Episode 70 - Fantastic Four: First Steps

In this episode the hosts discuss the new Fantastic Four movie—its Jack Kirby–inspired aesthetic, character dynamics, Silver Surfer and Galactus choices, and how it fits into the MCU’s future. They compare past Fantastic Four films, debate casting and performances, and evaluate box office concerns and storytelling choices.

The group shares individual reactions, scores, and thoughts on the film’s strengths (family themes, visual style) and weaknesses (rushed third act, pacing). Mid- and post-credit scenes and franchise implications are also covered.
