“Human beings are the only puzzle I can't figure out.” Aldis Hodge On this powerful episode of The Pivot Podcast, Ryan Clark, Channing Crowder, and Fred Taylor sit down with actor, producer, and master watchmaker Aldis Hodge for one of their most raw and revealing conversations yet. Hodge opens up about being raised by a single mother whose strength and sacrifice shaped his work ethic and sense of responsibility from an early age. Growing up in an area where the presence of the KKK was real and racial tension wasn't just history—it was lived experience—he reflects on how those early encounters with hate forged both resilience and purpose. Rather than shrink, he found his voice. A passionate, unapologetic Black voice grounded in truth, excellence, and accountability. Best known for his roles in Straight Outta Compton, Hidden Figures, One Night in Miami, Hawkman in Black Adam, and currently the lead in Prime Video series Cross, Hodge shares the pressure of portraying cultural icons and superheroes alike. He discusses the responsibility that comes with representing real stories and real communities—and how he channels personal experience into every performance. Beyond Hollywood, Aldis speaks about fatherhood and how being a proud girl dad reshaped his definition of success. Legacy is no longer just about career accolades—it's about what he models at home, the protection he provides, and the standard he sets for the next generation. In a deeply personal moment, Aldis lets us in on a powerful exchange between him and his wife that has forever changed and guided him. He also dives into his passion for puzzles and engineering, explaining how building his own watch brand is rooted in ownership, precision, and creating generational wealth. Drawing powerful parallels between elite athletes and elite artists, Hodge breaks down why mastery demands hard work, sacrifice, and the courage to pivot toward purpose. This episode is about perseverance through adversity, using your platform with intention, and building a legacy that stands taller than the obstacles meant to break you.

This week on Another Pass, Sam and Case are joined by Zorikh Lequidre to revisit Shazam! Fury of the Gods. We break down the sequel's mythic swing, its tonal tightrope between family comedy and divine spectacle, and whether this lightning strike deserved a brighter fate at the box office. Another Pass Full Episode Originally aired: February 13, 2026  Music by Vin Macri and Matt Brogan Podcast Edited by Sophia Ricciardi Certain Point Of View is a podcast network brining you all sorts of nerdy goodness! From Star Wars role playing, to Disney day dreaming, to video game love, we've got the show for you!

Complex Character History and Naming (02:43) The Shazam character has undergone multiple renamings, now sometimes called "The Captain" to differentiate from original versions. Comics have introduced variants like Mary Marvel and Junior (Freddie Freeman's hero name) to expand the lore. The character's fluctuating comic presence, with cancellations and restarts, impacts fan engagement and continuity. Zorak's project, Captain Marvel Culture, explores these variants in cultural and historical contexts, highlighting the character's societal relevance. Actor and Fan Perspectives on Shazam (07:30) Sam Alicea shared her positive cosplay experience as Mary Marvel, emphasizing the character's wholesome reception in fandom. Both Sam and Case Aiken noted that the first Shazam movie was colorful and fun, appealing to casual viewers with good pacing and humor. Case's personal connection to the character goes back to childhood superhero creations, reinforcing the deep fan roots. The first film balanced the youthful and superhero personas well, unlike the sequel where the older cast created dissonance. Challenges with Sequel Timing and Casting (14:00) The four-year gap between the first and second Shazam movies caused problematic aging of the cast, making the characters less believable as teenagers. The COVID-19 pandemic limited crowd scenes, affecting the movie's atmosphere and fight sequences, leading to a "COVID movie" feel with socially distanced extras. The sequel's timing made character maturity inconsistent, with Zachary Levi's older age conflicting with immature superhero behavior, reducing audience sympathy. The lack of continuity in character growth and the absence of younger kid scenes weakened the family dynamic established in the first film. Plot, Powers, and Mythological Elements The movie's story and mythological adaptations were discussed, focusing on the Daughters of Atlas and their powers, plus how mythology was reinterpreted (28:58). Invented Mythology and Powers of Atlas' Daughters (29:00) The film introduced three daughters of Atlas, a creative deviation from classical mythology that was accepted as a fun concept. Helen Mirren's character uses force fields and telekinesis, Lucy Liu's character employs "chaos" powers resembling mind control, and Rachel Zegler's character has axis-based powers, visually impressive but not well explained. The powers were often scene-dependent rather than consistent, especially Helen Mirren's varying abilities. The dome barrier served as a plot device to isolate the final fight and prevent intervention from other heroes, a trope common in superhero films. Mythology vs. Comic Lore (31:33) The movie used traditional Shazam power origins (Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, Mercury) rather than newer comic variations. Discussion considered linking the characters to the broader DC mythos, such as the New Gods, but the film stuck to simpler concepts. The film's magic and powers were occasionally connected to Dungeons & Dragons references, reflecting the script's mix of fantasy influences. The casting of iconic actors like Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu added gravitas despite the powers being plot-driven. Narrative and Visual Critiques of Powers and Effects (35:00) The dome and powers' visual effects felt forced or inconsistent, serving more as story contrivances than meaningful world-building. The chaotic power, mainly mind control, lacked thematic clarity despite being the most consistent. The movie struggled to integrate powers into the plot logically, often introducing new abilities at convenience moments. The limited impact of the dome on the city was noted, with little attention to realistic consequences of such an event. Family Dynamics and Character Development A major theme was how the sequel mishandled the Shazam family dynamic, focusing too much on superhero forms and not enough on the kids' human sides (40:00). Underused Supporting Characters and Forced Representation (40:00) Pedro's gay reveal felt forced due to minimal screen time and lack of character development. The less prominent kids, especially Eugene and Pedro, were overshadowed by their superhero forms, weakening emotional engagement. Darla remained the heart of the family, carrying much of the emotional weight and humor, consistent with the first film. The sequel relied heavily on superhero personas rather than showing genuine child characters, harming the family's relatability. Mismatch of Actor Ages and Character Portrayals (46:30) The aging cast, particularly Zachary Levi, struggled to convincingly portray teenage characters, making immature behavior less palatable. The lack of contrasting younger versions of Billy and other kids reduced the dynamic tension present in the original movie. The sequel missed chances to explore Billy's growth and his struggles with leadership and abandonment issues meaningfully. Sam noted the film's good attempt to show Billy's fear of aging out of foster care as a motivation, but this was not fully developed. Lost Opportunities for Emotional Payoff (53:00) The film failed to create a satisfying emotional journey for Billy, especially regarding his insecurities and leadership challenges. The family's support was underutilized in key moments, leaving Billy's character arc feeling incomplete. The sequel lacked the sense of belonging and acceptance that made the first film's family dynamic resonate. Case and Sam suggested that a powerful second-act scene showing Billy's vulnerability and the family's encouragement was needed to strengthen the story. Critique and Proposed Fixes for the Sequel The panel proposed several realistic improvements to the sequel's structure, pacing, and character focus to enhance its emotional and narrative impact (56:00). Strengthening the Second Act and Family Bonding (56:00) Add scenes where the kids remain in their human forms to highlight their vulnerabilities, creating richer character moments. Insert a confrontation scene where Billy expresses frustration at the family's lack of unity, followed by reassurance from siblings. Shorten or remove the cringy Wonder Woman date scene to maintain tone and pacing. Show more of the lesser-used kids at school, depicting their struggles balancing normal life and superhero identities. Improving the Final Battle with the Dragon (31:30, 56:00, 01:32:50) Make the fight more dynamic by having Billy repeatedly say "Shazam" to power up the staff, requiring him to transform back to human form intermittently. Introduce stages in the fight where the hero tries different tactics, fails, then devises a winning plan. Include moments of vulnerability where Billy dodges attacks and avoids damage, adding tension and realism. Use the environment inside the dome better, possibly including some civilians or other stakes, if COVID protocols allow. Enhancing Character Scenes and Emotional Arcs (01:40:00) Show the kids' defeat when Helen Mirren's character escapes by turning back into their child forms, emphasizing their youth and fallibility. Add a scene where Billy admits to failure and receives encouragement from his siblings, reinforcing the family theme. Develop more natural, character-driven moments such as a school scene involving Skittles, tying in humor and personality. Streamline the plot to reduce the number of major events, allowing more screen time for character interactions and growth. Long-Term Franchise Vision: TV Series Format (01:14:30, 01:49:00) The panel agreed a TV series would better suit the story, allowing the actors to age naturally and explore the characters in depth. Proposed dividing the cast so Billy, Mary, and Freddie attend college while the younger kids remain in high school, creating parallel storylines. This approach resembles a "Happy Days with superpowers" format, supporting gradual character evolution and maintaining audience engagement. The TV format would also allow passing powers to new kids as the original characters grow up, ensuring franchise longevity. Production Context and External Influences The discussion recognized COVID-19's major impact on production, release timing, and overall movie quality, affecting creative decisions and execution (14:00, 01:52:00). COVID-19 Pandemic Effects (14:00) Production delays and social distancing protocols limited extras and crowd scenes, affecting the movie's atmosphere and fight choreography. The necessity of a smaller dome and fewer characters in scenes was a direct result of COVID restrictions. The four-year gap between movies was unplanned but forced by the pandemic, causing casting and story continuity issues. These factors contributed to the movie feeling disjointed and less cohesive compared to the first film. Script and Franchise Challenges (25:00) Multiple script rewrites were needed after Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam was spun off into his own movie, forcing major plot changes. The absence of Black Adam as a villain removed a key expected antagonist, weakening the sequel's threat level and fan expectations. The movie was released amid DC's shifting cinematic universe plans, reducing the likelihood of future sequels or franchise expansion. Despite plans to connect with the Justice Society and tease Mr. Mind, these elements remained unresolved, signaling franchise uncertainty. Casting and Political Context (01:06:00) Gal Gadot's performance as Wonder Woman was noted as uneven and disconnected from the main cast's energy. The panel acknowledged Gadot's political stances have affected her reception among some fans, adding complexity to her role's acceptance. The awkwardness of Billy's romantic scene with Wonder Woman was criticized for tone and appropriateness, detracting from character coherence. Zachary Levi's personal controversies and public persona complicated audience reception of his performance, especially given the film's tonal demands.

