Ep 3: Fant4stic Failure

Hello Everyone! Welcome to the PixieCast! For episode three, I'm trying something totally different! First, I recorded it as a video podcast! So, if you prefer to use YouTube or want to see my face (and the occasional cat), now you can! https://shorturl.at/Cmj58 [https://shorturl.at/Cmj58] Second, I'm covering a pop culture story instead of a paranormal one! During the Plague, I needed to take a mental break from spooky content, so I shifted my research skills to two of my other favorite things: comics and Hollywood scandals. I had a lot of fun exploring the world of superhero movies and the drama behind the scenes! So today, I'm sharing the tale of the last time Fantastic Four hit the Silver Screen. Fox Studio's Fant4stic (2015). This terrible, gritty reboot of the team started out with such promise. Directed by Josh Trank, a young director hot off another superpower movie, Chronicle (2012), starring Miles Teller, Micheal B. Jordan, Kate Mara, and Jamie Bell. Fant4stic should have worked...but it didn't, and the film is considered one of the worst superhero movies ever made. So what happened? Well, let's take a look together! The behind-the-scenes drama is wild! The movie had six different writers, a wicked fan backlash to the casting, and may or may not have included an on-set fight!
