Now Playing Podcast Presents: The Fantastic Four Retrospective Series - Details, episodes & analysis

Podcast On! Now Playing Podcast charts the entire cinematic history of Marvel’s First Family, from the unreleased 1994 Roger Corman production to the glossy 2005 and 2007 Fox films, the grim 2015 reboot, and the long-awaited MCU relaunch with First Steps. Decades of false starts, tonal pivots, studio meddling, and reboot attempts all orbiting Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben. Arnie, Stuart, and the Now Playing Podcast crew break down every iteration of Marvel’s First Family to see which adaptations capture the spirit of Kirby and Lee and which should have been buried with Mole Man.
