In this bonus minisode, Nate and Adam give their bite-sized reviews of the recently released The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and how it stacks up against Superman. Our latest special summer episode covered the scandalous story of Roger Corman's unreleased The Fantastic Four (1994), alongside Stan Lee's guest star appearance in The Simpsons episode “I Am Furious (Yellow).” So with that in mind we ask, did the MCU break it or make it better?Lobby Chats are short bonus mini-episodes where Adam and Nate share their thoughts on new releases, what they're watching besides movies parodied on The Simpsons, and more.For more Simpsons movie parody content, check out SpringfieldGoogolplex.com, or follow us @simpsonsfilmpod on Instagram, Bluesky, TikTok, YouTube, and Letterboxd.

In Part 2 of our conversation with legendary comic creator Jerry Ordway, we pivot from Metropolis to Marvel as Jerry shares his candid thoughts on the legacy and missed opportunities of the Fantastic Four movies—especially from the perspective of someone who's spent time chronicling Marvel's first family on the page. We also get some memorable Stan Lee stories, offering insight into the man behind the myth from someone who's seen the industry evolve up close.But this episode isn't just nostalgia—we dive into the more complex aspects of comic book history, including how creators depicted people of color during the Golden and Silver Ages. Jerry speaks honestly about the era's blind spots and how the medium has both reflected and shaped cultural attitudes over time. It's a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation with one of comics' most respected voices.
With The Fantastic Four: First Steps in theaters this week, Nate and Adam felt inspired to cover the latest MCU blockbuster. But in the absence of a press pass, we decided to watch Roger Corman's unreleased The Fantastic Four (1994) instead! We also revisit “I Am Furious (Yellow)” (S13E18), the most Marvel-icious episode of the classic era of The Simpsons.Also in this episode:• The behind-the-scenes Hollywood shenanigans that kept this film from seeing the light of day • Is Stan Lee one of the best guest stars ever on The Simpsons?• Roger Corman's surprising influence on The Simpsons movie references• An ode to the golden era of internet cartoonsPlus, check out our show notes for a complete list of Simpsons references, double feature suggestions, and further readingWe will return with regular biweekly episodes in September.

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!

The Fantastic Four are finally back on the big screen, with Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps now out in theaters! It has been a nightmare watching some of my favorite characters in all of comics continuously get butchered in big screen adaptations, and Kevin Feige & Marvel Studios have been promising that they're finally gonna deliver a faithful adaptation of the Fantastic Four. The Fantastic Four have, truly, always been some of my favorite characters in Marvel Comics. From the Byrne run of the '80s to the Jonathan Hickman run, they've also had some of my favorite long runs in all of Marvel. Even the current Ryan North run is fantastic. But for so long, film adaptations have never really understood what made the team awesome. The Fantastic Four: First Steps has been, without question, my most anticipated MCU movie of this era because all the trailers have really teased that this film will finally deliver on the intimate family dynamics, old-school optimism and whacky sci-fi of the stories I grew up loving. And the fact that this felt like the most unique movie in the entire MCU, because of it's setting and decor, was just a bonus. So, does The Fantastic Four: First Steps mark the triumphant arrival of some of the MCU's most captivating new characters, or is it another Multiverse Saga dud? Find out in this NON-SPOILER review!The Fantastic Four: First Steps:Directed by: Matt ShakmanScreenplay by: Josh Friedman and Eric Pearson and Jeff Kaplan & Ian SpringerStory by: Eric Pearson and Jeff Kaplan & Ian Springer and Kat WoodBased on the Marvel comics by: Stan Lee and Jack KirbyProduced by: Kevin FeigeCo-Producer: Mitch BellExecutive Producers: Louis D'Esposito, Grant Curtis, Tim LewisMusic by: Michael GiacchinoDirector of Photography: Jess HallEdited by: Nona Khodai, Tim RocheCasting by: Sarah FinnProduction Design by: Kasra FarahaniCostume Design by: Alexandra ByrneCast: Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Ralph Ineson, Julia Garner, Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne, Sarah NilesSynopsis: Against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, Marvel's First Family is forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, while defending Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer.

