Podcasts about Supes

“I'm not messing around. I'm doing important stuff.” We watched “Superman” (2025) with our friend and resident Supes expert, Billy Roach, and we welcome our newest Kryptonian overlord. In a growing list of Supermen, David Corenswet has proven himself to be quite possibly the dorkiest entry, and gosh darn it, it's so endearing! We're not going to waste too much time answering the trolls' review bombing this movie - instead, we're going to celebrate what we liked about it. Not the least of which is the chemistry between the leads - Corenswet's Superman and, yes, Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor. Okay, Rachel Brosnahan is doing some fine work as well, but we're really digging Nicky and Corny's performances as these iconic characters. It's gotta be tough to bring anything new to Superman and Lex Luthor after so many iterations, but these two brought it - and let's be honest, they're not too tough to look at either. Nicky's baby blues are worth the price of admission! We don't forget about this press tour, in which our two boys are publicizing their aforementioned chemistry and landing the crucial disposable income of the gay male moviegoing audience.  Thank you for listening, and don't forget to subscribe, rate, and review us on Apple Podcasts! www.patreon.com/moviesthatmadeusgay Facebook/Instagram: @moviesthatmadeusgay Bluesky: @MTMUGPod.bsky.social Scott Youngbauer: Twitter @oscarscott / Instagram @scottyoungballer Peter Lozano: Twitter/Instagram @peterlasagna

Cautiously excited to see Superman (2025), we decided to check out part of the extended Supes cinematic universe with a film built around his cousin, Kara Zor-El, a.k.a. Supergirl. Not the worst superhero movie we've seen, but maybe one of the creepiest, what with all the adults making out with high school girls. Starring Faye Dunaway, Helen Slater, Peter O'Toole, Brenda Vaccaro and Peter Cook. Written by David Odell. Directed by Jeannot Szwarc.

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.

Real Life This week, Steven finally found a superhero movie that didn't make him want to throw his popcorn at the screen. Superman (2025) has arrived, and according to him, it's the best take we've had on the character in years. No origin story nonsense, just straight into Supes doing good and being good. James Gunn gets it—Superman is an immigrant, a boy scout, and a damn firefighter (not a cop). The moral core is there, the cape looks good, and apparently, if you hate it, it's because it's “woke”? Whatever. Steven liked it. You probably will too. Meanwhile, Devon has been dodging storms, not floods. He lives far from the Texas chaos but has had his fair share of wet weekends. That hasn't stopped him from grinding away at backyard renovations. Fake grass is coming soon. In the process, he's tearing out ivy and ground brush—bad news for copperhead snakes, which are venomous, and good news for anyone walking around barefoot. Speaking of venom: Ben brings us the delightful fact that some birds are venomous. No, really. There are birds that store toxins from insects and plants and use them to defend themselves. The pitohui says hi. Nature is weird. More bird venom facts here. Devon also dove into evolution this week, thanks to a Hank Green video about the great leap from water to land. Turns out the hardest problem evolution ever solved might just be how to turn gilled swimmers into four-limbed land mammals. Spoiler alert: it involves lungs, fins, and a lot of time. Watch the video here. Ben, when not thinking about venomous birds, asked an important question: What do people do for fun in Palmdale? The answer, apparently, is “hang out near electrical poles.” He also recommends the board game The Red Dragon Inn for those nights when you're too tired to fight dragons and just want to drink with them instead. Game info here. Future or Now Only Steven showed up for this segment, and he brought ancient lion maulings. A new article from ScienceDaily describes a skeleton found in a Roman cemetery in York—with bite marks matching a lion's jaw. It's our first archaeological evidence of gladiator-style combat between a human and a lion, which is equal parts horrifying and fascinating. Steven points out that if curses were real, this would be prime material—digging up gladiator graves seems like an express ticket to ghost lion attacks. Book Club This week, we read The Last Question by Isaac Asimov, a story about entropy, immortality, the heat death of the universe, and one computer's ongoing existential crisis. Devon raises a solid point: the story's final punch line hits different if you grew up with the Judeo-Christian idea of divine creation. If not? It still works, but maybe not quite the same way. You could easily sub in other creation myths—or just throw in some Terminators and call it a sci-fi remix. Ben had Siri read him the story aloud via Mobile Safari and recommends the experience. Read it here or watch this animated version. Next week: There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury, a classic tale of loneliness, technology, and automatic breakfast machines still flipping eggs long after humanity is gone. You can read the story here or listen to a reading. Oh, and if you missed it, Captain Kirk is coming back—sort of. He's being resurrected for Star Trek: The Last Starship, a new comic set in the far future. We have thoughts. Mostly confused ones.