Industrial robots on a factory floor can be difficult, to say the least. Industrial robots on a concert stage, in front of 20,000 people, on a two-minute setup clock are a whole different challenge.In this episode, we talk with Andy Flesser - computer animator turned “robot animator,” whose work has helped bring robotics into live entertainment and film - about what that kind of pressure does to how you think about automation. Why preparation starts way earlier than most teams realize. And why some of the best lessons for manufacturing come from places that don't look like factories at all.We also get into where Andy thinks robotics actually makes sense, where it probably doesn't, and why the future of robots might be less about machines walking around and more about environments doing work around us.If you've ever operated an automated system and felt that knot in your stomach when something didn't behave the way you expected, you'll recognize a lot of what he's talking about here.In this episode, find out:How Andy went from animation into robotics, and why early robot programming felt more like deciphering a code than writing softwareWhat it was like putting robots on tour with Bon Jovi, and why live entertainment turned out to be one of the toughest automation environments imaginableWhy a robot failing on a concert stage creates a very different kind of pressure than a robot failing behind factory wallsWhat really happens on a movie set when robotics are involved (including Black Adam), and why even “small” changes still need serious testingWhy Andy sees huge potential for robotics in medical applications, especially in areas most people don't talk aboutA take on the future of robotics that skips the humanoids and focuses on buildings, rooms, and systems doing the work insteadHow entertainment can be a surprisingly effective way to pull people into robotics and automation careersEnjoying the show?

Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman, marking my 106th episode of VideoFuzzy titled "NERD SHOW!" reporting the progress I've made in cataloging thousands of VHS transfers and digital recordings. The title comes from my Fuzzy Feature, episodes of The History Channel's "The Universe" that turned up in my cataloging efforts including "The Seven Wonders of The Solar System," "Extreme Energy," "Light Speed" and "Time Travel." In Cross Connections I highlight appearances by Savion Glover on The Colbert Report, Seth MacFarlane and Pamela Anderson at the Comedy Central Roast of David Hasselhoff. Also Dean Norris, Neil Grayston, René Auberjonois, Rhea Perlman, Bruno Campos, Tom Skerritt, Bob Gunton, Michael Rappaport, Robert Wisdom, Gregory Itzen, Jean Smart, John Michael Higgins and John Cena. I identify Robert Patrick of "Peacemaker" as a Golden Thread in my collection. Finally, I follow an appearance by Derek Hamilton in "Psych" to his appearance in mid-'90s FOX production "Strange Luck," which lead me on a journey that turned up 15 episodes of that show on a YouTube channel called "Videos and Memories" (https://www.youtube.com/@VideosandMemories-h9c) In my Classic Collection [VHS-to-DVD transfers] this set covered discs 1926-1950. I found interviews with photographer Doug Beasley and artist Andy DuCett on "Minnesota Original," shared to VideoFuzzy's Instagram. I note the passing of Jamaican artist Jimmy Cliff's passing, his having appeared on The Colbert Report archived to disc 1926. Also, comments on "Psych," "Tosh.0," "The Comedy Central Roast of David Hasselhoff," "Monty Python's Flying Circus," "Kids in the Hall" and their 2010-era effort "Death Takes a Holiday." In Book Reports, I note author and fellow podcaster Kemper Donovan's third installment in the ghostwriter mystery series "Sweet Spot" is now available for preorder, and talk about "The Woman in Cabin 10" by Ruth Ware, an author I learned of through his production with late, fondly remembered cohost Catherine Brobeck. In my Current Collection [direct to digital], spoiler-free comments on "Schitt's Creek," "Only Murders in the Building" and "Peacemaker" (second season opening sequence: https://youtu.be/xS11-GIemXY). Also P!nk's "I'm Not Dead" concert from 2007 and commentary on indy Canticle production "End of the Rope" (2023) Other movies I watched include "Coco," "Noises Off," "Cocaine Bear," "Let's Kill Ward's Wife," "Bros," "Spoiler Alert," "M3GAN," "The Fifth Element," "In Time," "Black Adam," "Sorry to Bother You," "Fritz the Cat," "Labyrinth," "The Dark Crystal," and may I HIGHLY recommend psychological spy thriller "Black Box" with Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett. Finally, I note with some irritation changes to tubi's presentation of classic "Doctor Who." In What I've Been Watching, watch for "Knives Out 3: Wake Up, Dead Man" on Netflix. Also, spoiler-free comments on "Wicked: For Good" and "Zootopia 2." And having found that YouTube channel, here's where I dig into "Strange Luck," the unlikely set of circumstances that led me to it, my astonishment at finding it at all and how enjoyable I found it to be after all these years. Also, a cheerful little coincidence that led me to a comment about coincidences themselves in an episode of the "All About Agatha" podcast's back catalog, also shared to VideoFuzzy's Instagram page.

Is the SnyderVerse returning with the WB sell?! Today on The Kristian Harloff Show, we dive into a massive wave of breaking news across the industry — and yes, that includes the big headline: Zack Snyder, Christopher Nolan & Saudis set to bring back the SnyderVerse in a potential new deal still rumor at this point. With reports that Saudi Arabia's PIF enters the Warner Bros. bid mix, there's a lot to unpack about what this could mean for DC's future and whether the SnyderVerse could actually return. We also cover the latest box-office and franchise updates, including Now You See Me 3 topping the global box office, plus confirmations of Black Panther 3 and Now You See Me 4, giving movie fans plenty to look forward to. On the DC side, BLACK ADAM star Pierce Brosnan says Doctor Fate will appear in Man of Tomorrow, which adds more intrigue to James Gunn's Superman plans. In industry news, Tom Cruise has finally received an Oscar, marking a major moment in his legendary career, and we touch on comments from the Naked Gun director, who is unimpressed with the reboot.

Andrew Gordon (Cinepals) & Tara Erickson (The Rage Pod) react to the explosive 2022 DCEU superhero blockbuster Black Adam, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra (Jungle Cruise, The Shallows) and starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson (Fast & Furious, Jumanji) as Teth-Adam / Black Adam, the ancient antihero unleashed in the modern world. With his god-like powers and uncompromising sense of justice, Black Adam's arrival shakes the foundations of the DC Universe. The film also stars Aldis Hodge (One Night in Miami, Leverage) as Carter Hall / Hawkman, leader of the Justice Society; Pierce Brosnan (GoldenEye, Mamma Mia!) as the mystical Kent Nelson / Doctor Fate; Noah Centineo (To All the Boys I've Loved Before, The Recruit) as Atom Smasher; Quintessa Swindell (Trinkets, Master Gardener) as Cyclone; Sarah Shahi (Sex/Life, Person of Interest) as freedom fighter Adrianna Tomaz; and Marwan Kenzari (The Old Guard, Aladdin) as the villainous Ishmael Gregor / Sabbac. Among the film's most talked-about moments are Black Adam's brutal introduction, the Justice Society's breathtaking battles against him, and the post-credits cameo featuring Henry Cavill as Superman, which had fans buzzing about the future of the DCEU. With electrifying action sequences, mythological backstory, and The Rock's intense performance, Black Adam remains one of the most debated entries in DC's cinematic legacy.

This is the end, beautiful friends. We conclude the Summer of Rock with the much-better-than-I-remembered Jungle Cruise, a movie we abruptly pivoted to covering after trying to watch Black Adam and giving up out of boredom.  We cover the history of movies based on theme parks, the rocky production of Jungle Cruise, its unfortunate failure at the box office, and then we go through the movie itself, trying to figure out if this is one of The Rock's better late-career performances or if he's being carried entirely by Emily Blunt. The Summer of Rock is our summer 2025 miniseries covering the movie career of Dwayne Johnson through nine movies, presented in chronological order. Starting with his attempt at crossing over from the world of wrestling, The Rock's career got off to a bumpy start before finally taking off in the 2010s. But it wasn't long before the bumps returned, and we'll be telling the story for you all summer long! Next week: We'll have a shorter bonus episode to wrap up the Summer of Rock, and we'll answer a few mailbag questions.

Superman (2025) Look, up in the sky! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it another confused entry into the DC Extended Universe pantheon of super hero films?! No!!! This is something else entirely! James Gunn (Peacemaker, Guardians of the Galaxy) takes on the D.C. Universe with Superman and is clearly building something new and different… but crucially; is it any good? It's made a butt-tonne of cash, and out-scored the Snyder-verse it is taking over from, but does it have a beating heart? There’s some division in the ranks over this one, with everyone having a very different approach to this film that is not just rebooting a universe, but attempting to wash away some of the bad vibes of 12 years of questionable decisions. The whole team is in for this with Dion and Jill in our legion of Doom and Quinny and Peta suiting up as the Justice Gang. You will believe a podcast can fly!!! Synopsis When Superman gets drawn into conflicts at home and abroad, his actions are questioned, giving tech billionaire Lex Luthor the opportunity to get the Man of Steel out of the way for good.

