Elsewhere, the team also discuss the week's movie news, plug the new issue of Empire, and review Happy Gilmore 2, The Naked Gun, and Bring Her Back, while Chris is joined in The Guest Zone by The Naked Gun director, and one-third of The Lonely Island, Akiva Schaffer [20:11 - 39:53 approx], and Superman director James Gunn, who shares some spoilerific thoughts in an extended excerpt from our Superman spoiler special.

On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, Kristian Harloff and Steph Sabraw dive into some HUGE updates from the world of superheroes and fantasy! The biggest story? James Gunn may have just confirmed that he's already working on Superman 2 — even though he previously hinted that there wouldn't be a traditional sequel. What does this mean for the DCU and Superman's future after the first film? We break it all down and look at his comments. We also revisit James Gunn's clarification of what's canon in the new DCU, as he continues to reshape the future of DC storytelling. Over in the MCU, Harrison Ford was asked if he'll return after Captain America: Brave New World — and his response? Classic Ford. Plus, Alison Brie talks about the new Masters of the Universe live-action movie, saying it might be just as campy as the ‘80s cartoon. And in House of the Dragon Season 3 news, Annie Shapero joins the cast as Alysanne Blackwood — one of the saga's fiercest warriors!
James Gunn's Superman (2025) is in cinemas right now, and is really good! It has a wonderful central performance by David Corenswet, and is as colourful as it is hopeful, and we need that right now. As I'm off this week, it felt like a good time to revisit the late Christopher Reeve's iconic performance in Superman (1978).Is it a bird? Is it a plane? 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. Just bear in mind, this episode is several years old, it may not sound quite as polished as newer episodes, and new information may have come to light in recent years with regards to the making of this movie (please see above for the original date of release) Please enjoy this time capsule of an episode.

Ma Kent has joined the Superman celebrations! The wonderful actress Neva Howell, who portrays Martha Kent in James Gunn's new film, joins Shawn for a freewheeling discussion about her experience taking on this iconic role. They discuss how she started developing the character from her very first audition, some of her favorite memories from the set, and what it was like seeing the film on the big screen for the first time. They also express their excitement for Gunn's take on the Man of Steel, and how it's so crucial to emphasize Superman's kindness and love for humanity in a world that tends to take these things for granted.
For well over a decade, we have argued about the quality of the Superman films. The fights about Supes killing Zod in Man of Steel has literally been one of the defining qualities of a couple of us on this show. When another new Superman movie was announced, and it was to be directed by James Gunn, we were torn between optimist and cynicism. Gunn has certainly been a divisive director in the past, but would he continue that trend? Anyway…here is our Superman (2025) episode.

There have been 11 Superman films released in the past 50 years. How do you make a new one that stands out? On this episode of By Design, hosts Liz Stinson and Mark Wilson interview the production designer for the latest Superman film, Beth Mickle. They discuss her collaborations with director James Gunn and share how she developed the latest Superman aesthetic. Plus, she explains why her team chose the more difficult route of relying heavily on practical effects. Liz and Mark also discuss the latest in design news including the vibeless summer , Meta's tent city, and a certain copycat in the New York City mayoral race. And at the end of the episode, Liz and Mark debate their best and worst designs of the month: MAGA Coke, Sam Altman's sunglasses, and Anne Hathaway are all in contention.
Chris and Perry are back, talking about this summer's releases -- including a deeper dive into James Gunn's Superman -- before (finally) continuing their David Lynch discussion with a focus on 1980's The Elephant Man.
This week, Izzy and Murtada discuss the film of the summer. No, it's not Superman, and it's definitely not Eddington. It's Taxi zum Klo—Frank Ripploh's 1980 film about a gay public school teacher in Berlin who is forced to reassess his preference for casual sex when he enters into a relationship with a cinema worker named Bernd. The restoration of this extremely modern, incisive film premieres at Metrograph in New York City on August 1. Izzy and Murtada also discuss the aforementioned Superman and Eddington—why Superman's politics are surprisingly bold and Eddington's are annoyingly toothless, what James Gunn offers the DC Universe, and where Ari Aster can go from here.

Why would the expensive wireless headphones I bought actually work? I went to the Deftones themed bar event in downtown LA this weekend hoping to meet chicks, and it went about is as well you probably expect it did. I saw the movie “Eddington” and 10 minutes of The Fantastic Four, so you don't have to. Lungs update: “Go fuck yourself (basically)” – My Doctor. The Arnold nod. Motorcycle madness.

First up — brand new SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY set photos have hit the internet, and they may finally confirm whether the movie takes place before or after AVENGERS: DOOMSDAY. What does this mean for the future of Tom Holland's Spider-Man and the overall MCU timeline? We dive into the theories, Easter eggs, and fan speculation surrounding the photos. Next, we talk about the highly anticipated X-Men reboot in the MCU. Reports say the new X-Men team will be "recognizably different" from previous versions. How will this affect characters like Wolverine, Cyclops, Jean Grey, and Magneto? Then, James Gunn confirms that the script for the DCU's Teen Titans movie doesn't exist yet — despite rumors. What does this mean for Robin, Raven, Starfire, Beast Boy, and the future of DC Studios?

