Recorded live at Terrificon, this dynamic discussion brings together two of comics' most celebrated storytellers — Dan Jurgens, the writer/artist behind defining eras of Superman, and Tom King, the Eisner Award–winning author of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow. Jurgens reflects on shaping the Man of Steel's modern mythology, from “The Death of Superman” to guiding his evolution across decades, while King dives deep into his critically acclaimed reimagining of Kara Zor-El's journey across the cosmos. Together, they explore what makes these Kryptonian icons timeless, how their stories inspire across generations, and the creative challenges of keeping them relevant in an ever-changing world. Packed with behind-the-scenes insights, humor, and heartfelt moments, it's a must-listen for fans of Superman, Supergirl, and the enduring power of hope.

Today we talk about John Henry Irons who stepped up as the Man of Steel when Superman died, retired (kinda) when Superman returned, started going by Steel, and has been trying to clean up his past mistakes as best he can.

John welcomes second-term Democratic congressman and former mayor of Long Beach, CA, Robert Garcia to talk about the imperative for his party to move away from “respectability politics” to combat the Trump 2.0 agenda. Garcia explains why the Texas redistricting fight transcends the particulars of the Lone Star State as a central part of Donald Trump's plan not just to steal the 2026 midterm elections but to stay in office past 2028—and the Jefrey Epstein scandal, far from subsiding during the congressional recess, is only gathering steam. Garcia also waxes poetic about his love for Superman, what the character means to many gay Americans such as himself, and why, for all of David Corenswet's swagger in the role on the big screen this summer, Christopher Reeve remains (now and forever) the gold standard Man of Steel.

Opening Credits: This week on Live Breathe Film with Doug and Murph...Feature Presentation: 2025 Film and Television Mid-Year Recommendations - While we have a lot of picks that correlated with our most anticipated movies and shows for the year, we also have a number of surprises that show why it's important to check out smaller, less hyped movies and shows like Black Bag and Paradise, which are not based around existing IP.Mid-Credits: Ring the Damn Summer Box Office Pool Bell - While our Summer Box Office Pool is technically still going on, it's becoming a foregone conclusion who is taking home the gold as Superman achieved something for DC (and Doug) that the Man of Steel hasn't seen since 1980.

Send us a textSuperman flies onto screens with a divisive splash as James Gunn attempts to resurrect DC's cinematic universe. Our hosts Michael, Addy, and a special guest dive into whether this fresh take soars or crashes under the weight of universe-building ambitions.What makes Superman so challenging to adapt? The team explores why this iconic character has struggled in modern cinema, comparing Gunn's approach to previous incarnations from Zack Snyder's gritty Man of Steel to Brandon Rauth's Superman Returns. They question whether any filmmaker can recapture the magic of Christopher Reeve's classic portrayal and if Gunn was the right choice to helm DC's rebirth.The conversation heats up around the film's juggling act of introducing too many characters while trying to tell Superman's story. "Instead of giving us 10 million different characters, why don't you just flesh out the rivalry between Lex Luthor and Superman?" one host demands. They debate the political messaging that becomes more apparent on second viewing, the on-the-nose dialogue about morality, and whether the stellar cast performances can save a script lacking nuance. With ratings ranging from a dismal 1/5 to a respectable 7.5/10, this spirited debate captures the polarizing nature of modern superhero cinema and what it means for DC's future.Subscribe, share your thoughts in the comments, and join our passionate community of movie lovers who aren't afraid to speak their minds about the films that shape our cultural landscape.

As a young man, he journeys to discover where he came from and what he was sent here to do.