Den første familie får en ny start Vi lavede en hurtig overflyvning af Superman (det der på nudansk hedder en 101) i forbindelse med den nye film, og da den nye MCU-udgave af Fantastic Four også virker som en form for genstart, så var det oplagt at gøre det samme for den første, største og bedste af alle Marveltegneserier. Men først en lille spoiler-fri anmeldelse... Den nye MCU-film, nummer 37 i rækken, er på mange måder forskellig fra de 36 første i både tone, stil og form. The Fantastic Four var den tegneserie, som startede selve Marvel-universet tilbage i starten af 60'erne, og denne nye filmudgave af Stan Lee og Jack Kirbys grundlæggende klassiker er også på mange måder starten på noget nyt og et håb om genfødsel. Matt Shakman er instruktør, og sammen med Pascal, Kirby, Moss-Bachrach og Quinn – som spiller henholdsvis Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Ben Grimm og Johnny Storm, står han i spidsen for en film, der i høj grad lykkes med sin mission om fornyelse. Vi er på Jord-828, og altså ikke den kendte MCU-jord, hvor vores fire helte er de eneste superhelte og hyldes som globale superstjerner. På denne parallelverden er vi tilbage i 60'erne, i en fuldstændig fantastisk og overvældende retro-teknologisk udgave, som på mange måder er filmens største succes. Feige & Co. har lagt de tidligere MCU-films ”realisme” bag sig og fortæller historien om Galactus, den almægtige planetæder, hans bebudede ankomst til Jorden med store, farvestrålende armbevægelser, og det er langt mere tegneserieagtigt, end vi før har set. Normalt bryder jeg mig ikke om det udtryk, men lige præcis her passer det perfekt til filmen. Hele skuespillerensemblet er, som altid, virkelig velfungerende, men det er Vanessa Kirby som Sue Storm, Den Usynlige Kvinde, der virkelig skiller sig ud. Hun er alt andet end usynlig … Faktisk er hun filmens dramatiske og følelsesmæssige kerne, hvorom alt drejer. Min største anke (forestil dig nu gatekeeper Søndergårds misbilligende stemme) er, at de har kaijuficeret Galactus, og at slutningen på mange måder ligner alle de andre film i MCU-serien. Så jeg er ikke helt oppe at ringe, jeg er måske mere lettet end begejstret, men det skal ikke forhindre mig i at anbefale denne film som et yderst underholdende og meget charmerende skridt i den rigtige retning for MCU. Jeg tror det lykkedes ”To-Gear Søndergård”, at finde et mellemliggende gear, så jeg er spændt hvad du syntes? Rigtig god lyttehygge.

#582 In this episode of the podcast, I take a deep dive into how comparison can seriously derail your progress and enjoyment as a photographer. Inspired by my own experiences learning new skills—like learning to juggle and nurturing my lawn—I share how easy it is to fall into the trap of comparing yourself to others, especially in the age of social media. I remind listeners that success in photography, or any art, isn't reserved for those who started young or have the best equipment—it's all about showing up, being consistent, and putting in the work over time.I discuss the myth of overnight success by highlighting stories of people like Morgan Freeman and Stan Lee, who found their big breaks later in life. I emphasize that wherever you are in your journey is exactly where you need to be, and it's totally normal to have doubts and setbacks. What matters most is your willingness to keep going and focus on your own growth, not what others appear to be achieving.KEY TOPICS COVEREDThe Perils of Comparison in Photography - Raymond explains how comparing one's progress or results to others—whether it's speed of learning (like juggling), gear, or social media metrics—can steal the joy from personal growth. He urges photographers to focus on their individual journey and celebrate each step forward.The Myth of Instant Success and the Power of Consistency - Using stories of well-known figures like Morgan Freeman and Stan Lee, Raymond underscores that it's not too late to start or improve at photography (or any art). He highlights the importance of steady effort, practice (“putting in the reps”), and embracing the “gray areas” of life and art.Setting Intentional Goals and Noticing the World - The episode shifts towards actionable advice—encouraging listeners to discover what draws them to photography, rather than chasing external validation. Raymond introduces a practical seven-day photo diary challenge, urging listeners to capture images that make them “pause and notice,” fostering mindfulness and personal vision.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSComparison Trap: The tendency to measure one's worth or progress against others, leading to dissatisfaction and doubt. Relevant throughout the episode as Raymond identifies it as a major hindrance to creative growth.Reps (Putting in the Reps): A term borrowed from training, here meaning to consistently practice taking photos. The more you shoot, the better you'll become—emphasizing process over perfection.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow has comparing your work to others affected your enjoyment of photography?What motivates you to pick up your camera—validation from others, or personal fulfillment?In what ways can you adopt more consistency in your photographic journey?Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

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.

Our hosts return to the podcave and sit down to review the first solo outing for Harley Quinn in the episode, Harley's Holiday.Alex and Will discuss the excellent but also cartoony style to the animation for this episode.

Our hosts also take note of Robin's fish spinning skills, Veronica Vreeland's crazy Dad, the Whacky Races style car chase, the origin story of Boxy Bennet's name, and even the ghost of Stan Lee makes an appearance!

