Superman (2025) brings audiences a version of Lois Lane and Clark Kent who are clearly very hot for each other. But could they ever actually consummate their relationship?“Putting it delicately…do you…eat?”Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Lois LaneWelcome to Does it Fly? After Dark, the podcast that puts your favorite pop culture concepts to the test…but this time in a slightly more adult setting. That's right, for this episode, we were live in front of an audience (at Mission Brewery in San Diego, California) with our brilliant friends Rosie Knight and Jason Concepcion of I Heart Media's X-Ray Vision podcast. Honestly, we needed all the help we could get to discuss the hot button issue of the moment: how is it possible for Superman and Lois Lane to have sex?Look, anyone who watched Rachel Brosnahan and David Corenswet as Lois and Clark on screen in James Gunn's brilliant Superman movie this year absolutely could feel the heat coming off those characters from the screen. So it's not “how COULD they” so much as it is “seriously, HOW could they?” As we all know, Kryptonians are made of, um, harder stuff than humans, and folks have spent the better part of 80 years quietly asking how Superman and Lois can be intimate without serious injury to the human part of the equation.Sure, there aren't many actual scientific studies involving human to alien sex, so we examined this heat-vision hot topic from all positions…sorry…angles in a raucous, slightly more R-rated format than usual. Check it out, but beware…this episode contains adult themes and strong language!Watch the video version here! https://youtu.be/4E3Zc3uT97MThis episode of Does it Fly is brought to you by Upper Deck. Fleer Brilliants Superman shines the light on Superman and Metropolis in a bright and brilliant new way!Whether it's the 90-card base set on rainbow foil board featuring art by some of the greatest artists in Superman history or highly collectible inserts like “Classic Covers,” “Last Son of Krypton,” “World of Metropolis,” Truth, Justice, and a Batter Tomorrow” or the super rare “Powered by the Sun” cards, Fleer Brilliants Superman is the ultimate tribute to the Man of Steel and his friends, family, and foes.Head to upperdeckstore.com to start your collection, today!FURTHER VIEWINGMuch of what prompted our discussion about Clark Kent and Lois Lane actually getting down to business came from the radiation burns level hot chemistry that co-stars David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan have on screen in James Gunn's Superman (2025). You can now watch this on HBO Max if you need further proof. But also!Let's also refer you back to Richard Lester and Richard Donner's Superman II (1980) in which Clark (Christopher Reeve) temporarily gives up his powers to be with Lois (Margot Kidder) and there's a pretty sensual moment of the two of them in bed together in the Fortress of Solitude. That being said, Clark was a “normal man” there, but the fact that he had to give up his powers in order to get there might be an indication.Mid-1990s TV series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman often featured their Lois (Teri Hatcher) and Clark (Dean Cain) in an ongoing will they/won't they fury of sexual tension (they eventually did). But the specific episode where they learn they can't have children together because of Clark's alien biology was the series finale, season 4, episode 22.And, of course, Smallville was a remarkably horny show and there's uh…several episodes dealing with the matter of Clark (Tom Welling) having sex with human women. But one in particular is season 7, episode 7, “Wrath” in which Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk) gains powers so Clark doesn't have to worry about holding back. But the real fun with Smallville is the long and winding and horny journey, so feel free to just wallow in Clark's awkwardness throughout.We also have fun with the question of the “kryptonite condom” raised by Kevin Smith's slacker comedy classic Mallrats.FURTHER READINGDo you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! Man of Steel, Woman of KleenexYou think we're the first people to consider this topic? Famed sci-fi and fantasy author Larry Niven first tackled this topic way back in 1969 (nice!). It's available online to read here.And in the Comics…For more than half of Superman's published history, it was more or less implied that he was pretty chaste. Aside from the major romantic players in his life like Lana Lang and Lois Lane, Superman has at various times been intimate with Maxima (a powerful alien who sees Supes as perfect to have kids with), Wonder Woman (during DC's “New 52” era and a fling which is almost certainly no longer canon), and others. But the real progression of his romance with Lois Lane, which eventually leads to the birth of their son, Jon, began in the mid-90s and Jon's birth and its aftermath are depicted in the Convergence: Superman and Lois and Clark limited series by Dan Jurgens and Lee Weeks which are pretty much the starting point for their modern/current relationship.WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?The companion piece to this episode is our much more family-friendly examination of the concept of Superman getting his powers from the yellow sun of Earth.And for something not remotely sexy, we looked at the horrifying reality of the Joker toxin from Batman (1989) here.FOLLOW US!Stay in the loop!

