Gobbledygeek episode 242, “The Ordinary Four,” is available for listening or download right here, and on iTunes here.
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: a near-autistic supergenius, a Portishead-loving invisible girl, a man on fire, and a big ol’ pile of rocks walk into another dimension… Oh wait, you have heard this one before? You didn’t like it then, either? Huh. Hollywood has now ruined Fantastic Four three times, and Paul and AJ are on hand to detail all the ways this iteration goes wrong. What makes it worse is that it starts with Josh Trank’s good intentions to give Marvel’s first family a fresh update with a strong cast featuring Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, and Jamie Bell. Re-edits, reshoots, and one incomprehensible finale later, those good intentions have been nullified. What happened? DOOM.
Next: who knows? It’s a mystery episode.
