The James Gunn Era of the new DCU kicks off with Superman, and Earth's Mightiest Critics have a lot to say about it!David Corenswet stars as the latest big-screen incarnation of the Man of Steel in this wacky, rebooted-but-already-established universe. Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) is out to destroy Superman's public image so that he can hatch a nefarious plan involving geopolitical war. Throw in the misfit Justice Gang, Metropolis-munching Kaiju, pocket universes, Internet trolls, and a bizarre twist on Supes' origin story, and you have one of the boldest relaunches in cinema history.But "bold" doesn't necessarily mean "good". And in this week's pugnacious panel, the EMC will duke it out over whether or not Gunn has laid a promising path for future DCU films--or if Superman signals the death knell of not only a franchise, but an entire genre!Join us for a super-scrappy and spoilerific roundtable review of one of summer's most highly anticipated (and divisive) blockbusters!Subscribe, like, and comment on Kicking the Seat here on YouTube, and check us out at:kickseat.comXLetterboxdBlueSkyInstagramFacebookShow LinksWatch the Superman (2025) trailer.ICYMI: Watch Ian's Superman 2025 Public Service Announcement, including his thoughts on the DCU moving forward!As teased in the show, Ian interviewed Rachel Brosnahan a few years ago, during her Marvelous Mrs. Maisel days.

The Atom Man is in Metropolis! The Nazi agent with kryptonite in his veins gets a job at the Daily Planet as reporter "Henry Miller," and the Man of Steel is about to meet his greatest and deadliest enemy. Superman and the Atom Man have their first titanic battle as this epic story continues in these chapters that originally aired on Mutual between October 22 and November 2, 1945.

Mike is joined by Father Malone (Midnight Viewing) and Chris Stachiw (The Kulturecast) to discuss James Gunn's first foray as the head of the "DCU" with his 2025 film, Superman. It's a new interpretation of the Man of Steel as David Corenswet takes to the skies as the lone son of Krypton watches over the people of Earth, much to the chagrin of Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult). It's a surprisingly decent entry from DC that may pave the way to a less-dour vision of superheroes.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.

28 Days Later: The Smallville EditionSeems like the writers were thin on story ideas this time around and brought us Thirst, Pt. II. A random case of kryptonite rabies has hit Metropolis, but looks like instead of vampires we get horny zombies. Clark continues his hero work while working at the Daily Planet. Oliver is still moping for no reason, and manages to let Lois turn into a zombie. Tess infects almost half the city. Chloe, who is still a villain, teams up with Emil to find a cure. Major Zod hates being left out of world-conquering plans.Enjoy the show and, as always, leave those FIVE STARS!

At last, I finally understand the dangers of investing in Krypto Director James Gunn leaves Guardians of the Galaxy behind to launch DC Studios, starting with the 2025 resurrection of Superman. But can David Corenswet be a Man of Steel to Metropolis after Lex Luthor (Nicholas Hoult) smears his good name in a social media campaign that questions why dad Bradley Cooper sent him to Earth? And is the narrative even harder to control when reporter-girlfriend Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) challenges the way “Big Blue” protects foreign countries from invasion? Get the full scoop as the Now Playing Gang reunites.

It's a bird! It's a plane! Nope! It's the WAS IT GOOD THOUGH PODCAST here to discuss James Gunn's SUPERMAN with Anthony from the Talkin Ish Podcast a Podcast Amongst Friends and Michael! Jazz leads us the men geek out over DC and we discuss was this a different variation of Superman or was he just the wheel being turned again? We get into the introduction of the film, which was shared months ago, and how we're being Introduced to not Kal-el, but Superman was being humbled. Why did the people of Metropolis not ran out of fear when being attacked , however when the Gor-El message was decoded , they began to turn against the strongest meta human we've met? What more is coming from James Gunn and Dc, but most importantly, WAS IT GOOD THOUGH !?

