The Sci-Fi Horror and Fantasy Show Podcast

Season 2, Episode 6

Back from a two-week break, the show picks up with Ron sharing what he's been up to during the hiatus. He talks about watching—or attempting to watch—two movies that had been sitting on his watchlist. First up, Ron gives his take on the latest Marvel installment, Captain America: Brave New World, sharing his thoughts with Jeff and Mario.

Then, Ron and Jeff admit they couldn’t make it through the newest adaptation of Nosferatu, both agreeing it was just too boring to hold their attention.

Next, the team dives into a detailed breakdown of the newly released extended trailer for the upcoming Fantastic Four movie. Drawing from clues in the trailer, they discuss several big reveals: Sue Richards is pregnant with Franklin, the film is set in the 1960s, and it takes place outside of the main MCU timeline (not in the 616 universe). The hosts also speculate on whether this film might mark the long-awaited MCU debut of Doctor Doom, who originally appeared in Fantastic Four comics back in the '60s.

The conversation shifts to the trailer for the upcoming Toxic Avenger reboot, set to release in August 2025, starring Peter Dinklage and featuring Kevin Bacon and Elijah Wood.

Things take a darker turn as the hosts react to the trailer for 28 Years Later, the third installment in the 28 Days/Weeks Later series.

The group then explores whether the critical success of Michael B. Jordan’s new film Sinners—which boasts an impressive 8.1/10 on IMDb, a 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes, and an 84 on Metacritic—could signal a comeback for classic monsters like vampires and werewolves in mainstream cinema. Mario shares that he’s planning to watch Sinners soon and promises a spoiler-free review on the next episode.

To wrap things up, the hosts tackle their "Question of the Week": What are your thoughts on fictional stories that incorporate real-life murders? They share their opinions on the ethical implications of blending fact and fiction in storytelling.
