Writing, executive producing, and showrunning partners Eugenie Ross-Leming and Brad Buckner bravely venture back into 90s Metropolis to talk all things Lois & Clark! From haircuts to coordinating an alien invasion on a television budget, Eugenie and Brad were involved in every aspect of the show's third and fourth seasons and have a lifetime's worth of stories to show for it. Not to mention the rest of their television journey, which includes cameos from Norman Lear, Sam and Dean Winchester, and possibly a performing seal or two.

In which the Mister joins me in reviewing SUPERMAN (2025), from writer/director James Gunn, based on characters created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster.  The film dives into the complexities of Clark Kent's (David Corenswet) dual life, exploring his struggle to reconcile his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as he navigates his role as both a journalist and the Man of Steel. The film sees Superman facing unintended consequences after intervening in an international conflict, leading to a tarnished reputation and presenting his arch-nemesis Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) with an opportunity to exploit the situation. Ultimately, Superman must win back public trust and confront Luthor's schemes with the help of his colleagues at the Daily Planet and his loyal super-dog, Krypto.  The film clocks in at 2 h and 9 m, is rated PG-13 and is still in theaters.  Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.#Superman #NationalAlliedPublications #JerrySiegel #JoeShuster #DCComics #JamesGunn #DavidCorenswet #Superman #AlanTudyk #Gary #GraceChan #SupermanRobot12 #BradleyCooper #JorEl #AngelaSarafyan #Lara #MichaelRooker #SupermanRobot1 #PomKlementieff #SupermanRobot5 #MaríaGabrielaDeFaría #TheEngineer #SaraSampaio #EveTeschmacher #StephenBlackehart #SydneyHappersen #GiovannieCruz #CherylKimble#NicholasHoult #LexLuthor #WendellPierce #PerryWhite#BeckBennett #SteveLombard #NevaHowell #Ma Kent#PruittTaylorVince #PaKent #MikaelaHoover #CatGrant#SkylerGisondo #JimmyOlsen #RachelBrosnahan #LoisLane#ChristopherMcDonald #RonTroupe #ZlatkoBuric #VasilGhurkos #FrankGrillo #RickFlagSr #EdiGathegi #MrTerrific #NathanFillion #GuyGardner #IsabelaMerced #Hawkgirl #SeanGunn #MaxwellLord #Superhero #Comics #ComicCharacter #Superman2025 #ActionEpic #AdventureEpic #SciFiEpic #Action #Adventure #SciFi  @WarnerBros  #FridayFamilyFilmNightOpening intro music: GOAT by Wayne Jones, courtesy of YouTube Audio Library

What's the "J.S.A."?That's right nerds, it's time for the golden age heroes to make their Smallville debut. After the Star-Spangled Kid and the Sandman are murdered by a villain named "The Icicle", the gang gets together in order to find out why he is picking off retired heroes one-by-one. As Oliver pursues a high school girl, Clark and Chloe bust out the Daily Planet archives to learn that this team of heroes were framed for crimes they never committed. That team's name is The Justice Society of America. Wesley MacInnes, Jim Shield, Ken Lawson, Britt Irvin, Michael Shanks and Brent Stait make special guest appearances as DC Comics original characters Cameron Mahkent ("The Icicle"), Sylvester Pemberton ("Star-Spangled Kid"), Wesley Dodds ("Sandman"), Courtney Whitmore ("Stargirl"), Carter Hall ("Hawkman") and Kent Nelson ("Dr. Fate"), respectively. Other DC Comics character cameos include Ted Grant ("Wildcat"), Al Pratt ("The Atom"), Jay Garrick ("The Flash"), Abigail Hunkel ("Red Tornado") and Alan Scott ("Green Lantern").