Sci Fi July launches with a titan of cinematic futurism: Metropolis (1927). Fritz Lang's visually stunning epic set the blueprint for dystopian science fiction, blending Gothic horror, political allegory, and machine-age spectacle. Co-written with Thea von Harbou, the film envisions a divided city of soaring towers and subterranean toil, where Freder—the privileged son of master planner Joh Fredersen—awakens to injustice through his encounter with the spiritual leader of the working class, Maria.Mike is joined by Ranjit Sandhu and Federico Bertolini to discuss the many versions of the film, its fraught production, the complex legacy of Lang and von Harbou, and why Rotwang's lab never goes out of style. From Giger to Gaga, Metropolis casts a long, haunting shadow.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-projection-booth-podcast--5513239/support.

Isma y nuestro invitado, creador de cómics de Sadhaka Studio ("The Fearless Zombie Hunters" y "Rainbow Warriors"), cineasta, y crítico de cine, Manuel Ríos Sarabia, platican todo sobre 'Superman' de James Gunn, alias 'Guardians of Metropolis'

Look Up in the Sky.....Superman is back and this time he's directed by James Gunn who also helmed the Guardians of the Galaxy Trilogy before switching sides in the superhero genre to now lead DC Studios and this is the FIRST official release now kicking off a brand new extended universe....hopefully.  There's a lot riding on this cinematic re-introduction to the Man of Steel (THAT film was the last time) and this time, he's played by David Corenswet (Twisters, We Own This City) in a story which takes place several years into this superhero's introduction to the world.  Once again, he also works at the Daily Planet alongside his secret love, intrepid reporter Lois Lane now played by Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) and his arch nemisis is local Metropolis billionaire Lex Luthor played by Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max Fury Road, Warm Bodies, Nosferatu, The Menu).  But beyond a few other returning characters, everything else is VERY different from previous Superman movies....including the presence of other meta-humans on the planet, two living parents still back in Kansas, and....the live action introduction of Krypto the Dog?  It's time once again to find it we can STILL believe that a man can fly......Host & Editor: Geoff GershonEditor: Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

Arguably the biggest blockbuster movie of the summer is out this weekend, Superman featuring David Corenswet as the NEW face of Metropolis. That and the return of Dexter: Resurrection are the two featured pieces heading into the weekend with our friend Tim Lammers!

In this episode of Talkin' Lost, we dive deep into the eerie, enigmatic world of Lost Season 2, Episode 21 — titled "Question Mark." Join us as we unpack Mr. Eko's spiritual journey, Locke's crisis of faith, and that mind-bending revelation inside the Pearl Station. We break down the character arcs, the meaning of signs and symbols, and how this pivotal episode reshapes our understanding of the Hatch — and the Island's purpose itself.Then we leap from the mysterious jungle of the Island to the bustling streets of Metropolis for a discussion on James Gunn's Superman. With filming wrapped and the first look at David Corenswet's Man of Steel making waves, we explore what Gunn's vision could mean for the future of the DCU. Is this a fresh start or a nostalgic throwback? How will Gunn balance hope, heart, and heroism in a post-Snyder world?

Frank and Squeaks dive headfirst into James Gunn's Superman, the movie that's recharging DC with new energy and old-school heart. They break down everything—from the pacing that mimics a stack of comics, to character performances, visual highs and lows, and why this might be one of the most human versions of Superman we've ever seen. They also debate Guy Gardner's scene-stealing turn, Lex Luthor's layered villainy, the potential setup for Bizarro, and what it all means for the future of the DC Universe. This one's packed, passionate, and full of geeky joy.

Our Theatrical Recommendation 51:00 Closing Remarks Key Takeaways: James Gunn's Superman blends nostalgic charm with a modern, fast-paced narrative. David Corenswet's Superman is emotionally grounded and feels deeply human. Lex Luthor, played by Nicholas Hoult, delivers a fresh take that balances public genius with private obsession. Guy Gardner and Mr. Terrific both exceed expectations, with standout scenes that highlight their personalities. The film's pacing mirrors a comic book run—nonstop but rewarding. The twist about Superman's Kryptonian parents adds emotional weight without breaking canon. Visual storytelling uses lighting—especially sunlight—as a powerful symbolic tool. Bizarro may be hinted at for future films, adding another exciting layer. While some characters like Hawkgirl were underwhelming, others like Krypto left a lasting impact. Quotes: “This is the Superman I pretended to be when I was running around the house as a kid.” – Frank “Lex Luthor isn't trying to rule the world—he's just obsessed with stopping Superman.” – Squeaks “It feels like you picked up a stack of DC comics and read them in one sitting.” – Squeaks “David Corenswet might be the most human Superman we've seen on screen.” – Frank Call to Action: Love what you heard?