The guys are joined by resident Batman expert Mohsen to criticize James Gunn's attempt at a Superman reboot, then quick-rank their favorite actors who have played the famed character, and finally test their knowledge of Supes' on the big screen.

 the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors has voted three to two to allow cannabis farms to expand mature canopy from 10,000 square feet to 20,000 square feet in appropriately zoned areas.

Mendocino County Supervisors voted 4 to 1 on Tuesday to include an additional one million dollars on road repairs in a proposed budget for the coming fiscal year.  Supervisors Ted Williams and Madeline Cline brought the motion forward to shine a spotlight on the continuing and deplorable condition of county roads.  "Taxpayers expect us to give roads focus, and by focus, I mean funding," Supervisor Williams said.

Show notes provided by Joe PelusoOnce upon a time you had to go to the movies to see the trailers forupcoming films. Now all you gotta do is grab your favorite hand-helddevice and ask Google or Siri to call it up for you. And of course,there are those numerous reaction videos (Some longer than the filmsthey're reacting to.) With all that said, if you really want the scoopon Marvel/Disney's new Daredevil offering or James Gunn's new Superman film, all you have to do is join James and Joe (Your Mint Men ofMessaging) to deliver the low-down on what's hurtling your way fromthe vast genre-verse.    In this current "back of the store chat", the boys run the gamutfrom" Supes" to "nuts" (Diamond Comic Distributors) as they review,report, and reconcile some the important issues of the day that aremaking the rounds in the pop culture universe.    Will Spider-Man pop up in Daredevil Born Again? Will James Gunnstraighten out Kal-El's stigmatism in post-production? How will thefall of Diamond Comic Distributors affect your local LCS? Have youheard of Dogman, and why is it eating Marvel and DC's lunch? And hasJoe traded in his maniacal obsession for the inept Nets of the NBA fora lunatic lashing of the NFL? He might be off his meds again.    You can't swing an Omnibus (and if you can, more power to you)without hitting a plethora of topics covered in this episode. As we'vestated once or twice before, bring a score when you come through theback door for this segment. If for no other reason, you might want toshow it to an NFL ref or umpire that you're watching them. Let it goJoe. MLB Spring Training has started!

One of the first actions taken by the new board of supervisors last month was to agree on rules and procedures that included calling for supervisors to ask questions about the agenda prior to the meeting and limiting public comment to ten minutes. On Tuesday, one resident raised concerns about Brown Act compliance in relation to the first change and the board rolled by the ten-minute rule in response to public input; In Willits a homeowner without insurance is coping with the aftermath of devastating house fire.

The Mendocino County Board of Supervisors meets today, starting at 9:00 a.m. We spoke with board chairman, Supervisor John Haschak about two issues that are very likely to generate substantial public comment. The first, has to do with, well public comment, and how much the Board should allow and at what point in the meeting. The second topic has to do with the cannabis ordinance and whether it covers grows of 10,000 square feet or twice that size.

