Case and Jmike are joined by Doug Lief (from the Nostalgium Arcanum podcast) to talk about a family that's pretty super, The Incredibles!   Overview   In Podcast episode 142 of Men of Steel, hosts Case Aiken and Jmike Folson, alongside guest Doug Lief, delve into a comprehensive analysis of Disney's The Incredibles through the lens of Superman fandom. They explore the film's connections to other superhero media, notably its references to 60s Batman and Fleischer Superman, while debating the film's overall tone, which Case describes as having an 'angry' directorial voice. The discussion emphasizes Mr. Incredible as a Superman analog, revealing how his secret identity as Bob Parr reflects an average man grappling with superhero responsibilities amid family dynamics. The team draws parallels between the family members' powers and their roles, likening the villain Syndrome to a failed fan archetype obsessed with eliminating exceptionalism. Additionally, they analyze the film's aging animation, contextualize its place in the superhero genre before the rise of the MCU, and celebrate its blend of action and relatable family themes. The episode culminates in discussing the film's unresolved questions about the necessity of superheroes in society, concluding that it adeptly balances the extraordinary with the everyday.   Notes ‍️ Introduction and Context (01:12 - 15:47) Case Aiken and Jmike Folson host the Men of Steel podcast with guest Doug Lief The discussion focuses on Disney's The Incredibles (2004) from a Superman fan perspective Doug mentions the movie's connections to Watchmen and other superhero media The hosts establish that the film is a love letter to superheroes with influences from 60s Batman, James Bond, and Fleischer Superman Case acknowledges he likes but doesn't love the movie, finding it has an 'angry' directorial voice ‍️ Mr. Incredible as Superman Analog (15:47 - 24:52) The group analyzes Mr. Incredible (Bob Parr) as a Superman analog Bob Parr's name means 'average' - perfect for a secret identity His job at an insurance company creates dramatic irony (helping after harm vs. preventing it) The hosts discuss Mr. Incredible's durability, strength, and physical capabilities The film explores the tension between superhero responsibility and family obligations The 'Bob Parr' identity has real value to him beyond just being a disguise ‍‍‍ Family Dynamics and Powers (24:52 - 39:20) The Incredibles compared to Fantastic Four but with a nuclear family structure Each family member's powers serve as metaphors for their roles: Elastigirl must 'bend over backwards' for her family Violet wants to be invisible/blend in as a teenager Dash wants to show off and stand out with his speed Holly Hunter praised for her performance as Elastigirl The married couple dynamic shows mature flirtation and partnership Sarah Vowell's performance as Violet highlighted despite not being a professional actress Syndrome as Villain (39:20 - 54:00) Syndrome analyzed as Jimmy Olsen gone evil or fan-turned-Lex Luthor His character represents fandom and mediocrity wanting to eliminate specialness Syndrome observes and counters heroes' weaknesses but fails to examine his own His fatal flaw is wearing a cape, which Edna Mode had warned against The group discusses connections to Alan Moore's works (Watchmen and Captain Britain) Syndrome's robot compared to the squid from Watchmen's ending Brad Bird reportedly denies Watchmen influence despite many parallels Jack-Jack and Supporting Characters (54:00 - 01:03:00) Jack-Jack has godlike powers (17 documented in the sequel) Compared to Franklin Richards from Fantastic Four Jack-Jack helps defeat Syndrome at the end of the film Edna Mode (voiced by Brad Bird) praised as an excellent character Her role as the Q-like gadget designer who incorporates fashion The group discusses superhero costume design elements Frozone and his 'Where's my super suit?' scene mentioned Animation and Film Context (01:03:00 - 01:16:40) The film's animation shows its age (from 2004) but holds up well due to stylization Technical limitations discussed (water effects, foliage, crowds) The hosts note the film predates the MCU (2008) and Nolan's Batman (2005) The Incredibles came at a transition point for superhero cinema The movie successfully balances superhero action with relatable family dynamics Character designs discussed (Mr. Incredible's face based on a Roman helmet) Final Battle and Themes (01:16:40 - 01:26:47) The Omnidroid battle showcases the family working together effectively Team power moves highlight each character's abilities and their coordination The question of 'do we need superheroes?' explored through the final battle Dash's athletic participation at the end (coming in second) compared to Superman hiding his abilities The film doesn't fully resolve questions about exceptional people's place in society The ending shows balance between superhero and ordinary life is beneficial Conclusions and Wrap-Up (01:26:47 - 01:38:04) The Underminer appearance sets up the sequel and references Mole Man from Fantastic Four The hosts appreciate the film's commentary on superhero tropes ('you caught me monologuing') The movie works well as both a superhero film and a family story Discussion about how the film has aged and its historical context in superhero cinema Podcast information and social media contacts shared Recommendation for Books that Burn podcast from the Certain POV network

