🧤 Is the 2020s Fantastic Four film secretly brilliant... or just fantastically flawed? In this episode of iCritic LIVE, our panel of middle-aged cinephiles takes a nostalgic stroll back to the superhero origin that dared to predate the MCU boom. With decades of movie-watching wisdom and a dash of generational sass, the crew dissects The Fantastic Four: First Steps—exploring its cultural context, character dynamics, and that infamous rubbery Reed Richards stretch.

🔥 From comic purists to popcorn appreciators, expect sharp insights, hearty laughs, and a deep dive into how this film fits (or fumbles) within the evolution of superhero cinema. Whether you're revisiting it with fresh eyes or defending it with fiery passion, this roundtable gives the Fantastic Four their due... or their roast.

🎧 Tune in, geek out, and rediscover the origin story that paved the way—awkwardly but ambitiously.
