#146 – Fantastic Four (2005) 🔥🧊💨🧠 Cosmic Chaos, Classic Chemistry

Marvel’s first family hits the big screen—cosmic powers, wild egos, and one unforgettable villain.

Before the MCU and long before Chris Evans suited up as Cap, he was already stealing scenes as Johnny Storm. In this episode, we revisit 2005’s Fantastic Four—a wild ride full of cosmic chaos, clashing egos, and surprisingly heartfelt moments. Eric breaks down the origin story of Marvel’s first family, from their transformation in space to their battle with a rising menace: Victor Von Doom. What still works? What totally doesn’t? And could this team return in a future Multiverse twist? It’s nostalgic, messy, and kind of iconic. Let’s go back to where the fire (and stretchy arms) started. 💥