You know, finally, the summer blockbuster we’ve all been waiting for. Superman.  Quinny  I’m. I’m excited. I’m super excited.  Dion  Look. You are super excited. No, no, Superman. So parse we’re on to Fantastic Four now, that’s the next new hotness.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  Yeah. Well, I mean, I don’t have, I don’t have my glasses to give. You Deon, but yeah.  jill  Yeah. We had our own personal Pedro Pascal last night. We didn’t need no premiere.  Dion  That’s.  Speaker 9  No. Yes. When the girl. The girl that Porto was so excited.  Quinny  Did we? Did we premiere? It was just a. It’s the best thing ever.  Dion  For like 30 seconds and then she was back to serving hot fresh chicken as fast.  Quinny  The the look on this young lady’s face, though, and she was like, OK, you want an Oporto burger? What?  Speaker 9  Yeah. Are you here for this?  Speaker 10  Sure.  Dion  Yeah, yeah. Look, you know, no, it’s not. It’s not me. Pablo Pascal Pablo Pascal, the team Umm Pedro.  jill  The team U version? Yeah.  Quinny  You’re you’re like Orlando blooms. All the color bloom.  Dion  The fat cousin? Yeah, in Pensacola. We all know these things. It’s fine. We’re not there to talk about this. We’re.  Quinny  I’m.  Speaker 5  Happy to talk about.  Dion  Superman, aren’t we focus. Focus back on this. We’re here to talk about Superman. Lex Luthor, Lois Lane and no one else.  Quinny  Right. OK, right.  Speaker 11  Quinny  Talking about the rest of the. Characters.  Dion  No, no, no, just those three. That’s it. OK, that’s what we agreed to right in the pre production meeting. Yeah, that you all attended. I sent you that invitation.  Speaker  Right.  Quinny  Yeah, yeah, absolutely.  Dion  No, it’s.  Peta  A joke all of the notes we make, all the proof we do like, yeah.  Dion  Yeah, yeah, you’re right.  Speaker 3  Yeah.  Dion  Yeah. Yeah, it’s it’s 15 hours of. Yeah, it’s, it’s it’s 15 hours of prep work for each hour long show.  jill  The slide deck we built.  Speaker  So.  Dion  Shows doesn’t.  Speaker  It.  Quinny  Sometimes it does feel a bit.  jill  Don’t. You’re reminding me why I stopped doing Animaniacs.  Speaker 5  Ohh.  Quinny  I mean, you know, you’re not wrong.  Speaker 12  Yeah.  Dion  Can we focus on this? Come on, buddy. OK, guys, up here. Let’s go podcast. Alright.  Peta  Right.  Quinny  I’m I’m doing really important stuff.  Dion  We’re. Sick man. Yeah. All right. Last week we had the distinct pleasure of going to see Superman. We did. Water brothers. And. It was a big thing.  Speaker  Wasn’t it?  Quinny  That’s a big thing. How do we all feel?  Dion  Who’s the biggest super fan?  Quinny  Ohh, there’s a good question.  Dion  There here.  Quinny  Yeah. I’m. I’m. I’m big fan of Superman. Love the original 78 film. Probably was, I don’t know for for me, he’s always just been there because of things like super friends, you know? But. I don’t know. I don’t know whether I’d call myself a massive Superman fan, I don’t know.  jill  Yeah, I gotta say, not my favorite superhero. I’m a I’m a Batman girl.  Quinny  I I know this about you.  Dion  Right.  Speaker 9  Yeah. But Superman is there.  Dion  She likes some dark, dark, gritty and rich.  Speaker 12  Yeah.  Quinny  Not traumatised.  Dion  Not, not corn fed worthy and alien.  jill  Look, I do have a new boyfriend and his name is David Cornstein.  Dion  I also have.  jill  We haven’t met yet, but.  Speaker 12  Reviewed.  Dion  I also have a new boyfriend and that is the Star Wars fan David coins, so you know. Yes.  Quinny  Mm-hmm.  Speaker  Quinny  Yeah, David, David, corn sweat. Who said what? What would you like to build? And he said, give me a *******. Lego kit. Yeah, like he, he’s like I want a Superman Lego kit now, like.  Dion  Did you see? Did you see him on the lie detector test where they asked the question of which one would you prefer to do the sequel? The the sequels for Superman or to change and go to become the like into the Star Wars universe and?  jill  Go to Star Wars, yeah.  Dion  He was like.  jill  He’s like, well, they already have me on a contract for another Superman. So I’ll say yes to the Star Wars. Yeah, I’ll take both.  Speaker 3  Yeah.  Quinny  Good answer.  Dion  Peter. Peter, as a lifelong super fan.  Quinny  Mm-hmm.  Dion  Do you? Do you? Would you consider yourself the Superman, Stan?  Peta  I mean, Stan would be taking it a bit far. I I’m I’m not. I I don’t dislike Superman. I think. I mean, my first experience with Superman was the old opening title sequence from the old TV show. You know, and then well, is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s Superman. Which was the only thing we knew about Superman for a little while. So when we played Superman and Wonder Woman.  Quinny  Hang on, which which old TV show? All right.  Peta  Superman could be a bird or a plane, or faster earth speeding bullet, and that was it. That’s all we had. We did not grow up with comics. We grew up with sound bites. And then Lewis and Clark, and he ain’t he ain’t no one Superman anymore, so I’m happy. I’m happy for a new Superman. I mean, I I, I you know. Yeah, I I was excited for Henry at the time but.  Quinny  Yes. No, what a ********.  Speaker  Peta  Wasn’t a fan of the dark?  Speaker 3  MHM.  Peta  The dark reboot. Didn’t some somebody who knows nothing really about the character just didn’t feel right to try to dark reboot? Superman didn’t didn’t really work for me, so I’ve I’ve I jumped off the Super train and.  Speaker 9  Hmm.  Quinny  So so you’re trying to tell me that you you weren’t big on Man of Steel, didn’t get into Batman versus Superman and then didn’t love Justice League? Is that what I’m hearing?  Peta  I didn’t watch Justice League. I didn’t watch Batman versus Superman because when it comes to DC movies, I wait for you guys to watch them and then you tell me if I should watch them. And that’s usually how it goes. Yeah. Wait, who was who was the one that was before Henry and like? 2000 and.  Speaker 11  Brandon, Ralph. Yes, Brandon. Ralph. Yeah.  Speaker  Peta  Yeah, yeah, I like chicks.  jill  I will die on that hill. Yeah, I loved that.  Peta  Movie. I like that movie. I saw it. I saw it like in an IMAX theatre in Minnesota or something.  Dion  Yeah. And it was also shot in Sydney.  jill  Yes, it was. And my my 6° of separation I don’t know how many degrees this makes it, but my father changed the traffic lights in the Sydney CBD to American traffic lights so they could film the scenes in the street.  Quinny  Nice. Yeah, right.  Dion  That’s definitely about 6:00 because he didn’t actually interact with anyone.  Speaker 11  He worked. He worked on the film. He did.  Quinny  Sure. We we did work on the.  Dion  Film it’s true, it’s true. So you gotta you’ve gotta count. Like, who was that then? Who was the person he spoke to that was closest to speaking to Brandon ramp?  Speaker 9  Work on the film. Yeah, I’ll let’s just say 3, that’s great.  Quinny  Great. Look, my degrees of separation with Brandon Ralph is one. I’ve met him. Yeah, he’s a very nice man. I really.  Dion  Queen, we’ve talked that.  Quinny  Liked that? He.  Speaker 11  I bet he’s.  Dion  That’s technically considered.  Quinny  He’s super ******* tall.  Dion  Yeah. OK. And he has vegan power.  Quinny  He does have amazing like.  Dion  Because he he’s part of the vegan police. No, wait. He got his head, then stripped.  Quinny  Yes, yes. Because he had cheese at some point, got some Scott Pilgrim.  Dion  That’s right. This is all Scott Pilgrim work. OK, fine. But he’s also got another DC superhero, hasn’t he? In the TV.  jill  Yeah, he’s been the.  Dion  Adam. Yeah. Anyway, more away from Superman. Don’t forget that that the the Superman movie.  Speaker 11  But he did replay.  jill  Superman in the Elseworlds stuff in.  Quinny  Yes. Yeah, he was the the Kingdom come version of Superman, which I ******* loved.  Speaker  Yes.  Dion  So the last time we saw Superman on screen was in the post credit sequence of Black Adam. You forgot about that one, didn’t you?  Speaker 11  Yes, we did. Nope, unfortunately.  Dion  Which was Henry Cavill’s reintroduction into the DC Universe, only to be told very politely. I hope by James Gunn. Nope. Go on. Go on a different direction. So yeah, man.  Speaker  Ohh yeah. Ouch.  Dion  Yeah, but first up though. Like, I mean before we.  Peta  He’s doing all right. He’ll be fine, OK?  Dion  Get too. Before we get too into it, do we have a a synopsis about this new Superman and do you have any requests of the type of accent that what should accent should Quinney be doing it in?  jill  I’ll do it on the timing news guy.  Peta  I was going to say manic tech bro, but yeah, no. We’ve we’ve had many tech bro recently so.  Quinny  Yeah, right. OK. OK, we, we got we got a musical thing on this one. Dion  No worries. Oh yeah, why not? There you go.  Speaker 13  Quinny  I can’t hear it, but I really want. To do when it. When it hits the its stride.  Speaker 13  When Superman gets drawn into conflict at home and abroad, his actions are questioned, giving tech billionaire Lex Luther the opportunity to get the Man of Steel out of the way for good will. Intrepid reporter Lois Lane and Superman’s 4 legged companion crypto be able to help him before it’s too late. Find out in Superman 2025.  Dion  I don’t give a **** the original music’s. Still banging? Yeah.  Peta  I mean that that that’s that. That’s the most fun **** accent we’ve had in a long time. It was barely even.  Quinny  Good.  Peta  Ship quinny. I don’t know.  Dion  Yeah. There we go. People are saying that’s that’s that’s one of your best.  Quinny  That was actually. Vaguely close to what I was aiming for. ******* terrifying.  Speaker 5  Yeah. All right, so.  Quinny  Yes. So here we are, James Gunn. After being ceremony unceremoniously booted from the Marvel Universe and then welcomed back to it so we can do. The end of his trilogy, but during that that brief period of booting was essentially said. Ohh well, if they don’t want you we we’ll give you like. All this other ****. And he then went and made Suicide Squad. And then. Was essentially given the keys to the Kingdom and said you can make your DC.  jill  I’ll tell you what you can fit so many James Gunn elements in this bad boy you’ve got. Kaiju size aliens. You’ve got a quirky, lovable animal. You’ve got deep cut comic book characters. You’ve got obscure version of a mainstream character and.  Speaker 3  Mm-hmm.  jill  The pistol resistance. The one shot fight sequence.  Quinny  Yes, yes, swoopy camera that does all of the the swooping Ness. Yeah, and lots of fisheye lens stuff.  jill  Not much. Snoopy ******* camera in this film. Yeah, besides the fight scene, a lot of swoopy camera.  Quinny  Yeah. So, yes, what do we do? We like James Gunn as a director. I look, I OK I do. I like James Gunn. I’m gonna say that. But feel free to tell me what you all think.  jill  I mean, I found all of the guardians of the Galaxy films very enjoyable. I do like his, you know, I guess you would call it his vision that he. Makes in his films, you know, he’s. Got a very. Clear aesthetic and it’s like a comedy slant on. Serious issues I guess, but also very heartfelt. Yeah, he tends to put a. Lot of himself in his movies and actually crypto is based on his dog.  Quinny  Yeah, who is very bad dog. Yeah, but I love him nonetheless.  jill  So yeah, I I like James Gunn films.  Speaker 2  Hmm.  Quinny  Pete, where are you at with our J?  Peta  No, I mean I I don’t have super strong feelings, but I don’t think I’ve ever been. Mad at them.  jill  Not even for the tweets that he’s trying to redeem himself from.  Peta  I would have to be reminded a a bit, but.  Dion  Or you can find them, but it’s someone who is like 20.  Peta  I was gonna say it’s like, well in the past. And he’s been like ohh, that was bad, right? Yes, he hasn’t. He hasn’t been like, sorry if you’re offended. No. No. OK, well, then that’s like, people make mistakes when they’re young.  Speaker  Yes.  jill  He’s probably 1. Of the rare people that came away from an attempted cancelling but yeah.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  Yeah, I would agree with that. Like I think he. Was able to do the the thing of going own it say yeah, that was me. That was back then. I don’t agree with this **** now. I I let my record of the last how many films I’ve made be my kind of my statement as to what kind of a person. I am now. Which I kind of agree with. I think he I think what he’s trying to say most of the time is generally the right thing Ding.  Peta  Ohh, he was he was saying stuff quite loudly this time. But Oh yeah.  Quinny  My God.  Dion  I’ve been a fan of James Gunn’s work since PG ****. Which you might. Yeah, I know. Right. People like wait. What? Yeah, he did a thing called PG **** for Spike TV. She was always great because always cut away before any of the real **** happened. It was quite great. And Nathan fillion’s. In. It if you ever wanted that. So you go look that up. Look, he’s kind of hit and miss, but you know. I like that he came from a very do-it-yourself roots sort of thing, working with chroma when he when he hits his stride really well is is in great filming. Like, you know, some of his films are are actually quite fun and exciting. And he he brings the. UMI think? Sense of joy and a bit of wonder and a bit of stupidity to kind of every single film that he’s in that he does. So yeah, I mean when this was announced that he was gonna be doing Superman or, you know, heading DC into a new direction, I was like, huh, OK can be a bit, Sammy, with your your stuff because you’ve got your formula, which works. And you you’ve been hammering out the same way for a few times, but alright, let’s let’s go see what you’re gonna do with this one. I’ll give it a go. You seem to make. Paining things which is. Exciting. And also he’s happy to. You know, as with peacemaker and suicide, the Suicide Squad. Sorry. He’s happy to to. You’d be a bit creative with what’s going on by not talking about specific characters, but by building a story around misfits and things you wouldn’t really think of. He likes the latitude, I think, rather have to go down the thing like. I mean, I wouldn’t really want to watch James Gunn’s bat.  Speaker 9  Ohh God no, no.  Dion  Was it? Yeah, it’d be a bit. It’d be a bit strange, but James Gunn’s Lobo could work. Yeah.  Quinny  No. I and I think this I think a lot of people were fairly concerned or at least trepidatious about James Gunn, Superman, because what we’ve seen him do before now has always been about. Outsiders, misfits. You know, like peacemaker, people who are not necessarily good people. You know, the the guardians of the Galaxy are all not necessarily good people. So how does how is it going to play? When he is. You know very much, looking at a paragon, you know, how do we deal with somebody who is just straight up good?  Speaker  MHM.  Quinny  You know, is he gonna be able to handle that and personally? I thought he did.  jill  Yeah. Well, I think what aided him was having a a periphery of weirdos. Yeah, yeah.  Quinny  Goofy ********.  Dion  Gotta admit, I was one of the people who was like.  Speaker  Hmm.  Speaker 5  Who is they?  jill  Yes, we all exclaimed after the movie when Dion said, who was that? Who was that? Who was that? And yeah, we said pick up.  Quinny  Yeah.  jill  A DC comic.  Peta  Book. See I’m. I’m. I’m just used to that experience so it.  Speaker  Yes. Yeah.  Peta  Doesn’t bother me. I don’t know who any of these people are. I know Luther. I know, Lois. I know Superman. Yeah, Jimmy.  Quinny  Thank you. Jimmy Olsen.  Peta  That’s.  Speaker  It.  Quinny  So. So Dion, you’ve never run across Mr. Terrific before? Nope, never run across the garden before.  Dion  Now what now?  Quinny  Who was the chick with Wings Hawk girl?  Dion  Ohh and then there was the other one that did.  jill  Come on.  Quinny  Metamorpho.  Dion  No.  Quinny  Right, I guess. Here’s here’s the thing. This is an unashamedly comic book loving movie. Yeah. And the characters that they are choosing to.  Dion  But. Knew the dog.  Quinny  Difference are not just the big triumvirate, not the what do they call them? The big three? Yeah, they’re, they’re they’re. They’re not the big three. They’re not the Justice League. This is the other guys. It’s green. Not just a Green Lantern. It’s the Green Lantern. That everybody.  Dion  Justice gang.  jill  Hates the ******* worst.  Quinny  The ******** Green Lantern with the.  Dion  Worst hair? No, that was that was the Ryan Reynolds one.  Peta  Yeah.  Quinny  It can get worse. You know it’s it’s Mr. Terrific who is, you know, the lot. People have seen him in recent years. He did show up in Arrow as a as a recurring character, but probably not in a way that people would go. Oh, there’s there’s somebody who needs to be on a big screen.  Dion  I had the same reaction when I saw polka dot man. I was like, OK, fine. But then I was watching this going I I don’t know why. Why does Superman even talk to these people? Aren’t they beneath him?  jill  Yeah.  Quinny  No, please.  Peta  Welcome to my side of the fence there.  Dion  It was weird over there.  Quinny  One thing I will say I do think the film look, I’m I’m putting my my word out there right now. I enjoyed it a lot. I thought it was a lot of fun and really, really enjoyable and hit a lot of emotional notes. But the phrase that I have used to describe it to a few people is silly. Like it is willfully silly. And occasionally goofy. And when it does, big action sequences and stuff it it really leans into this, the kind of silliness of. Ridiculous superpowers. You know you can have 100 flying jetpack goons attach themselves to Superman, and he will just spin like a a top and then they all go flying and it’s it’s cartoon world. Whereas. The the other thing is it’s silly, but at the same time it’s very grounded in its emotions.  jill  Yes, yes, I would agree with you.  Speaker 10  Yeah.  Quinny  And I remember watching it and thinking, oh, that one’s going to be that’s going to be divisive.  Dion  Like the whole thing.  Quinny  And. Yeah, the the whole film, because honestly, I think. If you.  jill  But isn’t it? Isn’t it just dividing like people with empathy and ********?  Quinny  But that’s not what I thought was gonna happen. I thought it was going to divide people into people who wanted us a a more serious take on a superhero. Ohh. OK and people.  Speaker  Oh.  Quinny  Who were just like, yeah, comic book superhero, bright colors, Superman robots, you know, crypto.  jill  Yeah, that’s what kind of makes it hard for me to recommend to people because my parents love to watch movies. They like the superhero stuff, and so my mum was like, how was Superman? I said.  Speaker 9  Ohh it was, it was fun.  jill  But at the same time, I’m thinking you’re not going to get half of the references in this film. Like it’s definitely not built for a layman. Peta  You don’t. You don’t need to get the references for it to be fun, though. I think if if you had to get the references.  jill  I feel like 75% of it is references.  Peta  For it to be fun.  Quinny  I mean. Are you? Maybe you need.  Peta  To get into the spirit of it, like I’d never heard it, I didn’t know Superman. Had the dog, but.  Speaker 11  Yeah.  Speaker 13  The Super Dog never had a crypto and never heard.  Peta  Of crypto, but I would say that that that was like the the film signalled what it was very big, very quickly from the beginning in terms of tone and kind of used crypto to do that. And and given I didn’t even watch the trailer for this, I was like, just like we’re going. To see the. New Superman Film Zero other information except for that one still that got released ages ago. I did not know what we were going internally. So so it took that for me to be like, ah, OK, this is where we are. This is what we’re expecting. That’s cool. But like, it didn’t bother me that I’ve never heard of crypto before. Didn’t bother me that I never heard of that particular version of the Green Lantern before, although the head did confuse, confuse me a lot.  Quinny  The volcano.  Peta  Well, maybe because I’m often watching these things with people who do more comics than me. I’m just very used to not getting most of the references and being like along. For the ride.  Quinny  Fair Tari in the chat, saying that the trailer makes it look serious. Yeah. Yeah, I can see that.  Peta  I mean, there’s definitely got serious elements and serious themes. It’s it’s got a serious take, but it it it has a lens of comedy that makes it. It’s very clear from the beginning and that’s what it is. I did find it totally tricky, to be honest. Like I enjoyed the silliness. I enjoyed the comedy, but. I couldn’t quite get my stride in for like. Good first half of the movie. Just totally I I I couldn’t. I couldn’t quite get my hooks into. Into. Where it was and I don’t know if it’s because it didn’t feel. Like if it was like the first episode of A. New TV series. It would have been perfect. There was just something tonally about it that didn’t that didn’t, or maybe it was structurally, that didn’t feel like cinema esque to me.  jill  There was a moment. In the first half of the film, where I did like, make a comment to myself where I was like, this doesn’t really feel like it has a lot of substance. Like it kind of struggles with the message that it wants to convey and. Being comedic like, I don’t know that any of the serious moments really. I don’t know, it held. You long enough to connect. If that makes sense.  Quinny  In in the first half or in. The whole film in.  jill  The whole film I I I there.  Quinny  Were a few moments where I I was really tuned into the series and the emotional like there are a couple of bits with his parents that I was just like, oh Jesus Christ, that that got me right in the in the fields. I.  jill  Don’t know, just some of the some of it just felt rushed. I’m like, it feels like. It’s trying to rush through. These serious beats, or these emotional moments to to get to the next comedy bit, I don’t know.  Quinny  It definitely felt like it was. It was rushing through stuff, agreed. Like there are, there are points where it sort of introduces a concept and then.  Speaker  Hmm.  Quinny  You kind of rushed through to the bit where it’s suddenly the next big. Crisis or whatever.  jill  Yeah.  Quinny  And yeah, it’s. It’s it. It feels like it’s at breakneck pace, kind of a lot of the way through.  jill  Yeah, I was tempted to actually try and catch it again before we chatted. I just to get another go at it.  Quinny  You’ve been very blocky.  Speaker 2  Hmm.  Dion  Look. I mean, I’m down for stuff. And I’m down for all of this thing. But I mean, my one take away that I had for it is ohh, it’s Superman movie. It’s not for me. Like I watched it and I was like, I was there for this. I saw all this just like, I mean, I thought there were. There were bits that that they did, which I really got and I really believed. I thought they, like, knocked it out of the park. I was like, I’m 100% here for certain things, like, certain interpersonal relationships, certain kind of scenes and ideas. I was like, that is. Like, that’s beautiful. You’ve really nailed it and it shows what you’re trying to do. And then there were other stuff there that I was like, why is this? Part. Of this, this doesn’t need to be part of this. I’m slightly confused about where this is all sitting in relation to. It seems like there was a Justice League, but there has been something that happens that has, I know, but this is I’m talking about how I interpreted stuff I was like. I feel like, oh, there was a Justice League for a while there, but now there’s not really a Justice League. But now there’s something else going on, like it was like, oh, we’re we’re going and there’s a world and it’s happening. And some things you won’t know because you haven’t. We haven’t explained, but we’re not going to. You’re just gonna move forward with this. And I was like, OK, that’s all right. I can sort of get on board with it. But it felt like I was being missing critical pieces of information. And then also like, oh, I don’t understand why these other characters are there. This seems like it’s all very haphazard. Some characters are completely underutilised.  Quinny  Examples.  Dion  Like a hot girl, I thought she was. She was pointless if you took her out. I don’t think anything would be missing. There’s no. And that’s a shame because you know, like you want every character. Yeah. Yeah. You want all that stuff to be there?  Quinny  Great actors, but also cool characters.  Dion  Yeah, and and. But to did it look cool in this? Nope. I can say distinctly that I looked at every time she was on screen. Like, ohh. It’s kind of dull. This is a bit better in Black, Adam. I know, right? OK. That was called man. Was it?  Speaker 9  That was.  Dion  One girl. Well, one of them was in. Wasn’t there a hawk girl in one or something?  Quinny  There was a hawk girl in legends of.  jill  Mine.  Quinny  Tomorrow. Sure. Yeah.  Dion  You don’t. I don’t do a lot of DC. Sorry. I wasn’t really a DC person, but I get. Some of the.  Quinny  Ideas. I realize now that I actually am more of a DPDC person than I.  Dion  I had to say.  Quinny  Thought I was.  Dion  I I was so angry when I walked out because one of the things I said quietly to Quinney was like, I’m so so pisssed off because I feel like I need to defend the Snyder verse slightly. And I was angry with my and I still am. I’m still kind of angry with this. I was like, ohh, there’s some things that Snyder verse did a lot better, but I really want to enjoy. The.  Speaker 2  Did.  Dion  This new one I just kind of went. I don’t I I don’t. You know, I think ultimately what I want is I don’t want a Superman movie with all these other people. I just want a Superman movie. Just give me Superman and Lois. And maybe legs loose or throw him in. Sure, he’s OK, but I don’t. I didn’t need the rest. Yeah, and it was.  Speaker 3  Hmm.  jill  Yeah, I will just say for the chat, those that haven’t seen it yet, we’re kind of thrown into the midst of an unfolding situation. There’s there’s not really a beginning, middle and end to it. It’s where where. Thrown into a situation. And it kind of never gets out of that for the whole film. We just always seem to be in a moment and there’s no explanation to, like, some of this stuff. And like I can. Make my way through the movie with plenty of context clues. That’s fine, but I would have loved to have had more moments completely fleshed out and.  Peta  Yeah, be a.  jill  Little bit more on. Board with what’s actually going on, especially like the relationship around Clark and his coworker. I don’t really feel like I got to see a lot of Clarke. Even Lois didn’t really feel fully formed for me and I really have one complaint about her character is that she did not do any journalism. She she was discovered some photos.  Speaker 3  Hmm.  Quinny  Yeah.  jill  By via somebody else and then was able to piece together what was actually happening. In the plot that Superman is trying to uncover. So for me, not a great lowest, even though I love Rachel Brosnahan.  Dion  It’s gonna it’s gonna make absolutely every single journalist who actually does work in research like this scream internally more.  jill  Yeah, but unfortunately I think a lot of modern journalism is just being lucky.  Quinny  Like this so.  Dion  Yeah. No, but like this, this is the thing because it’s kind of I just want to like put that out. It’s going literally. Entire crew of journalists is is together to how do they release the stories like great, we’ll do it on the fly and then they’re doing it like by editing on their. Phones and sending an e-mail and.  Quinny  No, that that is ******* great cause I actually saw a journalist say my favorite part of this movie was Jimmy Publishing the story through a CMS accurately.  Dion  Ohh. Yeah, yeah, sure. But I mean doing. It doing it while they’re running around going. Ohh yeah, it’s ready. Goes press send. Now we have to do it. I’m like.  jill  Yeah, go live.  Quinny  Yeah, yeah. And published too. Social publish.  Peta  In other news, Jimmy can get it apart.  Speaker 11  Like Oh yeah.  Quinny  Sorry.  Speaker 9  Oh.  Peta  Oh no, my. Life.  Quinny  Apparently, yeah. Jimmy lays more cable than anyone in this book. And. I don’t think anyone knows why.  Dion  Jimmy does, and Jimmy needs some.  Quinny  Yeah, Jim. Jimmy. Eat world. Ohh wow.  Dion  Jimmy. Jimmy gets it.  Quinny  Yeah, yeah, I I agree. I think like I I will come to the defense of the movie in a lot of cases because there’s a lot of it that I think is a lot of fun. And you know, the thing that I love about it is that it’s it’s it plays well to kids like the and the Minecraft.  Dion  Of movie.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  But how nice is it to to see a kid wanting to play with a Superman toy as opposed to if I could Minecraft toy anyway? But yeah, like that, that stuff with the the people in the daily Planet definitely feels a bit undercooked. Like you’ve got Cat Grant there who? Is, you know there you know what she does.  jill  Yeah. And then you got. Like a couple of other random reporters, I’m like.  Quinny  You got Steve Lombardo there.  jill  Yeah, why don’t.  Quinny  Who just seems like a ********. Yeah. And they were. Yeah. I love the relationship between Lois and Clark, though. Like, yeah, like.  Speaker  Hey.  jill  Yeah, well, what was it, Clark or was? It Superman, yes.  Dion  Yeah, I it’s, I said, like I really was on board with that. I thought the dynamic between Lois and Clark or Cael, like all of that. Was great. Like I went. Yep, they’re definitely cool, funny people who are trying to work out a relationship in this world that they’ve got around them. And I really got it. And I was like hats. Off to them. Amazing. Yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. And then there was other things. Like the **** is Mr. Terrific and why does. He have balls.  Speaker 9  They’re tears, fears, tears, fears.  Speaker 12  Yeah, man. Dion  Sure. I mean, you know and it’s it would be alright? Well, like what is the engineer? Why is she dangerous? I don’t.  Speaker  Oh, I’m so I don’t know. Yeah.  jill  They told you she has nanobots.  Dion  You know bots. Yeah, but I. Mean **** that. I mean, there are some. There are some annoying things about comic book movies because you know what? We were all annoyed by the giant sky beam and this one, thankfully, just let you all know there is no giant sky beam, no sky beam. There’s a giant.  jill  There is an underground Fight Club.  Dion  Yes, and the giant. And there’s a giant. There’s a giant crack.  Peta  Yeah.  Dion  Which is the same thing as the giant sky, but it has the same yeah.  Quinny  It’s the exact opposite, in fact.  Peta  It’s a giant wall destroying rift. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  Dion  And it’s made of bismuth. Yeah. What the **** is going on with that? It was just.  jill  Yeah.  Dion  Yes, and as until a joke that came later, which was? Oh, yes. Lex Luthor was just a businessman.  Speaker  No.  Dion  Gone. No, exactly. For people going the the the, the, the, the big Destructo thing that whatever is happening, it looks like it’s just macro views of bismuth for me.  jill  Yeah. Do we like Nicholas? Holt’s performance as like we thought.  Peta  I always like Nicholas Holt, so I’m I I I I can’t have that conversation.  Dion  Why not? He got paid $2,000,000. For this film.  Peta  Good for him. Is that all?  Dion  Yes, but do you know how much Superman got paid? The same as Lois, but less, but much less.  jill  A million million.  Dion  700 they 7 they got.  jill  Ohh really? He got the he got the pretty privilege he got. Ohh.  Dion  750 tags each. Yeah, but they also both within written into it that they they had a lower fee because they have a back end deal. So they’ve got.  jill  I want a back end deal please.  Dion  With who? With Nicholas Holt or with?  jill  No. Yeah, with my new boyfriend.  Dion  Torn to it.  Quinny  I love it. You, you ladies, you can. You can divide them up, Pete. You can have Nicholas Holt. Jill, you can have David Corus wet. I’ll take crypto, apparently.  jill  No.  Quinny  And I will pat him, I will pat him and love him and call him George.  Speaker 9  Yes.  Dion  Great. So it just leaves me with the Lois and I haven’t even watched the fabulous Mrs. Maisel.  Peta  Marvel, marvelous.  Speaker 5  See. Marvelous.  Peta  That did distract me because I didn’t realise she was lost because, as I said, I hadn’t looked into the movie at all and just the entire time my brain was like. But it’s the marvelous missus.  Quinny  That would be.  jill  Wow.  Peta  Not Louis.  Dion  Yes, yes.  Quinny  Yeah, you, you get #5 or as he’s better known, Gary.  Dion  Yeah. No, like 100% if I got to hang out with Alan Tudyk for the rest of my life, I would be down for that. I’d be like, yes, please give me.  Quinny  Mm-hmm.  Dion  Screen robot voice.  Quinny  Man, I did. I did love it. I looked up who the other.  Dion  He’s a very funny man.  Quinny  Voices of the robots.  Speaker 9  Ohh.  Quinny  Are. Yeah. So Superman robot number one is Michael Rooker.  Speaker 9  Oh, I was. Wondering why he was credited on who was he?  Quinny  Yep, and Superman robot #5IS. Pom clementia? Yeah. There’s, like, there are a bunch of little things in there, like, you know.  jill  Ah, nice. Just James Gunn’s friends.  Quinny  Yeah, James Gunn’s friends like Bradley Cooper gets to look in.  Speaker 9  So, so shocked to see.  jill  Bradley deal was so shocked that he didn’t. He convinced himself it wasn’t Bradley Cooper.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  I don’t think anyone.  Dion  Yeah, I thought it was to start with. I’m like ohh, that’s funny. And then later I’m like, no, that’s not him. No, it wasn’t him, right? It was someone else.  Quinny  One of my favorite stupid and and something OK, something that probably should be said if you love the 1978 movies like so Superman, Superman 2. Hmm. This has got a lot of love for those films, and that particular kind of style.  Dion  I I feel it’s got more in common with Superman 3 onwards.  Quinny  That two it has a bit of three and four in there as well. In fact, it’s got.  Dion  But I mean. Superman. Superman. A lot of Superman 4. Yeah, I mean, like I like Superman 1. I do not find that this is the same as Superman 1 because it had the stupidity of Superman 2 when he throws his *******. Symbol that wraps like. That’s the kind of somewhat stupid ideas that come out. You’re like, oh, bold choice, but I guess. I feel like that’s OK.  Quinny  Yeah. Like I I think this has got more in common with the the funny parts of Superman 1, like the the Lex Luthor and Otis and Miss Tessmacher, and then stuff like that. Yeah. You know, those kind of elements of Superman 1 and yeah, a lot of Superman four. I was actually really shocked at how much.  Dion  Yeah.  Quinny  Referencing there was to Superman 4, which is make no mistake, the worst of those Mens sure super men super anyway, but my favorite is there’s a character in there who’s Lex, who’s main thug character by the name of. Otis. So Otis, of course, being from the old films. But this new character is called Otis Berg, and that’s the name of the country that Otis wanted to have for himself in the. 78. I’m going to. Mr. Luthor, I’m going to have a place and. It’s gonna be called Eldersburg.  Dion  I mean, look, also I want to I want to put it because a few people in the chat haven’t watched it yet, which is fine. Yeah. It’s OK. There was a lot of dog in this. Like, I mean there’s there’s so much. There’s almost too much dog. I know.  Speaker 9  There’s a lot of dog, it’s got.  jill  The dog in it. Oh, come on.  Speaker 5  See look you.  Dion  Know look at this this whole thing. These were divisive.  jill  What are you, a cat person?  Dion  No, I.  Speaker 3  Yes.  Speaker 5  No, I’m a dog person, but I thought in this there was like there is a little bit too much dog.  Dion  In this and also the dog. Anyway, I can’t explain like the whole thing is I can’t say I I watched it and by the end I’m like it’s not really for me. I don’t. I don’t really, I’m not.  Speaker 5  Sure, I’m down.  Dion  For this, but I want to be is that does that? Does that make sense?  Quinny  You you went in?  Speaker 9  Of course, yeah.  Dion  I went in hoping that this would be kind of for me, you know, like ohh. Great. Maybe this will be a new Ave. to get into the DC cinematic world that they’re probably building and stuff like there’d be something to get and there’s like.  Speaker 5  Oh, I feel like this is absolutely not.  Dion  My kind of jam, but I hope it will.  Speaker  Me.  Dion  I I just wanted to see a movie about soup. Men. Not Superman. Conflicted ideologies of other stuff that people maybe are doing at him or or all this other stuff. And they’re very over complicated **** like, you know, ultimately at the heart, Lex Luthor is still the same. Thing that he was in the original. Gene Hackman dies.  Speaker 11  Yeah, I really think, yeah.  jill  I feel like Nicholas Holt was really channelling Gene Hackman, to be honest.  Quinny  Oh yeah, yeah, big.  Peta  You don’t feel more topical?  Quinny  Though ohh yeah. Yeah.  jill  I’m gonna say Superman has always been this topical.  Speaker 5  Oh yeah.  Peta  But in in terms of that particular character now feels particularly topical.  Speaker 3  Mm-hmm.  jill  I think, well, I think that they’ve just updated it to more modern things and I’m going to say stuff like social media and trolling and that kind of stuff. Because there’s, like a great gag throughout the the film about Superman not reading the comments.  Speaker 9  Because it’s just.  Speaker 3  Yeah.  jill  Just hateful. And then we find out later who is writing those comments. Which is quite humorous, but. It’s. Yeah, I think it’s always had that theme.  Peta  Yeah, I’m and I’m, I’m glad. I’m glad that. Ohh well, I was talking about Luther specifically as a specific character being a billionaire tech bro megalomaniac that.  Quinny  You’re you’re talking about Luther.  Peta  Actually, you know, literally trying to take over the world by helping to engage small countries.  Quinny  Yeah.  jill  I mean, I saw a really great headline that just said Superman is not work, it’s just we have real life super villains now. So that’s why it is so relatable. Yeah.  Peta  Yeah. But you’re right. I mean, all of these things have always had messages. So I was glad in this case that there was like strong messaging within the plot and within. Each of the characters. So even when I wasn’t quite catching up with the tone or like you said you, you kind of do get kind of thrown into the middle of the story and maybe that’s why I didn’t feel like I would catch up. There’s definitely not an origin story. But even when I, you know, was kind of like.  Speaker  Hmm.  Peta  I’m still not sure I’m feeling what this is. I was kind of appreciating that it was staying true to the genre in terms of its. In in in terms of its messaging and how topical it was being.  Quinny  Yeah. Look, I I’m a big fan of the fact that it it it didn’t stutter like when it’s saying hey, you know countries invading other countries as far and you know a fairly thinly. Veiled, like OK, completely thinly veiled thing saying, hey, this country that looks an awful lot like Israel this country. That looks an. Awful lot like Palestine. Yeah. This is a ****** situation. Wouldn’t it be nice if somebody could just, you know, go in and give the middle finger to? You know, literally the middle finger to an oppressive regime, you know, like. I can see where people are jumping around saying it’s woke. Absa, ******* lutely. It’s. It makes no bones about where it’s politics. Like, yeah.  Dion  The only problem is it’s like, that’s just, you know, the group of people who are complaining about this sort of stuff. I feel like, well, you’re the sort of people who, like, say that the Punisher is part of the police force. Like you just you’re not, actually.  Speaker 3  Hmm.  jill  Yeah, they don’t understand it like Superman has been woke since 1938, when he was created like, yeah.  Dion  Yeah, well, the 50s after the Japanese thing, but we won’t go there. Yeah.  Quinny  He was he was fighting the Klan in 1940.  Dion  True, true, you know. But there was a bit of problematic World War 2 stuff. So, but you know, hey. You can’t win them all, but yeah, look, it is a whole thing that. This is someone who’s trying to fight for the underdog, for the little guy to stand up to, to face down bullies and all that sort of stuff. And what happens when the bullies are the ones that are kind of running stuff. You know, then you can’t be surprised. I was like, ohh. Maybe we’re the bad guys like. Yes. That’s what we’re telling you. We’re actually telling you you’re doing **** things and stop it, because that’s not what we want to be.  Speaker 2  Yeah.  jill  That’s the part of this movie that, like, struck me the hardest was when, you know, bullies pile on when the heroes down like Superman has a moment where, you know the press and online is picking him apart and then that’s when you know, people decide to strike you when.  Speaker 3  Hmm.  jill  You’re at your week. Just and have made no secret about having endured bullying through high school, so it was a very resounding moment for me. I ******* hated it, but. Yeah, I think it’s still important to include stuff like that. Yeah. Yeah, it was a hard watch.  Dion  So this is what I say. Like when, when, what, when I was watching it and like some of the stuff it when it hits it. It hits. Really, really well and that’s.  jill  Yeah. Very yeah. Poignant stuff.  Dion  Yeah. And then, you know, other times it’ll go from that though, to a scene of a, an entire building collapsing over a particular thing. Or, you know, the fictional idea that Metropolis can be evacuated in about 20 minutes.  Peta  Yeah. I mean, suspension of disbelief. Dion, come.  Speaker 11  What the ****? On.  Dion  Excuse me. What? I I’m a logistics based person and even I know you can’t evacuate patrol. I mean Gotham. Different story. We can get people out, no problem. It’s basically Islam.  Peta  Yeah.  Quinny  What I did enjoy about that that sequence, though, was the difference between. Something like that sequence and Man of Steel where you’ve got like a Superman.  Peta  Which is why I did not like Man of Steel. I was like, I know nothing about Superman, but this don’t feel right.  Quinny  Like just having a a running battle through the streets and smashing through.  Peta  Just shocking a guy through buildings like just the entire battle was him throwing that guy through buildings that had people in them.  Quinny  There’s no. Yeah, yeah. And then at the end of it killing. You know which like is is one of those things that is just like ohh. Whereas in this one.  jill  Yeah, that lost me when he killed Zod. That lost me. I’m like, this is not.  Quinny  Superman. Yeah. And. And OK. He couldn’t. He couldn’t do it any other way. Yeah, he can. He’s Superman. And I love this one for, like, all of those moments where he’s like somebody, you know, does something to the Kaiju and he’s like, come on, man. I was going to put that in a. Like a space prison thing or.  Speaker  Whatever.  Speaker 9  Yeah, and like Superman does have his his little space zoo, like with all his funny little creatures.  Quinny  Yeah. Yeah. Exactly like. But I think to to make him and the the the level of good these and that that altruism where he will save a squirrel where he will, you know try and get a dog out of the way to keep it from being you know hurt whatever to make him work. You kind of have to place him in this almost silly space.  Speaker 13  Please.  Quinny  Like you know, this is this is a Superman who goes and talks to his funny robots and can fly into the heart of a black black hole like this. This is very, very much Frank quietly, kind of All Star Superman, which is, you know, really kind of leaning in on the Silver Age, the. The really kind of over the top stuff. But to do that, that’s why you can have him be so good. But then they ground that I I personally thought it was a ******* incredible kind of balancing act where they allowed him to be, you know, cartoonishly lovely.  Dion  Yeah.  Quinny  But then would ground it with something like when the the mayor and Par Kent first showed up. I was like, holy ****, this is a bit much, isn’t it? Like, you know.  jill  They were really giving adventures of Superman, Marion. Park Kent to be on.  Quinny  Hmm, yeah. But then by the end of it, I was like ohh, I’m fully invested in these sweet, lovely people.  Dion  Yeah. What do you mean? They’re just regular folk?  jill  Yeah, exactly.  Dion  Who were just trying to be good and try to like to think they’re not like Kevin Costner’s saying. No, no, don’t sacrifice it like I wouldn’t. I was.  Peta  Ohh ****.  jill  That movie just reminding me how much I ******* hated Man of Steel.  Quinny  Yeah. No, no. I don’t save me. Don’t reveal your secret. Oh, and by the way, maybe you should have let some.  Dion  No.  Quinny  Kids, kids die.  Dion  Yeah. Yeah, because that’s that’s how you get a Superman that kills people. Rather than this one.  Speaker 11  Anyway.  Dion  It’s like you raised me to be good, and then I found out that I wasn’t supposed to be good. Ohh, but no, I I’m still gonna be good.  jill  Hang on. All right. Any final thoughts before we rate?  Dion  Uh, no.  Quinny  I think I just waxed a little too lyrical then so I I think I’ve said as much as. I need to.  Dion  Great. OK.  Quinny  Clip.  Dion  Yes. Clip then right, mainly because it’s very late. Well done. Good call, Jill, I could join me to start the the clip then. Right. You want to go clip then? Right. Which one? Which one do you want? The you get out of here or the dog? The dog. Do you want to see the dog?  Speaker 2  Yes.  Speaker 9  It’s good for you. Dog. Dog. Ohh.  Speaker 10  So.  Quinny  What is this? Crypto.  Speaker 2  What the hey, dude, I I thought you destroyed the whole Superman robots. I thought I told you to keep an eye on him.  Speaker 10  We feed the canine, but he is unruly and he realizes we are not flesh and blood and couldn’t in our heart of hearts care less whether he lives or. Dies.  Speaker  Don’t eat it.  Speaker 13  Out, out, stop out. Stop. Crypto out. Out. Stop it. Stop, sit, sit, stay.  Dion  Oh, there we go. Yes, the very bad dog who is a good dog but a bad dog. Unless before dog. Yes, trying. Is James going trying to make us all Crypto Bros? OK, ratings hit the ratings. Go on.  Speaker 13  Kneel before dog.  Quinny  Oh.  Speaker  Oh.  Quinny  Rohan, didn’t it?  jill  I wanted to like it more than I did. I really, really wanted to like it more. Than I did.  Speaker 9  Oh, ****. You’re going to be harsh. I’m going to give it.  jill  A 65.  Speaker  Cool.  Speaker 9  Chill. I still.  jill  Had enjoyable moments. But there’s just something about it that didn’t click for me. I don’t ******* know what it was. I mean, I touched on some of the the moments a lot of out of context stuff, just not enough fleshing out of some characters. Like maybe it was doing too much. I.  Speaker 12  Hmm.  Dion  This is so strange.  jill  Don’t know.  Dion  It’s so strange because I was heading towards 60. I’m gonna give it 60. I know, right? I was heading towards 60, which I thought was like rough, but I was like, ohh true. Yeah, that’s the thing like.  Speaker 11  But. I liked it. I had fun it.  Speaker 9  Was just just.  jill  Not enough that did it. For me, yeah, that’s right. Can.  Dion  I go not for me. Like, you know, like.  jill  Even those beautiful dimples.  Dion  I don’t remember. I don’t remember that character.  Quinny  Yeah, beautiful dimples.  Dion  I feel like it’s a song like if. If I were to separate everything out and perhaps put it in a different context, I would enjoy each of those bits more. But yeah, together I just. I was like, oh, it was entertaining. But did I have a good time? With it I’m like fine. You know. If they announce Superman 2 tomorrow, would I be rushing out to see? I’m like depends. It’s gonna be more the same same. Anyway, there I did 60. That’s fine.  Quinny  Pete, where you got with it?  Peta  I’m not gonna. I’m gonna be a little bit kinder to it because, like, I’m genuinely so used to not knowing what’s going on or who anyone is that none of that stuff actually bothered me, and partly because I I appreciate the the messaging that it was going for, and there were lots of bits that I did appreciate, but. I just structurally totally couldn’t quite get my hooks in. To it, but it’s not to say that I wouldn’t recommend it. I still think it’s an entertaining film, so I’m just gonna say 70.  jill  Yeah, I agree with Brent. In the chat. They said it feel like it needs a second viewing to appreciate. And I did kind of want to see it again before we did this show, but didn’t get time. I do wanna watch it again.  Quinny  Hmm.  Speaker 2  Yeah.  Quinny  Yeah, I I do really want to begin.  Peta  And also need to see it twice to make it good. Probably like isn’t like yeah positive rating.  Speaker 11  I think.  Speaker 9  Yeah, yeah, yeah.  jill  So for now, 65 still sticks, yeah.  Speaker  Yeah.  Quinny  Look, I was talking to other person who saw it and had had a conversation online and they gave it a rating, but the.  Speaker 12  Was it a?  Dion  Is that a monkey?  Quinny  Yeah, yeah, yeah. The monkey called Waterworth, but he made a really interesting point, which is the film itself. And the way the film is made. Has some goofy moments, and like there are bits that don’t work, and it’s kind of clunky, and there are sequences that feel rushed and there are characters that feel underused and everything. So the film itself, I said, he said I’d break that about a 60. 5. But. The feeling that I got from it. Was much higher, you know, and there are moments that it hit its stride where you see, like, you know, the the there’s a moment where the the building comes crashing down and it’s just dust. And. You see the the silhouette of Superman rising above it, and I was like, oh **** me. That’s a beautiful shot. You know, and there were moments where he was talking to Luthor, where I was like, God, that’s a ******* rip. A piece of writing. And, you know, there were all these moments throughout that that made me feel a lot. Different about the film and. That’s the thing. Like I remember watching it going. People are gonna be really torn over this one. Turns out they weren’t. It’s made of ****** out of money. But. I think I was also looking at myself going I’m torn on this film like I can see that there are lots of bits that don’t work particularly well, but I’m having a ******* great time. And when it does it, it does it beautifully. So for me, somewhere around that 80 mark.  Speaker 11  Quinny  Like I’ve I’ve really enjoyed it. I think the. Like. It’s not hitting the ******* heights of of Logan, you know, it’s.  jill  Yeah. Didn’t blow my ****.  Speaker 12  Off Peter, how how are your tints? Are they still? Sorry.  Quinny  I am.  Peta  That’s the new rating system.  Dion  2020 I can mine are here still.  Quinny  So mine is still.  Speaker 12  My might.  Quinny  Might have gone.  jill  From now on I’m just writing 1-2 or zero like. That’s how many tips are left.  Dion  No.  Quinny  How they treat you? I like that we’ve been doing this for this many years and. We’ve only now come. To a rating.  Speaker 13  System the perfect all.  Dion  Agree on a perfect natural rating system.  jill  Renaming to the periodic tides of awesome.  Quinny  Wow.  Dion  You heard it here first. In this ultra wide for truth, justice, and. The tight way. How do we get here? Sorry, Kenny, you were talking very earnestly about lucky Superman and now.  Speaker  We’re talking about.  Quinny  No, I’m. I’m all down for.  Speaker 11  I said bring us back to reality.  Quinny  I I think I think I’ve said quite a lot. I talked about this on ABC Radio. I’ve I’ve, yeah, I’ve kind of kind of said my piece on this whole thing.  Dion  You did.  Speaker 5  Like Will, will.  Dion  I watch this Superman in another film or a a successive sequel. Yeah, I will. Like, I’ll come back and give it another go, but I really hope I get to see more. Uh. About like I, I would enjoy watching this Superman interact with other people, but I really just want to see a movie about Superman.  jill  I wanna see this Superman with a with with our touch, Batman.  Quinny  Our pet.  Dion  Our parts.  Quinny  That would be the most astonishing tonal whiplash.  jill  Yeah. It’s gonna be like gloomy boy and sunshine boyfriend. It’s gonna.  Dion  Well, we already know that Lobos Green Litton going ahead. So yeah, this Superman and.  jill  Be so great. Ohh God, just imagining a hot mess from Lobo.  Quinny  I mean. Yeah, but I’m also. There’s a part of me that kind of feels like that’s what Lobo needs to be. But also, I’m not sure he’s, like, getting his own film. I know he’s in Supergirl, but you know.  Dion  Well, who knows, I mean. Wait, we’re in spoiler section yet.  Quinny  I was gonna say should we move into spoiler section just briefly.  Dion  So that does mean changing the bulb. Yes, yes. It’s up now, OK. Right. So. How do we feel about that? And?  Quinny  So.  jill  Yeah, escape the chat if you don’t want spoilers.  Speaker  Quinny  True. Yeah. Yeah. Now, now is your time to exit and.  Dion  We don’t. We’re getting anything. This is what happens with all these films nowadays. It’s like well. You’ve just enjoyed that movie. I know we’re gonna do a.  Speaker 5  Little bit of taste or maybe something?  Quinny  Else you know, I like the fact that they chose not to to follow the forgotten the the way of Marvel doing it. Of yeah, doing it as a post credit sequence or anything, it was like. No, no, we’re gonna put it in the act. So.  Dion  Yeah, fair enough.  Quinny  Yep, thought that was nice. So yes, to anyone who hasn’t ******** off yet. Yeah. What did we think of Australia’s own Milly Alcock as the Super Party girl?  Speaker 9  Yeah, I was surprised to.  jill  See Supergirl appear in the movie I. One thing that escaped me before watching this, but.  Dion  It’s a. It’s a. It’s a bold.  jill  I kind of liked it.  Dion  Choice to introduce that character in that particular way.  Speaker 11  Yeah, I kind of liked.  jill  A A party girl? Supergirl.  Dion  Only cause she was going to a planet with a red sun.  Quinny  So she could get.  Speaker 11  You ****** **.  Speaker 5  But how did she get off the planet?  Quinny  The red well.  jill  Spaceship.  Speaker 13  Yeah.  Quinny  Just cause she she she’s red sun so she can get drunk. But I’m guessing that.  Dion  Too too many Buckleys aren’t there.  Quinny  Maybe she could still fly. Yeah, so interesting idea that I’ve they’ve said that a lot of the Supergirl film is gonna be vaguely based on the Supergirl woman of tomorrow. I think it’s called OK, which is an interesting idea that Supergirl.