Send us a textAs promised, this week on episode #109 of "Fabulous Film & Friends we're going to weigh in on the two big ticket super hero extravaganzas from the Summer of 2025:  James Gunn's Superman starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Skyler Gisando, Wendell Pierce, Edi Gathegi, Nathan Fillion, Isabela Merced, Sara Sampaio and Nicholas Hoult up against The Fantastic Four: First Steps directed by Matt Shakman and starring Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss Bachrach, Joseph Quinn, Julia Garner and Ralph Ineson. Returning for yet another daringly detailed deep dive into the world of fantastical four colored fantasies is nephew to a comic bookstore Kingpin, author, teacher and hypnotherapist, Joe Field. Before we blast off into the Ultra-Negative Zone, the synopses: In 2025's Superman, it is 3 years into his mission and Earth's Champion, The Man of Steel has met his match in Lex Luthor who causes a distraction with a giant monster and breaks into Superman's secret Fortress of Solitude where he translates a message from Superman's parents in which they instruct their son Kal El –Superman's Kryptonian name-- to take over earth and spread his seed. Using this jarringly awkward info to turn public opinion against our hero, Luthor has also made a clone of Superman called Ultraman who continually batters and beats the Man of Steel into submission. On top of that, Luthor has a Pocket Universe where he jails his enemies including his ex-girlfriends. And Lex has Ultraman place Superman in a cage with another a super powered being named Metamorpho who can weaken Superman by turning his hands into Kryptonite. Ultimately, Luthor's cruelty overwhelms Metamorpho who helps Superman escape the pocket universe but it in doing so, the unstable dimensional rift threatens to swallow Earth. It is only with the help of scrappy reporter Lois Lane and a team of heroes called The Justice Gang that Superman that is able to beat Ultraman, Luthor and close the rift. There's also some political stuff going on with two made up countries going to War because of Luthor's manipulations. In The Fantastic Four: First Steps it has been four years since Reed Richards, Sue Storm, her brother Johnny and Ben Grimm were transformed by cosmic rays into the world's protectors, super stretchy genius Mr. Fantastic, The Invisible Woman, The Human Torch and the rock man known as The Thing who are biggest celebrities on the planet. The exciting news that team leaders Reed Richards and Sue Storm are expecting their first child is put on the back burner by the arrival of the Silver Surfer the herald of the planet eating Celestial known as Galactus. Galactus tells the Fantastic Four that he will spare Earth in exchange for their yet unborn child, but that his too high a price to pay. With the public opinion against them, and world watching nervously, the team springs into action and devises a incredible plan to teleport planet earth into the far reaches of space. But then the Surfer and Galactus arrive and put the kabosh on the plan so the FF amends the plan to send Galactus himself into the far reaches of space, which seemed like the better strategy to begin with. So which movie was dumber and more suitable for booger eating six year olds? Find out!Watch to the video podcast on Youtube:https://youtu.be/cZCszsepEVM

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.

SUPERMAN Now the Highest GROSSING Domestic Superman Movie which there will be a lot of people who will push back on that because narratives. I got over the terms used for the Superman box office and some dumb takes.

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.

Up, UP and… SIDEWAYS? The PT Gang (unofficial title) of James, Miles and Jam wrestle with Superman: where the new film flies and where it falls, how it captures key character elements Snyder-bros missed, but ALSO where Snyderverse-haters are dead wrong! Find out where we thought James Gunn brought the light, or the kryptonite, to the Man of Steel. One thing's for sure: he has issues with God… Watch the episode here.

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.

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?

Today on Word Balloon, we kick off Part 1 of a deep-dive conversation with legendary writer, artist, and inker Jerry Ordway. Jerry shares his thoughts on the new Superman film and reflects on his own legacy with the Man of Steel—both on the page and behind the scenes.We also dig into his acclaimed work on the Justice Society of America, a cornerstone of DC's Golden Age revival. But that's not all—we get into the nuts and bolts of comic book production, with Ordway breaking down how the cheap paper stock of the '60s through the '80s warped colors, muted tones, and frustrated artists. It's a rare, behind-the-curtain look at the technical and creative challenges of working in the pre-digital era of comics. Whether you're a Superman superfan or a student of the artform, this is a must-listen conversation with one of DC's most important storytellers.

Superman recovers after his first fight against the Atom Man while Henry Miller finds a new ally in his quest to kill the Man of Steel and rule the world! The epic adventure continues in these episodes that originally aired on Mutual from November 5 to November 16, 1945.

In the Movie Review, Mike talks about Superman directed by James Gunn. Mike has never been a fan of the character but did this movie change that?
