Andy and Mike begin their first episode covering the Elseworlds/Imaginary story SUPERMAN AND BATMAN GENERATIONS.

Super June continues as Tread Perilously takes a look at "The Case of the Talkative Dummy," the third episode of the 1950s Adventures of Superman series. When Clark and Lois take Jimmy to a vaudeville show for his birthday, the ventriloquist act is foiled by someone offstage throwing their voice. Jimmy and Lois later realize the heckling was part of an elaborate scheme to heist armored cars around Metropolis. But who is throwing their voice? And are they part of an inside job at the security company? Clark convinces Inspector Henderson to give him time to put all the pieces together, but when Jimmy gets locked in a safe by the real criminal, it becomes a job for Superman. Erik and Justin get lost discussing 1940s and 50s dietary habits. They also doubt the mild-mannered quality of George Reeves' Clark Kent. Erik tries to remember his post-Golden Age Superman lore and mostly fails. Justin ends up taken with first season Lois Lane actor Phyllis Coates. Erik re-imagines Superman and Loki as Tommy Wiseau. Jack Larson's oddly old, but boyish take on Jimmy Olsen leads to a lot of unfortunate implications. Justin presumes the Talkative Dummy would be something supernatural and the International Brotherhood of Goons, Lackeys, and Gofers makes its debut.

Continuing our celebration of Superman's 75th year by looking at the more monumental Superman tales of the Bronze Age, we take a look at one of the projects that were part of Superman's 40th anniversary. This Superman Spectacular featured the longest, at the time, single issue Superman tale. As such, I recruited a bit of help for the next 3 episodes in the form of Jon Wilson, host of Golden Age Superman and co-host of the New 52 Adventures of Superman with J David Weter. Speaking of Dave, he presents a tale of Superboy and the Legion of Superheroes that features the return of a legionaire that was thought to be dead!

The Best Of Annuals, The Wost Of Annuals This is the 16th episode of The Fantasticast, and it's our biggest one yet. Which is appropriate, considering we're looking at the largest amount of story pages yet on the show. To help us out with this massive task, we invited podcaster extraordinaire Jon M. Wilson (New 52 Adventures of Superman, Golden Age Superman, Xavier's Podcast For Gifted Children, The Mighty Shield, Amazing Spider-Man Classics, Teenage Wasteland: An Ultimate Spider-Man Podcast) to sit in with us for the show. And to our great delight, he agreed! It's time for us to take a look at Fantastic Four Annual #1 and Strange Tales Annual #2. In one, the Marvel universe expands in breadth and depth. The world is invaded, the secret history of Atlantis is revealed, and Jack Kirby hits an artistic peak. In the other, there's a load of gubbins involving The Human Torch and some imposter dressed up as Spider-Man, and Jack Kirby hits an artistic trough.