Named after my favorite Kevin Smith film. I guess that makes Eleven- Silent Bob and Max-Jay?Just like Mallrats, we don't start at the mall, we start at the rat farm where Billy is running away seemingly unharmed, because of racist white male privilege probably. Mike lies to Eleven because as we find out, just because "friends don't lie" it doesn't mean boyfriends don't, boyfriends lie- ALL.THE.TIME. Hopper is a little too happy about El's sadness but that's okay because he will have a date with Karma later at Enzo's. He celebrates with Joyce and almost slips on a MAGNETand Joyce fixates on those for this entire season starting now Billy smashes Karen's head in but not really, and then a lifeguard named Heather says "take me to him" but also not really... and this man can not stand the heat of facing the reality of women around him and like most men deals with that logically by kidnapping heather, I wonder if this is even the first time he's done this. We find out that he has been recruited into being the foot soldier of a genocidal maniac but to be honest if he'd have lived in 1940 or today the same thing would have happened to him anyway. Max takes El to the mall where she shops and explodes orange julius all over that bitch Stacey (Karma at the mall for rejecting Dustin) Max is teaching El to be herself and to be a strong independent woman and it is literally the best day of El's life even after she dumps Mike's lying assMike I know it's the 80's but shopping at the mall with just $3.50 is completely ridiculous Hopper has to stop people protesting Don- I mean the mayor because of the mall and Hopper begrudgingly arrests them and sends them off with Calvin because he's gotta get ready for dinner (it's not a date) riiight, that's why you had flo go get you a brand new magnum PI shirt.But Joyce has to leave work to go to the middle school science teacher's house because MAGNETS And Hopper is left at Enzo's all alone because Joyce stood him up because MAGNETS Dustin and the rest of the scoops troop are busy all episode decoding a russian message and Steve figures out the call is coming from inside the mall because of a song from a horse... Stranger things indeed, yall get your clues about as strangely as Spencer Hastings when she got a phone number from a bird... Nancy and Jonathon are being the journalist photographer duo and honestly, why would their lives or careers ever drive them apart, they literally have coinciding jobs, their dream life is literally the same one, another rat pops and it's disgusting and all the other rats slime shows up at the end to save heather from Billy I presume because what the freak man? Is this a hobby? Where did you learn to tie up girls and take them to abandoned buildings because this does NOT look like your first rodeo, let's hope the rat blob saves her in time :)

Joey Lauren Adams was born in North Little Rock, Arkansas, the youngest of three children. Her father was a lumber yard owner. Adams grew up in the Overbrook neighborhood of North Little Rock and graduated from North Little Rock Northeast High School in 1986. She announced her intention to pursue acting after one year as an exchange student in Australia. In 1991, Adams appeared in "Top of the Heap", the 100th episode of Married... with Children, and subsequently starred in its short-lived spinoff. In 1993, Adams landed her first major film role as Simone in Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused. The same year, she appeared in the Saturday Night Live spinoff film Coneheads as one of Connie Conehead's friends. Two years later, Adams appeared in Mallrats, written and directed by Kevin Smith. The two started dating during the film's post-production, and their relationship provided the inspiration for Smith's next film, Chasing Amy. In 1997's Chasing Amy, Adams played the lead role of Alyssa Jones, a lesbian who falls in love with a man, played by Ben Affleck. In addition to her acting work on the film, Adams wrote and performed the song "Alive" for the film's soundtrack. Adams' performance in Chasing Amy earned her both the 1997 Chicago Film Critics Award and Las Vegas Film Critics Society Award for Most Promising Actress, and a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress-Motion Picture Musical or Comedy. In 1999, Adams appeared in her first big-budget Hollywood release, playing Adam Sandler's love interest in the successful comedy Big Daddy. She then went on to appear in many smaller films, including Beautiful and In the Shadows. In 2006, Adams released her directorial debut film, Come Early Morning, starring Ashley Judd, Jeffrey Donovan, Diane Ladd, Tim Blake Nelson and Laura Prepon. The film, shot on location in Little Rock, Arkansas, was selected for the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. Adams is also known for her distinctive voice which one film critic referred to as that of a "sex-kitten-on-helium". Regarding her voice, Adams commented: "It's not a normal voice. It doesn't fit into people's preconceptions about what a woman's voice should sound like. My mom doesn't think I have an unusual voice, though. I'm sure it's helped me get some roles. But Chasing Amy I almost didn't get. There was concern the voice would grate on some people, which some critics said it did." Another film critic said that whether viewers loved it or hated it, her voice had "the potential to hypnotize.”

