WARNING: Explicit language, ribald jokes, and biting commentary ensue.Episode 134: The Fantastic Four: First StepsFFinally!!! As the BO for the new Marvel film craters...our new episode is up (after tech snafus!) *Links in bio - please check out our video episodes on Spotify and YouTubeThe Boyz bring back Sam U. Rai from the Gentleman's Guide to Midnite Cinema to discuss yet another SUPERHERO film: the eagerly awaited The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The MCU is still floundering of late, far from its billion dollar a movie hey day. The ingredients are all there: Visionary director (Matt Shakman who created WandaVision), incredible cast (Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Barach, and Joseph Quinn), a retro-futuristic look, key Marvel characters (Galactus, Silver Surfer, Mole Man). Will this restore the MCU to greatness and finally herald a true vision of Marvel's first family or is it more Kevin Feige-trickery and just a placeholder for the next (Doomsday) movie? Strap in for an image-less, plus-less, two hourlong, no-holds-barred discussion that critiques the film and the state of the MCU.

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? Share your thoughts and join the conversation about Marvel's First Family's triumphant return to the big screen!

The story so far: Trapped underground in a magical molehole video store for over a year, our boys are missing what they used to have...This week, we reminisce about our old Magic Box that got swept away in a tornado, so we use a magical mole scroll to try summon it back. But it doesn't go to plan. We learn a bit more about MoleMan's history, but end up having to watch the SOV fantasy/sword-and-sorcery LARPing movie Way Bad Stone! Will we be wrapped up into the Ren Faire goodness of this charming film, or will we get distracted talking about every-occasion costumes and the butt-goosing soldier behind enemy lines? And why do we have to fill Eric in about the last 35 minutes of the movie?!

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.

The story so far: After being trapped under ground for over a year in a mysterious movie store called "Moleman's Movie Hole," the boys still find ways to entertain themselves...typically with movies.This week, Eric's back! And after mistakingly grabbing the wrong movie off the shelf, we sit back to watch the 1986 horror/thriller classic The Hitcher! Come for the discussion on the greatness of Rutger Hauer, stay for the tangents about Eric's hitchhiking stories, where bodies would realistically get torn apart, and Dan's cool wife and their Niagara vacation!

Last Year on the podcast; Brandon Cooley and I joined The Brothers Discuss (Alex and Chris Galucki) to talk about non-MCU related Marvel Movies last year. This year in the lead up to James Gunn's Superman, we did the entire Filmography of DC movies. For this Part One, we only cover the movies from Superman and the Mole Man to The Dark Knight Rises.

We've had a double header in both divisions since our last show but there's only discussion point on the agenda today; what about those goalscoring Lomboto brothers? They have their own God but our main talking point, naturally enough, is how the League of Ireland will cope without its sometime messiah Damien Duff, who interrupted the regular Sunday service to make a shocking exit to a Simply Red tune. We'll hear bits from his last press conference before pondering the chain of events that few saw coming - not even from the grassy knoll. It's not just a Duff show - contrary to predictions - as there's a bit of Bohs brilliance, and Alan Reynolds talking about a return from the dead over Easter that appears to be attracting a growing number of devotees. Johnny took his microphone to Inchicore to catch the thoughts of an under-pressure Stephen Kenny and also hear a few words from Derry's Tiernan Lynch and Liam Boyce. We also have pizza tales from Ballybofey, Hurley as Moleman, missed messages, the context to crazy scenes in Cork and Moses stepping out of line. Your weekly sermon of football opinions interspersed with Simpsons, Father Ted and Only Fools and Horses references comes to you in association with Rascals Brewing, Sport Cosanta, Future Ticketing & Collar & Cuff, all of whom will be back next week, but Damien won't, or will he?

The story so far: So much happens in the Movie Hole (like dying, killer robots, killer clowns, magic mole scrolls, etc) that sometimes it's nice to take a break from all the insanity.Who knew other people could check-out movies from the Movie Hole?! Well when Moleman closes a door, he opens a window, so we make do with what we have and check out the 1976 animal exploitation Thai action film Killer Elephants! This American cut of the film involves non-stop action and elephant excitement, but that won't stop us from diverging into discussions about video game logic, teacup elephants, and our dream to elephant walk across America! So saddle up, grab your chicken-on-a-stick, and stuff your trunk, we're doing the elephant! Leave us a 30 second voicemail and if we like it we'll play it on the show: (949) 4-STABBY (949-478-2229)Next movie announced every Wednesday.

