There have been three Fantastic Four films from 20th Century Fox, and an unreleased , but infamous, film by Roger Corman. A couple of these films were...OK, maybe even good, but never the sort of cosmic-level, grand adventure that Marvel fans hoped for. With the arrival of the MCU, there has been anticipation of a FF film for years, but Fox had the rights, up until a short while ago. Now, Marvel/Disney has been able to make their own Fantastic Four film. Fans wondered, would it measure up to expectations?
Well, your Planet 8 crew says...yes! We all enjoyed this new film. Despite some reservations regarding the cast, we all found this to be a very well made and entertaining movie, and a great addition to the MCU. In this episode, we will discuss everything about the film - so if you haven't seen it yet, beware, there be spoilers ahead!
We can say that we found the retro-futuristic setting to be perfect, and the family dynamics between the characters worked flawlessly. Galactus was impressive and actually frightening. The space adventure was exciting and emphasized that the FF are not only super-heroes but explorers. It was also refreshing to have a story that was complete, and didn't have to set up the next film, or insert a bunch of other, extraneous characters.
So if you haven't seen it yet, go out and catch it in the theater! You'll be glad you did. And then tell us what you thought.
Our Sensor Sweep is all over the place, as usual. We were celebrating Mission Commander Larry's birthday! Larry shared his Wand Tricorder, which is practically as good as the ones Spock and Bones used on Star Trek! You really need to go to our YouTube channel to see this amazing prop. Some of the other items shared include an amazing Creature from the Black Lagoon backscratcher, a full-sized Dr. Doom mask, and a guide to Television Fright Films of the 1970s.
Bob is still preparing for the Godzillafest Convention coming in September. The dealers room is filling up. They just added Ricardo Delgado, Matt Frank, Middle of Beyond, and Super 7. There's going to be a lot of guests and activities, so don't miss it! Get all the details at Godzillafest.com.
Karen is still doing her YouTube channel, Echoes from the Satellite. If you are interested in science fiction, fantasy, and horror books, give it a view.
And that's a wrap for this episode. As always, we'd love to hear from you. Please send us your thoughts about Fantastic Four. Did you like it? Hate it? Let's talk!

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
