Is this, the 4th attempt at bringing the Marvel Universe‘s “First Family” to the big screen actually as fantastic as it purports to be? Well, we have finally settled on a look and feel that best suits the classic super hero squad: and it’s ‘60s Retro-futurism all the way for one and all!!! It’s a whole new universe of Marvel stories starring Omni-daddy Pedro Pascal, serving C&%t Vanessa Kirby, Joseph “i’m on fire!” Quinn and Ebon Moss Bacharach (or baccarat as Quinny thinks he’s called) as the truly Fantastic Four!

In this film we kick of Marvel‘s Phase 6 and usher in a new style and direction of storytelling, but is it actually good?  Listen in and find out!

These fantastic four reviewers are here for this one, so it’s all hands on deck as we hit this faster than light!

It seems Quinny’s HERBIE history lesson was incorrect and entirely apocryphal…

Dion 

Ohh hello and welcome to the pairing Table of Awesome. It is time for a foursome of a different kind on today. The Tuesday. What time? What time is it? 

Speaker 3

Speaker 6 

Blame on us? Yeah, it’s it’s. 

Speaker 3 

Fun it’s it’s podcasting time. 

Dion 

Butter in time. Wait, that doesn’t quite work. I don’t know. And right now, Pete, which she was invisible. Yeah. Yeah, well done.

Jill 

Really gone. Just gone. 

Dion 

Us in the void. 

Peta 

I’m invisible. I’m not silent. 

Speaker 

Yeah. Yes. 

Dion 

That’s true. They didn’t use that enough in the film. I don’t think they’re just having Sue just kind of being like, what are you guys talking about and freaking people out because, you know, I do, if I were the Invisible Man. 

Jill 

Yeah, she’s not seen, not heard woman. 

Dion 

Yeah, not seen, not heard. Wow. Hello. Back after a week. Off. Off. Yeah, yeah. Small, small break. 

Quinny 

Wow. Hey, I said, everybody feeling enthused and like, upbeat and stuff. 

Jill 

It was nice. To have a little break to be honest. 

Dion 

Yeah, yeah, I hate those months with the five Tuesdays. What? What weirdness is that ********? And now? Ohh, it’s it’s gone. You’ve gone all glowy and. 

Peta 

Yeah, I’ve, I’ve. I’ve smudged the camera so. 

Quinny 

And ohh well. Yeah, I know. She’s she’s actually doing the exact effect from the movie where it’s just a little. 

Jill 

Yeah, yeah. The Vaseline lens. Yeah. 

Speaker 3 

Bit of. 

Quinny 

Now, now pets. No. 

Dion 

Can I stretch my hand over here? 

Quinny 

Pun. Serve absolute can’t with your face while you. 

Jill 

Do that. Yeah, there it is. 

Dion 

There you go. Perfect. 

Speaker 3 

And now I’m going to do some cooking, OK? 

Dion 

Ohh dear and you know what I hope for everyone. Hello to everyone in the chat mainly for. I hope you all got to do the home. 

Speaker 

Hey. 

Dion 

Work. 

Jill 

Yeah. Did everyone enjoy the movie? I. 

Dion 

This particular day. 

Quinny 

Mean I could. See it? Yeah, Tari looks like that. She hasn’t seen it yet. She’s saying that she that please be good. Ohh. Interesting. 

Speaker 

Oh. 

Speaker 6 

Ohh. 

Dion 

Fascinating. What? 

Jill 

Yeah. 

Dion 

Look. Yeah, we Fantastic Four has been out since last Thursday. Officially, we saw it last week which? Was quite fun. 

Jill 

Yeah, there’s even some early screenings on Wednesday for the public. 

Dion 

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s out. It’s part of Marvel’s Phase 266. 

Quinny 

Yep. First film of Save 6. First film of, say Phase 6. God, that’s. 

Speaker 6 

Dion 

Why couldn’t have made it the first film of Phase 4? 

Quinny 

Because that was quite some time. 

Dion 

And then it. Would have been. Ago. Right. OK. Look, the fourth attempt at the Fantastic Fours and I I include in that the the 1994. 1. Which was never released except IS is is hovered around. Yes, there was a 1994 one. 

Jill 

That would make this the 5th 1 then. 

Dion 

Yeah. No, no, it’s it’s, it’s, I say this as in the fourth go at it because there were two with the same cast. So you have the, yeah. 

Speaker 6 

Ohh OK. 

Dion 

What are you talking about? This is. Our fourth thing. We have had, yes, it’s the fourth thing, you know, Michael Chiklis did a great job getting covered in rubber. 

Quinny 

That is true, Yep. 

Peta 

Yeah. 

Dion 

You know, and then you know, we’re up to this one. 

Jill 

Can’t remember the other guy. 

Quinny 

That’s gonna get off in the life. And remember who played the thing in Fan 4? Stick. Ohh my. 

Dion 

God fan 4 stick. 

Jill 

I know. 

Quinny 

That was, that’s what it’s called. 

Jill 

Fan Fant Fant 4 stick. 

Quinny 

I don’t know, but I I just. 

Jill 

Yeah, I think that a was in the. Middle not at the start. 

Quinny 

Ohh OK, I just call it fan 4 stick because it’s it’s easier to say. 

Dion 

Ohh, that’s right, it’s Jamie Bell. 

Quinny 

Ohh God that’s. 

Dion 

Right, you remember. 

Speaker 2 

Whoops. 

Quinny 

He was the young. 

Dion 

Billy Elliot. 

Speaker 3 

Yes. 

Quinny 

And and the young, chipper guy out of of the first king or the the King Kong movie that Peter Jackson did. 

Dion 

And he was also tin tin. But that was who made. 

Quinny 

It so not really who you would think. Yeah, would fit in a giant thing. 

Jill 

Memorable. 

Dion 

That he was the. Thing, yes. 

Quinny 

And Karina makes a good point, a arresting piece to Julian McMahon, who was the 1st Doctor Doom actually. Sorry, 2nd Doctor Doom. 

Speaker 

Yeah. Yeah. 

Dion 

Yes, because there was a doom. 

Jill 

I did rewatch the 2005 version on the weekend just for a bit of nostalgia. Yeah, I like those trashy ones. They’re great. They’re so campy and stupid. 

Speaker 

Did you? 

Quinny 

What did you think of it? 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Jill 

And I look back on them. And I’m like, wow, the simpler times where we did comic book films. And we really, really did make them comic bookie. 

Speaker 

Yeah, man. Yeah. 

Dion 

And finally. 

Jill 

Well, we weren’t going. For all of the realism and stuff. 

Quinny 

Yeah. And they didn’t have to fit in with some. Gigantic *******. Thing. 

Jill 

I will tell you practical effects. Thing I don’t know I like. Yeah, CGI 1 is like that, feels like. A cheap cop out. 

Quinny 

Right. OK. OK. Fine, no suit. 

Jill 

With balls on it and not put in. Any effort and? Just animate it. 

Quinny 

You know what? 

Dion 

Wait, do you mean wait? 

Peta 

The fine effort. 

Jill 

Hey, it’s a different kind of effort. I’m like, let’s get our hands dirty and make a ******* stinky suit out of foam expanding. Foam or something like that and. Of course, some lung disease. Let’s get into. 

Dion 

I’m I’m going to like, I’m just going to take it on part of the actors there. Sometimes I’m just going to be like, yeah, maybe they don’t. 

Jill 

It. 

Quinny 

This is Jeff. 

Dion 

Want that? Maybe they don’t want to spend 16 hours in a makeup chair to to to do. Yeah. 

Speaker 6 

As a cosplayer, I I would agree, but I would also disagree because I think it would be fun to make it. 

Dion 

Sure. I mean ultimately it’ll be that great thing of like they make someone do that and then they just go oh. 

Quinny 

I’m. I’m just. 

Dion 

We’re just gonna CGI it. 

Quinny 

Well, The thing is, there was a there was a lot of the thing in this one that was actually practical. Like there’s quite believe it or not, there’s there’s shots that they hired a a pretty big wrestler to be the body for it. So on set. A lot of the time there was a practical suit, dude of roughly the right size. Is. 

Jill 

So we’re not talking about a guy that’s just standing in there in a green zentai. 

Quinny 

No, I mean when when they’re doing it with Evan Moss, Baccarat, then he was in the uh, whatever the **** he said. Backup, backup, backtrack. 

Dion 

Doctor rap. No. Baccarat. That’s a. 

Quinny 

Alright. 

Dion 

Game I know. 

Quinny 

Dion 

Know you’re in a casino in Monte. Carlo yes, guys. 

Quinny 

Anyway, when he was on set, yeah, they they had this entire certain stuff like that. But there were quite a lot of it that was shot any time they needed, like a wide shot and everything. They actually had a dude in a suit with the. Ohh head and everything. Cool. Alright. Yeah, I’ve I’ve seen the the pictures of that, but I’ve also in the chat just put a link to the 1994 one and the thing in that Jill, you would love that one because the the suit actually looks more like the comic book character than any of the others have. 