Bienvenue pour cette 10ᵉ saison de ComicsDiscovery ! Déjà 10 ans, le temps passe vite quand on parle d'un sujet que l'on aime. Pour entamer cette saison spéciale, nous recevons avec joie l'équipe de Geek Squadron pour discuter de Superman par James Gunn. SupermanL'Homme d'Acier est un personnage dont on vous a beaucoup parlé lors de la dernière saison avec une émission entièrement dédiée à lui, que vous pouvez retrouver en suivant ce lien : ComicsDiscovery S09E38 : Superman. Symbole d'espoir, le retour du personnage était très attendu. Dans ce long métrage, Superman est confronté à un terrible ennemi qui le met à terre. Rejeté par les humains à la suite de son intervention lors d'un conflit et de la diffusion d'informations sensibles, il est perdu. Il doit apprendre à se connaître et savoir qui il est : l'homme élevé dans une ferme ou l'étranger envoyé sur Terre pour la conquérir. Le parcours d'un héros légendaireLe héros, créé en 1933 par deux jeunes immigrants juifs, Joe Shuster et Jerry Siegel, a déjà connu de multiples adaptations. D'abord à la radio, puis dans des serials, avant de passer au cinéma avec Richard Donner et Christopher Reeve dans la peau du journaliste du Daily Planet. Il a ensuite eu droit à plusieurs séries télé, dont la merveilleuse série animée Superman : L'Ange de Metropolis, conçue par l'équipe de Bruce Timm et Paul Dini. Viennent ensuite Les Nouvelles Aventures de Lois & Clark et Smallville, avant que le personnage ne soit revisité par Zach Snyder dans sa version de L'Homme d'Acier, plus sombre et moderne. Le reboot du DC UniverseJames Gunn a pris les rênes de l'univers cinématographique DC en plein chaos : des films qui ne marchaient pas au box-office, une critique peu convaincue, une mauvaise communication et scandale sur scandale. Son Superman marque le début d'un reboot plus que nécessaire. Il a retravaillé la direction de la marque et mis en place différents projets. Il était important pour l'avenir des productions DC que le long métrage séduise le public et la critique. Sorti dans un contexte compliqué aux USA, le film réussit à tirer son épingle du jeu malgré les différentes critiques. Nous faisons le point dans cette émission et partageons avec vous notre ressenti. Et vous ? Quel est votre avis sur ce nouveau Superman ? Dites-nous en commentaire, avec bienveillance et respect, ce que vous en avez pensé. Pour cette émission, nous avons eu la chance d'être accompagnés par l'équipe de Geek Squadron, un collectif qui, comme nous, s'est réuni pour échanger autour de leur amour de la pop culture. Ensemble, elles parlent surtout de Star Wars, de Disney et de nombreux autres sujets passionnants. Vous pouvez les retrouver sur leur chaîne YouTube :www.youtube.com/@geek_squadron Ainsi qu'en podcast :https://geeksquadron.lepodcast.fr/ Elles avaient également invité un de leurs amis qui les accompagne souvent dans leurs émissions, Sylvain, podcasteur pour Star Wars en Direct et critique cinéma pour le site Gamalive.

In this episode, we dive deep into Ozzy Osbourne's “Back to the Beginning” final concert and discuss whether Sammy Hagar was the low point of the show.Do the old Marvel movies still hold up, or were they just great at the time? We debate how the newer films lean too heavily on cheap pops and flashy money shots. Falcon and The Winter Soldier has aged well, but its follow-ups felt forced.We also get into She-Hulk, Daredevil, Thunderbolts, and Captain America: New World Order, with a special focus on Ironheart's mishandling by Disney and whether her appearance in Wakanda Forever was a misstep.We revisit how some older CGI still holds up better than today's, and compare it to the over-reliance on CGI in modern films. Finally, we round things off with a look at the new Superman movie, highlighting all the things it got right — from casting, tone, and hopefulness to Lex Luthor, Krypto, and the Daily Planet.

