Marvel’s Fantastic Four: First Steps final countdown to avengers Doomsday — but is it stretching too far, too fast?We break down the good, the bad, and the WTF of Fantastic Four First Steps — including spoilers. From bold new visuals to big emotional swings, we discuss what worked, what dragged, and what left us scratching our heads.Pedro Pascal is severing up familiar daddy as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby’s Sue Storm had us all divided, Ebon Moss-Bachrach serves up a rocky Ben Grimm and Joseph Quinn’s Human Torch is more than a pretty face!There’s action, grief, sexy aliens and family dinners. But is that enough? Two of us loved it, two of us nearly fell asleep. We may not save the multiverse, but we do have opinions.

The Bear Season 4 has everyone talking — but not everyone’s saying nice things… especially our parents.We break down the good, the bad, and the WTF of The Bear Season 4 — including spoilers.We dig into Ayo Edebiri and Lionel Boyce making their writing debuts on The Bear — and how Ebon Moss-Bachrach’s Richie, along with the rest of the Bears, had us crying under the table. Was Liza Colón-Zayas sidelined this season? And most importantly… were there enough Faks?Neil now suspects Marie might be a witch after her creepily accurate Season 4 predictions. Also, how much can Marie realistically thirst over Will Poulter and Jeremy Allen White in a single hour-long episode? And why did Captain Marvel ruin Neil’s day?Oh, Britta’s in thisWe may not know much about food — but we can talk about TV for hours.Follow us on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/0E31ucDQy7Ha5PRdtahAjbhttps://bsky.app/profile/neilg78.bsky.socialhttps://twitter.com/NeededRoads (run by Neil)https://www.instagram.com/neil_gregory78/ (Neils Insta)https://www.instagram.com/weneededroads (run by David)https://bsky.app/profile/llongd.bsky.social@llongd.bsky.socialhttps://x.com/Life_onMarsz (Maries Twitter)https://t.co/VEzFUG3ObX (Maries Podcast 2 Girls 1 Reusable Cup)https://x.com/aspanishjoe (Joses Twitter)https://www.jlopezphotos.com/ (Joses Photography Site)https://www.instagram.com/joselopezphotos/ (Joses Insta)Fund our quest for a Deloreanhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/WeneededroadsAnd don't forget to leave us a comment and subscribe on your podcast platform of choice#TheBear #TheBearSeason4 #TheBearSeason4Review #JeremyAllenWhite #ebonmossbachrach #WeNeededRoads #fak
