Don Shanahan
The hosts of the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, came eager and prepare for their third Marvel Studios film of 2025: The Fantastic Four: First Steps. Maybe the school teacher hosts are more relaxed in the summer. Maybe it’s the fact that this new film was coming from its own universe and timeline and required no homework. Maybe it’s the dreaminess of lead star Pedro Pascal. Either way, there’s a spectacle with safe choices to talk about.
For their 206th episode, two invisible film critics, two rocky dads, and two stretchy teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, visit Marvel’s next summer blockbuster, the hotly anticipated The Fantastic Four: First Steps. They are not along, either. The hosts welcome back frequent guest, Cati Glidewell of The Blonde in Front and Film Obsessive, to weigh in on all of the family dynamics and kitschy period-era style. They were ready for a no-homework Marvel movie. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
