Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #507: The First Family

Step into the Baxter Building with us as we review The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the newest entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We explore the rich history of Marvel’s “First Family,” including the long-standing debate between Jack Kirby and Stan Lee over their creation, plus a look back at past adaptations—some loved, some… less so. Finally, we discuss what this long-awaited film means for the future of the MCU.

Five(ish) Fangirls Episode #506: Fandom Christmas 2025

It’s the most wonderful time of the year for nerds — San Diego Comic-Con, aka “Fandom Christmas”! In this episode, we break down the highlights from this year’s event. While many of our usual fandoms were noticeably absent, there were still some exciting announcements and moments worth geeking out over. And yes, we know this episode is fashionably late — life really got in the way this time! But better late than never when it comes to celebrating SDCC.
