This week on the show, we discuss our recent visit to Southern California for San Diego Comic Con (7:18) and reviewing the 37th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe: Fantastic Four: First Steps (43:39)!

"Set against the vibrant backdrop of a 1960s-inspired, retro-futuristic world, First Steps follows Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm and Ben Grimm as they face their most daunting challenge yet: forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond. 

While the world loves them, they must now defend Earth from a ravenous space god Galactus and his enigmatic Herald, Silver Surfer."

Joining us today is the filmmaker behind Shopping For Superman, the upcoming documentary that takes the viewer on a 50-year journey that reveals the origin story of their friendly neighborhood comic shops and the people fighting to keep their doors open.

"Since it began, the retail comics industry has contracted by over 75% with more shops closing every month. After five years of diminished sales, a global pandemic, distributor upsets, and the digitization of retail shopping dominating most markets, Shopping for Superman asks the question, 'Can our local comic shops be saved?'

Shopping for Superman does more than explain the history of retail comic book shops. Its underlying narrative reveals how shops directly influenced comic book publishing to cultivate some of the most daring and controversial materials ever committed to print."
