Better In The Dark Episode Six: Marvel At The Movies With The Fantastic Four

Episodes
1

The second of our episodes exploring the media incarnations of Marvel Comics super-heroes (originally a bonus episode tied in with the release of Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer), featuring Tom finally laying the infamous 'NBC Booted The Human Torch Off The '78 Cartoon Because They Were Afraid Kids Would Light Themselves On Fire' urban legend (For the last time, It's NOT TRUE, folks!), the Guys Outta Brooklyn examining the story behind the never-released Roger Corman film--which is more interesting than the film itself--and a look at the ultra-obscure radio series. The episode also contains Tom and Derrick discussing the sequel with more enthusiasm than facts...lucky for us, the sequel deserved it.

More Drama

Radio drama, old-time radio and historic broadcasts from the Internet Archive (its Old Time Radio collection with the Old Time Radio Researchers' sets, WWII Era Audio Recordings, the Pacifica Radio Archives, the Radio Haiti Archive, German radio plays and listeners' uploads), Wikimedia Commons (with the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision's broadcasts) and the Library of Congress. Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
