A new FANTASTIC FOUR is in theaters today, and we thought it was a perfect time to dip into the archives and revisit the one from 2005. It was a simpler time, when budgets were lower, needle drops were more plentiful and the MCU was still three years away, but there's still some charm in this mid-aughts Marvel movie. Listen separately or watch along as we talk through the Tim Story-directed superhero opus starring Ioan Gruffud, Jessica Alba, Michael Chiklis and a pre-Captain America Chris Evans!

Superman has returned to the movies, so we thought it was a perfect time to revisit 2006's SUPERMAN RETURNS! The Bryan Singer-directed superhero sequel was meant to revitalize the Man of Steel's movie fortunes in the mid-aughts, but it failed to take flight, leading to nearly two decades of studio indecision. We certainly have some thoughts on this would-be-epic, from its fraught production history to its eventual evaluation, and we go through it all in this extended conversation, which you can ...
