This week, we're paying tribute to the late, great Gene Hackman the only way we know how — by diving headfirst into Superman (1978), a movie that somehow manages to be majestic, weird as hell, and pure magic all at once. From the second those flying blue credits hit the screen, we were five years old again (but with stronger opinions and more alcohol). We talk Brando's space-lawyering, Gene's glorious villain energy, and how Christopher Reeve is so handsome it physically hurts.   Nick, Anthony, and Elise get into the good, the goofy, and the gloriously impractical — including Superman's extremely casual approach to time travel, the questionable ethics of letting Pa Kent die, and the sheer number of times this movie just shouts “SCIENCE!” and hopes for the best. We also pour one out for literally everyone else in this movie who has passed on (RIP to half the cast), while somehow ending up in a very detailed discussion of trains, tights, and what counts as a sneaky kiss.   It's messy, it's reverent, it's unhinged in all the right ways — just how we like it. Whether you've seen Superman a hundred times or haven't watched it since VHS, we promise this episode will make you laugh, maybe tear up a little, and definitely wonder why Superman's spaceship didn't have a bathroom.   So grab a drink, fire up that John Williams score, and join us as we fly awkwardly backward through time, straight into the heart of a classic. We're doing it for Gene — and also for the bit. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078346/

Host Anthony Desiato digs into Silver Age Superboy in both comics and animation, examining three key facets of the Boy of Steel's adventures in the late 1950s and 1960s. First, Anthony welcomes back Dan Greenfield (13th Dimension) to discuss the rare FILMATION SUPERBOY cartoons that aired on CBS from 1966-1969, which saw Superboy and Krypto contend with alien invaders, creatures running amok, and more. Then, in the episode's main segment, Rich Roney returns as he and Anthony break down a dozen key Silver Age comic book stories, including the first appearances of the Legion of Super-Heroes, Bizarro, the Phantom Zone, and Mon-El; early meetings with Robin, Supergirl, and Lex Luthor; and key tales like Superboy's public debut, Pete Ross learning Clark's secret, and the deaths of Ma & Pa Kent.Finally, Anthony introduces first-time guest Bryan Dempsey to discuss a selection of Silver Age comic book stories featuring Krypto and the Super-Pets, including "The Dog of Steel" (ADVENTURE COMICS #214), "The Super-Monkey from Krypton" (SUPERBOY #76), and "The Legion of Super-Traitors" (ADVENTURE COMICS #293).Support BATTLE CHRONICLE SOL-STRYKER from friend of the show V Ken Marion right here!Support the show and receive exclusive podcast content at Patreon.com/AnthonyDesiato, including the spinoff podcasts BEYOND METROPOLIS and DIGGING FOR JUSTICE!Visit BCW Supplies and use promo code FSP to save 10% on your next order of comics supplies.