Meanwhile, you got Clarke, who has been growing up with this, so it has a much better grounded understanding of it. I like that idea.  jill  Yeah, I would watch it. Yep.  Dion  And see, that’s a really interesting thing because you got that whole Superman movie with all those other characters and the different things that went on, and yet you’ve built the little world around that. See, This is why I kind of went like ohh Superman. I’m not sure about that movie. Why couldn’t have just been about Superman? Doesn’t he have his own trauma? Wasn’t all of his own traumas enough? You know, having to deal with? He didn’t need everyone else’s. Stuff. Yeah. Does that make sense?  Quinny  I think so, yeah.  Dion  Try not to discredit it.  Quinny  OK, so one of the big things that. Jimmy’z sexual prowess is what saves the day.  jill  Yeah.  Dion  No, but also.  Peta  But also Jimmy’z willingness to, like, use a woman.  Dion  I know, I know. Right. Like, you know, jimmy’z terrible ****, boy. Attitude saves the day.  Peta  Information.  Dion  Conflicting maybe?  jill  I think you’re missing the real hero of the story, and that’s Eve, Tess Markham.  Quinny  1000 percent 1000.  jill  Sure, she’s the one that took all of those photos with all of the crucial information. Mm-hmm.  Dion  Are you saying that selfies and influences do serve a purpose in life?  jill  Yeah, I wanna see the movie with Eve Tessmacher and Madison from Marvel.  Speaker 12  ohh  Dion  Talk about crisis on infinite Earths.  Quinny  I I do love that Miss Tessmacher is actually the person who has saved. Men, both films, she’s also the one that saves him in the 1970.  Dion  Well, yeah. There’s a nice little.  Quinny  8 film.  Dion