Jill 

I love the terrifying dead. Eyes. 

Speaker 3 

I know. 

Dion 

I mean, it’s great. It’s yeah, it’s very thingy. 

Jill 

That’s. Yeah, that’s. 

Speaker 6 

Look at that thingy over there. That thingy. 

Dion 

Yeah, that, that, that is definitely something I’d go. What is that thing? If I saw it in a in a thing? 

Jill 

With that young man with fake grey sideburns. 

Quinny 

I know, right? 

Dion 

Yeah. Hey guys. I’m trying hard here, Joe. What? 

Quinny 

Honestly, if you could find that film. Like this. This is I love this one because my my thing with Fantastic Four it it started with this film because I was one of those ******* nerds who heard that there was a film that got made and was never released. So I then went and hunted. 

Speaker 

For. 

Quinny 

It and I, you know, back in the days of VHS trading, got somebody to send me a *******. VHS of this film that had never been released, and I’ve watched it. It’s terrible, but it’s actually got a lot of, like, it’s trying really hard. 

Jill 

And. Nice. 

Quinny 

To do all of the things that are fantastic, four movie should do just with no budget. Hmm. So yeah, like it’s got Doctor Doom. It’s got the mole, man. It’s it’s got them all doing their powers. But like Reed, stretchy arms are like pool noodles with a with a *******. A glove on the end. 

Jill 

I mean that’s still image alone is giving vibes of like 70s Italian Spiderman. 

Dion 

Yes, got a bit of that. I mean, you’ve gotta. What’s what’s the what’s the the crossover slash league like the Marvel Group, you know, secret wars thing. It’s the 1989 Punisher. Dolph Lundgren. It’s the the Captain America film. It’s the Fantastic Four film. 

Quinny 

Hmm. 

Dion 

You know, it’s all of those ones Pre Marvel Universe. Mashed together. And you’re like, what is this strain? ******* place, but we don’t. Here, we’re in a different, strange place this time. We’re in much more budget, some bigger names and some. 

Quinny 

Yeah. 

Dion 

Quinny 

Yeah, yeah. 

Dion 

About doing something fun. 

Quinny 

Yeah. 

Jill 

And that’s nice. Surprising what you’re going to accomplish when you put in some time and effort. 

Speaker 

Yeah, isn’t it? 

Dion 

Isn’t it’s kind of like oh. 

Quinny 

And when you? And when you’ve had three goes at it before and gotten it wrong three times. You kind of go. Well, **** it. We’re gonna hold off on this one because, I mean, Fantastic Four has always been seen as Marvel’s first family. Like, you know, they’re they’re one of the very earliest Marvel superhero groups. And you know, we’re what, 40, you know, 39 films in now something. 

Speaker 5 

Sure. 

Dion 

More, I don’t know 112 where 112 films in now. That’s how many there are. I I won’t be fact checked. 

Quinny 

And we’ve, yeah, and now we’ve just introduced the very first Fantastic Four stuff. So yeah, it’s it’s an interesting one. I mean, obviously they were tied up in rights for. A long time. 

Dion 

But yeah, I mean. Look, it’s fine. We’re just going to ignore the rest of those fan 4 test. Stick, whatever it is. 

Quinny 

Can’t ignore them. 

Dion 

We have to stick, then forget stick. That’s what I. Yeah, we’re gonna ignore that. 

Quinny 

Not. The autistic fans. 

Dion 

We’re going to, we’re going to ignore that. Michael B Jordan, he’s also Johnny Storm. Yes, I know, right. No, he’s not Killmonger. He’s definitely Johnny storm. We’re also going to ignore that Captain America. 

Quinny 

Ohh yeah yeah, he was one of them. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Jill 

Was also Johnny Storm and Captain America. 

Dion 

Was also. Stone. Yeah. Yes, exactly. We’re going to ignore all of those things and focus very. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Dion 

Much in Comic Daddy and his family and Pedro Pascal’s not not happy just being space Daddy, Apocalypse Daddy and General General Daddy. 

Jill 

Yeah. Thanks, daddy. 

Dion 

Now he’s also comic Daddy. 

Quinny 

Hmm. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Dion 

Yeah, along with. 

Quinny 

Is there anything he can’t, daddy? 

Dion 

You know what? Hollywood will not let him. Not daddy something. He’s in there now forever. Like. Yeah, he will just. He will just keep doing it until everyone collectively gets sick of him. And I’ll be able to return to an anonymity. 

Quinny 

Hmm. I just realized it is the summer of Pedro, it’s. 

Jill 

Summer picture. 

Dion 

Yeah. 

Speaker 

Been just realized. 

Dion 

Multiple summers. 

Quinny 

It was another ******* attempted Fantastic Four. 

Dion 

Oh. Have you? Yes, grey tailed. 

Quinny 

Well, technically. There was another Reed Richards. Ohh John Krasinski but that. 

Jill 

Yes. Yeah, that’s right. 

Dion 

That’s in Multiverse of Madness, which is so the. But that’s not the Fantastic Four. 

Quinny 

Yes, from. Marvel Universe. He’s one of the breeds. 

Jill 

He was. He’s Mr. fantastic. 

Dion 

Is he though? 

Jill 

Yes. 

Quinny 

He’s Mr. spaghetti by the end of. It but anyway. 

Dion 

Yeah, like I mean, yeah, that’s just on film, but it it, it wasn’t the Fantastic Four and this is what we want to focus on. It’s about these group of people and. How they’re represented in cinema? Yeah. What you’re not. 

Jill 

Capturing in the audio is our eye rolls. 

Quinny 

Massive massive eye roll. 

Dion 

Come on. 

Quinny 

Beyond wiping away John Krasinski from the from the entire multiverse of of anything, and we’re all going. No, no, no. 

Jill 

Yeah, that’s because they don’t. Can’t do a convincing cosplay of John Krasinski’s Mr. Fantastic. You can only do the Pedro. 

Dion 

No, I cannot. 

Jill 

Dion 

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and if you squint, the Ian Crawford one. 

Speaker 6 

You’re clean shaven for that one. 

Quinny 

I’ve just had an eye. Yeah, my eyes are not that ******* blind. 

Dion 

OK, then fine. I’ll go with this one if this. If he’s part of the Fantastic Four Canon, you need to cast the other three members of the Fantastic Four in those universes. Who is it going? 

Jill 

That’s true. OK. Oh my God. Yeah. Can we come back to this at the? 

Dion 

No immediate. OK. We’ll give you time. Time. Yeah, time. 

Jill 

End of the show. We’ll be here for 15. 

Dion 

Minutes. Yeah. Yeah. So if if if John Krasinski’s Mr. Fantastic and chat go and throw some something we. 

Quinny 

Man. Need to sleep? Yeah. 

Speaker 6 

******* Emily Blunt. I would go. Emily Blunt force. 

Jill 

Storm. 

Quinny 

**** yeah. Yep, Yep. You down to? 

Dion 

That yeah, Karina, just like gonna get to the. Synopsis yet guys. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Peta 

You know, keep getting pushed. 

Speaker 

Push. 

Speaker 6 

Push by the chat. Let’s go. 

Speaker 2 

Yeah, that’s a wow. 

Quinny 

I’m being bullied by the test. 

Peta 

This film about. 

Quinny 

What is this film about it? No, I’m not gonna. I’m not gonna do the synopsis now because I’ve been told. I have to. 

Jill 

No. Ohh yes. 

Speaker 6 

Jesus. 

Dion 

Christ. 

Jill 

That sounds like me energy. 

Dion 

Peta 

Settling into that demand avoidance there. 

Dion 

Come on. Tony, have you got? Have you got some synopsis? 

Peta 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

For us it is. I have got a. Synopsis for everyone but Karina. 

Peta 

To be fair to Karina, it’s been 20 minutes. 

Jill 

Can you do it in a Brooklyn accent? OK. 

Speaker 3 

Forced ohh. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, the Fantastic Four must defend Earth from a ravenous space God called Galactus and his enigmatic herald the Silver Surfer. And guess what? It’s clubber and die this. 

Quinny 

Ohh, cool, that’s it. That’s the whole book. Was an opposite. Trust me, there was an even shorter one. 

Speaker 

Is that it? 

Speaker 6 

Yeah. Wow. 

Dion 

I love sofas, yeah. 

Speaker 6 

Silvers, soyfer yeah, soyfer. 

Dion 

Some some more continents and vowels in there that I remember from. 

Speaker 3 

Hey, I’m going down the street and I’m going to start some some flights. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

Dion 

Yeah, that’s about it. 

Quinny 

Hey, get that man some cookies. Thank you. I. 

Dion 

Would love some cookies. That’s kind of what the movie is about and I’m, I’m I’m with it like this isn’t one of those films that you went and saw and you’re like, oh, great, we get to have an origin story of how did they get their powers, how did. They do this like how do we go through that? They were like, no, you know what? 

