal means for the future of the MCU. This one's packed with takes, comic knowledge, and that signature CA banter. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 Intro and first reactions 00:34 Emotional tone and visual impact 01:17 The family dynamic and what Marvel nailed 02:06 Comparing Fantastic Four and Superman's reboots 03:13 Marvel's tonal shift and 60s sci-fi inspirations 04:07 Spoiler alert and space travel discussions 05:24 Comic nods: Galactus, Mole Man, Red Ghost 07:00 The return of recurring villains in the MCU 10:06 Deep character breakdown: Sue, Reed, Johnny, Ben 13:40 Ben and Reed's friendship complexity 18:09 Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards—does it work? 24:02 Franklin Richards and the film's emotional core 27:10 Comic comparisons and MCU differences 30:32 CGI highs and lows 35:00 Galactus' design and introduction 37:00 Final battle and team synergy 41:04 Stretching powers and future potential 46:49 Mid and post-credit scene breakdowns 51:00 Multiverse theories and TVA links 55:02 Final thoughts and sequel hopes Key Takeaways: Vanessa Kirby shines as Sue Storm, grounding the film with emotion and authority. This Fantastic Four reboot captures the sci-fi spirit of the comics while carving out a fresh MCU tone. Johnny Storm is finally more than comic relief—he's passionate, intelligent, and layered. Pedro Pascal delivers a solid performance, but debate remains whether he feels like Reed. Galactus and Silver Surfer bring scope and threat, with visual set pieces built for IMAX. The mid-credits Doom reveal got the loudest cheer in the theater—for good reason. Memorable Quotes: “This is the first time in a long time I walked out of a Marvel movie wanting a sequel—not the next MCU thing. Just more of this.” “Sue Storm runs this team. Period.” “I don't think Pedro was Reed. I think Pedro played someone like Reed.” “They didn't just adapt a comic—they brought 60s sci-fi to life.” “Galactus wasn't just big. He was felt—especially in IMAX.” Call to Action: If you enjoyed this episode, hit follow, leave a review, and share it with your Marvel-loving crew.

With Fantastic Four: First Steps opening tomorrow we decided to go back and look at the stories that inspired the latest MCU film - Fantastic Four #48, 49 and 50. These stories see the debuts of the Silver Surfer and Galactus, as well as... Johnny Storm going to college? Let me tell you, the structure of these comics is pretty odd. But they're one of the pinnacles of the legendary Jack Kirby/Stan Lee run. Before that we have a ton of news, and as of this recording there isn't even anything big coming out of San Diego Comic-Con! Kevin Feige spills the beans about an MCU reset, a Booster Gold pilot is being written, there's a new Wonder Woman movie and more. If you don't care about this skip to 47:22. This weekend we will have Fantastic Four: First Steps on Watch Men, so make sure you're subscribed to our Patreon at the $5 level to get it! You'll also gain access to our Superman episode and an incredible back catalog of episodes. Thanks for listening. See you next week!
Marvel's First Family has arrived! Hard to believe that the MCU has been able to be as successful as it has been over the last 17 years without one of its most important super groups, The Fantastic Four. Join us for our Spoiler-Free The Fantastic Four: First Steps Review and learn more about this latest iteration of Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Ben Grimm, and Johnny Storm. After 3 critically-panned film adaptations (yes, three. Google it.), is it possible that fourth time's the charm for our heroic quartet. With an all-star cast, Wandavision director Matt Shakman behind the camera, and a gorgeous retro-futurist motif, this would appear to be the best attempt yet. But does it soar to intergalactic heights? Hang out with us as we discuss that and so much more in our Spoiler-Free Fantastic Four Review!

Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Aparrel - including NEW Superman & Fantastic 4-inspired Tees! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ With Marvel's First Family making their MCU debut later this month, Andre & John UNITE to give their FANTASTIC FOUR Reaction, Analysis, Breakdown, Easter Eggs, & Full Movie Spoiler Review. Andrew Gordon & John Humphrey unite for a Reaction & Review of Fantastic Four (2005), the action-packed superhero blockbuster that brought Marvel's First Family to the big screen! Directed by Tim Story (Barbershop, Ride Along), this early 2000s adaptation follows four astronauts who gain extraordinary powers after a cosmic radiation accident—setting the stage for one of the most iconic Marvel origin stories. Ioan Gruffudd (King Arthur, Titanic) stars as Reed Richards aka Mr. Fantastic, the brilliant but emotionally awkward scientist with the power of elasticity. Jessica Alba (Sin City, Into the Blue) plays Sue Storm aka the Invisible Woman, whose force fields and invisibility are matched by her inner strength and intelligence. Michael Chiklis (The Shield, American Horror Story) brings pathos and grit to Ben Grimm aka The Thing, a rock-skinned powerhouse grappling with his new form. Chris Evans (Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Knives Out) blazes onto the scene as Johnny Storm aka The Human Torch, whose cocky charm and flame powers light up the screen. The late Julian McMahon (Nip/Tuck, Charmed) menaces as Victor Von Doom aka Doctor Doom, a power-hungry industrialist turned metal-skinned tyrant. Kerry Washington (Scandal, Django Unchained) also stars as Alicia Masters, the kind-hearted sculptor who sees beyond Ben Grimm's monstrous exterior. From the unforgettable Brooklyn Bridge rescue scene to the climactic final battle with Doom, Fantastic Four features early 2000s Marvel flair, flashy powers, and crowd-pleasing teamwork. We'll explore what worked, what's aged... and what's still fantastic.
