In this action-packed episode Greg and Nathan welcome a stellar panel to the mic: credentialed film critic Nathan Bartlebaugh and Greg’s own superhero-loving sons, Ben Dutcher and Isaac Dutcher. Together, they dive deep into the latest entries in the superhero genre—"Superman" and "Fantastic Four: First Steps."
The crew unpacks what worked, what didn’t, and how these new films measure up to their iconic predecessors. From character development and casting to special effects and storytelling, nothing is off-limits. Bartlebaugh brings his critical expertise, while Ben and Isaac give us the passionate fan perspective, making for a lively and well-rounded discussion.
Is the new Superman a worthy heir to the cape? Does Fantastic Four: First Steps finally get Marvel’s first family right? Tune in to hear the verdict—and a few surprises along the way.