Over the course of eight years in the cast of ‘Saturday Night Live,' Beck Bennett performed comedy with more than 150 celebrity hosts. But no one—not even Donald Trump himself—was as difficult to work with as Elon Musk. In the 300th episode of The Last Laugh, Bennett looks back on his SNL audition, discusses what it was like to join the show with one of his oldest friends Kyle Mooney (with whom he just launched his own new podcast), and reveals exactly what made Musk a more “offensive” collaborator than Trump. He explains how he knows Vladimir Putin liked his shirtless impression a lot more than Trump liked Alec Baldwin's portrayal, how he knew it was finally time to leave the show, and how Lorne Michaels nearly talked him into staying. Finally, Bennett talks about the two very different movies he appears in this summer: voicing a cartoon dog in the raunchy Netflix movie ‘Fixed' and joining the DC cinematic universe as The Daily Planet's Steve Lombard in ‘Superman.'Follow Beck Bennett on Instagram @beckbennettFollow Matt Wilstein on Bluesky @mattwilstein Follow The Last Laugh on Instagram @lastlaughpodHighlights from this episode and others at The Daily Beast Hosted on Acast.

On this episode of The Post Credits, we're suiting up to review James Gunn's Superman (2025) — the first official chapter in the new DCU. With David Corenswet donning the cape and Rachel Brosnahan as a sharp, fearless Lois Lane, the question is: did Gunn's vision soar, or just take a cautious first flight?We're breaking down the performances, the tone, the villains, the Daily Planet vibes, and all the connective tissue (hello, Guy Gardner!) that might shape the DCU moving forward.

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

Nick, the Gorehound, and Cuz are back and ready to talk more Superman! This week, they discuss Superman III and Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. Y'know, the bad ones. And...do two of them actually like these better than I and II?

Hij is opgegroeid in Kansas, liefdevol opgevoed als weeskind. Ontwikkelt zich tot een voorbeeldige journalist bij de Daily Planet, verdediger van fatsoen en eerlijkheid. In zijn vrije tijd is hij de bovennatuurlijke redder van Amerika en omstreken, plus de gehele Melkweg. Kortom: Superman. De nieuwste film over de 87 jaar geleden ‘geboren’ held staat met stip op nummer één van best bezochte films. Dit tot ongenoegen van een deel van de harde kern van MAGA. Superman is geboren op de planeet Krypto, die op het punt van vernietiging staat. Zijn ouders sturen hem naar zijn voorbeeldige stiefouders op de planeet Aarde. Maar wacht even, dan is Superman dus geen Amerikaan, maar een buitenlandse – of buitenaardse – vluchteling, en dus ook een immigrant. Wat héét: hij is een illegale vreemdeling, en een die in het dagelijks leven werkt voor een linkse krant. Dat gaat zomaar niet. Een schermvullende kop op Fox News luidde: ‘Superwoke’. Voormalig Trump-adviseur Kellyanne Conway zegt: ‘We gaan niet naar de bioscoop om de les te worden gelezen en iemands ideologie over ons uitgestort te krijgen’. De bedenkers van de Superman-stripverhalen, Jerry Siegel en Joe Shuster waren kinderen van uit nazi-Duitsland gevluchte immigranten, en zagen Amerika als het beloofde land, toen ze in 1938 hun eerste album publiceerden. Op een van hun tekeningen zegt Superman: ‘Als je ooit iemand tegen een klasgenoot of wie dan ook iets hoort zeggen over zijn godsdienst, ras of afkomst, laat het dan niet lopen en vertel hem dat dit soort praatjes on-Amerikaans zijn’. Een snuggere snoeshaan op het Witte Huis bedacht een poster waarop Trump staat als ‘de man van staal’, zoals Superman wordt genoemd. Het ministerie van Binnenlandse Veiligheid vond dat maar niks en haalde het beroemde silhouetplaatje van stal van ET op de fiets. Met als tekst: ‘Go home’. Het is dat hij zo sterk is, anders zou de grenspolitie ICE Superman in de boeien slaan en deporteren. Niet naar Krypto, want dat bestaat niet meer, maar naar El Salvador, of zo. Of Guantanamo Bay. Hoewel hij dan waarschijnlijk even door de atmosfeer naar het Witte Huis vliegt om de kwajongen mee te nemen die het daar voor het zeggen heeft. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We venture back to Metropolis as we finally get to discuss the DC films revival with James Gunn's take on Superman. Journey with us as we discuss this new iteration of the Man of Steel played by David Corenswet along with all the unique side characters they decide to introduce. Is this the fresh restart fans have been hoping for or does the film try to do too much? So pour a drink, grab a copy of the Daily Planet, and get ready to see if Superman can still fly. Cheers!