Quinny 

Ohh thank God. 

Jill 

Yes, we just got a tidy. Little vignette, and that’s all we needed. 

Dion 

Yep. Quite a long vignette really explaining like how they fit into the world and how suddenly the the brokers of World Peace and everyone looks up to them and they’re the world’s family. 

Quinny 

Yep. 

Jill 

Yeah, I kind of love it. 

Dion 

I mean, OK. 

Jill 

They’re. They’re paragons. 

Quinny 

Yeah. And we, the the important thing to note is that we’re in a different world here we are in. We’re not in the regular Marvel Universe. We are in a weird kind of quasi 60s future pop, yeah, different reality. 

Speaker 

Mm-hmm. 

Speaker 3 

It’s. 

Dion 

It’s 60s futurism, so it’s just it’s there’s a divergent. 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Dion 

From our history to where it has ended up in this Earth history, and I’m I dig it, I dig the style, imagine in the 60s if four people got shot into space and came back and had all these powers and solved a bunch of problems. 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Dion 

And a bunch of other things happen. That’s how that kind of goes. It’s like, yeah, well, you know. 

Quinny 

Yeah. And the difference. 

Speaker 

I mean. 

Quinny 

Not actually stated what year this is, is it? 

Dion 

No, no, it’s just the different earth. 

Quinny 

Yeah, right. 

Dion 

And what that is. But people don’t have. 

Jill 

Yeah, it could be current day 2. 616 Earth we don’t. 

Quinny 

Yeah, yeah. 

Jill 

Know that’s just what this earth. 

Dion 

Yeah. Looks like there’s big. There’s big kind of LED screens, but no cell phones. 

Speaker 

Slide. 

Peta 

Yep, well, it’s kind of like they’ve kind of gone. We don’t need to put energy into making TV screens flat. We’ll just have giant non flat TV screens and faster than light space travel. Yeah, yes. But we’re gonna do with that extra energy. 

Dion 

There’s there’s like. 

Quinny 

No. 

Dion 

You know. Yeah. 

Peta 

We don’t need to put energy into like inventing MP threes. We’ll just keep records. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And teleporting. 

Dion 

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 

Peta 

Think of what we could have done as humanity. 

Quinny 

I didn’t know. 

Dion 

Exactly all of our computerisation goes on tape. 

Jill 

Yeah, I mean. Yeah, we invented cassettes and then CD’s and then digital format music. And now we’re back to ******* records again. 

Quinny 

So yeah, but they just didn’t bother leaving the the records. Yeah, because they realized it was the the superior format from the start, especially if you print them in. 

Dion 

Yes. Gold. And if you haven’t got a troop of players in your lounge room. You know, yeah. Eventually we’ll get to there, won’t we, like? Oh, this is my 9 musicians that follow me around and. Play music to me. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

Yeah. I mean, yeah. Karina and Casper both kind of make the point. It’s very jetsons. 

Dion 

Yeah. And that’s kind of great because that’s very familiar to the people who knew fantastic for for when they were growing up based on the cartoon, which is the the sort of. 

Peta 

So jetsons. 

Dion 

The carry over of where people would sit from the Saturday morning kind of cartoon and. You know it it it sets the tone that everyone could easily get into and I went, I’m here. I immediately know what’s going on. It has a different Marvel logo, it has a different kind of a soundtrack. It’s setting itself in a in a particular period and I was like, I’ll go with this. This is totally different to every ******* thing else. This isn’t a dark and gritty reboot. This isn’t. Anything really to do with the rest of the Marvel Universe? Yeah, kinda. Which makes me happy. And I was like, I’ll go with this. I’m immediately just going to be like, all right, what do you got? 

Jill 

Yeah. I think the thing that’s so immersive about it is the visual language that they’ve lent into so strongly and so thoroughly like the the set design and production. All the set pieces, the costumes, everything like that was like. Beautiful, like there was such attention to detail and there was not like a wasted moment on screen. It was so interesting that we’re talking about like, how like futuristic retro it is but. Like the. Costuming wasn’t futuristic. That was still like grounded in 60s fashion. 

Speaker 

Hmm yeah. 

Dion 

I had a really good time just watching the sets and the costumes. I was like they have actually paid a lot of detail to the costuming, not only of the signature folk, but the people around them too. Looked sharp as ****, I gotta say. 

Quinny 

And. 

Jill 

Yeah, like the the space suits and their hero suits were were still like. Grounded within like that 60s, like retro futuristic style, but had like the the strong 60s fashion elements as well in terms of like the textures of the fabrics and things that they used but the the colour theory throughout was fantastic and yeah just the the visual language that they. Used in this film was just so Cohen. 

Peta 

It’s a joy for. The arts, hmm. 

Dion 

Joy for the eyes until we get to the failure of the film. 

Quinny 

Wow. Jesus. OK, so, so just a reminder folks, the deal also sat through Superman and huffed. 

Speaker 

Go further on. 

Dion 

I did. I did half. He did half I wanna also. Caveat that I did see Fantastic Four, but beforehand I had. 

Speaker 6 

So. 

Dion 

To watch. Beforehand I had to win. The Avatar trailer 17 times. I don’t. I don’t know how to explain that in terms of everything else, but I had to sit through the Avatar trailer. Too many ******* times, and that may have influenced my decision. And how I enjoyed that film slightly too many times. 

Jill 

Anyway, yeah, it’s almost like they strapped you to that chair and made you watch them 17 times. 

Dion 

They kind of did. Yeah. You know, because you know, as we all know, in those kind of cinema things, the seats are gold. And if you leave one, you’re done. It’s going coming back but anyway. 

Speaker 3 

Yeah. 

Dion 

OK, enough of that. Fantastic for what? What are your first four impressions? 

Quinny 

I just wanna know why you’re getting ready to throw it. 

Speaker 2 

Hello. 

Quinny 

Under the bus. To you ohh. 

Speaker 2 

No, no. 

Quinny 

Like there have been a couple of times that you’ve already kind of started. Coming out of. Swinging. I wanna know why the big. 

Speaker 

There is. 

Dion 

Rubber punches out. Well, first, I mean, we all hate John Krasinski. And. No, I’m just joking. That’s. Three just threw that out there for. 

Peta 

Come on for John Krasinski. And he’s not like. 

Jill 

He can’t even defend himself. 

Quinny 

He’s such a nice guy. Everybody talking. 

Dion 

About, I’m talking about how effusively I love the costuming, the design, the aesthetic, the way that it just kind of moves the story along really, really quickly. It throws in some amazing nods and references to the historical stuff, like there’s covers of famous Fantastic Four issues thrown in very quickly. I know you’ve got. 

Quinny 

Oh my God, that made me so happy. 

Dion 

Classic villains like Mole Man and the Red Ghost. Yeah. Ish red. Red ghost off. 

Speaker 3 

Well, sort of. 

Dion 

Quinny 

Yeah. 

Jill 

Uh-huh. 

Dion 

In, in a lot of, this is part of the fun about the Fantastic Four is all of the bits and pieces that Reed comes up with. That’s all kind of themed Herbie, as I said. Yeah. And he was. 

Quinny 

Great. OK. Does everybody know the history of why Herbie exists? 

Jill 

No. 

Quinny 

OK, this is my my favorite stupid piece of ******* history. So in the 60s, when the Fantastic Four was being turned into a cartoon, they went OK we’re going to do the Fantastic Four and the standards people of America went hang on. One of the characters is on fire. 

Speaker 

Tell. 

Quinny 

We can’t have a children’s TV show where the children want to emulate the heroes and have a character be on fire. Why not so? In the 60s cartoon of Fantastic Four. Johnny Storm is removed entirely and is replaced by Herbie. This is where Herbie came from. Wow. 

Speaker 

Oh. Yeah. 

Quinny 

So the fact that, like the fact that he’s in the movie is ******* hilarious. But his history is even better. 

Jill 

That’s wild. 

Quinny 

And I’m pretty sure he actually talked in the animated series, but yeah, and didn’t just make bleeps and. 

Speaker 6 

Wheels. I like the Droid vibe it was. 

Dion 

Didn’t. Yeah, it didn’t sound like. Yeah, it didn’t sound like a 60s frickin B. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Dion 

I just. I just remembered something. Thing when we get this Sue storm into the proper Marvel Universe, she’s going to have to come up against Namor, yes. 

Quinny 

Hmm. 

Dion 

And and that’s a lot of that’s a that’s a whole. Jean Grey, Wolverine, Cyclops thing going to happen right there anyway. That’s right. 

Jill 

That’s something we can work on. 

Dion 

Later. Yeah, there’s a lot of smart in that one anyway, yeah. 

Speaker 

Yes. 

Quinny 

And apparently on on the set all the time, Vanessa Kirby is like, So what? What’s going on with Namal? Pedro’s like, for ***** sake, right? 

Dion 

Here she knows what’s going on. She gets all the cast members. 