EPISODE 12: Injustice - “What are you gonna do, a podcast or something?”Greetings Super friends! Welcome to Superman & Lois & Pals. I'm Henry Bernstein and alongside me is my favorite super pal, Professor Sam Brody. Tons of Superman news, specifically Superman and Lois. The good news is Superman and Lois was renewed for Season 4. The bad news was that it was at a great cost. Kind of like the end of a superhero movie. Only 10 episodes and The Cushings, Irons' and Sam Lane were all cut from the regular cast. Sam, what are your thoughts?In larger Superman news, The Flash movie finally came out. I know a lot of things have been spoiled and I'm not in the business of spoiling things, but I will say there are a lot of Superman treats and easter eggs in it. Is it a good movie? I don't think so. But I did enjoy myself. The Batman stuff is really fun. It is a fun theater experience, but since it's doing so poorly it'll probably be out on Max soon. Let's talk about Superman & Lois Season 3, Episode 12S03E12 - InjusticeDirected by:Sudz SutherlandWritten By:Michael NarducciThe IMDB & Apple TV Recap is: Lois and Clark clash with Jordan over his carelessness around using his powers in public. And finally, after seventeen years behind bars, Lex Luthor is set to be released from prison.HENRY's NOTES: There's Clark taking away the computer again. Love that he's washing her hair. So sweet. Injustice is a reference to her losing a part of her bodyI love that they're teeing up Luthor ready to kill Lois and Clark protecting her. Cool Lex music.The idea of Lex in prison for 20 years is so interesting. Love that he gets a nice soft boiled egg for breakfast. Who's the pic? Does he have a daughter? Who's the mom?Who's Janet? Foswell gave the Luthor story to Simone. Who's Simone?Love Clark mouthing “no no” hahaWhoa Lex with hair in the flashback? OTIS! Drops wedding ring but has pic of kid. LOVE Lois' look with the hat. Looks like the Jenny Frison cover from Lois Lane #1.Haha Bazoombas makes another appearance. Why has Bazoombas become a thing?What did you think about all the Alpha Male vs Alpha Male FD thing?Is Kyle being nice to Jonathan because he knows Clark is Superman?Sam Lane - I guess in a world where Superman is the only hero then it IS a big deal that there's another super in Smallville. Yes, they had Kryptonians attack them but another Hero is different. Not sure why.Why is it Jordan's fault that Sarah's having a rough timeWhat do you think about Luthor shaving his head vs having lost his hair at a young age? To paraphrase a quote from Larry David, those who shave their head to cultivate a look are not part of the bald community. I think a Luthor who has lost his hair all the way at a young age or is losing his hair so shaves it is better than a full thick head of gorgeous hair and shaves it. Why did Luthor let his ass get kicked? Mind games? False sense of security?Did you notice that the prison standard issue had the prisoner names on it? Isn't the whole thing about prison is they dehumanize you by giving you just a number?So Otis is not Luthor's henchman but a rival. Cool twist. I like that the Warden is just blatant about being crooked.So was Superman and Lois' Luthor one that had hair? Interesting….Damn this Lex is cold. I kinda love it. Oooooh Tornado in Smallville! Classic Superman Stuff! My first thought was, “will there be an MOS reference to Pa Kent putting his hand up?”Superman vs a Tornado is always good. One of the better parts of Superman IV which was deleted. Can you freeze a tornado?! Do you think you can talk inside a tornado?Haha, who are these idiots standing in front of a window? They've obviously seen a tornado before! Kyle and Jonathan just standing there watching?!Oy Jordan, not good. Doing the whole “I dunno” teenage thing.What was that little power display with Clark? Was Clark trying to grab Jordan and he used his powers to break away?Sam giving the advice of “reign him in” - clearly doesn't understand how teenagers work. I do like how Sam explained the flight path thing. That makes sense.Dean Jr looks like he's 45.Does Jonathan also have a video game system in his room?Oh my god did Lex Luthor walk from Stryker's Island to Smallville?!Oooooh Luthor is SCARY“What I want is to never have to read your words again”“But I wasn't wrong about what you are”Yeah Clark, stand up to that bully!“Don't ever come back” - “Then you'd better retire”“Tell Superman he's next”Ha! Otis is now his henchmanI know head shaving scenes are cool, but well you know how I feel about this. Better shave that beard. Haha I knew his chair would definitely be a person Who's Dr. Hook, who's Orr?YES LEX AND BIZARRO! The way it should be.Going with the Horror version of Bizarro. Eating rats and mutilating Otis. Nice.

In honor of Sean's newfound status of Father, we discuss some fictional fathers that resonate with us.Darth Vader is not a good father by any metric, but there is still a lot to learn from his story about the importance of fatherhood. After all, if losing his fatherhood status punctuated his fall to the dark side, gaining it back sparked his return to the light.Splinter, whether a reincarnated father to adopted father figure, is the mentor that the turtles need, and he teaches them to understand and respect each other's differences, as any good father should.Pa Kent and Jor El are both fathers to Superman, and both of them make him the hero that he is. Superman's two fathers also show us that families are made from deciding to be a family, even when that decision literally falls out of the sky.Danny Tanner and Homer Simpson round out the conversation. Yes, Full house and the Simpsons. Behind that sitcom character status are characters that demonstrate the attentiveness that fathers should provide to their children, and the perseverance and effort to be there for their children.

