Comic-Con 2025, The Naked Gun, and The Fantastic Four: First Steps Saves the MCU

On this episode of The Hollywood Outsider podcast, we head back to San Diego to look at Comic-Con 2025 and debate the biggest news to drop out of Hall H and other locales such as: Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, NCIS: Tony & Ziva, IT: Welcome to Derry, Predator: Badlands, Peacemaker, Rick and Morty, Spartacus: House of Ashur, LEGO goes big, Coyote vs. Acme, and much more. All this, plus a report from Kyle Nolan with NoReruns.net, who was live on the ground at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con!

Then, parody makes a triumphant return with Liam Neeson in The Naked Gun, and we debate if Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps was enough to get the MCU back on track.