Da fliegt er wieder: James Gunn bringt SUPERMAN zurück ins Kino und darüber müssen Schlogger und Schröck natürlich reden. Denn auch der neue (und süße) Mann aus Stahl scheint doch zu spalten - ob es nun Metropolis oder unsere Meinungen sind. Darüber hinaus schwärmen die beiden aber noch ein wenig für THE BALLAD OF WALLIS ISLAND, diskutieren anhand von DREAMING DOGS oder freuen sich (eher mehr einseitig) über die Rückkehr von SIE NANNTEN IHN MÜCKE. Zusätzlich kann Schlogger noch was zu BRICK erzählen, der zusammen mit DER WEISSE HAI: DIE GESCHICHTE HINTER DEM BLOCKBUSTER, GARFIELD: EINE EXTRA PORTION ABENTEUER und dem indischen Brutalo-Actioner KILL zum Streaming-Angebot in dieser Woche zählt. Abgerundet durch die Mediatheken-Tipps, die heute aus FOOTLOOSE, DIE LEGENDE VOM OZEANPIANISTEN, dem Krimi-Drama IN DER NACHT DES 12., THE GANGSTER, THE COP & THE DEVIL und einer weiteren Zugfahrt (neben KILL) namens SNOWPIERCER bestehen. Und bevor wir zum Schluss kommen, noch ein Hinweis, für alle, die SUPERMAN schon gesehen und/oder zu wenig über den neuen DC-Film von uns gehört haben: die Talk-Folge am Samstag wird einen langen, breiten Spoiler-Talk zu SUPERMAN enthalten, zu dem dann auch noch ein richtiger großer Fan und Fachmann hinzustößt. Bis dahin wünschen wir Euch aber erstmal viel Spaß mit dieser Folge, im Kino oder auf der Couch und sehen uns hoffentlich dann wieder am Samstag. Bleibt gesund und gut drauf. Tschüss.

Last summer, our city played host to DC Studios' filming of the upcoming film "Superman". Early trailer footage gives Cleveland much love, putting many of our city's landmarks front and center. It was a sort of homecoming for Superman, who was created by two Glenville High School students in 1933, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. Adding to the anticipation, the Siegel and Shuster Society, an all-volunteer nonprofit, announced they will construct a Superman statue in downtown Cleveland.rnrnBefore the July 11th theatrical release of "Superman," we will be joined by Bill Garvey from the Greater Cleveland Film Commission and Valentino Zullo with the Siegel and Shuster Society. Ideastream's Mike McIntyre will lead a conversation on what it takes to bring Hollywood to The CLE and how we can all honor the creators of The Man of Steel.

Show notes provided by Joe PelusoTen days before Christmas, 1978 cinema fans of all ages were the recipients of a wonderful gift--"...the gift of flight". It was THE Christmas Season that delivered the granddaddy of all super-hero films--SUPERMAN:THE MOVIE.   Come with us now as we break through the earthly bonds of time and space, and join your hosts James, Richie and Joe for a trek back to the late 1970's (Disco, Yankees World Championships, polyester, and incredible films) as they critique the film that made "you believe a man could fly". From the sterile surface of Krypton, to the rolling corn fields of Kansas, onto the concrete canyons of Metropolis, the guys relive the grand adventure that reintroduced The Man of Steel toa world much in need of an iconic hero.    Superman/Clark Kent, Jor-El and Lara, Ma and Pa Kent, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, Otis, Miss Teschmacher(!), and of course the villain everyone loves to hate--Lex Luthor--all brought to vivid life by skilled actors, and a visionary director; a cast of creatives that took the spawn of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and delivered an offering that would forever alter the genre of heroic cinema. The guys discuss all these aspects of the film, and more as they have a "super" time getting caught up in a wild comic book fantasy that continues to deliver the adventure, excitement, romance, and laughs nearly a halfcentury after its bombastic debut!    I know I speak for James and Richie, when I say we had aKrypton-sized blast recording this special episode.. And we hope you will experience the same fun when you give it a listen. Just be sure to look up in the sky because as Lois Lane found out to her amazement after Superman rescues her for the first time--in SUPERMAN you always have "a friend".