Episode SummaryThis week on The Middle of Culture, Peter and Eden dive into Superman 2025—a movie they both expected to disappoint, but ultimately left them grinning. They discuss why this version of Superman finally understands the character, their favorite portrayals (hello, Nicholas Hoult's Lex), and the messy charm of a movie that somehow pulls off being packed without tipping over. Along the way, they touch on camping with CPAPs, ADHD and habit formation, cello-driven metal, and why The Office still sucks. It's a jam-packed, joyful takedown and celebration of what might be DC's best swing in years.Episode NotesPeter and Eden open with summer updates, including swim meets and car camping (aka “carmping”)Eden reviews the anime adaptation of City, praising Kyoto Animation's hand-drawn excellenceDiscussion on ADHD and the reality of habit formation—Peter shares how journaling became a daily routine, while Eden relies on yelling reminder appsPeter recommends cello virtuoso Raphael Weinroth-Browne and shares excitement over new music from Paradise LostA shared hatred of The Office and a love for TaskmasterPeter recounts his guest appearance on The Incomparable's “Random Pursuit” episodeMain discussion: Superman 2025Initial low expectations gave way to genuine enjoymentBoth agree: it finally gets Superman right—his compassion, moral compass, and fallibilityHighlights include Nicholas Hoult's intense, bitter Lex Luthor and Brosnahan's sharp Lois LaneCritiques: missing Clark Kent moments, underused Daily Planet characters, weak soundtrackPraise for standout moments like the Kansas farm scene and Mr. Terrific's mysterious coolFun digs into comics lore with Guy Gardner, Hawk Girl, and Jimmy Olsen's inexplicable ladykiller statusComparison to Thunderbolts (still the best superhero movie of the year so far) and some worry over Fantastic FourWrap-up with Eden ready to rewatch Superman 1978 and wishing this one had a better nameLinks:Uncanny Magazine Year 12 KickstarterRandom Pursuit on The Incomparable Game Show

In this episode we talk about what is no doubt the most anticipated movie of 2025, James Gunn's “Superman.” Gunn is more known for his quirky movies with unusual characters engaged in constant frenetic action. This time he takes on the most well-known superhero, the first son of Krypton. No small feat. Can he make everyone with their own idea of who they think Superman should be happy? In this latest Superman movie, Superman (David Corenswet) has been protecting Earth for a few years along with working at the Daily Planet with Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan.) In the meantime, his arch nemesis Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) is hatching plans with the government to rationalize taking Superman out. Superman just might need all the help he can get and he might get that from the Justice Gang with Green Lantern, Mr. Terrific and Hawk Girl. Also, we can't forget Superman's furry friend, Krypto. Can Superman survive what Lex and the government got coming for him? Is it worth going to the theater to find out?

The Atom Man is in Metropolis! The Nazi agent with kryptonite in his veins gets a job at the Daily Planet as reporter "Henry Miller," and the Man of Steel is about to meet his greatest and deadliest enemy. Superman and the Atom Man have their first titanic battle as this epic story continues in these chapters that originally aired on Mutual between October 22 and November 2, 1945.

28 Days Later: The Smallville EditionSeems like the writers were thin on story ideas this time around and brought us Thirst, Pt. II. A random case of kryptonite rabies has hit Metropolis, but looks like instead of vampires we get horny zombies. Clark continues his hero work while working at the Daily Planet. Oliver is still moping for no reason, and manages to let Lois turn into a zombie. Tess infects almost half the city. Chloe, who is still a villain, teams up with Emil to find a cure. Major Zod hates being left out of world-conquering plans.Enjoy the show and, as always, leave those FIVE STARS!

