Happy Tuesday! With a new version of Superman hitting movie theaters, I was so happy to chat with one of my favorite Men of Steel this week - you guys, it's Brandon Routh! You know Brandon from playing Clark Kent/Superman in Superman Returns. He also played Daniel Shaw on Chuck, Todd Ingram in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and Ray Palmer/The Atom across the Berlanti Arrow Universe. We talk about this in the interview, but I feel like Brandon's version of Superman maybe didn't get the appreciation it deserved at the time. It was interesting to talk with him about living up to the legacy of Christopher Reeve and how it feels to watch David Corenswet wear the blue cape. We also discuss how Brandon was able to find closure by playing Superman again in the 2019 Arrowverse crossover event “Crisis on Infinite Earths.” I really enjoyed this conversation and Brandon is such a lovely, grounded guy. I can't wait to see him in his new film Ick, directed by one of my favorite directors Joseph Kahn (who also directed me in the short Power/Rangers). Be sure to stick around after the interview for the hindsight, straight from a hotel in Vancouver. I am up in Canada shooting this week, I've always got time for a little chat with my producer Jeph and some fan comments and questions from the Mail Sack!

In this episode of America on the Road, host Jack Nerad and co-host Chris Teague discuss the latest automotive news, including new tax breaks for car buyers, challenges faced by important global automakers, and exciting new vehicle releases from GMC and Mercedes-Benz. They also provide in-depth reviews of the 2025 Kia K4 sedan and the 2025 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance, highlighting their features and performance. In this week's road test segment, host Jack Nerad discovers the 2025 Lexus IS 500 F Sport Performance to be a breath of fresh air in today's highly homogenized and shrinking sedan market. With a 472-horsepower naturally aspirated V8 under its hood, this unassumingly styled rear-wheel-drive sedan blends old-school performance with modern tech and refinement. Aggressively tuned for back-road thrills yet wrapped in a sleek, understated four-door package, the IS 500 offers a visceral experience, enhanced by high-end features like heated/ventilated sport seats, a Mark Levinson sound system, and a refined tech suite. And you'll never guess the cars Jack Nerad compares it to. Also in the spotlight this week is Chris Teague's test of the all-new 2025 Kia K4, a compact sedan aiming to shake up the segment with bold styling and surprising tech. Replacing the outgoing and under-rated Forte, the K4 pulls into the lot with a surprisingly upscale interior, available turbocharged power, and Kia's latest infotainment platform. Chris dives into how it drives, how it stacks up against rivals like the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla, and whether Kia has another budget-friendly hit on its hands. This episode's special guest is Anthony Monaco, marketing lead for Ram heavy-duty trucks. Monaco joins the show to discuss exciting and affordable new product updates from Ram, shedding light on where the brand is heading and what consumers can expect from the latest heavy-duty lineup. In the news, a sweeping new federal tax deduction could shake up the auto financing world. Under the “Big, Beautiful Bill” signed by President Trump, qualifying buyers can now deduct up to $10,000 in interest on loans for U.S.-assembled vehicles. The catch? Income caps apply, leases are excluded, and not every car will qualify. The IRS will release a list of eligible models, and VIN documentation will be required. Is it a good idea? We'll have details. Meanwhile, three major global automakers—Stellantis, Porsche, and Jaguar Land Rover—are navigating rocky terrain. Stellantis reported a staggering $2.7 billion loss, tied to new tariffs and slumping sales, while Porsche is slashing costs amid weakening EV demand. JLR, reeling from a 15% sales dip and delayed EV rollouts, is trimming jobs and recalibrating its strategy. Two big product debuts also made headlines. GMC launched the 2026 Acadia Denali Ultimate, pushing deeper into luxury with full-leather interiors, Super Cruise hands-free driving, and a 16-speaker Bose system. At the same time, Mercedes-Benz revealed its next-gen CLA, available first in battery-electric and then hybrid form. The EV variant boasts nearly 500 miles of range and impresively fast charging, while the hybrids promise efficiency and flexibility for mainstream buyers. This episode also highlights the America on the Road Made in America Tour, which showcases vehicles and other products built in the U.S., tying in with new buyer incentives and celebrating American ingenuity and homegrown manufacturing. We close the show with a listener question from Mitchell in Boulder, Colorado, who says, “I want to buy a new car, but I need some help in making the deal. How much should I negotiate off the MSRP on a new car?” Jack and Chris share advice on negotiation strategy, dealer incentives, and the current state of new car pricing.