0:00 - 15:00 | Algorithmic Nightmares and Artifact Smugglers First doomscroll topic hits hard: Hobby Lobby smuggling ancient artifacts from Iraq. Over 5,000 cuneiform tablets bought under shady labels like “tile samples”. Founder Steve Green's evangelical push via the Bible Museum. Accusations of stealing from Oxford, displaying fake Dead Sea Scrolls. “Where are the actual hobbies at Hobby Lobby?” Theorizing big corporations as fronts—Walmart, Hobby Lobby, even Chuck E. Cheese. Sam jokes about these shady businesses mimicking Vatican-style secret knowledge hoarding. 15:00 - 30:00 | Occult Horror Films and Cultural Reflection Discussion shifts to horror movie occult symbolism. Black horror films and their deep ties to cultural rituals and themes. Jordan Peele's work praised; shoutout to Leprechaun in the Hood. Horror as a genre of affluence—Western culture's need for safe scares. Feminine dominance in horror—women as survivors, not victims. The “final girl” trope; comparisons across Halloween, Alien, etc. Commentary on shifting racial and gender dynamics in horror film tropes. 30:00 - 45:00 | Joey Chestnut vs. Usain Bolt Hypothetical Viral video comparing who'd win: Joey Chestnut eating + sprinting vs. Usain Bolt sprinting after eating. Intense breakdown of eating-to-running ratios. Bolt's athleticism vs. Chestnut's hotdog-devouring speed. Chestnut wins due to a significant head start from fast eating. Sam recognizes creator Evan Hand from Cash Daddy. Florida Man Games gets a mention—love for chaotic American oddities. 45:00 - 60:00 | Freemason Heroes and Controlled Narratives Commentary on dark Freemasonry and the Albert Pike quote about supplying heroes. Social media's role in manufacturing public figures and pushing agendas. DeMolay International as alleged grooming ground for globalist elites—links to Bill Clinton. Tinfoil hat perspective: “Beast System” conspiracy theory laid out. Biblical call to morality closes the segment. 60:00 - 75:00 | Mourning, Glow-Ups, and Freemason Nuance Discussion on a public figure's personal loss and surprising “glow-up”. Mike and Sam discuss how tragedies can shift life trajectory. Sam distances from the full-on Freemason hate: Acknowledges “dark sects” but defends friends in the fraternity. Joke: “Freemasons are the CrossFit of secret societies—they love to talk about it.” 75:00 - 90:00 | Slap Heard Around the NBA & Elder Abuse Allegations Epic NBA story: Charles Oakley slapping Tyrone Hill mid warm-up for unpaid debt. Ref's response: “He owes me money too.” Brief shoutout to classic Knicks era and old-school NBA roughness. Sam reacts to a documentary on elder abuse involving Stan Lee. Accusations of manipulation and exploitation in his final years. Sam stunned by how tragic and common these stories are.

Power of X-Men: The Greatest Comic Book Podcast in All of the Multiverse!
Cassandra Nova is coming! In this episode, we dive deep into Grant Morrison's New X-Men #122, where Cassandra, now in Xavier's body, begins her terrifying conquest of the Shi'ar Empire and sets her gaze back on Earth. What does this mean for the X-Men, and can anyone stop her? We also revisit the Giant-Size X-Men: Jean Grey and Emma Frost issue from 2020—Hickman and Dauterman's homage to the psychic rescue in the previous episode. Did it deliver? And finally… we react to YOUR hottest takes!
In this 2006 conversation, legendary writer and editor Denny O'Neil joins Word Balloon to revisit his groundbreaking 1980s run on The Question, a series that helped redefine the character for a new generation. Originally created by Steve Ditko for Charlton Comics, Vic Sage found new life under O'Neil's pen—philosophical, gritty, and deeply human.We also explore Denny's novel Helltown, which digs into Vic Sage's origin story in a bold new way. Longtime fans will notice some departures from past continuity, but the spirit—and sharp commentary—are pure O'Neil.Plus: Denny shares stories from his early days in comics, working under editors like Julie Schwartz and Stan Lee, and yes, there's some great Batman talk too—no surprise from the man who helped shape the Dark Knight for over three decades. A must-listen for fans of classic comics, noir storytelling, and one of the true legends of the mediu
On this episode of Men of Steel, Case and Jmike are joined by nerd about town Adam Lance Garcia to dive into one of the perenial crossovers of the '70s: Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man! We talk tabloid-sized team-ups, Bronze Age bravado, and what happens when DC and Marvel let their icons share a skyline. Who wins? … I mean… It's Superman. It's obviously Superman. But that said, it's a blast of a conversation, so tune in, True Believers! Check out Adam's Stuff: The Green Lama: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-green-lama/id1593061792 From A Certain Point of View: https://a.co/d/fiY396f Overview Adam Lance Garcia, an established Star Wars author, shares his early fandom of Superman sparked by the 1976 Christopher Reeve film and its lasting influence on his work. The 1976 Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man marks the first DC/Marvel superhero crossover with a creative team that includes Gerry Conway and Stan Lee, highlighting its historical significance in comic book history. The story features a 92-page length with 36 pages dedicated to prologues to set character dynamics effectively, a considerable feat for comics at that time. Character interactions are facilitated by a news convention setting, notably altering the traditional roles of Superman as he works as a TV anchor at GBS. Lex Luthor emerges as the primary villain, while Doc Ock's role remains secondary, demonstrating the power dynamics within the narrative. Unique plot devices, such as a red sun ray that allows Spider-Man to challenge Superman, illustrate creative solutions for character conflicts. The discussion reveals dated elements in the narrative, particularly an Africa sequence deemed problematic, albeit 'well-intentioned' for its time.

