Episode 98: The Fours Fantastic Part 1
Description
The Fantastic Four! Once dubbed "The World's Greatest Comic Magazine," they've struggled to make it on the big screen, split between earnest attempts at blockbusters and quickie attempts to retain the film rights. And Dan and Keith are here to tackle one of each as the road to First Steps begins. Roger Corman produced the first attempt, a low-budget B-movie never intended to see the light of day, but which didn't account for the nascent internet's ability to spread a video file. Eleven years later, Tim Story made it into theatres with, at present, the only Fantastic Four movie to earn a sequel. Who did best with Dr. Doom? Which source material should Tim Story NOT have referenced? Can The Thing look good on screen? All this and more, with the Fantastic Four(s)!
