In this week's episode we take a nostalgic trip to the early days of the Superhero movie and talkabout the 2005 version of 'Fantastic Four'. The film stars Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba, Chris Evans, Michael Chiklis & Julian McMahon as the superhero team and their evil counterpart. 
In the episode we discuss the dangers involved when turning yourself to fire, pinpoint Ben Grimm as the lead character of the film and speculate the running logistics of the International Space Station. We loved this as kids, but does it hold up nearly 20 years later? Enjoy! 

Imagine having all four of those powers at the same time...surely they'd counteract eachother. You wouldn't be able to stretch anywhere because you'd be made of rock, and should you try and go invisible the infrared waves of your burning body would give you away. It would be less than ideal. Add electricity to that and it's a recipe for instant doom...we'll pardon our own pun.