Case and Sam are looking back at the earliest episodes of the show! Check out their thoughts on this classic episode when Case sat down with Geoff Moonen and chatted about Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back!   Overview Episode dedicated to Kevin Smith's influence following his recent heart attack, underscoring the importance of his work in nerd culture. View Askewniverse detailed as an interconnected film universe that began with Mallrats and culminated in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Jason Mewes faced significant personal challenges during filming, impacting production due to substance abuse issues. Film characterized as having a weak overall plot with awkward transitions, relying on 'and then' storytelling. Subplot regarding animal rights deemed problematic and outdated, particularly in post-9/11 context. Noted lack of diversity in casting and representation, with a predominantly white male ensemble. Humor criticized for not aging well, featuring outdated jokes and problematic themes reminiscent of early 2000s comedy. Suggested structural improvements include framing devices and varying visual styles to enrich storytelling. Interview with Sam introduced new perspectives while affirming original hosts' critiques of structural flaws in the film. Overall legacy reflects a blend of quotability and cultural relevance, highlighting Kevin Smith's early comedy style compared to current film pacing.   Notes Episode Context & Background (00:05 - 07:17) Another Pass at Another Pass podcast episode featuring hosts discussing a previous episode about Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. Episode prompted by Kevin Smith's recent heart attack, wanting to honor his work and influence on nerd culture. 49-minute brisk episode with good audio quality featuring Case Aiken and Jeff Moonan discussing Kevin Smith's filmography. Discussion positioned as 'most meta episodes' - an episode about an episode about a movie that references many other movies. Kevin Smith Universe Analysis (08:40 - 19:26) View Askewniverse explained as interconnected reality starting accidentally with Mallrats, tying together story elements from previous films. Movie served as intended conclusion to the View Askewniverse with Jay and Silent Bob as main characters after being minor characters in Clerks. Jason Mewes struggled with substance issues during filming, drinking heavily while trying to get off drugs, making production difficult. Film positioned as 'greatest disc two of some other movie ever made' - ultimate bonus feature content rather than standalone film. Film Structure & Content Issues (21:58 - 48:37) Movie suffers from awkward transitions and 'and then' storytelling rather than consequential plot progression. Light plot structure with random elements, particularly weak animal rights terrorist subplot that feels dated post-9/11. Racial and gender representation problems - almost exclusively white cast with limited female characters in meaningful roles. Film's humor hasn't aged well with numerous gay jokes, misogynistic elements, and dated comedy style reminiscent of Austin Powers era. Proposed Improvements (24:51 - 42:01) Restructure with framing device - open with Jay and Silent Bob at diner with Suzanne the orangutan, telling story in flashback. Jay as unreliable narrator would allow for cutting awkward transitions and explaining absurd elements as his perspective. Blues Brothers structure suggested - characters piss off everyone along the way, leading to massive chase sequence at climax. Different visual styles for Jay's version vs. Bob's version vs. reality to distinguish narrative perspectives. Kevin Smith's Evolution as Filmmaker (12:18 - 42:01) Smith writes about his current life experiences - Clerks while working retail, Mallrats about studio experience, Chasing Amy about creative ownership. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back represents Smith dealing with internet trolls and fan expectations in nascent online era. Zack and Miri Make a Porno mentioned as better examination of filmmaking process, with Jason Mewes delivering strong performance. Smith's limitation as visual director acknowledged - focuses on dialogue and character interactions over cinematography. Cultural Context & Legacy (07:17 - 17:45) Film represents early 2000s comedy style with extended gags and slower pacing compared to modern rapid-fire editing. Miramax studio system comparison made to classic Hollywood, allowing for cross-pollination of actors and characters. Movie's quotability exceeds its actual quality as a complete film experience. Clerks cartoon praised as superior Kevin Smith work with only six episodes but high quality content. ️ Sam's Perspective (New Co-host) (58:03 - 01:02:25) Sam agrees with original hosts' assessment - movie is quotable and fun but structurally flawed. Acknowledges problematic elements while noting they're not mean-spirited but reflect era's comedy standards. Harold and Kumar comparison resonates - better execution of similar stoner road trip concept. Kevin Smith's wife's involvement in diamond thief subplot makes misogynistic elements slightly less problematic but still problematic.

