Jace and Rocky chat aobut he DC Comics titles for the week of June 18, 2025. A stellar week with some very solid titles. Superman Unlimited #2 picks up right where the first issue left off and things are going to be very challenging for the Man of Steel going forward with Kryptonite ever and a new power that is both a blessing and a curse.

Absolute Flash gives us a glimpse at another Absolute version of a classic Rogues character, but will Wally be up to taking him on?

Finally, Krypto is getting a detailed origin like we have never seen before and its a great balance of fun and emotional moments. Join the guys to hear all about these tilles and more this week from DC!

Mit "Kryptonite" landen 3 Doors Down einen Riesenhit, der sie quasi über Nacht berühmt macht. Dabei entsteht der Song an einem ganz ungewöhnlichen Ort. Kleiner Spoiler: Frontmann Brad Arnold ist gerade einmal 15 Jahre alt und sitzt eigentlich im Matheunterricht, als ihm die Idee zu „Kryptonite“ kommt.

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's... Richard Pryor with a supercomputer? On this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback, Tim Williams is joined by guest co-host Laramy Wells to discuss the 80s Flick sequel that nearly torpedoed the Superman franchise with its emphasis on silly sight-gags instead of the Man of Steel mythos.Will they defend the decision to replace arch-nemesis Lex Luthor with billionaire Ross Webster? Will they be able to make sense of a synthetic Kryptonite and that epic junkyard brawl? Stay tuned as they kick off the new Summer of Sequels 2 series with their nostalgic views and rad review of “Superman III” from 1983 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback! Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:When producers were first informed that Lana Lang would be a single mother, a comic book was quickly written to explain how Lana arrived at that situation.The video game that Ross Webster plays was created for the film by the Atari Corporation. Atari had also made a "Superman III" video game, based on the film, for the Atari 5200, but it was never released.Sources:Wikipedia, IMDB, BoxOfficeMojoSome sections were composed by ChatGPTWe'd love to hear your thoughts on our podcast!

Superman III Full Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Download the PrizePicks today at https://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/RE... & use code REJECTS to get $50 instantly when you play $5! Andrew & Tara keep their SUPERMAN MARATHON rolling down the road to James Gunn's Superman giving Superman III Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Andrew Gordon & Tara Erickson as they revisit the 1983 superhero romp Superman III, where Clark Kent / Superman (Christopher Reeve, Somewhere in Time, Superman II) faces his most unusual adversary yet—computer whiz Gus Gorman (Richard Pryor, Stir Crazy, Brewster's Millions). When small‐town tech genius Gus lands a gig with sinister oil baron Ross Webster (Robert Vaughn, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Bullitt), he's duped into synthesizing Kryptonite, creating an evil doppelgänger of the Man of Steel who rampages through Smallville in one of the film's most searched‐for scenes. Meanwhile, Lois Lane (Margot Kidder, The Amityville Horror, Black Christmas) juggles her investigative instincts with her growing suspicions about Superman's strange new behavior. Rounding out the cast are Annette O'Toole as Ross's calculating wife Vera Webster (noted for 3:10 to Yuma and later TV's Superman & Lois), Pamela Stephenson as socialite Lacy Warfield (comedian from Not The Nine O'Clock News), and Jackie Cooper as Daily Planet editor Perry White (the original Pete & Gladys), plus Marc McClure returning as the ever‐awed Jimmy Olsen (Superman, Superman II). Andrew & Tara break down every standout moment—from Gus's frantic Kryptonite heist in the Arctic and the iconic “Evil Superman” fight in a Glendale parking garage to the hilariously over‐the‐top spoof of technology run amok at Ross's private plane hangar. Don't miss their take on the unforgettable sequence where Superman's alter ego lounges in Smallville's diner, the cheeky “cloning” of Superman by synthetic Kryptonite, and the climactic rooftop showdown that forces Clark to reclaim his true heroism.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 15, 2025 is: impervious • im-PER-vee-us • adjective Impervious describes that which does not allow something (such as water or light) to enter or pass through. It is also used formally to mean “not bothered or affected by something.” Both senses of impervious are usually used with to. // The material is impervious to water. // The mayor seems impervious to criticism. See the entry > Examples: “All of this ups the already sky-high stakes for ‘Superman,' which relaunches the DC Universe under the direction of Gunn and Peter Safran. The film is the studio's best hope at fielding a billion-dollar blockbuster in 2025, but even the Man of Steel isn't impervious to box office Kryptonite.” — Rebecca Rubin, Variety, 17 Jan. 2025 Did you know? Finding your way through some words' etymologies can lead to surprising discoveries of origins that seemingly have little to do with their modern-day meanings. Impervious, which entered English in the early 1600s, is not one of those words—its history is entirely straightforward. The Latin ancestor of impervious is impervius, which adds the prefix im-, meaning “not,” to pervius, meaning “passable or penetrable.” Pervius in turn comes from per, meaning “through,” and via, meaning “way.” Impervious, it follows, describes things that don't allow a way through something, whether literally (as in “asphalt, concrete, and other surfaces that are impervious to rain”) or figuratively (as in “impervious to criticism/pressure”). The opposite of impervious, pervious, entered English at around the same time, but it is much less common.

The best way to listen to Book of the Month LIVE is in our app. Actor and author Krysten Ritter stopped by our headquarters to talk about her new book, Retreat, and the real-life con artists who inspired the thriller. She revealed her superpower, her kryptonite, and her various skills and accomplishments as an author, actor, director, musician and, of course, professional knitter. When a sharp-witted, serial con artist assumes a wealthy socialite's identity in Punta Mita, she doesn't quite know what she's getting herself into—until it might be too late.