Quinny 

Mm-hmm. 

Speaker 3 

Yeah. 

Dion 

Yeah. Look, I. Had a great time with it, like, you know, really good introductions to quick introductions to characters. Everyone got a little bit of ability to show who they were as characters very rapidly. Like, you didn’t have to pay to. Much there, but I also really appreciated how much they felt like a family and they felt caring and it was showing them in a particular way, which it wasn’t like, oh, these are conflicted people. They don’t know how to, you know, where’s the drama? I mean, the drama isn’t in the family. The drama is external forces. And I think they got that really well because there was a really cool vibe to sort of be like ohh this is, this is cool kind of family like like I I would take children to watch it and be like see, this is how you’re nice to each other. You don’t have to hit each other. You know. 

Quinny 

Don’t set each other on fire. 

Dion 

Don’t set each other on fire. Try stop working so hard. 

Quinny 

Pete Jew talk to me. 

Jill 

Oh my God. Ohh feels like so long ago but it was only Friday. 

Dion 

Four days ago that you saw it. 

Jill 

Ohh my goodness, I really liked the film. I had a good time. I saw it well. I mean, all the things that I said about the costume and set design and all that stuff was just fabulous. I thought like the story pacing was good. Like they they got to the point and they, you know they executed ABC. You know, here’s what’s happening. Here’s our problem. And here’s how we overcome. It, like they did that. UM. I thought the action bats were good. But again, I’m just not getting my **** blown off. Guys. The jet film. We’re back to the **** rating scale. OK0 **** means it was ******* amazing because they blew them both off, but two **** is bad because it doesn’t mean that I didn’t like the movie. 

Quinny 

Back to. Rating system. 

Jill 

It just didn’t **** **. Way and it made me start to think that there was something wrong with me. Like am I not finding enjoyment out of these movies anymore? Like is it becoming passe? Is it like over saturation? Like what’s the issue? I think what the issue is is that too many movies. Are just safe. They’re in a safe zone. They do what they do on the box and they do no more than that. 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Jill 

I’m not getting any like thrill, danger, excitement from these movies anymore. It feels really middle of the road and pedestrian and that’s not to say that Fantastic Four was a bad movie. It was a good movie because it did its job, but it didn’t go above and beyond. And become an exceptional film. And I just, I feel that way about Superman as well. That was not exceptional to me, and it just kind of feels like every time we go and see a big blockbuster, I come out like feeling it was it was middling level. 

Speaker 

Yes. 

Quinny 

I agree, but I want to keep Pete’s. Take on it? Sure. 

Peta 

I think it’s very well constructed, beautifully made. Film, I mean, we’ve talked about the production design and the look of it already, which is great. You know, we’ve talked about the the structure which is logical and probably better constructed than Superman. And and I do think it’s funny that I’ve kind of liked the exposition. Free tool here that I hated so much and electric state, same tool, different vibe. It’s it’s easy to get into and you want it to be because there are some plot points that that, that require a very high level of suspension of disbelief. Even for a comic book movie, you know, usually I I I I try to give the the Budweiser and the ********* like. A bit of a break in in certain genres, but I struggled a bit with a couple of the plot points that very much drove some parts of the story. Because it was a bit wibbly wobbly. Sciency want see? Yes. Yeah, like, don’t. 

Jill 

Get into the proton stream, but get into the proton stream, yeah. 

Dion 

Yeah, you’re Superman. 

Peta 

That was and, and I think the issue is I I I get I I have a tendency to get a little bit distracted if I can’t. If that suspension of disbelief gets interrupted, and I think that these particular plot points were distracting enough that even though I was enjoying the film, I still. Got kind of. Kicked out of this story a. Little bit by thinking? Yeah, but Nah. 

Quinny 

Are these things that need to be talked about in spoilery territory or? 

Peta 

Ohh, everything needs to be talked about in spoiler territory. It’s it’s just and if they weren’t plotted drivers. 

Dion 

OK, alright, fair enough. 

Peta 

It would have felt a little bit different as well, but it it did kind of feel like as well constructed and entertaining and beautiful as the film is. I kind of agree with Jill that you kind of I didn’t personally come out of the end of it going like. **** yeah. Amazing superhero film. It was just kind of like, ohh, that was like really well constructed and good looking and entertaining. And yeah, Pedro. 

Quinny 

I I have, I agree very much with with everything you guys have said. My biggest problem with it is that. The movie didn’t have its next gear up like all the way through it puddled along at an enjoyable kind of pace. It was doing what was needed, you know, things were kind of getting, you know, you had your action beats and stuff like that. But then when you get to your climax. It doesn’t have the next gear, it can’t shift it back a cog. And really. Go ****. Let’s go. It didn’t have that it, you know, the the climax I kind of was like and oh, OK, right. We’re done. ****. OK. Huh. And that’s. Kind of implementing of the whole film that it’s really well made as as we’ve all said, well made, well shot, lovely costumes, lovely everything. 

Jill 

Great performances, everybody was on their a game. 

Quinny 

But nothing that made me go ****. That was a moment. Like, you know, there was nothing. There was no moment like. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

The thors hammer. With that, America, there was no kind of really emotional beat of. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

Vision saying you know that love is just pain. You know, whatever. I can’t even remember the quote. But you know those those those really like deep seated moments that make you go ohh. That got me right in the heart. 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Peta 

Which Thunderbolts did for me, and that, you know, I. I guess if if if you’re going to hold it up against superhero films we’ve seen this year from a. 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Peta 

Is it a good movie? 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Peta 

Mm-hmm. You know, well-rounded perspective, I would still put Thunderbolts ahead of this, regardless of how beautifully. Thought out the world was. 

Quinny 

Yeah, like there, there were lovely moments and their lovely ideas. I love the idea of the whole world pulling together to go **** we’ve got. Eight months to build something or, you know, and we’re all going to pull in this together and we’re all going to come together over something. It’s a great concept, but it just never felt like it had those that, that personal danger of what we saw in Thunderbolt and. A lot of people who are doing the, which one did you like more, Superman or or fantastic? 4. I personally thought the Superman took more risks. You know, it was weirder. It was. 

Peta 

Well, it was more. It was more current in in its messaging and the. The risks that it. Was taking in that messaging as well, and I think also you kind of. 

Dion 

Hmm. 

Peta 

This is a bit of an imbalance, I suppose in the rate that one escalates because you can kind of attempt to escalate the stakes to the highest possible point and the escalate them so high that the audience cannot believe. That. That jeopardy is going to come to pass in that context, which actually, which actually kind of destroys that moment, is kind of gotta be like a believable, worst case scenario that they’re facing. Not like, well, of course, they’re trying to find a way to avert that. There’s gonna be a little part of you that’s like. 

Quinny 

Hmm. 

Peta 

Ohh, they might fail, which I kind. 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Peta 

Of felt in this. 

Quinny 

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, like. 

Peta 

Otherwise, you don’t feel the jeopardy, you know, the way that you should. 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Quinny 

Yeah, and and I don’t know, I feel like something like Superman has has more of a an alter kind of vision behind it. Like, you know, that felt like James Gunn saying something and his whole thing about found family and his whole thing about being outsiders and, you know, he. He has a particular thumbprint that is all over that. This one I couldn’t tell you. A thumbprint it was. 

Peta 

Which is funny because it is tonally and structurally much more consistent. 

Quinny 

Absolutely. 

Jill 

Yeah, it’s a. Package. Yeah, it has an aesthetic and it, you know, executes that, but yeah. 

Quinny 

Yeah. And and like. 

Jill 

There’s there’s special sauce. 

Quinny 

Yeah. And and I don’t. Know what it is because. I was wanting to get excited. I was super wanting to get excited and it just never quite hit me. And even when big things happened, I was like. 

Jill 

Karina made a good point that she thought we were going to see them fail. Based on what we saw in the post credit scene of Thunderbolts and I want to make a point where I kind of wish that that scene never existed because it coloured my expectations. 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Jill 

This film I was going in. 

Quinny 

Yes, I’m. 

Peta 

I forget what that scene. 

Jill 

Was ohh that’s actually it was it was there. There was like ohh we can. We’re picking up something on our radar and then they zoom into space and they see the Fantastic Four ships flying through space and that bit. Yeah. Yeah. So I had a different expectation of what I was expecting in this film. And so I’m like. 

Speaker 6 

It’s just. 

Dion 

Just a a rocket ship in the sky. Kind of, or if it is, we don’t know. 

Jill 

Just on the edge of my seat the whole time, thinking. Well, how are they gonna get to our earth? When are we gonna see that? When are we gonna see that? And. And I’m like, so I wasn’t in the moment with everything else that was happening because I was anticipating something else to. 

Quinny 

Yeah. Yeah. And and maybe that’s that, that other cog that. 

Speaker 

Happen. 

