Expect debates, laughs, and passionate arguments as we count down from #15 all the way to #1. We cover the biggest Marvel Phase 5 projects including Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, Daredevil: Born Again, Captain America: Brave New World, Thunderbolts, What If…? Season 2 & 3, and more.

The Quanes think American electoral anxiety and an overall Hollywood Liberal fear of the future in the Trump era play a role in the blockbuster semiotic rules of Blue meaning “the good guys”, Red being “the bad guys” and Purple meaning “the bad guys who could potentially be good guys or at least have good ideas”.We explore this idea by applying it to recent superhero movies in general and finally how it can apply to the new Fantastic Four, which has been a financial disappointment but like the new Superman, was more entertaining than the three of us expected it to be and despite some quibbles we may have about it, points the way to how to fix these endless comic book movie franchises.Follow Liam Quane on Bluesky, Facebook and VERO.Follow Adam Quane on Facebook.Liam's novel Road to Juneau (Beaten Track Publishing) is available in Kindle and paperback!Original teaser for The Fantastic Four: First Steps (Matt Shakman, 2025) that briefly features John Malkovich (who was cut out of the finished film)

[School of Movies 2025] This film began life before James Gunn was abruptly fired overnight, by Marvel. It languished for years through the triumph of Endgame, then the Pandemic, and Gunn's hiring by DC to direct their Suicide Squad sequel. The man who came back to pick up the script had been changed, and while Superman (2025) shows the sheer optimistic joy he's capable of imbuing his projects with, this farewell to the Guardians is a dark, furious requiem of betrayal, loss, bitter conflict and ultimately redemption. In choosing to make it all about Rocket Raccoon, the secret weapon of the MCU was taken out of the picture. He is attacked by newcomer Adam Warlock on Knowhere home turf, in a failed act of corporate reclamation. His killswitch is triggered, leaving him in a coma and it is up to the Guardians to investigate the Doctor Moreau-inspired High Evolutionary, and find out how to bring Rocket back. This leaves him absent for much of the present-day movie, stuck reliving his tragic past, and the earliest friends he made. These tragic events would twist his future actions into those of anger and neurotic rejection of even his closest companions. It is unlike any other MCU film, deeply personal and imbued with such vociferous anger that it actually becomes a mess, half hanging onto what was originally intended, half channelling the mixed, spiking emotions of going back to deal with your monster, saying goodbye to your dear friends and moving on to other and better things. The world is better for the confluence of events that led us to getting our new Superman and a brighter future of the DC Universe, but it was Gunn who took the damage, and this film exemplifies that. Next Week: The Marvels
Hello dear listeners!

First it's a trip to Metropolis to check in on Lois, Clark, Jimmy, Lex, and the rest of the crew in Metropolis as they talk about DC and James Gunn's Superman. Did the Caped Crusaders most recent run on the big screen inspire? You'll have to listen to find out! Then they hop in a (why it gotta be) black hole and find themselves on Earth 828 and the retro futuristic home to Fantastic Four: First Steps. Did the long awaited MCU welcome of Marvel's first family live up to the hype? Only one way to find out!So sit back and get ready to FLAME ON!Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/flameon.

There's no way around this descriptor: this episode is Fantastic. But be-Four The Guys get to The Thing they came to talk about, there are notable Geeks of the Week to mention. Jay heard about a Hamilton cast member who's been there from day one, and hopes the same will happen to him in this podcast. Robbie geeks out over a potential Star Wars-Dr. Who crossover (well, sort of - with a cast member, at least.) And Art - in his own special segment, soon to be known as the Optimist with the Obituaries (they're still workshopping the title)- shares sad news about one of WKRP's finest. In Jay's Regrettable Segment, ROM the Spaceknight gets special coverage: Robbie has been waiting for this one to get to Earth-1012. Then they get to the final Stretch, a discussion of the MCU's latest gift to the theater: Fantastic Four, First Steps. This may be the best FF ever, less Torched by the critics than any of the variants thus far, and The Guys agree. Good casting overall, balanced story with perhaps some nuances not seen very often in superhero flicks (spoiler: there's a baby), terrific sets, fascinating time setting, useful mid-credit scene, and fun music. The MCU may not be Invisible much longer.

Natasha Romanoff. Daughter. Sister. Avenger.Natasha made her Marvel Cinematic Universe debut in Iron Man 2 as a mysterious S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, quickly becoming a core member of the Avengers despite lacking superpowers. The character evolved from a supporting femme fatale into one of the MCU's most complex heroes; a former Russian child assassin grappling with her dark past while seeking redemption through heroic acts, and finally finding a family. Her journey culminated in the ultimate sacrifice in Avengers: Endgame, giving her life to obtain the Soul Stone and save the universe.Marvel had been talking about a solo Black Widow film for years since her 2010 debut, but it had never come to pass. It's not the first time a solo film had been talked about for Natasha Romanoff. Lions Gate held the rights to the character in the early 2000s, but that movie idea was scuppered due to the failure of other female-led action movies. Black Widow's solo film finally arrived in 2021, making it an eleven-year wait from her MCU introduction. The delay was attributed to Marvel's former leadership's reluctance to greenlight female-led superhero films, concerns about their commercial viability, as well as the planned Infinity Saga narrative needing to focus on introducing other characters, like Black Panther and Captain Marvel. Black Widow would give fans a much-needed backstory for Natasha, as well as introduce her sister, Yelena. The importance of both characters extends beyond individual heroism to representation. Natasha proved female characters could carry major action sequences and emotional weight in the MCU, while Yelena's introduction ensures the Black Widow legacy continues, representing a new generation of complex female heroes who can anchor future MCU stories.I would love to hear your thoughts on Black Widow (2021) !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!