If you frequent Collider Ladies Night, you're well aware that I'm a big proponent of filmmaking families — frequent collaborators who stick together and also add new additions to the family every step of the way. Mike Flanagan's “Flanafamily” is a big one, and it's a topic that keeps popping up with Molly Gordon, who's recently found great success collaborating with close friends on films like Theater Camp and Oh, Hi. Yet another top-tier filmmaking family? The one James Gunn started and continues to thrive with, and that family has a member you're going to be seeing a whole of in the coming weeks, months and years. It's Mikaela Hoover.In celebration of the release of Superman, in which Hoover plays Daily Planet gossip columnist Cat Grant, she took the time to swing by the Collider Ladies Night studio and recap her journey to joining three of the biggest franchises of all time - DC, Marvel and, most recently, One Piece. It's a list of accomplishments that certainly can be traced back to Hoover's natural talent, but as we often discuss on Ladies Night, in film and television, finding someone who sees you and what you're capable of can be essential. Hoover found that in Gunn. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Look Up in the Sky.....Superman is back and this time he's directed by James Gunn who also helmed the Guardians of the Galaxy Trilogy before switching sides in the superhero genre to now lead DC Studios and this is the FIRST official release now kicking off a brand new extended universe....hopefully.  There's a lot riding on this cinematic re-introduction to the Man of Steel (THAT film was the last time) and this time, he's played by David Corenswet (Twisters, We Own This City) in a story which takes place several years into this superhero's introduction to the world.  Once again, he also works at the Daily Planet alongside his secret love, intrepid reporter Lois Lane now played by Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) and his arch nemisis is local Metropolis billionaire Lex Luthor played by Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max Fury Road, Warm Bodies, Nosferatu, The Menu).  But beyond a few other returning characters, everything else is VERY different from previous Superman movies....including the presence of other meta-humans on the planet, two living parents still back in Kansas, and....the live action introduction of Krypto the Dog?  It's time once again to find it we can STILL believe that a man can fly......Host & Editor: Geoff GershonEditor: Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Action Comics #497 (1979)Since he's got a big movie coming out, let's keep it going with the Man of Steel here on WCE with a Bronze Age tale of Superman finding himself at the whims of three kids and an inter-dimensional imp convening in a modest shack in Kansas.You see, one of these kids needs life-changing surgery so the imp is letting these youngsters conjure up all sorts of perilous tasks like flaming meteors filled with Kryptonite and forced alien dissections. There has to be an easier way to do this but why bother when you can put countless living being in some sort of peril.We also got Scottish pirates, that one kid from STRANGER THINGS, tactless hotel doormen and a nearly tragic birthday surprise for Clark.Plus, Jen and Shawn discuss Metallica at Mile High Stadium and the shocking appearance of really good Mister Miracle cosplay in a random 80's horror flick.*** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:20:39 ***Promo: MOVING KRYPTONIAN IMAGES (https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/it-all-comes-back-to-superman-series-two/id1720158262)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.