Quinny 

I was expecting. Maybe that’s the the the next thing up is that you know, they do like, fail or they do something that that then took it to a different level. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Jill 

That causes them to and then this is how we get to this moment. But like now that we’re not going to have The Avengers doomsday film until another 18 months. 

Quinny 

Jill 

I’m like, wow, how are they going to get our butts in the seats for that one? 

Quinny 

Yeah. 

Jill 

Because after watching this movie, I’m like. Ah, I don’t really know where we’re going. 

Quinny 

Neller. 

Peta 

At the end, do you feel safe now with your opinion to share? 

Dion 

I mean, my opinion is based on Fantastic Four and how I enjoyed this movie or didn’t. 

Quinny 

Which is a really difficult thing to do to to take the movie entirely on its own. Yeah, been its own value and. 

Speaker 2 

What? 

Quinny 

So aside from my expectation, aside from the other movie I watched a week and a half before, yeah, aside from. 

Dion 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

All of that, yeah. 

Dion 

Look there. This is the thing. Like I I really like to to throw this through. I really enjoyed Thunderbolts because it broke expectations that I had. I was there for it to say, what are you gonna do with this? And I was. Like wow, that is a great movie. I had certain expectations about Superman or I was wondering what was going to go, and I felt it wasn’t as good as I thought. It’s going. And I went to Fantastic Four. Saying how is this going to go? And I thought, yeah, I had a little bit of the same thing the the ending. Thing towards the end and some of the reasoning and stuff I was a bit like oh, this doesn’t make sense and I don’t understand where it does or doesn’t fit and I feel like they’re going to have to for some reason do another one in that universe for some reason. And I’m just a bit confused. I feel like it just kind of didn’t. You’re right, had that. Where’s that gear? Where’s the gear? Range. Where does it go up? Where do the stakes get bigger? Where does it become really important? But really I liked it because it. Was you can see across the entire movie from start to finish. It was a love letter to the time of the original Fantastic Four. Like all of the Kirby, all of the weird stories are just written into it. So it is made with a lot of reverence and a lot of love. And I really liked that because there was good messaging that was in there. 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Dion 

The execution or some of the reasoning is just I don’t know how this fits. In the rest, like I love that it’s an outsider film, but I also don’t then. But what’s are we are we going to follow these people? Is that the point or is it just having a second one? Like I don’t. Know like it’s another Fantastic Four is like. 

Quinny 

Yeah. 

Dion 

Will we see him? 

Jill 

Yeah. Are we making this movie just to make a sequel? Just so we can make? Money. 

Quinny 

Yeah. Well, or are we making this one just because we needed to have a really good bad guy for the MCU. We’ve already announced who that bad guy. So we really had to have this film before doomsday could happen. 

Jill 

Yeah. There’s a lot of very upset people in. Our screening at the end of this movie. 

Quinny 

Yeah, yeah, there was. 

Dion 

Yeah, Speaking of bad guys, how do we feel about the villain aspects of this one? 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Jill 

I was curious to how I would ever see Galactus executed on film, and I think it. Up to a point, it was well done. 

Dion 

Is it? Is it better than the giant cloud? 

Speaker 6 

Ohh yeah, we don’t need. 

Dion 

So the. 

Jill 

Some amorphous cloud like I want to see an actual Galactus and like how? 

Dion 

So. 

Jill 

Do you do? That I mean, especially after we had the Eternals where, you know, we have things God like beings in space, it’s like, OK, well now how do we make a Galactus? 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Jill 

That was really cool, but then there was a moment where I thought it was. Not cool. Maybe I’ll talk about that in sport. 

Dion 

How? How did you feel about Charlotte Owl? 

Jill 

I thought it was sick. I’m like, yeah, let’s go back to the original Silver Surfer. Yeah. People will be surprised to know the original Silver Surfer was not a dude. 

Quinny 

Jill 

I think the original Silver Surfer was a woman, and then it was her lover that begged Galactus to trade places with her. 

Quinny 

Yeah, yeah. Entry. 

Dion 

Interesting, yeah. 

Jill 

And disappointed we didn’t get the what if Aunt May was the Herald for Galactus and we didn’t get the golden oldie. 

Dion 

What are you talking about? Marisa? To me, isn’t that old? 

Quinny 

I I think. 

Speaker 3 

No. 

Quinny 

I think there were there were sequences in there watching the the Silver Surfer surfing through. 

Speaker 

Ohh. 

Quinny 

Like Kirby Crackle, ******* cosmic power surfing through black holes where I was like, **** yeah, this is cool. You know, surfing around curving laser beams and ****. I was like. 

Dion 

Well, grab. Yeah. 

Speaker 3 

Yes. 

Dion 

******* hell yeah, that’s that’s the weird success stuff. That was the bitter. 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Dion 

Was like, oh, this is great. Like, how do you put the Silver Surfer in? Why does it doesn’t even make sense. And it’s like, yeah, it does. If you lean into that. Crazy kind of 60s vibe that it originally was about. It’s like, yeah, I’m just gonna surf, like, through cosmic waves, man, it’s. Like. Cool. That’s fun. Yeah, it helps if you take LSD. 

Quinny 

Hmm. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Dion 

You know. 

Quinny 

Like there was something so ******* cool with all of that visual stuff. Yeah, that up until now, we’ve never really gotten because the only other time we’re seeing the Silver Surfer, he was on Earth, so it didn’t have that real cosmic kind of. 

Dion 

Maybe. He was the T1000 man. 

Jill 

Thing, yeah. 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Dion 

He just kind. Of morphed around as needed for the plot. 

Quinny 

Your thoughts on on the Silver Surfer? 

Peta 

Neutral. Cool. I I don’t have a lot of feelings about the Silver Surfer as a character, but I thought she was. I thought it it was cool execution. 

Dion 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

Hmm. Yeah, look cool. And I like the the human eyes too. I thought that was kind of cool. Yeah, cause you I feel like you still need something to latch onto for a motion, yeah. 

Speaker 

Mm-hmm. 

Quinny 

I thought that was smart. 

Speaker 

And. Look, there’s look. 

Dion 

There’s lots of fun stuff in there. Standouts for me. I I I need to say I really annoyed that they didn’t rename it the fantastic six because to be honest, there are 6 characters in this movie. By the end of it, you’re watching it like there’s not just four, there’s more. Who you’re following through with, which was a bit of a surprise because I was like, OK, right. You’re just going to lean very heavily into the entire thing. Sure. I really. Kirby, I love that they went into galactic space because that’s kind of that’s that kind of that’s really fun. Like Reed Richards is that kind of character who, you know, is your prototypical 50s, you know, American Americanized painting, you know, of, like, it’s a pipe and slippers and, you know. Dad’s home. 

Jill 

Yeah. The Norman Rockwell. Yes. Please looking forward. 

Dion 

Yeah, absolutely. 100% The Rockwell and it it. But presented in that very conservative way, but he’s not a conservative. Like you know, it’s kind of like I’m just going to learn how to fold matter and bend this, and then we’re going to space. All right, everyone, safety third. Let’s go. That’s kind of Reed riches. Like he built a thing called the Ultimate Nullifier. And it kills anything in the known Marvel Universe. And then he’s just like ohh someone. 

Quinny 

He’s. 

Dion 

Like. 

Speaker 

Like. 

Dion 

******** Reed, you know like. 

Quinny 

One thing you you said to me afterwards too. 

Jill 

Yeah, I mean. He just casually solved teleportation in this. 

Dion 

Yeah, yeah. 

Jill 

Film or whatever. 

Quinny 

Whatever. Whatever one thing you said to me too, and I agreed like they’ve always struggled to get Reed Richards powers looking good on screen. Like it’s very hard to do stretchy guy without it looking dumb, but one of the things that is kind of sad is that in the. 

Dion 

Yes. 

Quinny 

The comics and everything. Quite often you’ll see him, and that stretchiness of his body is a. Is. A all about echoing who he’s mentally. Yeah. So his arms are over here. You know, riding on the blackboard and his other arms over here, smoking a pipe and his head is, you know, stretched out over here, looking at the, you know, out the window or something like that. And there wasn’t much of that. It was very much like, this is traditionally handsome Pedro. 

Peta 

Yeah. 

Jill 

It’s it’s tiny. Yeah, it’s a tiny bit like he was doing. A little bit of the blackboard. Stuff and the catching things, but. 

Speaker 6 

Yeah, I don’t. 

Jill 

I don’t think we really got to see him actually use his powers much in the film as a whole. 

Quinny 

Nope. Nope. 

Dion 

It’s very, very expensive to animate Pedro Pascal. 

Peta 

It’s it’s a dump power. 

Speaker 3 

Pete. Pete, in there, it’s true. 

Jill 

I mean, it might be a time you. Would change your mind. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Speaker 3 

Blubbering time, no. 

Quinny 

Should we rate it because we are, we’re going on a. 

Peta 

Yes, yes. 

Quinny 

Long time. Ohh good. 

Jill 

Oh my goodness. I don’t know. I’m gonna pick a number. 