A shocking gunshot at the Daily Planet sends Jimmy Olsen on a stylized dream sequence straight out of a 1940s detective flick. As a hardboiled private eye, Jimmy finds himself unraveling a mystery filled with deception, dangerous dames, and a mysterious Clark Kent. But while Jimmy is playing detective in his subconscious, the real investigation reveals something even more sinister—a hidden conspiracy that could change everything. With Lana caught in the crossfire, Lex playing puppet master, and Lionel's secrets creeping closer to the surface, this episode delivers a perfect mix of vintage aesthetics and modern Smallville drama. So pour yourself a drink (or, you know, some coffee in a fancy glass), and let's break down the twists, betrayals, and classic noir tropes that make this episode a standout!GET YOUR 30 DAY FREE TRIAL OF AMAZON PRIME HERE

In this episode of Challenge Accepted, Frank and Thomas wrap up John Williams Month with a deep dive into the 1978 classic Superman: The Movie! They explore the film's lasting impact on superhero cinema, Christopher Reeve's legendary performance, and how John Williams' iconic score helped define the Man of Steel. From emotional storytelling to groundbreaking special effects, they discuss why this film remains a gold standard for superhero origin stories. Plus, they analyze how this Superman set the stage for the modern superhero genre and what lessons James Gunn might take for the upcoming Superman: Legacy. Strap in for a nostalgic and insightful discussion on the film that made audiences "believe a man could fly!" Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 – Introduction: Wrapping up John Williams Month with Superman (1978) 00:14 – First Impressions: How many times have we seen this classic? 00:24 – Christopher Reeve's Impact: The definitive Superman 00:47 – The Heart of Superman: Why this film still resonates 01:09 – The Film's Strengths & Weaknesses: Does it hold up today? 01:50 – Superman's Influence on Modern Superhero Films 02:30 – Lex Luthor's Portrayal: Gene Hackman's unique take on the character 03:00 – Iconic Moments & Special Effects: The magic of practical effects 04:00 – John Williams' Score: How music makes Superman feel larger than life 04:45 – The Legacy of Superman (1978): What it teaches today's superhero movies 05:30 – Looking Forward: Hopes for Superman: Legacy Key Takeaways: Christopher Reeve set the gold standard for Superman. His portrayal remains unmatched in charm, confidence, and hope. John Williams' score is a character in itself. The music elevates key moments, making them feel larger than life. The film's practical effects were groundbreaking. The flying sequences and large-scale destruction still hold up in many ways. Lex Luthor was portrayed with a mix of comedy and intelligence. Gene Hackman's take on the character remains a unique interpretation. Superman's humanity makes him relatable. His emotional reactions, especially to Lois Lane, show why he's a compelling hero. The newsroom setting perfectly captured the hustle of journalism. Perry White, Lois Lane, and Jimmy Olsen brought energy to The Daily Planet. Without Superman (1978), modern superhero films wouldn't exist as we know them. The film paved the way for serious and big-budget superhero storytelling. Memorable Quotes:

On this episode, it's Superman's girl friend (two words): Lois Lane! We talk the origins of everyone's favorite "girl reporter" and kick things off with a 1944 story that sees Lois stepping out on her own sans Superman. Then, we zero in on a 1962 issue of Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane that sees the Daily Planet dynamo be "abandoned" by Superman (and face off against an octopus!) and then discover Superman's secret mermaid family on another planet (yep). We wrap up by discussing Lois on screen, why she doesn't have a more regular solo title and what to expect from Rachel Brosnahan's upcoming portrayal. Ep. 152 What if Lois Lane thought Superman abandoned her & hijinks ensued?from Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane #30 (DC Comics)Find us at https://linktr.ee/dearwatchersIt's more silver age silliness! After our recent Jimmy Olsen issue, we are talking about Superman's main squeeze: Lois Lane. We talk her origins from Siegel & Shuster (and Joanne Carter) and then cover an early story from Don Cameron & Ed Dobrotka that sees Lois talk someone off a ledge (literally). We then cover a zany issue of Superman's Girl Friend Lois Lane where Lois faces off against gangsters, an opium smuggler and an octopus without the help of Superman (or so she thinks). Plus, lookout for a truly bizarre Krypton cameo! Later in that issue, Lois discovers Superman has a secret mermaid wife and child on another planet but everything might not be what it appears to be in this story from the pencil of iconic Lois Lane artist Kurt Schaffenberger. We wrap up by sharing our love for Margot Kidder, Elizabeth Tulloch, Teri Hatcher and speculate on how Lois will be portrayed in James Gunn's upcoming film.