This week in Q&A Quest, we further cover this year's PAX East. We also discuss various news as the wait for the Nintendo Switch 2 continues. The post Episode 396: Moleman in the Morning – Q&A Quest appeared first on RPGamer.

Cameron, and Dave discuss the merits of living on a post apocalyptic farm in the film, Arcadian (2024).

Case and Jmike are joined by Doug Lief (from the Nostalgium Arcanum podcast) to talk about a family that's pretty super, The Incredibles!   Overview   In Podcast episode 142 of Men of Steel, hosts Case Aiken and Jmike Folson, alongside guest Doug Lief, delve into a comprehensive analysis of Disney's The Incredibles through the lens of Superman fandom. They explore the film's connections to other superhero media, notably its references to 60s Batman and Fleischer Superman, while debating the film's overall tone, which Case describes as having an 'angry' directorial voice. The discussion emphasizes Mr. Incredible as a Superman analog, revealing how his secret identity as Bob Parr reflects an average man grappling with superhero responsibilities amid family dynamics. The team draws parallels between the family members' powers and their roles, likening the villain Syndrome to a failed fan archetype obsessed with eliminating exceptionalism. Additionally, they analyze the film's aging animation, contextualize its place in the superhero genre before the rise of the MCU, and celebrate its blend of action and relatable family themes. The episode culminates in discussing the film's unresolved questions about the necessity of superheroes in society, concluding that it adeptly balances the extraordinary with the everyday.   Notes ‍️ Introduction and Context (01:12 - 15:47) Case Aiken and Jmike Folson host the Men of Steel podcast with guest Doug Lief The discussion focuses on Disney's The Incredibles (2004) from a Superman fan perspective Doug mentions the movie's connections to Watchmen and other superhero media The hosts establish that the film is a love letter to superheroes with influences from 60s Batman, James Bond, and Fleischer Superman Case acknowledges he likes but doesn't love the movie, finding it has an 'angry' directorial voice ‍️ Mr. Incredible as Superman Analog (15:47 - 24:52) The group analyzes Mr. Incredible (Bob Parr) as a Superman analog Bob Parr's name means 'average' - perfect for a secret identity His job at an insurance company creates dramatic irony (helping after harm vs. preventing it) The hosts discuss Mr. Incredible's durability, strength, and physical capabilities The film explores the tension between superhero responsibility and family obligations The 'Bob Parr' identity has real value to him beyond just being a disguise ‍‍‍ Family Dynamics and Powers (24:52 - 39:20) The Incredibles compared to Fantastic Four but with a nuclear family structure Each family member's powers serve as metaphors for their roles: Elastigirl must 'bend over backwards' for her family Violet wants to be invisible/blend in as a teenager Dash wants to show off and stand out with his speed Holly Hunter praised for her performance as Elastigirl The married couple dynamic shows mature flirtation and partnership Sarah Vowell's performance as Violet highlighted despite not being a professional actress Syndrome as Villain (39:20 - 54:00) Syndrome analyzed as Jimmy Olsen gone evil or fan-turned-Lex Luthor His character represents fandom and mediocrity wanting to eliminate specialness Syndrome observes and counters heroes' weaknesses but fails to examine his own His fatal flaw is wearing a cape, which Edna Mode had warned against The group discusses connections to Alan Moore's works (Watchmen and Captain Britain) Syndrome's robot compared to the squid from Watchmen's ending Brad Bird reportedly denies Watchmen influence despite many parallels Jack-Jack and Supporting Characters (54:00 - 01:03:00) Jack-Jack has godlike powers (17 documented in the sequel) Compared to Franklin Richards from Fantastic Four Jack-Jack helps defeat Syndrome at the end of the film Edna Mode (voiced by Brad Bird) praised as an excellent character Her role as the Q-like gadget designer who incorporates fashion The group discusses superhero costume design elements Frozone and his 'Where's my super suit?' scene mentioned Animation and Film Context (01:03:00 - 01:16:40) The film's animation shows its age (from 2004) but holds up well due to stylization Technical limitations discussed (water effects, foliage, crowds) The hosts note the film predates the MCU (2008) and Nolan's Batman (2005) The Incredibles came at a transition point for superhero cinema The movie successfully balances superhero action with relatable family dynamics Character designs discussed (Mr. Incredible's face based on a Roman helmet) Final Battle and Themes (01:16:40 - 01:26:47) The Omnidroid battle showcases the family working together effectively Team power moves highlight each character's abilities and their coordination The question of 'do we need superheroes?' explored through the final battle Dash's athletic participation at the end (coming in second) compared to Superman hiding his abilities The film doesn't fully resolve questions about exceptional people's place in society The ending shows balance between superhero and ordinary life is beneficial Conclusions and Wrap-Up (01:26:47 - 01:38:04) The Underminer appearance sets up the sequel and references Mole Man from Fantastic Four The hosts appreciate the film's commentary on superhero tropes ('you caught me monologuing') The movie works well as both a superhero film and a family story Discussion about how the film has aged and its historical context in superhero cinema Podcast information and social media contacts shared Recommendation for Books that Burn podcast from the Certain POV network