John Humphrey & Coy Jandreau dive into the epic conclusion of Crisis On Infinite Earths Part 3, the final chapter in DC's groundbreaking animated trilogy that reshapes the multiverse and paves the way for the future of the DC Animated Universe (DCAU). Featuring beloved characters like Superman (voiced by Darren Criss from Glee, The Assassination of Gianni Versace), Batman (Jensen Ackles from Supernatural, The Boys), Wonder Woman (Stana Katic from Castle), The Flash (Matt Bomer from White Collar), Green Lantern (Aldis Hodge from Black Adam), and John Constantine (Matt Ryan from Constantine TV series), this finale delivers emotional stakes, jaw-dropping battles, and a thrilling multiverse reset. We discuss standout moments like Superman rallying the surviving heroes, the final stand against the Anti-Monitor, the collapse and rebirth of the multiverse, and the touching character resolutions. With James Gunn's Superman movie on the horizon, this multiverse story echoes the upcoming themes of legacy and reconstruction in the DCU. We also spotlight the entire DCAU library for fans looking to explore more, including Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox, Justice League: War, Son of Batman, Batman vs. Robin, Justice League: Throne of Atlantis, Batman: Bad Blood, Justice League Dark, Teen Titans: The Judas Contract, Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay, The Death of Superman, Reign of the Supermen, Batman: Hush, Wonder Woman: Bloodlines, Justice League Dark: Apokolips War, and now Justice League: Crisis on Infinite Earths Parts 1, 2, & 3. As the DCU prepares for Superman (2025), The Brave and the Bold (Batman), Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Lanterns, Peacemaker Season 2, Paradise Lost, and The Authority, these animated films continue to lay the emotional and thematic groundwork for the future of DC storytelling.