Dion 

How many tips off Jim? 

Speaker 6 

Yeah, the tip scale. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 

Jill 

Yeah. The two tip film, but. 

Quinny 

I mean, I’m gonna. I will change the rating system if I have to, but it’s gonna really. 

Dion 

I had some I had some issues with it, but I did enjoy. I had a fun time. I’m gonna give it a 75. No 70. I’m gonna go 70. Sorry. I’m. I’m back down a little bit mainly because I really loved. 

Quinny 

On the website. 

Dion 

The scenic I love the the the characters together. They didn’t quite mesh as much and I felt like some of them were lost like I think Ben Grimm’s the thing. 

Speaker 6 

Hmm. 

Dion 

Totally kind of lost in the hole as much to do. No, I I didn’t get enough of that thing because one of the most important things I know about Ben Grimace, he’s the real heart of the team. And while that was great, like I loved, you know, uncles, you’ve got uncles going on there. I loved it. You know, Johnny and and Ben are totally down for, you know, being uncles. I just thought he got a little bit lost and I have big issues with some of the purple headed warrior of the lactose, which I’ll talk about in spoilers, but yeah, overall fun time. Not a long time. 

Quinny 

Fair enough, Pete. Number. 

Peta 

I’m going to say I’m going to say I’m going to say 76 because I do think that it was. Really well put together but. The the I mean I’ll have some stuff to say when we spoil some things. Yeah, I’ll try to keep it brief. Actually, there was one point I think I said to you guys that I’d nearly walked out of there with more tips. Than I started with. 

Quinny 

I’m still wanting to know how that works. 

Peta 

Luckily, luckily I I didn’t have to go full rage out on it. 

Quinny 

So I’m very impressed. 

Peta 

Umm. But yeah, it’s just those kinds of like those those plot points that that just didn’t quite work for me were just a little bit kind of too conveniently driving the plot. And I didn’t quite buy even in the world of the story, that really kind of helped me back from from. Losing any tips at all? 

Quinny 

Peta 

Ohh, also the young Kelly’s Uncanny Valley baby was distressed. 

Quinny 

Though apparently that they had a live baby on set 99% of the time. 

Peta 

In some shots, I was gonna say you, but you can tell the. Shots that aren’t, yeah. 

Dion 

Yeah, yeah. Babies don’t look like babies on screen. You gotta pay. They yeah. 

Peta 

I mean, either it was a fully uncanny valley baby or they were doing something to kind of make the baby look like it was looking, but there was something. Yeah. And whenever whenever Ben Grimm’s holding the baby, it’s like. That ain’t no real. 

Jill 

Baby, what number did you give it, Pete, 7676. 

Dion 

Yeah, we all know. 

Quinny 

And Dion, still at 70, isn’t. 

Dion 

He. Yes, I’m still there. 

Quinny 

Yeah, Dan, how many tips have you got left by? 

Dion 

The way? Yeah, just one tip. 

Quinny 

Wanted. 

Jill 

Only go off 1. 

Dion 

I only want it. Yeah, I mean, well. I mean, I don’t know. It’s moved. Maybe the **** moved like it. It’s not in the same place it started out, but it hasn’t gone completely off. It’s around the side visiting the armpit. 

Jill 

You can’t. But I gave Superman. 

Quinny 

I can probably look it up if you want. 

Jill 

Yeah. 

Peta 

See, I just kind of take it on a mood basis. It’s on a day by day basis. 

Dion 

Briefly. 

Quinny 

Hmm. 

Dion 

Phil was right. I mean, I think. One of the telling things long rated. 

Peta 

Never compare my ratings for one movie to another movie. 

Quinny 

Superman 65. 

Speaker 

Oh. 

Dion 

While while Jill is thinking, I mean it’s fair enough. Remember, she only saw it like 4 days ago and it feels like. 

Jill 

OK, here’s the weird thing though. Like after I watched Superman, I kind of wanted to see it again, but I don’t know if that was to try and enjoy it more or like to get the things that I didn’t really get about it. But this one I’m not really like in a rush to go back. To the movie for it. 

Quinny 

Hmm. 

Jill 

But. I did like it more than Superman. Then. I think I’m going to give it. 69. 

Speaker 3 

Nice. 

Dion 

Nice. 

Jill 

It was just a nice movie. 

Quinny 

Yeah, 69 and still 2 tips. 

Peta 

Yeah. 

Dion 

Quinny, what have you. 

Quinny 

Yeah. Got. I’m very similar to you know, I’m I’m probably I’m probably more in line with the pizza like. Yeah, 70. I’m going to go 77. I don’t know why. Yeah. Actually. 

Peta 

Just feels like a 77. 

Speaker 

Vibe. 

Quinny 

Like I I was a bit more warm on Superman whereas this. Like it’s it’s a perfectly fun, pleasant film. Like there’s nothing wrong with it, but it also just to me, felt like it. Was. Didn’t have much, particularly to say. Other than you know, wouldn’t it be nice if we could all work together and yeah. But also, maybe that’s what we needed at the moment is something that wasn’t too dangerous or whatever and. I don’t know. Yeah, it’s it’s 77 for me, but I just find it so. 

Dion 

Weird. We’ve, we’ve, we’ve, we’ve focused a lot on the non spoilery side and we’re running rapidly running out of time. So let’s go to the dinner clip to find out why they’re all such a nice blending together, then come back and see how much we. Can jam pack into spoil it section? 

Peta 

Leave if you haven’t seen it, because I’m going to spoil the very, very, very end of the film. 

Speaker 

Dion 

Pete is thrown down. Here you go, alright? 

Speaker 5 

What are you doing? You mean what am? I. Doing and then you’re gonna ruin your appetite. I’m hungry, but never late for Sunday dinner. Should we wait? 

Speaker 

I guess you’re late. What I what do you? 

Speaker 5 

Mean. What do you mean? What do I mean? 

Speaker 

You’re late for dinner. Ohh yes we are. We’re late for. By single minute. 

Speaker 5 

Dinner. Yes, we were just just had to. 

Speaker 

Some aloe iodine on my shoulder. We got. Do his shoulder and. 

Speaker 5 

Why is that breakfast cereal in the dinner table? Why are you being? 

Speaker 

Weird. Not not being. Acting. Weird. Well, I’m doing that weird thing with your face, so. Oh, we don’t know what you’re talking about. 

Speaker 5 

Are you pregnant? 

Speaker 

Jimmy at the pregnant. 

Speaker 5 

Yes, yes. 

Speaker 

You know, I know he just cannot. 

Speaker 1 

That have you looked at your husband’s face? 

Speaker 

Keep his secret. 

Speaker 5 

What, really, yeah. 

Speaker 2 

What you are going to be the best mom? Oh, my God. 

Speaker 

And you are going. To be the best dad. Just kidding. You are out of your depth, but we. We’re going to be the best uncles ever. OK, we should eat. 

Dion 

Oh, there you go. Yes, that is exactly the kind of thing that we loved about the film. It’s really nice. Spoiler logos up, Pete. Destroy away. Oh, wait. Sorry. She has been there at the beginning. She will be there at the end. We here. Peter. 

Quinny 

ETA. 

Peta 

It’s not even my biggest complaint. It’s just that there was a moment at the end where I was like, I am going to have to have another full on rant about killing off female characters via self sacrifice and doing it to two female characters in one scene. UM. 

Quinny 

Thank God. 

Peta 

They recovered. They did recover. They recovered from it a bit and it didn’t really feel like it wasn’t going to recover. But for a moment there I was like, oh, oh, we are going to throw down. 

Jill 

I don’t believe you didn’t realise the magic baby was gonna save the day. 

Speaker 3 

Sacrifice. 

Peta 

I did. It did, but there was a part of me that was kind of like you better ******* not. 

Dion 

Yeah, yeah, there was a little bit of that was it? It’s like, don’t you ******* dare? Jesus Christ, he’s not a. Defibrillator. He’s a baby. 

Jill 

I mean, you don’t have a. Magic mcguffin. The whole time and then not? Yeah. 

Speaker 3 

Yeah. 

Dion 

True, although, but as as we all. 

Peta 

My biggest my my bigger complaints. 

Dion 

Know Franklin Richards. The monster. 

Peta 

My bigger complaints were were the iffy plot points like I’m like, correct me. I’m not a linguist, but I’m pretty sure you cannot translate an entire language with three words like I don’t. I don’t know that that’s possible. The Rosetta Stone had more than than than 3 words. 

Speaker 3 

Yeah. Hmm. 

Dion 

Now. 

Peta 

I I don’t see how I don’t see how. 

Dion 

Important to understand that this is in the Universe 8 to 8 where things can exist a little differently and they are not this bog standard and it was one of those. 

Peta 

Oh. 

Speaker 6 

But it’s it’s. 

Jill 

Things are like super. 

Peta 

It’s not the kind of plot point that you can explain away in your brain with that kind of reasoning like it’s not, but. 