Don't Kill the Messenger with movie research expert Kevin Goetz
Send Kevin a Text MessageIn this episode of Don't Kill the Messenger, host Kevin Goetz sits down with Michael Uslan, the originator and executive producer of the Batman and Batman-related movie universe, who turned his childhood passion for comic books into Hollywood gold. As an avid comic book collector and Batman superfan, Uslan is proof that following your passion pays off. He shares the story of his decade-long journey to bring a dark, serious Batman to the big screen after being horrified by the campy 1960s TV show.The Origin of Michael Uslan's Passion (07:47)Uslan reveals his "secret origin" moment: watching the first episode of the 1966 Batman TV series and making a vow like young Bruce Wayne to someday show the world the true, dark Batman.Ten Years of Hollywood Rejection (09:53)From October 1979 to the first Batman movie's release, Uslan shares how he and partner Ben Melnicker faced rejection from every studio in Hollywood.Batman's Batman (15:12)When offered the chance to make a campy Batman movie, Uslan said no. His partner Ben called him "Batman's Batman," the character's defender who would stand by his initial vision.Peter Guber Says Yes (16:15)Uslan details how former 20th Century Fox president Peter Guber became the first executive excited about his dark Batman vision, leading to a nine-and-a-half-year journey to production.Financing the Dream (22:43)Uslan explains how he quit his job when his wife was nine months pregnant and raised money by selling project shares to his network, who invested in him, not Batman.Comic Book Academic Pioneer (25:16)Uslan recounts becoming the first person to teach an accredited college course on comic books at Indiana University as a Junior, leading to national publicity and a life-changing phone call from Stan Lee.Stan Lee's Mentorship and Marvel's Debt to Batman (39:54)Uslan shares Stan Lee's revelation that the Marvel Cinematic Universe wouldn't exist without his Batman, which proved superhero movies should focus on the person.Tim Burton and Michael Keaton (40:58)Uslan describes discovering Tim Burton through Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and Burton's genius decision to cast Michael Keaton, initially against Uslan's wishes.Uslan demonstrates persistence, vision, and the courage to say no when protecting something he believed in.

Schwartz, Ph.D., a scientist who is also a prolific author. In 1990, Lucasfilm contracted Paul Davids to co-write (with his wife, Hollace Davids) six STAR WARS books that weave stories featuring the STAR WARS characters that continue the STAR WARS saga after RETURN OF THE JEDI. Those books, which sold millions of copies in many languages, are THE GLOVE OF DARTH VADER, THE LOST CITY OF THE JEDI, ZORBA: The Hutt's Revenge, MISSION FROM MOUNT YODA, QUEEN OF THE EMPIRE, and PROPHETS OF THE DARK SIDE.He has written, produced and/or directed 12 feature films, mainly distributed by Showtime (ROSWELL, 1994) and NBCUniversal International Television (STARRY NIGHT, THE SCI-FI BOYS, JESUS IN INDIA, BEFORE WE SAY GOODBYE, and THE LIFE AFTER DEATH PROJECT), with a film slated for release in 2016: MARILYN MONROE DECLASSIFIED.

Paul Davids' very first book (also co-written with his Hollace Davids) is a cross between Hawaiian mythology and fiction about Mark Twain's early travels. The legendary Stan Lee wrote the foreword.

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.

David Lee Corbo (The Raven) and special guest Drew Tang Reborn uncover the secret threads connecting Hollywood blockbusters, intelligence agencies, and occult magicians in shaping global narratives. From the roots of WWII propaganda in Captain America comics to Elon Musk's real-life Iron Man parallels, they break down how generational storytelling primes societies for conflict and control. In the second half, they trace the Civil War storyline in Marvel's “Civil War”—a coded allegory for the battle between globalism and nationalism—and reveal its echoes in movements like Anonymous, QAnon, and modern streaming platforms.