 To our American listeners, a belated happy 4th of July! As we celebrate our country's independence, we thought it appropriate to celebrate that all-American hero, who fights for truth, justice, and the American way -Superman! The Planet 8 crew revisits the classic 1978 Superman movie, which promised that we would believe a man could fly. And we did indeed! Actor Christopher Reeve remains iconic as the Man of Steel in this light-hearted film.As always, we'll discuss the cast and crew, how the film came together, and our feelings about the film, from when we first saw it and now. Although Reeve was an unknown when cast as Superman, he was surrounded by an all-star cast, with actors such as Marlon Brando as his Kryptonian father, Jor-El, Gene Hackman as villain Lex Luthor, Ned Betty as Luthor's henchman, Otis, Glenn Ford as Pa Kent, and Jackie Coogan as Daily Planet editor Perry White. The cast absolutely makes the film, with Reeve and his utter sincerity in the role essential to selling it.There's also a wonderful chemistry between Reeve and Margot Kidder as Lois Lane -although we could all live without Lois' "Can you read my mind?" segment! But the two actors are absolutely charming together.The effects in the film are a mixed bag, but the most important effect -Superman's flying -still holds up and gives us a thrill. The way Superman flies in the movie is graceful and majestic -truly beautiful, and Reeve again is the element that clinches it, the way he moves his body and hands as he flies. Of course, the music also gives it a lot of oomph!Speaking of music, who could forget the grand John Williams score? The Superman theme is unforgettable! Williams' soundtrack here is every bit as good as his work on Star Wars or Jaws or anything else from his catalog.There's a reason that this film, even 40 plus years later, continues to show up on favorite super-hero film lists. It's just a fantastic film. As we prepare to release this episode, it has been announced that director Richard Donner has passed. He truly deserves so much credit for the success of Superman. He was greatly loved and respected by his cast and crew. Rest in peace.For this episode's Sensor Sweep, Commander Larry shares the Hasbro Stormbreaker, Thor's hammer/axe. This thing is crazy! It's full size, about 4 feet long, and makes a racket! It also lights up. If you feel the need to be a thunder god, or fear you might have to protect yourself against a mad titan, go online and pick one up.We hope you enjoyed this episode. Be sure to tell us about your first time seeing Superman. How do you feel about the movie today?