Ready for some silver age silliness? For the first time, we are talking Superman's best pal: Jimmy Olsen! We start with a brief history of the redheaded sidekick, his first "official" appearance back in 1941, and an issue of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen that seems our hero transform into a werewolf, don drag to pretend to be a woman, befriend a leprechaun (that's really Mr. Mxyzptlk) and lots more zany shenanigans. We wrap up by talking about our favorite onscreen Jimmy's and what we want to see next from the character. Ep. 151 What if Jimmy Olsen became a werewolf, a woman and was friends with a leprechaun?from Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #44 (DC Comics)Find us at https://linktr.ee/dearwatchersGrab your bow ties and sweater vests, it's a deep dive into Jimmy Olsen! We kick off with a look at the origins of the character, from office boy to cub reporter to (eventually) photographer including early appearances in Siegel & Shuster penned issues. Then we jump into the wacky world of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen in a three-part issue that sees Jimmy transform into a wolf-man, go under cover as a chorus girl and battle an inter-dimensional trickster, all set to the terrific art of Curt Swan. We wrap up by discussing Jimmy onscreen from Lois & Clark to My Adventures with Superman and speculate on Skyler Gisondo's take on the character in James Gunn's upcoming film.

The Yeti Cave is packed on this episode of the Cryptid Creator Corner. Jimmy chats with Jordan Blum, Patton Oswalt, Heath Corson, and I.N.J. Culbard about the upcoming The Brood, part of the Minor Threats Universe. The Brood is the story of supervillain Napoleon Archimedes, nemesis to superhero The Searcher, as he faces his own mortality and must choose which of his children will be his successor. During the episode, Patton said that Heath approached Jordan and Patton with the elevator pitch that was basically what if it's Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor but he's Gene Hackman's character in The Royal Tenenbaums. All of the comics in the Minor Threats Universe have been fantastic and The Brood is no exception. This is such a great episode listening to the team talk about the story and characters, how Heath prepared for the pitch, and how I.N.J. works to keep the emotionality of the characters consistent. Plus, listen to Jimmy keep trying to get Heath to talk about his DC book Bizarro that he wrote with artist Gustavo Duarte.   The Brood From the publisher From the world of the hit Minor Threats series comes a family drama starring the planet's most feared villains. Napoleon Archimedes is the archnemesis of The Searcher, and he's fought her to a standstill for over four decades in the futuristic metropolis of Meteor Falls. But now, as he confronts his mortality, he's forced to name a successor from his three extraordinary children: Athena, Benjamin, and Spookshow. Each brilliant, cunning ... and unlucky enough to be the child of the world's greatest supervillain. See, Napoleon believed he was smart enough to have it all: Raise a family AND conquer the world. Then he thought: Why not combine them? Take the kids on as partners. Create a dynasty... None of it went according to plan. Who will rise above the betrayal, failure, and dysfunction to seize the family business? Join us for an unlikely coming-of-age story, that wrestles with the concussions and repercussions of getting raised by a once-in-a-generation criminal mind. Think your father is manipulative, cold and demanding...? Wait until you meet Napoleon. Bizarro Bizarro—Superman's backward-speaking warped doppelgänger—only wants to be a superhero. But his “help” has left nothing but destruction all through Metropolis, and now the citizens want him out! Sounds like a job for Jimmy Olsen! He'll lure Bizarro out of the city for good by escorting him on a road trip to “Bizarro America” (a.k.a. Canada), then return to Metropolis a hero and write a best-selling coffee table book about their journey. But to get to the border, the duo will first have to contend with chupacabras, ghosts and used car salesmen! And if they do ever reach the Great White North, will Jimmy have the heart to follow through with his scheme? PATREON We have a new Patreon, CryptidCreatorCornerpod.

Victor arranges for the bosses to be murdered. Oz abducts Sofia, seemingly to murder her, but instead has his police contacts return her to Arkham. Oz and Victor visit Francis to celebrate, only to learn that she entered a vegetative state, causing Oz to break down. Deciding that Victor has seen too much, Oz strangles him to death.