The story so far: Three friends are trapped in an underground movie rental store managed by a magical anthropomorphic mole man, have adventures, and watch movies to pass the time and figure ways out of predicaments.While Eric is off on a journey of reflection and relaxation, Greg worries that the underground could be filled with more monstrous creatures like Moleman! To help ease our minds and get ready for potential monster attacks, we check out the Frogman monster flick from 1980, Rana: The Legend of Shadow Lake, directed by Blood Harvest's own Bill Rebane! While discussing the similarities of the two films, we dive into life's real existential questions: Do frogs have bones? Can chickens swim? Does Bigfoot have a tickle kink? And are aliens cryptids? Check out the episode to find out the answers to (some of) those questions!Leave us a 30 second voicemail and if we like it we'll play it on the show: (949) 4-STABBY (949-478-2229)Next movie announced every Wednesday.

Galactus, Wanda Maximoff, Mole Man, and Thor are ALL characters not in this show, BUT that doesn't take away the fact that Daredevil is in the MCU and after FOUR episodes, we at Why So Sidious are confident in our future as nerd fandom connoisseurs AT LEAST as far as the on-screen portrayal of Matt Murdock goes WHICH was an important task after such a beautiful Netflix show for the Man Without Fear. Whatever, THE PUNISHER is back. Frank Castle delivers without even pulling a trigger.

The story so far: Three friends are trapped in an underground movie rental store managed by a magical anthropomorphic mole man, have adventures, and watch movies to pass the time and figure ways out of predicaments. Eric is missing, Moleman is to blame, and Dan and Greg kick off year 5 with a little hoedown of their own! While discussing podcast powerhouse Fred Olen Ray's 1997 film Bikini Hoe-Down (aka Mystery on Makeout Mountain, which is an awful alternate title), we get down to business and wonder why the girls are named after months instead of seasons, debate leaving things to the imagination, remember pay-per-view fuzz, and fantasize about washing machines with big butts. Leave us a 30 second voicemail and if we like it we'll play it on the show: (949) 4-STABBY (949-478-2229)Next movie announced every Wednesday.