EPISODE 42: Superman Strength + Superman Adventures The Last Sons read and discuss the Superman: Strength mini plus the popular Superman Adventures #41, requested by Super listener Patrick D. Ryall! It's a surprise for the Last Sons and one which isn't a bad thing! Hidden gem worthy of more mention - tune in to hear all the discussion! SYNOPSIS: (courtesy of Connor-El & Wiki) PART 1 A criminal named Fido and his gang are speculating on the origin of Superman and plotting how to deal with him. They send a dupe to rob a bank to test how fast Superman reacts, while Fido reveals his Super-criminal father claimed to have broken Supermans arm, and told him Superman was raised by the metropolis elite with a silver spoon in his mouth never having to struggle, hence his strict moral compass. Meanwhile Superman overhears them and warns them not to plot anything, and leaves. Lois picks up Clark and Pa Kent and over dinner Pa starts to tell a story from Clarks childhood about his first time to a city. In the past with Clark present Pa stole some candy from a crooked clerk overcharging people in need and gave some to clark, tellin him some rules can be broken. Later during a solar eclipse Clark sees a city in the distance and runs to it. Meanwhile Fidos gang creates a series of disasters from fires to blowing up a bridge, to hold Superman off while they break into lex corps to steal his old invention, a pair of gloves that can create dimensional portals. Superman eventually catches up with them and FIdo lures him through the portal, severing at the neck and coming into possession of the head of Superman! PART 2 Jonathan Kent recalls an incident when Clark was ten-years-old and a solar eclipse caused his innate Kryptonian powers to briefly manifest before they should have. Clark ran from Smallville to Chicago in under an hour and found himself embroiled in a brewing conflict between two rival members which resulted in both of their detahs. In the present, Superman is suffering from a laboratory experiment malfunction in which his head has been displaced through a dimensional portal. A former scientist named John "Fido" Pollock has the head and plans on using it as leverage in order to gain favor with Lex Luthor. This is complicated by a series of disasters happening nearby, Superman pleads with Fido to release him to save them, promising he will come back. Fido complies and lets Superman go, superman rescues everyone he can but a child dies in the process. After Supermans return, Fido and his cronies bring Superman's head to Luthor's office and offers him a demonstration of his Trans-Locational Portal gloves. Luthor is unimpressed until Pollock also reveals that he has another invention that can alter the size ratio of volumes of matter and threatens to use this technology to destroy Metropolis. A fire fight breaks out between Fido's thugs and Luthors' security team. A pile of debris falls through the spatial portal and giant-sized coins, paperclips and batteries begin raining down on Metropolis. Luthor frees Superman so that he can save the city. PART 3 Thanks to the efforts of criminal inventor John "Fido" Pollock, a wave of giant-sized pocket debris begins raining down on Metropolis. Superman flies out and deflects giant coins, fountain pens and paperclips from smashing through the city. At Lexcorp Tower, Fido and his crew use their trans-locational gloves to escape before Luthor's security team can gun them down. They stop at another LexCorp facility to hijack a NASA hovercraft. Lois Lane is present and tries to sneak on board, but Fido captures her and uses her tech to shrink her down in size. Superman arrives at the facility and his father, Jonathan Kent, tells him that the bandits have kidnapped Lois. Superman then takes off and flies after them. He traces the crew to Cairo, Egypt. Fido comes up with another idea. Using the Trans-Locational Portal, he locates the imprisoned Metallo and steals a small piece of Kryptonite from his chest cavity. He intends on using to subdue Superman. When they realize that Superman is in range, they scramble into the hovercraft leaving behind one of their own, Hopper. They open a dimensional portal to Chicago, but Superman is fast enough to follow them into the portal. They zigzag through the city, but eventually the Jet-Car runs out of fuel. By this point, Fido's cronies realize that there is no escape and they abandon him. While Superman rounds up henchpeople Trudy and Sulley, Fido hijacks a pick-up truck. Superman bears down on him, but Fido temporarily blinds him with one of the hi-tech weapons they stole from LexCorp. Superman shakes off the effects, but Fido has one more ace up his sleeve. He enlarges the Kryptonite pebble he stole from Metallo and uses it to pin Superman to the ground. While Fido is boasting about his supposed conquest, Lois escapes from the vial she was trapped in and uses Fido's Scaling Gloves to return to normal size. She then uses the same gloves to reduce the Kryptonite block back to pebble size. Through the course of this, Superman learns that Fido has always lived in the shadow of his abusive father, Frank "Pit Bull" Pollock – a man who once claimed to have broken Superman's arm in combat. Superman slightly recalls the event, and tells Fido that his father never bested him, and certainly never broke his arm. Fido knows that Superman would never lie, and the sudden revelation drives him into a fury. He unloads on Superman with every weapon at his disposal, but they do no good. Once his arsenal is spent, Fido collapses to the ground and Superman takes him into custody.

Discarding almost a century of traditional portrayal, some Hollywood execs get the brilliant idea to ditch the hope and turn Superman into a grim, mopey meat sack. At least Henry Cavill's muscles fit the part... Man of Steel is directed by Zack Snyder, wrtitten by David S. Goyer, and stars Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, Michael Shannon, and Kevin Costner as Pa Kent, the subtly sociopathic father figure who gives Clark a guilt complex over saving people.