On this episode of Men of Steel, Case and Jmike are joined by nerd about town Adam Lance Garcia to dive into one of the perenial crossovers of the '70s: Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man! We talk tabloid-sized team-ups, Bronze Age bravado, and what happens when DC and Marvel let their icons share a skyline. Who wins? … I mean… It's Superman. It's obviously Superman. But that said, it's a blast of a conversation, so tune in, True Believers! Check out Adam's Stuff: The Green Lama: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-green-lama/id1593061792 From A Certain Point of View: https://a.co/d/fiY396f   Overview Adam Lance Garcia, an established Star Wars author, shares his early fandom of Superman sparked by the 1976 Christopher Reeve film and its lasting influence on his work. The 1976 Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man marks the first DC/Marvel superhero crossover with a creative team that includes Gerry Conway and Stan Lee, highlighting its historical significance in comic book history. The story features a 92-page length with 36 pages dedicated to prologues to set character dynamics effectively, a considerable feat for comics at that time. Character interactions are facilitated by a news convention setting, notably altering the traditional roles of Superman as he works as a TV anchor at GBS. Lex Luthor emerges as the primary villain, while Doc Ock's role remains secondary, demonstrating the power dynamics within the narrative. Unique plot devices, such as a red sun ray that allows Spider-Man to challenge Superman, illustrate creative solutions for character conflicts. The discussion reveals dated elements in the narrative, particularly an Africa sequence deemed problematic, albeit 'well-intentioned' for its time. Comparisons to superior crossovers like JLA/Avengers emphasize shortcomings in Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man, particularly regarding character integration and narrative depth. Iconic moments in the comic, including Spider-Man's ineffective punches and Peter Parker saving Lois Lane, highlight successful character interactions that resonate with fans. Notes ️ Podcast Introduction & Guest Background (00:00 - 03:10) Case Aiken and Jmike Folson host Men of Steel podcast discussing Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man Adam Lance Garcia joins as guest, established Star Wars author with extensive comic book background Superman was Garcia's first fandom, introduced through 1976 Christopher Reeve film, called it 'Super S' as child Comic Book Historical Context (04:31 - 53:25) Superman vs. The Amazing Spider-Man (1976) - first DC/Marvel superhero crossover, technically second collaboration after Wizard of Oz project Creative team: Gerry Conway (writer), Ross Andrew (artist), Dick Giordano (inker), Carmine Infantino and Stan Lee (editors) Neal Adams uncredited for redrawing Superman panels, John Romita Sr. redrew Marvel character faces for house style consistency 92-page story with 36 pages of prologues - significant length for 1976 comic Story Structure Analysis (11:49 - 24:04) Three prologues establish characters: Superman vs. giant robot, Spider-Man vs. Doc Ock, villains team up in prison Main story set at news convention in New York, allows natural meeting of characters Superman working as TV anchor at GBS (not Daily Planet reporter) creates awkward dynamic for classic Superman storytelling ️ Character Dynamics & Plot Elements (47:12 - 01:44:08) Lex Luthor dominates as alpha villain, Dr. Octopus relegated to secondary role throughout story Red sun ray device allows Spider-Man to physically fight Superman by weakening him Plot contrivances include fake Superman kidnapping Lois Lane and Mary Jane to force hero conflict ️ Problematic Elements Discussion (01:49:59 - 01:30:03) Africa sequence identified as dated and problematic, though noted as 'well-intentioned' for its era Ms./Miss distinction scene between Mary Jane and Lois Lane reflects 1970s women's liberation discourse Various plot holes and inconsistencies discussed, including gravity fight scene logic Crossover Comparisons (01:05:02 - 01:20:54) JLA/Avengers by Busiek and Perez cited as superior crossover example with lasting consequences Superman/Hulk crossover praised for using iconic character versions rather than current continuity Batman/Captain America crossover noted for better integration of characters' respective worlds Positive Aspects Highlighted (01:06:14 - 01:19:30) Iconic moments: Spider-Man punching ineffectively at Superman, two-page spread of first encounter Peter Parker saving Lois Lane scene appreciated as natural universe mixing J. Jonah Jameson and Morgan Edge drinking scene shows potential for character interactions Historical Significance (53:53 - 01:38:37) Comic serves as important archaeological artifact showing evolution of crossover storytelling Earth Dollar Sign - joking designation for shared universe setting Foundation for future DC/Marvel collaborations despite narrative shortcomings

My Adventures with Superman is an animated take on the man of Steel that airs on the Cartoon Network and HBO Max. The series provides a slightly different take on Superman, following his adventures as a young intern at the Daily Planet and featuring an anime inspired style.

“There're piles of skulls, which of course I appreciate” - Steve on the set design On this week's episode, Totally Cool Awesome 80s Month and the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza pay tribute to the late, great Val Kilmer with a convo about the super-fun Ron Howard fantasy flick, Willow! How amazing are Warwick and Val together on screen? Isn't it refreshing that Davis was just allowed to put a shirt on and be this character, without getting covered in prosthetics or whatever else? Wouldn't things have been just fine in this movie without the Brownies flying around? And how amazing is that two-headed Siskel & Ebert monster?