In this lively and irreverent episode of The Middle of Culture, Peter and Eden build a tier list ranking 29 DC movies, from the highs of Christopher Reeve's iconic Superman to the lows of Black Adam, which earns a new category all its own: "F*** You Forever." Along the way, they debate the merits of Nolan's Batman trilogy, praise Margot Robbie while trashing her material, and wax poetic about Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman and the ridiculous joy of Catwoman (2004). The episode also dives into recent reads, including the emotionally devastating Adachi and Shimamura 99.9, with Eden delivering an impassioned recounting that might just wreck you. Add in some heat-dome weather talk, tech-death music recs, and plenty of hot takes, and you've got one of the most entertaining episodes yet.Episode Notes:Welcome BackEden shares weather misery and emotional tales of crying over Adachi and ShimamuraPeter updates on his son's relentless swim meet schedule and praises the dedication of teen athletesWhat We're IntoEden continues to love The Apothecary Diaries, now reading it aloud with CassiDeep emotional dive into Adachi and Shimamura 99.9, including:Cozy slice-of-life momentsPost-apocalyptic existentialismA bittersweet afterlife reunion that left Eden in tearsPeter shares his current reading on behavior change and playing Mario Kart with the kidsMetal music recs from Peter:Fallujah and Exocrine (tech-death highlights)Sigh's re-recording of Hangman's Hymn (2007 → 2025 edition)The Tier List Begins29 DC movies ranked from S-tier to a newly invented bottom tierImmediate praise for Superman: The Movie -- the only true S-tier filmBatman Begins and The Batman hold strong in A-tierThe Dark Knight lands at a controversial B, Dark Knight Rises flops to DSurprising affection for Catwoman bumps it up to C, while Suicide Squad, Justice League, and Black Adam are rightfully trashedEden passionately defends the joyfully chaotic Batman & Robin, despite its executionZack Snyder's Justice League makes it to B solely for its absurdityLego Batman wins hearts, even from Eden who has a Lego movie vendettaNew Tier Created: "F*** You Forever"Reserved exclusively for Black Adam, a film so despised that Peter stopped watching anything with The Rock afterwardWrap-UpOne clear conclusion: 1978's Superman stands unmatchedRichard Donner hailed as the god-tier director James Gunn can't touchGentle roast of MCU's decline vs DC's chaotic legacyCall to action: listeners encouraged to weigh in via feedback@themiddleofculture.com