Adventure Comics #293 The Legion of Super-Traitors! March 1962 w: Jerry Siegel a: Curt Swan After a day of work at Pa Kent's store, Clark is called into action as Superboy, however when attempting to save an air craft from crashing, Superboy suddenly leaves it to crash, forcing Krypto to come to the rescue. Afterward, Superboy suddenly snaps again and is about to throw Krypto into space along the path of a Kryptonite meteor, however he snaps out of it again. Before Superboy can learn the source of his uncharacteristic behavior, he receives a call from the Legion of Super-Heroes. Going to the designated meeting place, Superboy meets with Cosmic Boy, Saturn Girl, and Lightning Lad who have come to Earth to get Superboy's aid updating their records of which Kryptonian criminals had been banished to the Phantom Zone before Krypton's destruction. As Superboy is showing the Legion, Mon-El suddenly appears and warns Superboy that the Legion plans on betraying him and freeing the Phantom Zone criminals. The Legion members then suddenly blast Superboy with special Kryptonite rings that incapacitate the boy of Steel. It's revealed that the Legion are under the control of the Brain Globes of Rambat, who seek to conquer the Earth, but saw Superboy as their only obstacle. With Superboy defeated, and not considering the Legion members as a threat, the Brain Globes free the Legion and prepare for their conquest. Realizing that the globes had no effect on Krypto prompt the Legion to travel through time and collect Comet the Super-horse, Streaky the Super-cat, and Beppo the Super-monkey to form the Legion of Super-Pets. With the aid of the Super-Pets, the Legion of Super-Heroes are able to defeat the Brain Globes and force them to abandon their goals of conquest. With the globes defeated, the Super-Pets return to their respective eras and Saturn Girl revives Superboy and informs him that she cannot tell him how they defeated the Brain Globes. She then sends Superboy to destroy the device the Brain Globes intended to use to move the Earth. Afterward, Superboy returns home to inform his family what came over him that day and his plan to clear things up with the authorities as well. - via DC Wikia Action Comics #287 Supergirl's Greatest Challenge April 1962 w: Jerry Siegel a: Jim Mooney After spending time at her friend Margie's house where her Superman fan-club has Lois Lane over as a guest visitor, Supergirl (as Linda Lee Danvers) returns home. There she is told by Fred Danvers that the sheriff is about to blow up the tree stump which hides the secret exit to their home which Supergirl uses to leave unseen. Supergirl rushes off to prevent the entrance from being seen. Returning home once more she gets a signal from the Legion of Super-Heroes to visit them in the 30th Century. At first she wonders why the Legion called her because they all appear to be busy doing other things, however she strangely finds them at the Legion's headquarters. The Legion quickly have her board their ship to go out into space to stop the Positive Man. Supergirl succeeds in doing so by attracting a negative creature from space to cause the two to explode. Returning to Earth, the Legion members find that their super-powers no longer work, and in order to avoid a crime spree, Supergirl with the help of Whizzy (the future descendant of her super-cat Streaky) help make it appear as though the Legion still has their super-powers by helping them out behind the scenes. However, this is all a trick, and the "Legion" members are really members of the Chameleon men, alien shape changers who are posing as the Legion. With Supergirl's guard down, they use a Phantom Zone projector to shunt both Supergirl and Whizzy into the Phantom Zone. Using Whizzy's telepathic abilities, they gain the aid of the owner of an android factory they had saved earlier to send in an android resembling the Chameleon Men to enter the Legion base and free Supergirl and Whizzy. Supergirl then quickly defeats the Chameleon Men, trapping them in a transparent dome, and freeing the other Legion members. After she says goodbye to the Legion and Whizzy and returns to her own time and relates to the story to Streaky. - via DC Wikia

Investigating it as Superboy, the Boy of Steel is shocked to find an occupant inside that has a star chart and a medallion around his neck from Jor-El, his own father, about his apparent son. Believing that this person is a previously unknown and long lost brother, Superboy is disappointed to find that the occupant has amnesia. Taking him in with the Kents, they decide to name him Mon-El, based partially on the day of the week he landed on Earth (Monday) and on Kryptonian names. Pa Kent also sets Mon-El up with a civilian guise of Bob Cobb so that Mon-El can assume a civilian life in Smallville, as a brush salesman. However, Superboy beings to get suspicious of Mon-El's true nature, and begins to doubt his origins when he realizes the buckle on Mon-El's belt is not made of any Kryptonian metal, and Krypto doesn't recognize Mon-El. As a final test, Superboy tries to expose Mon-El to Kryptonite as the boy sleeps and is shocked that it has no effect. The next day, after Mon-El tries to show up Clark for Lana Lang's affections, Superboy decides to trick Mon-El into "revealing" himself by orchestrating a Kryptonite meteor hoax while they're playing. To do so, Superboy paints lead meteors to resemble Kryptonite and throws them into space so that they land on Earth at the right time. Superboy is shocked to find that Mon-El is effected by the lead meteors just as Superboy would have been effected by real Kryptonite. This causes Mon-El's memories to return, and he reveals that his real name is Lar Grand, who was from the planet Daxam, and landed on Krypton just before it's destruction and befriended Jor-El before departing the planet, and that the crash really did cause him to have amnesia. As lead being the Daxarian's weakness, Mon-El is about to die, however Superboy comes up with a solution to save Mon-El's life, by sending him to the Phantom Zone until he can find a cure for Mon-El's lead poisoning. - via DC Wikia

