  Speaker 2: Fantastic four is a story about family above all, else
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: where each member of the team is equally important, no
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: one is underserved. The movie excels when fleshing out the
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: various bonds between the four characters. Fantastic four rocks more
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: than any Marvel movie before it.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: F that's pretty well, let me finish.

  Speaker 1: Weirdness of comic books. Okay, let's see.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Many will say Fantastic four is fantastic. They'll be right
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: for several reasons. The four main cast members are excellent,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the score is memorable, the sixties retro futuristic production design
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: and visual effects are excellent. See it in imax, so
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: it's looking good. My standout is Vanessa Krbius siux Storm.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I will die for you. You are perfect.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Wow. An image does not come to mind.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: She's a pretty blund She's British. She's been in a
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: bunch of stuff that I've not seen anyway.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: Looking forward to it. Judge Dread, we're doing this again now.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Judge Dread was a.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Pretty good comic book from the seventies, and then it.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Was not such a good movie.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: It was slaughtered by Sylvester Stallone because the whole conceit
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: of Judge Dread as he never takes his helmet off.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: But you can't have Sylvester Stallone exactly and people who
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: want to see my face.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: But then the Judge Dread movie with Carl Urban came along,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: and that was good. That one was closer to the
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: comic book than anything, and he didn't take his helmet off. Well,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: they wanted they want to try it again, and so
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: they've got Taika Waiti as Judge Dredd no to to
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: to direct. He is he's going to direct it. Drew Pierce.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: He and Drew Pierce are friends. Apparently they've been looking
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: for something that they could work on together. Okay, Drew
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Pearce did Fall Guy, Mission Impossible, Roade Nation, and uh yeah,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: he's gonna He's gonna direct it. They want to make
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: a whole Judge Dread universe type thing, because there are
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: many many characters in the Judge Dread universe. But I
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: will say that this probably won't happen that well. I'll
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: just add it to the list of other projects that
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Taika wa Titi is working on. His Star Wars movie,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: his Flash Gordon movie, his Akira movie is actually working
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: on those, his Werewolves TV series, his Netflix series about
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Roald Doll.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: What does just tell us about? Yeah?
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he can't seem to focus on one thing. Anyway,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: So if it happens, it I don't think it's what
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: will probably happen. And I don't know if this is
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: such a good idea either Captain Planet and the Planeteers
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: remember that cartoon.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's not a good idea. Live action.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Netflix has got Greg Burlanti, who did most of the
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: superhero shows on the CW.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: To the young teens that are well, that's that's part
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: of the show.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know it's it's it's Captain Planet and
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: the Planeteers, his planeteers.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I And somehow Leonardo DiCaprio is involved. He's producing it.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: I liked it as a kid. I guess I don't
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: know when did Captain Planet go woke?
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Good Heavens The comic book Invincible. Of course, the the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: animated series is on Prime video. We're still waiting for
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: season four and they've said, oh, go ahead and make
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: season five too, So it's not going away anytime soon.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: And if my inside sources are correct, you're probably going
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: to be looking at maybe eight seasons because he wants,
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: you know, Kirkman wants to do the entire run of
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the Invincible comic just animated. Though we got the Assassin's
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: Creed live action TV series has been greenlit for Netflix.
