Phillip and Eric are talking the modern DC classic, All-Star Superman by the legendary duo of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely. They discuss its optimistic and sincere tone, Morrison's portrayal of Superman as an all-powerful but altruistic being, and Eric expresses his dismay over the new Pope not living up to his super expectations.
ONE OF THE MAJOR INSPIRATIONS FOR JAMES GUNN'S SUPERMAN!! All Star Superman Full Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects Save & Invest In Your Future Today, visit: https://www.acorns.com/rejects With the DCU's flagship Superman film A MONTH AWAY, Coy & John continue their road to Metropolis with their All Star Superman Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Coy Jandreau & John Humphrey as they celebrate the Man of Steel in All Star Superman (2011), the acclaimed DC animated adaptation of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's beloved comic. When Superman (voiced by James Denton of Desperate Housewives and Good Christian Belles) absorbs a lethal overdose of solar radiation saving a U.S. space mission, he learns he has only days left to live—but not before completing twelve “super” tasks for humanity. Alongside Clark Kent's heartfelt romance with Lois Lane (Christina Hendricks, Mad Men, Drive), we see Lex Luthor (Anthony LaPaglia, Without a Trace, Frasier) unleash a diabolical plot to capture the bottled city of Kandor, and Perry White (Edward Asner, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Up) struggle to keep the Daily Planet printing under cosmic threat. Standout moments include Superman's solar recharge chamber scenes, his bittersweet gift of temporary powers to Jimmy Olsen (Matthew Gray Gubler, Criminal Minds), and the climactic showdown where the dying hero still finds hope in saving the world. Nasthalthia (Linda Cardellini, Freaks and Geeks, Avengers: Endgame) offers alien perspective, Ma Kent (Frances Conroy, Six Feet Under, American Horror Story) grounds him in heart, and Steve Lombard (Kevin Michael Richardson, The Simpsons, Black Lightning) supplies brash newsroom flair. Don't miss Coy & John's breakdown of every iconic beat—from Superman racing the sun across the sky to the emotional farewell that cements his legacy as the ultimate hero!

Just in time for the pod's 10th birthday, a bucket list guest for the show. We welcome, after two years of trying to line up schedules, Grant Morrison. When we started discussing doing the pod with Grant, it was Animal Man's 35th anniversary. It's now the 37th anniversary, but all that matters is finally having the chat. We talk about the book's creation back in 1988 during the first wave of the British Comics Invasion, when Grant, Gaiman, Milligan and McKean followed Alan Moore in working for DC. This leads to discussing the story that changed the book, issue 5's “The Coyote Gospel.” From there, it's talk about everything from B'Wanna Beast to The Red Bee, Captain Cold to The Inferior Five. That's all leading up to the Psycho Pirate, his trying to undo Crisis and the debut of characters like Overman and Sunshine Superman. And that culminates with looking at the end of Grant's time on the book, when Buddy travels through Limbo to meet … well, a fictionalized version of Grant, when gets to confront his creator about the death of his family and all the other bad stuff that has happened in these stories. There's lots of other stuff in our conversation including Swamp Thing, Sargon the Sorcerer, Doom Patrol, Batman, continuity, metafiction and of course Hypertime, where Grant explains the math behind the idea that most people didn't understand. As you may be able to tell during our chat, Animal Man was a very important book for me, it starting at the same time I was beginning college and being exposed to new ideas and writers like Borges. I'm so happy we were finally able to get this done and thanks to Grant's wife Kristan for all her help over the years trying to balance Trans-Atlantic schedules, natural disasters and various medical issues over that time. But we never gave up, so we hope you like probably one of my favorite episodes of the podcast's lifespan.