We Watched So Much Stuff This Week This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl review… Gladiator II, Transformers One, the penultimate Supes & Lolo, and the first two episodes of Dune: Prophecy. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Gladiator 2: 4:28 Transformers: One: 17:54 Supes & Lolo: 30:35 Dunc: Prophecy: 44:25 Gladiator 2 (2024) Out of 10 Lucius Was Not A Treat Clarks Darryl: 6/10 Brian: 8.2/10 Summary “Gladiator II,” directed by Ridley Scott, is a 2024 epic historical action film that serves as a sequel to the 2000 classic “Gladiator.” The story is set 16 years after the original, focusing on Lucius Verus Aurelius (Paul Mescal), the son of Maximus Decimus Meridius and Lucilla. Living under the alias “Hanno” in Numidia, Lucius's life is shattered when General Acacius (Pedro Pascal) leads a Roman invasion that results in the death of his wife and his enslavement. Forced into the gladiatorial arena, Lucius seeks vengeance against Acacius and the corrupt twin emperors, Geta and Caracalla. He gains the mentorship of Macrinus (Denzel Washington), a former slave and ambitious arms dealer with his own designs on power. As Lucius rises through the ranks of gladiators, he discovers his true heritage and confronts the political machinations of Rome, mirroring the journey of his father, Maximus. The film features intense combat sequences, including battles against exotic animals like rhinos and sharks, and delves into themes of revenge, identity, and the quest for justice. While it expands on the original's narrative, some critics note that it lacks the emotional depth of its predecessor. Nonetheless, “Gladiator II” offers a visually spectacular experience with strong performances, particularly from Washington, who brings a compelling presence to the role of Macrinus. “Gladiator II” was released in theaters on November 22, 2024, and has received generally positive reviews from critics. Transformers One (2024) Out of 10 I’d Want to Kill Orion Pax Toos Darryl: 6.25/10 Brian: 6.4/10 Summary “Transformers One” is a 2024 American animated science fiction action film that explores the origins of the iconic characters Optimus Prime and Megatron. Directed by Josh Cooley, the film features a star-studded voice cast, including Chris Hemsworth as Orion Pax (who becomes Optimus Prime) and Brian Tyree Henry as D-16 (who becomes Megatron). Set on the planet Cybertron, the narrative delves into the early relationship between Orion Pax and D-16, who start as close friends bonded like brothers. As the story unfolds, their differing ideologies lead to a rift, setting the stage for the epic conflict between Autobots and Decepticons. The film also introduces other key characters, such as Elita-1 (voiced by Scarlett Johansson) and B-127 (voiced by Keegan-Michael Key), providing a rich backstory to the Transformers universe. “Transformers One” premiered in Sydney, Australia, on September 11, 2024, and was released in the United States on September 20, 2024. The film received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised its storytelling, animation, and voice performances. However, it underperformed at the box office, grossing approximately $128.9 million worldwide against a budget estimated between $75 million and $147 million. For those interested in watching the film, “Transformers One” is available for streaming on Paramount+. Superman and Lois (The CW) Out of 5 Never Trust a Human Hearts Darryl: 4.45/5 Brian: 4.35/5 Summary In the penultimate episode of “Superman & Lois,” titled “To Live and Die Again,” the series sets the stage for a climactic finale. The episode features the return of Doomsday, now portrayed in a highly comic-accurate form, intensifying the threat to Superman and his family. The narrative delves into the aftermath of Superman's public revelation of his dual identity as Clark Kent, exploring the personal and societal ramifications of this disclosure. Additionally, Lois Lane receives a positive update regarding her battle with breast cancer, marking a significant moment in her character arc. The episode culminates in an emotional cliffhanger, setting up a high-stakes confrontation in the series finale. This installment effectively balances action and character development, paving the way for a compelling conclusion to the series. Dune: Prophecy (HBO Max) Out of 10 Burn in My Lights Darryl: 7.75/10 Brian: 7.1/10 Summary “Dune: Prophecy” is a prequel series set 10,000 years before the events of Frank Herbert's “Dune,” focusing on the origins of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood. Here's a summary of the first two episodes: Episode 1: “The Hidden Hand” The series opens with Mother Superior Raquella Berto-Anirul (Cathy Tyson) leading the fledgling Sisterhood on Wallach IX. She entrusts Valya Harkonnen (Emily Watson) with the mission to expand and fortify the Sisterhood's influence. Valya, driven by her family's tarnished legacy, employs the Sisterhood's secretive breeding program and mental conditioning to manipulate political dynamics across the Imperium. A significant plot involves the arranged marriage between Princess Ynez Corrino (Sarah-Sofie Boussnina) and young noble Pruwet Richese (Charlie Hodson-Prior), orchestrated to stabilize the Imperial bloodline. However, the emergence of Desmond Hart (Travis Fimmel), a mysterious soldier with newfound powers from Arrakis, disrupts these plans. Desmond's actions culminate in the simultaneous deaths of Pruwet and Imperial Truthsayer Kasha Jinjo (Jihae), signaling a formidable threat to the Sisterhood's schemes. Episode 2: “Two Wolves” In the aftermath of the dual assassinations, Valya seeks to counter Desmond's menace. She travels to Salusa Secundus to interrogate Desmond, who openly admits to the killings, revealing his immunity to the Sisterhood's manipulative techniques like “The Voice.” Meanwhile, on Wallach IX, young acolyte Lila undergoes “The Agony,” a perilous ritual intended to unlock ancestral memories. During this process, Lila encounters the spirit of Raquella, who imparts cryptic warnings about impending dangers. The episode delves into the internal dynamics of the Sisterhood, highlighting the challenges Valya faces in consolidating power amid external threats and internal dissent. These episodes lay the groundwork for a complex narrative of political intrigue, mystical traditions, and the struggle for dominance within the Imperium.

