27 years later, a star-studded remake was attempted that tried to touch on big topics, but like the robo-cop at the center of the story, stops working when emotions are involved. Dan & Keith have thoughts... wait, who's hosting this?

11 years later, they made it to theatres with, so fae, the only F4 movie to earn a sequel. Who did best with Dr. Doom? Which source material should Story NOT have referenced? Can The Thing look good on screen? All this and more, with the Fantastic 4(s)!

2005 has a different spin, the precinct sieged by corrupt cops, as the simple menace of the original is replaced by being massively out-gunned by an elite squad... but Laurence Fishburne and Ethan Hawke are worth watching. Who had the better assault?

41 years later, it's the cast in the special glasses as Tony Shalhoub must save his family from just over ten ghosts with help from Matthew Lillard, and a bit of ghost writing from James Gunn-- well clearly Dan is going to fit Scooby-Doo in here somehow. Who haunts the best?