Do you remember that absolutely divine feeling you had as a child when you were digging in wet sand at the beach? Deeper and deeper... Have you ever wondered where you would have ended up if you'd kept digging without stopping? Great news! Even if you never managed to find out how far down your little tunnel could go, this video will tell you! TIMESTAMPS: What you'll find at a depth of 2.3 ft 0:58 At what depth we come across the tomb of Pharaoh Tutankhamun 1:54 How long are roots of tropical forest plants 2:22 What did the Mole Man do 2:32 Beijing's Underground City 3:01 The Paris Catacombs 3:18 The deepest swimming pool in the world 3:41 The deepest metro station in the world 4:22 The deepest hotel room 4:50 The deepest road tunnel on Earth 5:22 The deepest natural shaft in the world 6:04 The deepest laboratory in the world 8:07 At what depth the deepest known multicellular organism dwells 8:42 The deepest point of the ocean 9:18 The deepest artificial hole on Earth 10:17 #deepesthole #marianatrench Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY: At a depth of 2.3 ft, you'll find numerous mole tunnels and rabbit warrens. By the way, a mole can dig a tunnel longer than 65 ft in just one day! Deep-burrowing species of earthworms can be spotted at a depth of 10 ft. One of them, Drawida grandis, can grow up to 3.5 ft long. You can still find the roots of tropical forest plants if you dig 23 ft down. Tropical trees need such long roots to store water during dry periods. When we arrive at a depth of 60 ft, we can see Beijing's Underground City. That's a subterranean bomb shelter consisting of a vast network of tunnels and underground rooms. It's situated under the capital of China. In Cappadocia, Turkey, there's an underground complex that probably dates back to the 7th century. Its name is Derinkuyu Underground City, and it's situated almost 280 ft below Earth's surface. The Channel Tunnel, connecting the UK with France, is situated at a depth of 377 ft. The deepest railway tunnel is located at a depth of 787 ft. That's the maximum depth of the Seikan Tunnel in Japan that opened in 1988. Even if we could get down to 1,001 ft, we'd still be in the danger zone for a B82 Earth-penetrating nuclear warhead. That's its maximum destructive depth. At a depth of 3,800 ft, there's the deepest bat colony in the world. About 1,000 brown bats spend every winter in a zinc mine in New York. About 5,920 ft down and we arrive at the deepest part of the 227-mile-long Grand Canyon. Its average depth is 5,282 ft. The average depth of the oceanic crust is almost 20,000 ft. This is also the depth of the deepest known microbes. They were found in rocks below China's Songliao Basin. -The winner in the category of the deepest artificial hole on Earth is Z44-Chayvo Oil and Gas Well. This shaft is drilled down to a whopping 40,604 ft! That's 15 Burj Khalifas put on top of each other. The shaft is located in the Russian Far East.

The story so far: After stumbling down a mysterious dried-up well and tunneling through the stone walls to search for an escape, the boys have been trapped in a mysterious, underground, 80s-era-inspired VHS rental shop called Moleman's Movie Hole for months. Recently dying and coming back to life has left them with concerns.After drifting through space and heading for heaven, the boys are back to life in the Movie Hole, and are visited once again by their savior Moleman! Eric, now having died 3 times, is looking to stop that from happening again. Moleman brings him a gift and the foursome sit down to watch Godfrey Ho's martial arts classic(?) Ninja Terminator (1986)! They have a lot of questions about the logic and plot of the movie, but at least they figure out where to buy a vintage 1980s Tyco Garfield telephone!

The story so far: After stumbling down a mysterious dried-up well and tunneling through the stone walls to search for an escape, the boys have been trapped in a mysterious, underground, 80s-era-inspired VHS rental shop called Moleman's Movie Hole for months. Becoming disembodied, the boys float through space, heading toward whatever the afterlife offers. But space is big, and they have time to kill, so they pop in a ghost tape of Jason X (2001) to keep them busy. The conversation, much like the afterlife, is full of questions like:What's a grundle?What's a good name for the next planet humans will move to?Can Jason beat the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers? What will human evolution lead to?And how will humans treat androids when we all have them?Next movie announced every Wednesday.

Now, in their final week celebrating spooky season with Sellout October, Greg gets a mysterious note thrown down the well...Happy Halloween! Join the boys in the final week of Sellout October as they hack and slash their way through the gruesome new horror franchise: Terrifier. This week, they break down the plot of the first film in the franchise and discuss all the other Art the Clown-related films in the oeuvre. Will they be horrified by Art's handiwork? Or will they get too distracted praying to ghoul gods, praising pizza, and admiring director Leone's dedication to men getting head'd?A heads up to the squeamish: if you don't dig discussions about very, very violent things, maybe skip this one?Next movie announced every Wednesday.
