The new trailer for Fantastic Four: First Steps has got everyone talking about the MCU again! Rob and Will weigh in on how good the trailer looks, what it makes us think about the upcoming movie, and whether we feel excited or let down! We’ll discuss what this movie needs to go to get the heart of the Marvel characters right, how important Ben Grimm is to the big picture and whether this movie is going to go down the same path as the 2015 Fantastic Four TRAVESTY!

This week we swing back to the 1970’s for a deep-dive into a forgotten corner of the Marvel Universe - the Japanese Spider-Man! It's a wild tale of how Marvel gave the character rights to a successful Japanese TV and Movie company, who proceeded to transform Spider-Man into a much more Japanese pop culture character! Time to get a motorbike, a flying car, a spaceship, tons of aliens, a giant Transformer robot, and a thirst for REVENGE! This is a Spider-Man unlike ANYTHING we’ve seen in the Marvel Comics or the MCU! And if we’re gonna chart the full history of Marvel, we’ve got to spend some time on the Japanese Spider-Man of 1978!
