Almost 20 years ago, one of the most notorious comic book films of all time was produced: Roger Corman's 'The Fantastic Four'! For most of its existence, this unreleased gem, which fans either loved or bemoaned, was only available through bootleg fan copies at comic book conventions. A VHS or DVD copy was the Holy Grail of Geekdom! Now, on the eve of production on the documentary 'Doomed: The Untold Story of Roger Corman's "Fantastic Four" Movie', original cast members Rebecca Staab, Joseph Culp, Carl Ciarfalio and documentary producer Mark Sikes (who was a casting assistant on the film) talk about what it was like making the film, being in the film and looking back 20 years later! Geekscapist Satori claims "This is a really great ep, probably my favorite since you've been on Toadhop." and "This is BRILLIANT!!!!" Who are we to argue with a longtime Geekscapist? Enjoy!
