A new FANTASTIC FOUR is in theaters today, and we thought it was a perfect time to dip into the archives and revisit the one from 2005. It was a simpler time, when budgets were lower, needle drops were more plentiful and the MCU was still three years away, but there's still some charm in this mid-aughts Marvel movie. Listen separately or watch along as we talk through the Tim Story-directed superhero opus starring Ioan Gruffud, Jessica Alba, Michael Chiklis and a pre-Captain America Chris Evans!