Dion 

It has to be because that’s why I was. I was ******** about it and I yelled at Quinney until it came up to the thing. It’s like, but it’s not the real Galactus. And I’m like. Oh yeah, **** everything in this movie is not the real one from our universe. What? I’m getting angry at can easily be retconned by an executive who doesn’t like the feedback form. 

Speaker 

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. 

Jill 

But this is also a universe where Reed is a super genius that can solve teleportation and like, move a planet. That’s. 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Peta 

It just like the jump between ohh, I’ve managed to do it to an egg. 

Jill 

Come on. 

Peta 

Let’s do it to a planet. Nothing will go wrong. I actually, I almost thought that, like, that’s where it was gonna get interesting. Like, that was gonna be this universe is snap moment when they, like, accidentally. Left half the people behind or something. 

Quinny 

That that’s what I that’s. What I was kinda hoping for like. 

Jill 

Yeah, there weren’t really many stakes. 

Quinny 

No, I ******* love the idea of them actually going *******. We’re gonna teleport the whole planet and. 

Dion 

And ******* it. 

Quinny 

Up what? Could something goes wrong like they they go to the wrong place or they find themselves in the ******* negative zone. 

Jill 

Like that ******* DC convergence where the two planets had to merge together. 

Peta 

Or and that’s the thing. 

Dion 

They do. How did they do faster than life travel, but. Not work out how radar. Exists stop the fact that Silver Surfer was coming to blow up all of their teleportation machines that that shaped. 

Quinny 

Me. She’s very fast. 

Peta 

And in your hand it just kind of looked like a regular size spaceship. I don’t know why they couldn’t have just muted it or something like it’s like felt like a lot of like ohh The thing is coming very slowly. This is the only thing we can think of. 

Dion 

That was my big ***** point that I will get my big boy britches on and have a whinge about. Galactus’s ******* world eating ship is just a giant space grinder and. And I didn’t like that because if you’re gonna go to, like the extent that they went to, which was really curvy, whole super 60s kind of thing. 

Speaker 

Right. 

Dion 

Make the spaceship ******* weird. Make it the giant machines that don’t. You don’t understand the purpose of what they do like. Have something that’s in there. 

Speaker 3 

Hmm. 

Jill 

Yeah. What happened to like the? Big straw that he just shoves in the. Planet and like sucks it up like. 

Dion 

Yeah, all of that. But I mean, just like have the weird like, Kirby was great for drawing like. Contraptions that you love on the contraption, and they don’t. You don’t know why or how they work, or they have like extra bits that go off and they crackle with energy that you don’t understand how it sort of goes. He didn’t care about making it look well built. He cared about making something cool and stupid. And then they put Galactus. Fair enough, looked pretty good, you know, for a big. 

Quinny 

I look I. Liked big man collectors. I was down. 

Jill 

For that, yeah. I didn’t like how his. Height fluctuated with convenience. 

Peta 

Say he wasn’t that big in the end. Though was he he? He looked. 

Jill 

The lost, yeah. 

Dion 

A bit of juice out the back of the tube and then he got a bit. 

Quinny 

Maybe. 

Speaker 6 

So then he went and shrunk a bit. 

Dion 

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 

Quinny 

OK, let’s go with that, yeah. 

Jill 

He’s like ohh, now he can fit in this big circle on the ground that he like, would have Godzilla crushed the moment ago. 

Dion 

Crush. Sure. 

Peta 

Confused if planet size or if Godzilla size. 

Dion 

Yeah. Also how would sue push if 2? 

Quinny 

Because her push is not based on size, it’s based on willpower. 

Dion 

No, but push, baby. Ohh no. OK, recover. Push, galactus. Big baby. Oh, no much. 

Peta 

Is is based on magic mummy power? 

Quinny 

Yeah, yes, yeah. Like that. That big kind of finale stuff. I was like when he started to climb back out. I was like, ohh. OK now. 

Dion 

No. Well. 

Quinny 

We’re gonna get some shoes. 

Jill 

Yeah, I was like. Oh ****, I jumped. 

Quinny 

Yeah. Yeah. I was like, ******* sweet. Great. OK, now we’re gonna really ******* now, now we’re gonna wrap it up, but Nope. That’s just that’s it. Cool. Everybody get home. I would love to have seen them do something real. ******* ballsy. I would have loved to have seen them lose the earth, you know? Yeah. So that that’s why this Fantastic Four, like instead of. Yeah, that’s the run like this. 

Jill 

On the run on the. Sleeper on. 

Peta 

I’m not sure that Marvel is doing its answer to the trolley problem properly. 

Quinny 

Why not teleport the ******* baby and the family to another end of the universe, or to a different ******* dimension or whatever? 

Jill 

Because they answered that in the slack with pocket holes does. 

Speaker 

Yeah. Yes. 

Dion 

I mean. I look I I I I really got that like I enjoyed the bit where they were like, no, this is it honestly. Like we we we may be the people that everyone looks up to on the Earth and that’s a bit problematic to put that much. Responsibility. On four people who were there, but at least they always did it with heart, honesty, integrity and overall admission of failure. To the world. 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Dion 

Like it felt weird. Like they they come back and they’re like, oh, it’s time for press conference and like, but wait for press conference. Why? Why but why press conference? Oh, because wait, we are the family. We’re literally the only family in the world. Everyone looks to. Us for answers. You know, yeah, maybe he’s like, that’s the thing. He’s planet daddy. ****. He’s 2 daddies. 

Speaker 3 

Yeah. 

Peta 

Yeah, he’s. 

Dion 

In this one. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Peta 

Said what the like ultimatum was like. You’d think that he would have kind of maybe wanted to not tell. Everyone that. 

Speaker 3 

Yes, yes. 

Peta 

But he was like, Nah. This is this is what happened. We’re back. Ohh no, you’re mad at. 

Dion 

And have baby. 

Peta 

Us why? 

Quinny 

Yeah, actually I did. I loved it. There was a moment, and it was that was like this thing. Oh, they really like the speech that Sue gave about the baby. I actually really loved the bit just a bit before that where, you know, the the emotional beat where Sue knows that Reed has decided that the only way to get out of this. 

Dion 

Would you be mad at us? 

Quinny 

Is by putting their child as bait. Like, yeah, that moment I was like, ohh, that’s that’s ******* hard because she knows Reed has thought about everything and has thought of the worst possible outcome and that that’s. 

Jill 

Yeah, he’s a catastrophize or. But like, that’s how he solves problems. Yeah. 

Speaker 3 

Yeah. 

Dion 

Yeah. And also don’t forget that Reed Richards in the expanded universe is. Quite possibly the. The the Marvel Universe’s worst supervillain. Yeah. When he goes bad, he goes real bad, cause he’s just kind of like cool. So there’s this outcome. We’re gonna do that anyway. Gotta go over here. 

Quinny 

Sometime. 

Dion 

And murder a few folk. 

Jill 

So many years ago, Cheese TV posed the question who would win in a fight, Superman or Apocalypse now? Karina has posed the question. Who would win Godzilla? Or galactus? Godzilla? 

Dion 

Ohh 100%. 

Peta 

I mean like just doesn’t have like laser. 

Dion 

100%. 

Quinny 

No, no. Or or amazing ******* like radioactive breath but. 

Peta 

Quinny 

I get the impression that go like this. 

Peta 

Giant Sky laser what? And they tried that before they tried teleporting. Teleporting the entire. 

Dion 

Skybeam. No. Like they didn’t describe. And that was quite great. And they didn’t have bismuth like, but they still had a whole of no return, so you know. 

Quinny 

They didn’t do your sky beam. Do you mean? My calls fine. 

Dion 

Just a hole like I mean also I need to caveat that like which Godzilla and which. Practice, because if it’s like, yeah, if it’s 98, Godzilla and Cloud Galactus, money’s on Galactus. 

Quinny 

1998 Godzilla. 

Jill 

Yeah, galactus. Definitely over 98 Godzilla. 

Quinny 

Yeah. Yeah. Also, where was like. 

Peta 

The other end of this teleporting plan. 

Dion 

Ohh, as far as the far reaches. 

Speaker 3 

Yeah. 

Jill 

Ohh just like. 

Dion 

Of the universe. 

Peta 

Yeah, yeah. But but when he teleported the eggs he had like. 

Speaker 2 

Woop woop. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

Another ohh yeah. 

Peta 

A bridge and B bridge for. The egg to go to. 

Dion 

It’ll be like it’ll be like. 

Speaker 

Hi. 

Dion 

Teleporting it to Wodonga. Just far away. 

Quinny 

Yeah. Teleport to random place. We don’t know where. 

Peta 

That also distracted me. Like like, don’t you need another end to this teleport, right? 

Quinny 

The thing that would have been and and I kind of like that idea now because one of the things that the Fantastic Four do quite regularly interact with in the comics and everything is it’s not called the negative zone, it’s the. 

Jill 

Negative sign. It’s not the phantom zone. 

