What A Cartoon! - Fantastic Four "When Calls Galactus" With Mike Lawrence
🕑 Added 2025-06-02 04:00:03 +0000 UTCHot on the heels of Fox Kids' Batman: The Animated Series and X-Men, Marvel brought us Fantastic Four, the first animated adaptation of the publisher's First Family in over 15 years. And, after a disastrous initial season, the series finally reached the coveted rank of "above average"—though it never went on to be remembered as fondly as its contemporaries. This month on What A Cartoon, join us for the podcast equivalent of clobberin' time as we take a gander at a confused production that did its best to right the ship before the end of its short run.
Our guest: Mike Lawrence from the Nerd of Mouth podcast

In order to make it up to Bob for politely sitting through this Fantastic Four talk, I think it's time to finally let him do a Squidbillies episode

As one of the few kids that took the bait of the “Heroes Reborn” storyline in the comics (image creators rebooting Marvel heroes in a modern timeline). I was late to this show and dying for some FF content—or any superhero content back then. I’ll never forget the disappointment of getting up at 6am to be met with that god awful season 1 theme song. Even my kid brain knew I was being fed something less than Spidey TAS and Xmen. I still convinced myself to like it though and own the DVDs 😂

I was already excited for FF First Steps but now I’m extra excited for Mike, what a lovely guest!

Bob, I thought it was just me because I watched it on Dailymotion, but I also couldn't understand half the things the rock guy was saying.
