Episode 124: Fantastic Four (2005) and (2015)

In this episode, Stuart and Jacob tackle the highs and lows of the "Fantastic Four" franchise, diving deep into the original 2005 film and its disastrous 2015 reboot. They discuss the charm and campiness of '05, from Chris Evans' great performance as Human Torch to the surprisingly decent practical effects that *mostly* hold up today (some REALLY don't). But they don't shy away from the cringe-worthy moments either, and there are a ton! How old is Michael Chiklis's "Thing" supposed to be in relation to the rest of them? And how badly do the film's writers just want Jessica Alba to be showing skin at all times? They wouldn't get their chance to go all the way there until the sequel! And don't forget the troubled production and mess of a self-serious feature that the 2015 movie turned out to be. Yikes!Also featured in this episode are Stuart's inexplicable experience with 2006's "A Good Year", Jacob's massive 2025 theater crawl, Robert Downey Jr. as the new Victor von Doom, and discussions on the potential for lesser-known Marvel and DC characters to get their time in the spotlight.