No, it's Verbal Diorama's Heroes Through the Decades miniseries, continuing into the 1970s!Whether you know him as Clark Kent, Kal-El, the Man of Steel, the Man of Tomorrow, or just as Superman, that famous tights-and-cape combo emblazoned with the S on his chest is a symbol of a lot of things:Hope, courage, freedom, love... truth, justice and the American way, and a movie with a rich history in comic books, that was made in part because of Zorro, and in another due to 1966's Batman.The late Christopher Reeve is perfectly cast as both Clark Kent and Superman, in a landmark superhero film by the late Richard Donner. Donner's personality clashes with father-and-son producers Alexander and Ilya Salkind led to him being fired from Superman II, despite him completing reportedly 75% of the sequel....This episode was originally released on 5th May 2022Mentioned in this episode:From the ArchiveThere's no new episode this week, so I thought you might be interested in revisiting this slightly older, but no less brilliant episode.

Send us a textChristopher Reeve soars into cinema history in 1978's "Superman," a groundbreaking film that established the superhero blockbuster format we know today. Before Marvel, before Batman's dark reinvention, this was the movie that convinced audiences a man could truly fly.What makes this film so captivating decades later isn't just its place in history, but how it fearlessly embraces both cosmic scale and intimate humanity. From the crystalline landscapes of Krypton to the bustling newsroom of the Daily Planet, the film takes viewers on a journey that feels both alien and deeply familiar. Reeve's performance remains the gold standard for superhero portrayals - his ability to transform between the regal Man of Steel and the bumbling Clark Kent with nothing more than posture, voice, and confidence is a masterclass in acting that later Superman actors still measure themselves against.The film's vintage charm extends to its supporting cast and villainous plot. Margot Kidder's Lois Lane balances professional ambition with romantic vulnerability, while Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor occupies an underground lair beneath Grand Central Station that ranks among cinema's most memorable villain headquarters. The special effects, revolutionary for their time, might seem quaint today but still evoke wonder in their creativity and ambition. When Superman reverses Earth's rotation to turn back time - a moment of pure comic book logic - the film confidently embraces its fantastical nature rather than apologizing for it.Superman (1978) wasn't constrained by established superhero formulas because it was creating them. This freedom allowed for creative choices that modern superhero films might shy away from, yet they contribute to the film's enduring charm. Want to understand why superhero films dominate today's box office? Look no further than this pioneering classic that made us all believe a man could fly. Watch (or rewatch) it today and experience the birth of a genre that would eventually reshape cinema itself.Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbASupport the show

Since his Silver Age debut, Pete has served many roles: noble, silent protector of Clark's secret; off-panel victim of Toyman & Prankster; husband to Lana & father to Clark Peter Ross; Vice President of the United States alongside Lex Luthor; and more. With few exceptions, Pete's value as a character has rarely been met by the stories that feature him, and the time has come to speak up for Pete and the place he deserves to occupy in the Superman mythology.Support the show and receive exclusive podcast content at Patreon.com/AnthonyDesiato, including the spinoff podcasts BEYOND METROPOLIS and DIGGING FOR JUSTICE!Visit BCW Supplies and use promo code FSP to save 10% on your next order of comics supplies.

Der Film kombiniert klassische Superhelden-Elemente mit modernen politischen Themen und einem frischen Look. 2.

Mit Jens Albinus, Homa Faghiri und Pit Bukowski erleben wir ein groteskes Triptychon über Verantwortung und Glaube. 3. Oxana – Mein Leben für Freiheit (2024) Charlène Faviers Biopic über FEMEN-Mitgründerin Oksana Schatschko ist ein intensives Porträt einer Aktivistin, Künstlerin und Rebellin. Albina Korzh brilliert in der Hauptrolle. Der Film zeigt Oxanas Weg von der Ikonenmalerei zur politischen Provokation – bis zu ihrem tragischen Ende im Pariser Exil. 4. Happy Gilmore 2 (2025) Adam Sandler kehrt zurück als Happy Gilmore! Die Netflix-Komödie ist vollgepackt mit Cameos von Stars wie Ben Stiller, Bad Bunny, Travis Kelce und Eminem. Regie führt Kyle Newacheck. Happy kämpft um die Ballettausbildung seiner Tochter – und gegen eine neue Generation von Golf-Champions. 5.