Holy Kryptonian catastrophe, comic crusaders! This week on Play Comics, we're diving headfirst into the digital dumpster fire that is Superman: Countdown to Apokolips for the Game Boy Advance – because apparently someone thought the best way to honor Superman: The Animated Series was to trap the Man of Steel in a tiny screen prison with graphics that make MS Paint look like the Sistine Chapel. Released in 2003 by the brave souls at Mistic Software (after poor Crawfish Interactive literally died during development – talk about your occupational hazards!), this isometric adventure promised to let players soar through Metropolis while battling Livewire, Metallo, and the fashion disaster known as Kalibak. What it actually delivered was a gaming experience so punishing that even Darkseid would file a complaint with customer service. Joining us for this digital descent into madness is Adam Maresh from my local shop back when he lived by me – a man who's seen more comic-to-game adaptations crash and burn than a rejected Justice League movie pitch. Together, we'll explore how this GBA “gem” managed to score a whopping 45% on GameRankings and somehow convinced IGN to give it a 4.5/10 (which in retrospect feels generous). So grab your emergency kryptonite antidote and prepare for an episode that's more fun than actually playing the game – which, let's face it, isn't exactly setting the bar stratospheric. Will Superman's portable adventure redeem itself through sheer nostalgic charm, or will it crash harder than a Daily Planet exclusive? Tune in to find out if this animated series tie-in belongs in the Fortress of Solitude… or the Phantom Zone! Learn such things as: Should we get Golden Age Superman back? What powers do you give the man who could have anything? Where's Krypto? I want Krypto! Everyone is always talking about Krypto. And so much more! You can find Adam at a place that even I technically don't know the location of.

“He's the walking dead!” - Eric on contemporary Sly's look On this week's episode, the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza launches into month two by celebrating the Totally Cool Awesome 80s! First up, we're talking about the stupidly-titled Rambo: First Blood Part II! How funny is it that this movie pulls a complete 180 on the philosophy of the first film? How great is Sly's hair in this one? Couldn't they have had a few more action scenes with Martin Kove? How wild is it that Predator completely ripped off the Rambo covered in mud bit? And why didn't Murdock get a rockin' death in this? PLUS: Fellow veterans, Bebop and Rocksteady, meet John Rambo! Rambo: First Blood Part II stars Sylvester Stallone, Richard Crenna, Charles Napier, Steven Berkoff, Julia Nickson, George Cheung, and Martin Kove as Ericson; directed by George P. Cosmatos.

“He's at the height of his Lost powers here” - Ben on J.J. Abrams On this week's episode, we welcome Ben Worcester onto the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza to chat about the super-fun action sequel, Mission: Impossible III! How great is this engagement party scene with Ethan working the room? Has there been a better M:I villain than the late, great Philip Seymour Hoffman's portrayal of Owen Davian?

“Hold on to your hats, folks, Chris Cabin likes this movie!” - Eric On this week's episode, we're going back to The Prequels on the Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza to do a proper episode on Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith! How great is that Count Dooku exit at the beginning? How catty are all the sarcastic Battle Droids? Does this movie have the best-looking space battles in all the prequels? How funny is R2 lighting those guys on fire after whizzing oil all over them? And, yeah, that Vader shout at the end of the movie is still one of the most unintentionally hilarious moments in all of Star Wars! PLUS: Palpatine blurs out his Zoom background when making secret calls from the toilet! Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith stars Ewan McGregor, Hayden Christian, Natalie Portman, Ian McDiarmid, Jimmy Smits, Samuel L. Jackson, Anthony Daniels, Christopher Lee, Bruce Spence, Silas Carson, Temuera Morrison, Kenny Baker, and Frank Oz as the voice of Yoda; directed by George Lucas. Don't miss our next Worldwide Digital Event, happening Friday, June 20th at 9pm/eastern where we'll be LIVE talking about a total superhero all-timer, Superman II! Join us that night to revel in all the fun with Zod & Friends, everyone at the Daily Planet, and the two legendary performances from Christopher Reeve and Gene Hackman!
