In this episode of Story Proof, Bradley wanted to play another game. So we made one up. Variety recently released a ranking of all 54 MCU properties, up to, and including Fantastic Four. We're only talking about the movies. The rules: Bradley receives a group of ten movies in random order, and tries to guess how Variety had them ranked, then Brendon tells him if it's lower or higher on Variety's list. Hilarity and frustration ensue. Join us for the fun as we rank and discuss our feelings on how the MCU should be ranked.

We recently guest starred on The Movie Pope, discussing how we felt about The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Check it out here. https://youtu.be/GiaDE7qpYeA?si=Fvb6T933XqsUIjBh

Is Michael Bay a good director? Join us as we answer some of these questions, and only consider the others.