The time is finally here. My most anticipated movie of the year - James Gunn's SUPERMAN - is finally arriving in theaters this weekend. I had the incredible opportunity to see this movie at an early Fan First Screening yesterday, which is how I'm getting this review out about the time it is debuting worldwide, in a select few countries today. This is the official, theatrical launch of James Gunn and Peter Safran's DCU, that I really hope will actually have the chance to thrive. I love DC Comics, and I've loved Superman since I was a small child. I was introduced to the character through the Justice League cartoons and the original 1978 Richard Donner film. I dressed up as Superman and tried to do the curl and all of that. It has been a LONG wait to finally have another Superman movie on the big screen, and - boy, oh boy - has it been a tumultuous one.I was a huge fan of Henry Cavill's Superman and am one of the people who love Man of Steel. Zack Snyder's Justice League is one of my favorite comic book movies of all-time too, but the toxicity around the excitement and hate for this new movie has been rough. It's the 'sports-ation' of movie fandoms that has really frustrated me over the last few years, and it's showcased no more clearly than how people talked about this movie up until release (and probably after release too). That being said, because the character means so much to me and because James Gunn's film really resonate with me on an emotional level, I've always known he was going to deliver a worthy film that starts the Big Blue again. You'd know that about me if you've listened to any of my reviews of James Gunn's films and shows, which are all glowing, and listened to my breakdowns of the trailers. The trailers certified for me that it seemed like Gunn was finally taking the character back to its much needed hopeful and optimistic, yet slightly retro, roots. So, does James Gunn's Superman deliver on its promises; is it the truest version of Superman we've had in a long time? Find out in this SPOILER-FREE review!Superman:Written and Directed by: James GunnSuperman created by: Jerry Siegel & Joe ShusterProduced by: James Gunn, Peter SafranExecutive Producers: Nikolas Korda, Chantel Nong Vo, Lars P.

Cities. According to Google, there's approximately 35,000 of them in the United States. Well, we here at DT!HQ believe that, of these approximately 35,000 cities, not nearly enough of them have their own superhero! That's why we're putting our heads together to solve this problem. Take a picture by the sign and smash a penny at the Welcome Center while we decide "which city deserves it's own hometown hero?" Matt is introducing us to a hero who is just a city boy. Andrew is introducing us to a hero who is just a vibe. Todd is introducing us to a city whose population just really needs this. Come see us LIVE!

Superman Week Soars in St. Louis  This week, Superman isn't just flying across the big screen—he's everywhere in St. Louis. From early movie screenings to museum interviews and ballpark photo ops, Mostly Superheroes is celebrating the Man of Steel in full heroic fashion.

“You'll believe a man can fly.” Join your favourite TransAtlantic podcasting duo – Ian & Liam (Megs couldn't make it—she's busy spinning the Earth backwards to reclaim her weekend while KevDog's off searching for crystals in the Arctic... or just stuck in a phone booth with no signal - as we don the cape, slick back the hair, and fly faster than a speeding bullet into our 286th episode, reviewing Richard Donner's iconic superhero origin story Superman (1978). We're trading classical guitars and military trenches for red trunks and crystal fortresses as we discuss: We look at how Superman redefined the superhero genre before it was a genre—and why it still matters nearly 50 years later. Why Christopher Reeve may be the most perfectly cast superhero of all time, and how his dual performance still holds up. Ian dives into the film's structure and why the three-act split (Krypton, Kansas, Metropolis) feels so bold and ambitious. We condemn and then forgive Teen Clark (Jeff East) and  do likewise for Brando but without the forgiveness at the end We discuss whether Lex Luthor is a credible villain—or just a walking punchline with a killer property portfolio. Liam marvels at the charm, the score, and the genuine sense of wonder—while struggling not to get emotional about Pa Kent. We ask: does the “reverse time” ending still fly? Or is that where the cape starts to fray? And of course: whether Superman (1978) is the Best Film Ever. Become a Patron of this podcast and support the BFE at https://www.patreon.com/BFE.
