Pixar films including Toy Story, Monsters Inc., and Finding Nemo,
had been smash hits. But could this success that worked on toys,
fish, bugs, and beasts, work for a movie starring a roster of human
characters? That was the risk they took with The Incredibles --
Pixar's first superhero film. The gamble worked and Pixar had
another hit, but how does this film hold up more than 10 years
later? Join Stuart, Arnie, and Jakob to find out!

An undercover police officer infiltrates a group of thieves, but
can he resist the lure of the subculture and do his duty? No, we're
not talking the Keanu Reeves/Patrick Swayze film Point Break--we're
reviewing the 2001 car racing film The Fast and The Furious.
Starring Vin Diesel, fresh off the success of Pitch Black, the film
raced to box office success and launched a billion-dollar
franchise. But is there more to this film than fast cars and
attractive women? Join Stuart, Arnie, and Jakob to find out!

The first Fantastic Four film was never released. The second time,
the film was released to modest box office and poor reviews. But
now Marvel's first family is back, and they've brought friends--fan
favorite The Silver Surfer and his master, the world-eater
Galactus. With these new characters and a retelling of one of the
Fantastic Four's most beloved storylines, is the third time a charm
for the Four, or do we have to wait longer for a Fantastic comic
adaptation of Thing, Human Torch, Invisible Woman, and Mr.
Fantastic? Listen to Arnie, Stuart, and Jakob as we finish our
Fantastic Four retrospective series to find out!

After over 20 years of trying, the Fantastic Four have finally
arrived on the big screen in this big budget blockbuster! Made by
20th Century Fox, they obviously hoped to have a franchise to
alternate between X-Men films, and what better than another team of
super powered beings from the Marvel universe fighting against
their arch-nemesis Dr. Doom. But with $100 million budget, does
this film finally reach their target audiences, or does it flame
out? Listen to find out!

Before Spider-Man, X-Men, or the Incredible Hulk were ever
imagined, the Marvel Universe we know today began with Stan Lee and
Jack Kirby's first issue of The Fantastic Four, a superhero team
made up of the elastic Mister Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The
Human Torch, and The Thing. Marvel's First Family were a new type
of superhero that had personal problems as well as super-villains
to fight. In print, the comic was an instant hit, but in theaters,
the Fantastic Four have a less-than-fantastic cinematic history.
Now join Stuart, Arnie, and Jakob as they continue their look at
all the Marvel Comics movie adaptations with all three Fantastic
Four feature films.