“I’ve chosen to be the good guy.” “Infernal Affairs” may have won seven out of the sixteen Hong Kong Film Awards it was nominated for in 2002, including beating Zhang Yimou’s “Hero” as Best Film, but the majority of Americans probably didn’t hear of it until it was remade by Martin Scorsese four years later as “The Departed.” And while that’s a shame that it took so many people so long to discover this 2002 Hong Kong gem by directors Andrew Lau and Alan Mak, it’s great that they did discover it. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our Movies & Their Remakes series with Lau’s and Mak’s crime thriller “Infernal Affairs.” We talk about the title, why it’s silly to overexplain the English title, what the original Chinese title “The Unceasing Path” means and things you can read about the film from it. We discuss the actors, primarily Tony Leung and Andy Lau (not related to the director), and how so many of the actors here are performers in other capacities. (Cantopop, anyone?) We chat about the almost pathetic role the women play in this version of the story. And we hit on the taut storytelling style exhibited here which lets us really focus on the struggle the two main characters go through. It’s a wonderful film and definitely worth watching regardless of whether you’ve seen “The Departed” or not. So give it a shot then tune in!

“I've chosen to be the good guy.” “Infernal Affairs” may have won seven out of the sixteen Hong Kong Film Awards it was nominated for in 2002, including beating Zhang Yimou's “Hero” as Best Film, but the majority of Americans probably didn't hear of it until it was remade by Martin Scorsese four years later as “The Departed.” And while that's a shame that it took so many people so long to discover this 2002 Hong Kong gem by directors Andrew Lau and Alan Mak, it's great that they did discover it. Join us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – as we continue our Movies & Their Remakes series with Lau's and Mak's crime thriller “Infernal Affairs.” We talk about the title, why it's silly to overexplain the English title, what the original Chinese title “The Unceasing Path” means and things you can read about the film from it. We discuss the actors, primarily Tony Leung and Andy Lau (not related to the director), and how so many of the actors here are performers in other capacities. (Cantopop, anyone?) We chat about the almost pathetic role the women play in this version of the story. And we hit on the taut storytelling style exhibited here which lets us really focus on the struggle the two main characters go through. It's a wonderful film and definitely worth watching regardless of whether you've seen “The Departed” or not. So give it a shot then tune in!

In which our heroes help our dad around the farm and try to minimise their parents crippling debt by taking on a job while wondering why that Kent kid doesn’t help out his folks but instead sits around all day, mopes about girl problems and eats pop-tarts. We look at Clark’s diamond making potential, his possible career as a delivery man for literally everywhere and if Batman has ever lent him the Bat credit card. Jackson wants to know if the JLA is a cushy government job, James thinks every live action version of Superman is wrong, Zammit proclaims that Pa Kent is the problem and Duscher just wants you to listen to his side-podcast; Sad People I Know. So find an abandoned baby in the woods, consider raising it as your own and join us for one of the most convoluted comparison we’ve ever come up with. By the end of the episode you too will be wondering if the Fires Out? Want to help the Kents because Superman won’t?

A very special episode. Adam was pretty sick. A bad movie first and a bad Superman movie second. Who is to blame? This movie made Pete dumber and he is shockingly angry about it. Pa Kent. This can only end one way. Vaudeville interlude. Nolan/Goyer Batman vs. Superman. Adam kinda loses it at Pete and then apologizes in the show notes. Sorry, Pete. Superman’s not a great Christ analog.