In this episode of Hit Rewind, hosts Michael and John explore the diverse landscape of comic books from 1999. While Marvel faced significant financial struggles, leading to the sale of many assets, DC Comics thrived with innovative and captivating narratives. The discussion delves into Marvel's attempts to stay afloat despite bankruptcy, including the relaunch of iconic titles and the introduction of new miniseries like Moon Knight and Black Widow. On the other hand, DC Comics soared with compelling arcs such as "No Man's Land" and the return of the Justice Society. Notable runs from creators like Grant Morrison in the "JLA" series and Chuck Dixon in the Bat-related titles showcased the vibrant creativity driving DC during this period. Additionally, the episode touches on independent comics and the emergence of Wildstorm's America's Best Comics, further illustrating the dynamic shifts within the comic book industry at the turn of the millennium.

Surprise, friends. Grant Morrison joins the show for Superman Day! As the writer behind the seminal All-Star Superman, which observes its 20th anniversary this November, we cannot think of a better person to help us celebrate the Last Son of Krypton on his 87th birthday. Action Comics #1, featuring the first appearance of Superman by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, hit newsstands on April 18th, 1938. It is the source of everything you love about superhero comics. When Action Comics first arrived, America was in economic ruin. The world was about to enter its second great war. Despair was easily accessible, but two Jewish kids from Cleveland imagined a Man of Steel who could do the impossible and would act for those who could not act for themselves. As we look outside our windows in 2025, we see an incredible darkness, but we strive for a future beyond it. We can imitate the devils in the dark, or we can seek Superman, who reflects the best version of ourselves. Like most people, probably, we first encountered Superman through television and film; it was the All-Star Superman comics by Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely, Jamie Grant, Phil Balsman, and Travis Lanham that solidified our passion for the character. Those twelve issues showcased the joyous, awful, absurd, and adventurous universe Superman populated, making us fall in love with it and our own realm in return. As Morrison writes in Supergods, we are the stories we tell ourselves. In Superman, we see who we've been, who we are, and who we could be. We're positively chuffed to chat Superman with Grant Morrison. We discuss their approach to the character in All-Star Superman and how it differs from the version they wrote in JLA, Action Comics, Final Crisis, and other stories. We discuss the significance of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and what it means for Grant and others to extend their great idea. We talk about Lois and Clark, Lex Luthor, Samson, and Atlas, and Grant Morrison reveals their next big comic project somewhere along the line. Continue our conversation with Grant Morrison by visiting their Website, Substack, Instagram, and Bluesky. This Week's Sponsor: We're sponsored by 2000 AD, the greatest comic you're not reading! Within its pages is a whole universe of characters, from Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog to Rogue Trooper, Shakara, Halo Jones, and the poor sods slogging across the Cursed Earth in The Helltrekkers.

Dive deep into the shadows of Gotham as Geek History Lesson embarks on a gripping journey through Batman's Dark Age—spanning from 1985 to 2000. This era redefined the Caped Crusader, courtesy of visionary creators like Frank Miller, whose "The Dark Knight Returns" brought a gritty realism to Bruce Wayne's world. Alongside Alan Moore's "The Killing Joke," which delved into the twisted psyche of the Joker, and Grant Morrison's innovative narratives in "Arkham Asylum," these stories sculpted a darker, more complex Batman. This period ushered in a renaissance of the Dark Knight, transforming him into a symbol of vigilante justice steeped in moral ambiguity, setting the stage for Batman's evolution for years to come.

Ospite del 154° episodio di Illuminismo Psichedelico, andato in scena il 5 aprile 2025 sulla Terrazza Regina di Milano, è lo scrittore Matteo Grilli. Insieme a Matteo abbiamo fatto un viaggio all'interno di tre sue esperienze di stati non ordinari di coscienza ottenuti tramite sostanze, le prima è un'esperienza totalmente psichedelica, vissuta tramite l'uso dei funghi psilocibinici; la seconda un profondo e cupo k-hole a base puramente ketaminica; mentre il terzo racconto ci porta nei territori ansiogeni e paranoici che può innescare l'abuso di cocaina. La discussione è intessuta di riferimenti artistici e letterari, come quelli agli scrittori Hunter Thompson e Allen Ginsberg, ai fumettisti Grant Morrison e Jesse Jacobs o al film Interstellar di Christopher Nolan.
