In this episode of SuperHero Homies, we continue our countdown to Fantastic Four: First Steps by diving into the 2005 Fantastic Four movie! As part of our ongoing Fantastic Four movie retrospective, we follow up our review of the 1994 unreleased cult classic by tackling this mid-2000s Marvel "blockbuster" featuring Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, and Michael Chiklis.

We break down the major scenes and plot points, examine the character dynamics between Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm, and talk about how the film handled Doctor Doom. From the cheesy one-liners to the special effects of the time, we take a fun, lighthearted, and sometimes brutally honest look at what worked—and what didn’t—in this early attempt to bring Marvel’s First Family to life on the big screen.

With our signature humor and in-depth comic book knowledge, this episode is perfect for fans of superhero movies, Marvel lore, and pop culture throwbacks.
