Fantastic Four vs. Superman: Who REALLY had the better WEEKEND BOX OFFICE?! (Plus, my "FF" review!)

COOLEST GEEK ALIVE dives deep into the media mind games surrounding the release of Superman and Fantastic Four — two tentpole films that opened neck-and-neck, but you’d never know it from the headlines. Why is the industry painting Superman like it underperformed and Fantastic Four like it triumphed? Why is the media rooting for Marvel’s hope over DC’s hope? And what does all of this reveal about the Hollywood ecosystem, where perception matters more than performance and narrative trumps numbers? This episode is a red-caped X-ray blast through the bullshit. Truth. Justice. And the media manipulation way.
