About this episode

Can ‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps’ revive one of superhero cinema’s most troubled franchises? Find out what Chris and Lizzie think of the film - including a theory about Pedro Pascal’s performance - and why 4 prior iterations failed to do Marvel’s first family justice.

*CORRECTIONS: The Fantastic Four premiered before many Marvel staples, including Thor, Hulk, Iron Man and more, and are synonymous with the launch of the Marvel Era in 1961.
