Coincidentally commemorating the 9 year anniversary of what’s been dubbed one of the worst superhero movies ever made, we watched Josh Trank’s 2015 mega-flop Fantastic Four a.k.a. Fant4stic this week. Doomed from the start by the competing forces of a hot young director and a studio trying to compete with the media conglomerate that will buy them two years later, the resulting attempt to reboot the Fantastic Four into darker, Cronenbergian territory was not so fantastic. It’s stinks actually, but who’s really to blame? Josh Trank? Fox? Kate Mara’s wig? With the MCU’s own iteration of Marvel’s first family on the horizon, the time has finally come for us to figure out exactly what went wrong.
Featuring the debut of our new fourth mic: Kevin Nguyen. He can only say "Hi, I'm Kevin" in a silly voice.
