Episode 107 - Fantastic Four (2015)

It’s clobberin’ time! Welcome back to another “Fantastic” episode of Not A Bomb. This is the podcast where we go back and reexamine some of the biggest financial bombs in cinema history. This week, Troy and Brad are joined by Eric from The VHS Files Podcast and everyone’s favorite encylcopedia of movie knowledge, Jose, to discuss Marvel’s third attempt at bringing the iconic superhero family to the big screen - Fantastic Four (2015) or FANT4STIC.
