Description

Randy and Kris assemble their own Fantastic Four to discuss Marvel’s latest entry into a whole new corner of the MCU. Joining the team are entertainment writer & Newcomers: Marvel alum, Leah Marilla Thomas and Chaos on the Set host Shruti Marathe. The team digs into their personal connections to The MCU & The Fantastic Four before highlighting their favorite moments and critiques of The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025). 

After exploring this mid-century-modern-retro-sci-fi future, the team considers whether The Fantastic Four or Superman “won” July 2025. In the “Extra Credit” section, Media/Lit provides a temporary home for Chaos on the Set’s “With/And” segment. We hope you’ll join us for a fantastic (we had to) conversation!