Quinny 

Yeah, it’s like the Phantom zone, but it’s it’s negative zone, and it’s kind of there’s a there’s a big bad guy called a nihilist that comes from there and stuff. And essentially it’s like the under of it’s it’s it’s the upside down. 

Jill 

It’s where they throw all the space junk. 

Quinny 

Where they throw all the space Chuck and I love the idea of them going. It would have been ******* great for them. To, you know, transport the planet and accidentally plonk it in the upside down. And yeah, you know, something like that. Something real ******* weird. Something real. 

Jill 

Yeah. 

Speaker 1 

I feel. 

Dion 

Crazy. I love that we were expecting. 

Jill 

And if they had done that before the third act, then how do you come back from that like, that would have been more interesting. 

Dion 

Hmm yeah. 

Peta 

Yeah, I also love that there was no further testing on larger objects. 

Quinny 

Back and then Galactus is still waiting. 

Peta 

Like we can do it to an egg, yeah. 

Speaker 2 

Let’s do it. This is where. 

Jill 

It’s basically the same thing, OK. 

Peta 

You wanna try to plan that planet? Yeah. 

Speaker 

Right. 

Dion 

Read what should we do? We should run away. It should run. 

Speaker 

It’s. 

Dion 

We’re gonna move the planet now. I love that. Also, I love that the the. Entire Earth just went yay. We’re going to do this still the OK, we’ll do that. 

Jill 

No, like, OK, you’re the smartest guy we. Trust you, go for it. 

Quinny 

I love that they also like so where? Where are you going to transport us? Doesn’t matter. Yeah. So like and also you kind of get. 

Jill 

Yeah. Does it orbit like a sun where we can, like, sustain life? 

Speaker 3 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

Yeah, we are. You just gonna dump us in the middle of black space and we’re all just gonna die? 

Jill 

But you did say it was gonna go to another solar system that was similar, but like how? 

Peta 

So if you could. Nearest. Yeah. 

Jill 

Did you find it? How did you know? 

Peta 

That yeah, that. But also. Do you know what dangers? 

Jill 

It and then you kind of disrupt that solar systems like orbital and gravity thing like that’s why solar systems work because they’re already set. 

Peta 

Are in that solar system. 

Speaker 

MHM. 

Quinny 

Also. 

Peta 

Yeah. Casper was like, yeah, he did say within 2% of the Goldilocks zone, but like within 2%. 

Jill 

Just popping into one. 

Dion 

2% is a massive. 

Quinny 

Yeah, that’s a ******* massive function. You know, considering everybody on the planet, millions of. Times. Wait, wait. 

Dion 

Wait, yeah, considering, what was it? Climate change needed to raise 2°. There’s your degrees and your percentage a little bit, which is like there’s some problems going on. 

Speaker 3 

Yes. 

Quinny 

Other things to think about in this universe, there are very definitely alien species like schellebelle and everything, but also you kind of get the impression that these Fantastic Four have probably run into those alien species already. They’re tootling around at faster than light. They’re not concerned by the idea that there is an alien out there like they’re like, Oh yeah, it’s just an alien. We’ll go and see what it is. Oh, it’s. 

Dion 

A big ******* alien. Yeah. Our first reaction. We should go visit that. 

Jill 

Yeah, they’re total ******* space Cowboys. They’re just. 

Quinny 

Exactly. 

Jill 

Like, yeah, whatever. 

Quinny 

So I love the idea that they’re just like, oh, we’ll move the planet and then going, oh, ****, I wonder who our new neighbors are going to. 

Dion 

Be ohh OK but still, you know can’t. 

Jill 

Cross that bridge when you get to it. 

Dion 

Can’t work out a car seat cause bumbling then. 

Quinny 

That that sequence when like we get it. 

Speaker 6 

Oh my God. 

Jill 

Yeah, 3 ******* scientists. 

Dion 

Yeah. Yeah. Well, look, you know, fridge, fridge, the only woman who is The Who has the better power of everyone because she can convince people to work together like her superpower is an invisibility. 

Quinny 

Get it? It’s funny, but. 

Dion 

It’s, you know, able to keep, like compassion is. It’s like a superpower and then, you know, Necromancer child, that’s scary as ****. And then idiot men who just don’t seem to be able to do what they should be doing. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Dion 

You know, actually, I think the real superhero is their secretary, who just has to deal with all the **** that they do and still keep them on track when they get back from their adventures so that they can give a press conference. 

Quinny 

Yeah, she was great. This this had sort of fly me to the moon vibes actually. Ohh yeah, you know. 

Dion 

Amazing. Yeah. Are you saying that they faked the Galactus attack? 

Quinny 

Would. Explain why, like you know, he looked like a. 

Speaker 3 

Dude in a suit. 

Dion 

Ohh dearie me. Look any anything else that that annoyed annoyed you about this Fantastic Four? It’s. Look, I feel it’s way better than the other three that attempts crack at it. Like, you know, if it’s unfair. 

Quinny 

Yeah. 

Dion 

To to hate, right? 

Quinny 

I mean. 

Peta 

Too. I also think that we’re all a little bit burnt out and just sad about life. It’s hard to get the same enjoyment out of things. 

Speaker 

Hmm. 

Peta 

That we used to. 

Dion 

Yeah, it’s true. Like it, honestly, like I’m. I’m down with it like. 

Peta 

It’s not a bad movie, it’s a it’s a good it’s. A good film? Not. 

Jill 

Yeah. No, it’s just, it’s just not wow. 

Peta 

You know, observe. Attached. 

Dion 

It’s not bad as it acts. 

Peta 

Systems. 

Dion 

That way. 

Quinny 

Yeah. See, I I never. No. I thought it was actually great. I actually do want to go back and rewatch those. Those 2005 Fantastic Four films, though. 

Jill 

Bad. 

Speaker 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

Because I do vaguely remember them being kind of fun. 

Dion 

Yeah, why not. Wait, can you could watch it because Ian Griffin sticks his hand out, and then someone very definitely with the Photoshop morph tool just pulls me on to screen. And you’re like, wait, that’s just that’s just distorting. Oh, right. OK. 

Jill 

Yeah, they were. They’re so stupid. They right? 

Dion 

You’ve just got. 

Jill 

I did find myself reciting quotes as the movie was playing. It’s. 

Speaker 6 

It’s good. 

Dion 

Yeah. 

Quinny 

Sure. 

Dion 

Yeah. Anyway, well, that’s good. Thanks everyone for sticking around for the slightly extended Mr. Fantastic podcast. It’s it’s just we we extended to fill the hole that was needed. 

Quinny 

Yeah, I I do want to say this week I also watched something that I wasn’t expecting to watch, but was pleasantly and weirdly surprised by. 

Dion 

Buck. 

Quinny 

Happy Gilmore 2 ohh ****. 

Peta 

Ohh. 

Quinny 

Yeah. Yeah. It’s out on Netflix. It came out with very little fanfare and. 

Dion 

Did you love it? Was it wonderful? And did you feel every single nostalgic piece, or was it just like, Oh my God, another? Adam Sandler film Yes to both. Cool. 

Quinny 

I would. I was pleasantly entertained by how completely 90s, you know, ******** comedy. It was, you know, if you enjoyed the first ******* fantastic, you enjoyed the first Happy Gilmore, you’ll probably get quite a lot of enjoyment out of happy. Anymore too, because it is. Nowhere near as **** as I was expecting. There you go. There’s there’s. There’s my. 

Dion 

Review not as bad as thought. 

Quinny 

Yeah, fun, laughed multiple. 

Dion 

Times you know that that was a movie dying for a sequel. 

Jill 

Well, I mean, do we need to go on? 

Quinny 

Yeah. 

Jill 

About how Hollywood is. Playing it safe and only making sequels. 

Dion 

Yeah, look, Speaking of sequels, next month we have lots of sequel artists coming out. We have the naked gun continuation 44 and 1/4. 

Speaker 6 

No. 

Jill 

Is it a sequel or? 

Dion 

Nobody 2. Do you remember nobody? That was a pretty fun one. 

Quinny 

I like nobody. Nobody was fun. 

Dion 

Yeah. Who else have we? What else? Have we got coming up? 

Peta 

I know what you did summer 2 decades ago. 

Jill 

Ohh yeah. 

Dion 

Yeah. What happened last summer? You’d you’d. Yeah. 

Quinny 

Just remember what happened. 

Jill

Quinny 

Yeah, yeah. Let alone last summer.

No, 100% down for that. I still have a few things I’ve got to catch up on. I haven’t seen. I still didn’t see the old. Guard 2 yet. 

Quinny 

Nope. Me either. 

Jill

Dion 

So I wonder if it would. OK. 

Jill

Dion 

That was short. 

Jill 

Stan, if anyone wants to watch it.

I want to look out my window, see him flying and swing faster, horizon staring out of face and talk a lot and have them teach me ways to exercise. Dear I’m, I’m so proud.