Real Life Roundup  Let's address the elephant not in the room: Devon is dead. Well, not dead-dead. Just birthday-visit-family-IRL-dead. We pour one out for our absent co-host, and prepare for his resurrection next week. Meanwhile, Steven has been watching robots get wild. The Wild Robot, that is. The new animated flick has dropped (IMDB link), and Steven's verdict is in: heartwarming vibes, metal clanking emotions, and just enough kid-friendly existentialism to make you question whether your Roomba has feelings. Also, did you know Black Adam shows up in DC League of Super Pets? Steven does. And he's not okay about it. Then came Doom. And then came… more Doom. One minute Steven's a casual fan, next he's elbows-deep in lore breakdowns and watching two-hour YouTube essays on timeline chaos. Marines killing demons across dimensions? Say less. Just hand him the BFG and back away slowly. Oh—and he's forging now. He didn't elaborate. Just forging. Like, swords? Friendships? The future? Who knows. Steven contains multitudes. Ben, on the other hand, has been diving into his subconscious with dream journaling. The result? Vivid, borderline cinematic dreamscapes. Not terrifying at all. He's also been getting deep with the Waking Up app, based on the book by Sam Harris. (Here's the app link). Ben reports that it's good for mindfulness, bad for avoiding personal epiphanies. Use at your own risk. Future or Now Ben introduces us to Space to Bark, a bizarre, short dungeon crawler where you play as a first-person Dogman navigating an underground labyrinth. Created by ComputerJames, it features: Bark-based controls ([SPACE] to BARK!) Wobbly hand-drawn dog sprites Combat! Puzzles! Dogmen lore! Dogman95 isn't just a pup with a dream—he's a legend in training, guided by the sacred Dogmaiden. This is the kind of weird internet treasure we live for. Hat tip to Web Curios for digging this one up. Devon, once again, is astral projecting or off the grid. No one really knows. Steven had… nothing. Just an existential stare. Book Club (but not really) This week's book club has been canceled due to lack of effort. Blame Devon. Blame the Void. Blame our over-scheduled lives. Either way, we didn't read anything this week, and we're not sorry. Next week, however, we're diving into “Liking What You See: A Documentary” from Stories of Your Life and Others by Ted Chiang. It's a short story about beauty, perception, and what happens when you turn off the part of your brain that notices appearances. It's Chiang, so expect deep thoughts and possible feelings. That's it from us! Come back next week for more co-host resurrection, dream logic, robotic feelings, and maybe even a book. If you like what we do, bark into the void or support us on Patreon. Your choice.

Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Mo Amer (Mo, The Vagabond, Black Adam) is an award-winning comedian and actor. Mo joins the Armchair Expert to discuss feeling anxiety only when there's something unsettled at home, embracing the responsibility of being a comic that's also made a personally and culturally meaningful thing, and the best part of his new show being that he gets to introduce different layers to his story. Mo and Dax talk about his brilliant telecommunications engineer father relocating their family from Palestine to Kuwait, living through the Iraqi invasion that catalyzed the Gulf War, and creating a supportive Sandlot brotherhood that still exists to this day. Mo explains how his teacher encouraging him to do Shakespearean standup rocketed his entry into comedy, performing some of the greatest sets of his life returning to Iraqi war zones, and the emotional rediscovery of long-lost home movies of his family and childhood.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

In this powerful episode of Sorry, We Tried, we continue our emotionally trying quest to watch every DCEU movie in the lead-up to Superman's release this July! This week, after years of mocking it, we finally take a look at The Rock's magnum opus (citation needed), BLACK ADAM! In an ego trip to end all ego trips, The Rock tried to take over the entire DC franchise. It failed, miserably. But is the movie any good? Maybe? Kind of?Also in this episode, Harrison still hasn't named his trivia segment. Robby feels eternal gratitude. Spencer doesn't like Little Debbies. And the guys start to waver in their commitment to this dumb idea even though they're almost at the end.Website: sorrywetried.comMerch: bit.ly/swtmerchInstagram: @swtpodcastTwitter: @sorrywetriedEmail: thepodcastmen@gmail.comSend us a textSupport the show

JSA #57 / Hawkman #24 (2004)It's a double dose of #JSApril this week as we double up the conversation on the next two installments of the “Black Reign” story arc!In JSA, the team makes its way to Kahndaq, having to use air travel as opposed to magic travel because Nabu's being REAL cranky these days. Along the way, Power Girl calls Hawkman an ass, Black Adam bifurcates thru the JSA transport and all of Northwind's friends, with their bird talons and supple chests, look to make mincemeat of the heroes.Over in HAWKMAN, Doctor Fate seemingly turns heel as Nabu mucks up the JSA on the offensive. Hawkman clangs his own son on the head with his mace, Brainwave probes Shazam's teenage thoughts and Hourman is gutted….literally!All this plus Jen and Shawn offer a correction regarding Billy Batson's age and discuss Jason Todd's failed pro wrestling career.*** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:09:55 ***Promos: #JSAPRIL (https://fireandwaterpodcast.com/podcast/jsapril/) / THE MONITOR TAPES (http://themonitortapes.com)Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at worstcollectionever@gmail.comAlso, get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

JSA #56 (2004)Welcome to #JSApril! Worst Collection Ever is proud to participate in this celebration of JSA content by delivering our wicked takes on Geoff Johns's “Black Reign” saga!This issue plays out more like the first act of a promsing action flick, with Black Adam recruiting a crew of disenchanted, mayhem-seeking folks to help him liberate his home country of Kahndaq. We got the assassin Nemesis, a tatted-up Eclipso, a freshly-mutated Northwind, a conflicted Atom Smasher and Chester Bennington of Linkin Park aka Brainwave aka Robert Englund from the V mini-series. The scene gets bloody and emotional and there are cooling brains all over the place.We also spend a bit of time parsing out Northwind's creation so, if you new to the podcast, put a fun movie on for the kids and then hide under a blanket while you listen to this.All this plus Jen and Shawn buy a bunch of cheap trades, new DC Absolute offerings and the Hawk Tuah Girl runs afoul of the Dark Knight![NOTE — we (or specifically Shawn) refers to Northwind a bunch as “Hawkwind.” Hawkwind was a band that Lemmy was in before Motörhead - we are aware of this. We will most likely screw this up again, so there you go]*** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:22:14 ***Promo: #JSAPRIL (https://fireandwaterpodcast.com/podcast/jsapril/)Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at worstcollectionever@gmail.comAlso, get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.
