The Fantastic Four are back again in a new movie, and it's an eye-popping good time.
We've seen the story before, but this time the vibe is different.
It's brighter, set in a retro future with flying cars.
Plus, it stars Pedro Pascal and works for casual viewers and nerds alike.
We'll tell you why on Pop Culture Happy Hour.

Hey, it's Mariel.
When Amanda Hess found out she was pregnant with her first kid, she was home alone.
She'd just taken a pregnancy test.
I immediately googled what to do when you get pregnant.
That was a pretty good clue to the internet that I was pregnant now.
Amanda is a critic at large at the New York Times and the author of Second Life,
Having a Child in the Digital Age.
I think one of the things that's so insidious about pregnancy-related tech is that a lot of people are not discussing their pregnancies much,
especially at the very beginning of them.
I told the Internet about my pregnancy before I told anyone else, even my husband.
I wanted to wait for him to come home to tell him.
As a writer covering the intersection of the Internet and pop culture,
Amanda was probably more familiar than most with all the subtle,
surprising ways technology can embed itself in our lives.