Send us a textWhat defines a hero? Not the powers they possess, but the choices they make when facing impossible situations. Superman 2025 stands as a testament to this fundamental truth, reintroducing audiences to a Man of Steel whose greatest strength isn't his ability to fly or lift mountains, but his unwavering compassion and moral clarity.While exploring James Gunn's fresh vision for Superman, we dive deep into what makes this interpretation both faithful to Superman's 85-year legacy and boldly innovative. David Corenswet breathes new life into both Clark Kent and Superman, crafting distinct personalities that somehow feel like two sides of the same genuine heart. His Kansas farm boy humility shines through even when he's soaring above Metropolis, creating a Superman whose power is matched only by his humanity.Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane emerges as the perfect counterpart - fierce, brilliant, and unwavering in her commitment to truth. Their chemistry crackles with authenticity, particularly during that electrifying interview scene where professional integrity clashes with personal connection. We dissect how this relationship anchors the film, giving Superman something worth protecting beyond abstract ideals.The film's most controversial element - the revelation about Superman's original purpose on Earth - transforms from potential stumbling block to profound statement about nurture versus nature. Superman isn't good because he was sent to Earth to be a savior; he's good because Jonathan and Martha Kent raised him with values that transcend his alien origins. His heroism becomes more meaningful precisely because it's a choice, not a destiny.From Nicholas Hoult's calculating Lex Luthor to Nathan Fillion's hilariously accurate Guy Gardner, we celebrate how the supporting cast enriches this world without overshadowing its protagonist. And of course, we couldn't resist gushing over Krypto the Superdog, whose presence captures the perfect balance of comic book whimsy and emotional resonance that defines this film.Whether you're a lifelong Superman fan or newcomer to the character, join us as we examine why Superman 2025 succeeds by understanding that what makes Superman super has never been the "powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men," but rather his fundamentally human heart. After all, anyone can save the world - but it takes someone special to care about saving one scared, not-very-good dog.Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbASupport the show

First we jump into James Gunn's recently released Superman film and get Mark's takes, specifically on the approach to Jor-El and Lara's portrayal and whether the movie successfully captures the optimism that defines the character. The core of the conversation centers around Mark's "dream project," New History of the DC Universe, and the challenges of weaving 90 years of DC continuity into one cohesive timeline. Mark also talks about his current work on Action Comics, where he's diving into Clark Kent's teenage years with artist Skylar Patridge. Finally, we delve into his ongoing Batman/Superman: World's Finest series, revealing his approach to keeping the iconic partnership fresh and what makes this collaboration stand out from previous team-ups. New History of the DC Universe #2 hits stores this Wednesday, July 23.

But can a new Clark Kent make us believe a man can fly again? Ian and Stew suit up to explore whether this fresh take brings truth, justice, and cinematic clarity—or if it's just another reboot weighed down by origin story fatigue. Does Superman (2025) soar with the charm and optimism fans have been craving, or does it buckle under the pressure of launching an entire universe? The lads dig into David Corenswet's debut as the Last Son of Krypton, the tone shift from past incarnations, and whether Gunn balances heroism with humanity.

Superman marks a welcome shift from the cynicism of recent superhero films, replacing the wearisome “men are bad” narrative with something timeless and uplifting—a hero who reflects God-given masculine virtues without shame or irony. At its core, this film offers more than entertainment; it offers hope rooted in moral clarity. James Gunn's direction stands out not only for its thrilling storytelling, but also for its ability to highlight strong female characters without caving to the ideological noise that has plagued modern franchises.Join James and Jeremiah from what sets this portrayal of women apart is the depth of the writing. Lois Lane is portrayed as courageous, intelligent, and resilient, yet her strength is coupled with humility and vulnerability—qualities that reflect a biblical understanding of strength under control. She is no caricature, but rather a fully realized character who complements rather than competes with the male lead. It's a refreshing return to the kind of storytelling that gave us enduring figures like Princess Leia and Sarah Connor—women who were strong, not in spite of femininity, but through it.At the heart of the film is Superman's inner conflict—his yearning to live as humble Clark Kent while carrying the enormous responsibility of his supernatural calling. This echoes the Christian journey: living as ordinary people in a fallen world, while bearing the image of a holy and eternal God. One scene in particular resonates on a spiritual level—when Superman opens his heart to his earthly father, basking in the sun's healing rays. It mirrors the experience of confession and repentance before our Heavenly Father, where light brings both conviction and restoration. "It's not your past that's important,” his father says, “it's your choices that make you who you are." A clear allusion to redemption and free will—core tenets of Christian theology.This tension between our temporal struggles and divine purpose speaks to a deeper truth: we are created not for mediocrity, but for greatness rooted in God's plan. Superman's desire to save, to sacrifice, and to rise above is a reflection of the imago Dei—the image of God within us. The film's striking visual of chasms opening in reality, caused by Lex Luthor's moral decay, powerfully illustrates how sin fractures identity, purpose, and the created order.Looking for a superhero film that entertains without compromising truth? Superman delivers humor, action, and soul-stirring insight. It reminds us that strength and virtue are not outdated—they're eternal.