Steve Gorman, Paul Fletcher and Kevin Smith (aka Silent Bob) on the unbelievable way Smith got the rights to Dogma back just in the nick of time for the movie's 25th anniversary, why it's hard to top his very first concert, the country icon that completely blew him away and his thoughts on bringing Mallrats back to Eden Prairie Center.

We continue our look back on the "Class of '95" with a roundtable review of Kevin Smith's sophomore effort, Mallrats!This "day in the life" (of a mall) comedy centers on recently dumped romantic, TS (Jeremy London) and his annoying best friend, Brodie (Jason Lee). While navigating choppy relationship waters, they must also contend with a cast of weirdos and malcontents; TS's ex's overbearing dad (Michael Rooker); and the filming of New Jersey's lamest gameshow.Mallrats was a big flop for Smith and Universal, who had banked on the writer/director's indie sensation, Clerks. Despite bad press and empty theaters (and Smith's public apology for the movie on a late-night talk show), Mallrats has developed a cult following over the last three decades, and is worthy of reappraisal.

This week on Totally 80s and 90s Recall, Dave, Rob, and Kurt go full flannel as they rewind to 1995 and dive headfirst into Kevin Smith's cult classic Mallrats—a movie that taught a generation never to trust a chocolate covered pretzel, stay out of the back of Volkswagens, and for the love of Stan Lee, fear the escalator Our trio of podcasting mallrats unpacks the film's most unforgettable moments, from Brodie's unapologetic comic book obsession to Jay and Silent Bob's cartoonish chaos, Trish the Dish's questionable book topic and why the hell is the guy at the Fashionable Male so angry all day? Expect plenty of 90s nostalgia, deep dives into VHS-era fashion choices, and at least one wild discussion about the difference between the food court and mid mall snacking. Plus, why is it so hazardous being the Easter Bunny? Whether you loved the movie or just hung out in a mall once in 1995, this episode's got your back like a security guard with a grudge and a walkie-talkie   Pandora: https://pandora.app.link/iq8iShjXOLb   Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/totally-80s-and-90s-recall/id1662282694    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/11dk5TUoLUk4euD1Te1EYG?si=b37496eb6e784408    Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/1960c8f9-158d-43ac-89a6-d868ea1fe077/totally-80s-and-90s-recall    YouTube Podcasts: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLH9lGakNgCDZUkkHMUu88uXYMJu_33Rab&si=xo0EEVJRSwS68mWZ   Contact Us: Website: https://totally80s90srecall.podbean.com/  Email: 80s90srecall@gmail.com LinkTree:https://linktr.ee/80s90srecall

One of the most cherished aspects of the filmgoing experience explored on the AKAPAD Film Buff Podcast is the magic of experiencing a movie as if for the first time. Tonight's episode captures that rare phenomenon, a moment so uncommon it has occurred only a handful of times in the podcast's history. In this episode, AKAPAD passionately argues why Kevin Smith's impact on the 1990s indie film scene was as transformative as George Lucas's influence on cinema in the 1980s.
