107: ‘Fantastic Four’ Starring Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara
Fantastic Four landed with a thud at the box office and in hearts. What went wrong? Why did they make this movie? What were they thinking? We answer the first two and speculate wildly on the third. Plus, Tom remembered that Dan has a Video Recovery. It’s Reel Spoilers #107 – Fantastic Four. You’ve been […]

Marvel Announces New Marvel Now Titles, With Free “Catch Up” Digital Codes

Jean-Claude Van Damme Lobbying For Silver Surfer In Marvel Series
I feel like we should have a category called, “Yup, you read that right.” A category where all the weird stuff that comes out of Hollywood would be cataloged and placed aside from real news pieces.

“Fantastic Four” Reboot in the Works by Marvel Studios

This is now the problem with all of the Marvel properties that were sold off to other movie studios before Marvel Studios was established i.e. Spider-Man, X-Men, Fantastic Four, Blade. […]
Fall TV Preview: ABC’s “No Ordinary Family” Review
ABC’s No Ordinary Family is bound to catch a lot of comparisons to NBC’s recently demised Heroes. Why?