By skipping the origin story and dropping viewers right into the action, James Gunn's SUPERMAN avoids feeling like the franchise reset it is, and allows the director to get to work creating the sort of busy, quick-paced onscreen universe at which he excels. We're joined once again by writer, podcaster, and Superman aficionado Chris Klimek to break exactly down why it works so well, as well as a few places where it doesn't, before returning to the film that helped facilitate this shorthand approach, 1978's SUPERMAN, to see how these different iterations of the title character — not to mention the familiar ensemble surrounding him — play in close proximity to each other. Can Superman be too corny? Is Lois Lane a good or terrible journalist? Why is Lex Luthor obsessed with land grabs, and what does his associate Eve Teschmacher actually add to these movies? We dig into all of that, then offer some options for Super-lementary viewing and reading in Your Next Picture Show.

All right friends! This week we are going to be talking about the new Superman film directed by James Gunn. While our resident DC apologist Ronn Bauman is not available, we all give the film a glowing review as one of the best depictions of Superman in the movies. Also, some doggie treats for Krypto […]
This episode contains spoilers for Superman.The film writer Jessica Ritchey returns for a look at James Gunn's hard reset of the DC cinematic universe starting with his new Superman, starring David Corenswet as the Last Son of Krypton, with Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor.After a decade of Henry Cavill's Übermensch Superman, Gunn has returned to the original idea of the Man of Steel as a kind and decent protector of the planet. incorporating elements of the character from the last 90 years of comic books, radio, tv, cartoons and cinema, while also plugging the idea of Superman into modern life, where real life supervillains like Trump and Elon Musk seem to have the upper hand. Gunn's Superman contends with techbros and oligarchs who use other metahumans to inspire fear and social media to corrode the public discourse while running private prisons and engineering global conflicts for profit.Jessica and I discuss what we appreciate about Superman as a light and goofy movie that holds up kindness as a virtue and goodness as a choice one can make, including the gentle rebuke of Man of Steel in the main plot twist, and how it has enraged the Snyder Bros and conservatives who confidently predicted this movie would fail, but we also eat our words about how sure we were this movie was not going to meet the moment.Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

James Gunn is one of the most prolific and successful screenwriters and directors out there. After bringing the Marvel films, GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY, to the big screen, he was hired as the head of DC films to set up and bring to life the world of Superman, Wonder Woman, and Batman. After successful products like THE SUICIDE SQUAD (2021) and PEACEMAKER (2022), he's back with the true kickoff to the DC Universe with SUPERMAN (2025).From IMDB: “Superman must reconcile his alien Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing as reporter Clark Kent. As the embodiment of truth, justice and the human way he soon finds himself in a world that views these as old-fashioned.”The new Superman film stars David Corenswet as the lead with Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane. The aggregate website Rottentomatoes has given it great reviews from both audiences and reviewers alike. Your co-hosts take a look at this big budget beginning to the DC Universe and give their thoughts.
Paul and Erin review James Gunn's comic-book blockbuster SUPERMAN, along with Alex Ross Perry's unconventional music doc PAVEMENTS, Mariska Hargitay's documentary MY MOM JAYNE and David Mamet's HENRY JOHNSON, as well as a Studio Ghibli classic, a neglected 1970s Key West hangout flick, a PADDINGTON movie and Dennis Potter's final two TV ministeries.
Martin Harris has delivered stand-out work on “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “Young Sheldon,” “NCIS: Los Angeles,” “Stranger Things,” and now he plays the Boravian General in “Superman.” On this episode he describes the surprisingly efficient production that James Gunn presided over, and how it felt like “shooting a party video.” He surmises why directors keep giving him more scenes on-set, how reading a book between set-ups not only gets you focused but is also a conversation-starter, why he credits Kobe Bryant with helping him get to the next level with his career, and much more.

Episode 292 – James Gunn's Superman: Hope, Hype & Heroic Uncertainty It's a bird… it's a plane… it's another Analysis Podcast deep dive! In Episode 292, we suit up and fly headfirst into James Gunn's bold new take on Superman. With a new Clark Kent, a stacked ensemble cast, and a shifting DCEU landscape, there's plenty to dissect—and even more to speculate on. Bob, and Rob explore: How David Corenswet stacks up in the cape The Superman vs. The Authority tone shift Can Gunn really balance heart, heroism, and humor—or are we just getting Guardians in a cape? The risks of reboot fatigue in a world still haunted by the Snyderverse Whether this film is truly hopeful… or just another IP puzzle piece Plus, we get into the visual tone, the costume decisions, and whether the DCEU can actually be saved (or if we should all just go back to rewatching Man of Steel). Is Gunn's Superman going to soar—or crash under the weight of expectations?
