    In which Stuart talks nonsense with Tony Esmond... While Andy is away, Stuart got together with The Awesome Comics Podcast's (and professional Steven Seagal lookalike) Tony Esmond, for a semi planned chat about Superman movies, comic book movies in general and a bit more. NOTE:  The audio on the recording with Tony isn't great and breaks up in places due to some microphone issues.  We'll try and get together with Tony again in the future, but hopefully it's listenable enough to get through, for those interested in such things.  Sorry for the issues, we'll try to do better next time.
