Fantastic 4 Flame On with Scott Niswander (NerdSync, It’s (Probably) Not Aliens)
Picture this: it’s the early 2000s, the first Fantastic Four film is about to hit theaters, and someone at a video game developer says, “You know what would be the perfect way to capitalize on this intellectual property? A side-scrolling action game on the Game Boy Advance where Reed Richards appears to have been replaced by his less scientifically-inclined brother in law (close enough, give me this one) and the Thing is made entirely of texture-mapping nightmares.” Congratulations, you’ve just invented Fantastic Four Flame On! It’s a game that managed to take four of Marvel’s most iconic heroes and somehow make them feel more constipated than a chemistry lecture taught underwater.
Joining us this week is the absolutely phenomenal Scott Niswander from NerdSync (the man who can explain the entire Marvel mythos while simultaneously making you question why the Human Torch doesn’t just solve every problem by setting it on fire) and It’s (Probably) Not Aliens (where not even Sue Storm’s force fields could save Ancient Aliens from the debunking). Together we’ll navigate a game so baffling in its design choices that you’ll start wondering if the developers were actually aliens trying to understand human entertainment and coming up just slightly short of the mark.
Will our heroes discover that the Game Boy Advance’s technical limitations somehow made this game better than it had any right to be? Can Scott explain why this game exists in a way that doesn’t make all of our brains feel like Alicia Masters trying to sculpt in the dark? And most importantly, does “Flame On” actually let you catch things on fire in any meaningful way, or is it just an elaborate metaphor for combusting under pressure? Strap yourself in for an episode more chaotic than trying to explain Fox’s Fantastic Four continuity to anyone born after 2010.
Learn such things as:
- How do you make the Human Torch work in a side-scroller without just turning it into a horizontal beam-spam simulator?
- Did Fox’s movie curse extend all the way down to the humble Game Boy Advance?
- How did Johnny Storm have time to do all this stuff considering the timeline of the movie?
- And so much more!
You can find Scott at The NerdSync YouTube channel, on Twitter @NerdSync or on the NerdSync Patreon page. Also check out It’s (Probably) Not Aliens to hear Scott and Tristan Johnson debunk Ancient Aliens.

Fantastic Four with Anthony Sytko (Capes on the Couch)
Flame on, podcast listeners! This week we’re stretching our way back to 2005 to tackle the Fantastic Four game that somehow managed to land on more consoles than Reed Richards has had scientific breakthroughs. Based on the first Fox movie that made us all question whether Hollywood truly understood what “fantastic” meant, this multi-platform adventure promised to let us clobber our way through levels faster than Ben Grimm goes through doorframes.
Joining us for this cosmic-powered gaming expedition is Anthony Sytko from Capes on the Couch, who’s here to help us determine whether this game was the ultimate power or just another case of “it’s clobberin’ time” gone wrong. We’ll be exploring how this tie-in game managed to squeeze onto everything from GameCube to Game Boy Advance, and whether any version actually captured the magic of Marvel’s first family – or if they all just left us feeling more invisible than Sue Storm on a bad day.
So grab your unstable molecules costume and prepare for a gaming experience that’s sure to be more unpredictable than Johnny Storm’s dating life. It’s time to see if this Fantastic Four adaptation was truly marvelous or just another victim of the superhero movie game curse!
Learn such things as:
- Does yelling “FLAME ON!” improve your loading times?
- Is this the worst timeline for Dr. Doom?
- How long can we go without saying something about America’s Ass?
- And so much more!
You can find Anthony @CapesOnTheCouch on BlueSky, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and of course the Capes on the Couch website.

#ChrisEvans is best known for his roles as #CaptainAmerica in the #Avenger movies & #TheHumanTorch #JohnnyStorm in the #FantasticFour movies but he's also acted very well & sensitively in 2 of my favorite movies of his --- #Push (2009) & #Gifted (2017)-- where he acts against type with a young woman and a young girl in those movies, respectively.
If you haven't seen him in these movies, I highly recommend you take a look at them.
