“The fantasticast is a great fun show that covered ever ff appearance from the early 60s to early 80s. As of right now I believe the show has ended(hope it comes back) but if it doesn’t then these guys still gave us one of the best marvel podcasts out there. It got me into reading fantastic four...”Read full review »
