This week, we’re diving headfirst into the cosmic storm, because Marvel’s Fantastic Four are finally making their way back to the big screen. Will James Gunn’s DC Superman have competition, or will Marvel’s First Family finally get the respect they deserve—or will this reboot go down faster than the Roger Corman 1994 bootleg?
We’ve seen it all: the campy 2005 version where Reed Richards was stretchier than the plot, the Silver Surfer sequel that left us surfing for the exit, and of course, the unforgettable—well, actually, very forgettable—2015 “Fant4stic” disaster that made Doom look like a cosplayer at Spirit Halloween.
To help us through this trip down cinematic memory lane, we’re lighting up the Hooten Young Ma Deuce cigar—a stick with more firepower than Johnny Storm on a Red Bull—and pairing it with Addictivo Añejo Tequila, smooth enough to make you forget that Jessica Alba was once invisible… but still somehow not invisible enough.
So grab your drink, spark your stogie, and join us as we ask the burning question: Will Marvel finally make it clobberin’ time… or is this just another stretch too far?