Who would have expected the Penguin to be so darn good? This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl are talking about the penultimate episode of The Penguin season 1, and Supes & Lolo season 4 episode 6. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 The Penguin: 6:40 Supes & Lolo: 31:50 The Penguin (Max) Out of 5 Drowned Brothers in the Sewers Darryl: 4.55/5 Brian: 4.92/5 Episode 7: Top Hat Summary: Oswald Cobb finds himself at a critical juncture as tensions in Gotham intensify. Faced with a complex web of alliances and betrayals, Cobb must navigate a power struggle that threatens both his position and his safety. The episode delves into Cobb's resourcefulness and determination, showcasing how he maneuvers through challenges that reveal hidden agendas and unexpected alliances. As he dons the symbolic “top hat,” his transformation as a formidable player in Gotham's underworld takes a dramatic turn, setting the stage for a high-stakes confrontation that could reshape the city's future. Top Hat,is a deeply thematic exploration of power, identity, and the complexities of loyalty within Gotham's ruthless criminal underworld. Here's a spoiler-free thematic breakdown: 1. Power and Authority Top Hat heavily emphasizes the struggle for control, with Oswald Cobb caught between ambitious forces vying for dominance. The titular top hat symbolizes not only his evolving role in Gotham's criminal landscape but also the weight of responsibility and danger that accompanies newfound authority. Cobb is forced to reassess who he can trust, all while asserting his own influence in a way that distinguishes him from other crime figures. 2. Identity and Transformation This episode further examines Cobb's gradual transformation as he embraces the traits needed to survive and thrive in Gotham's underworld. The top hat represents a new identity, marking a step deeper into the city's dark side and an acceptance of the moral ambiguities his journey demands. The thematic journey reflects a shift from the man Oswald once was to the symbol of power he is becoming. 3. Loyalty and Betrayal Top Hat introduces complex layers of loyalty and betrayal as Cobb's alliances become increasingly fragile. Characters around him reveal hidden motivations, forcing him to question loyalties even among those closest to him. This theme adds suspense and tension, highlighting the precarious nature of trust in a world where self-interest often overrides allegiance. 4. Survival and Sacrifice In order to maintain his foothold, Cobb faces choices that require personal sacrifice and resourcefulness. The theme of survival is evident in how he adapts to new threats, using every asset he has—both physical and psychological—to stay one step ahead of his adversaries. 5. The Price of Ambition Ambition is a central theme, and Top Hat reflects on how the pursuit of power exacts a toll, not just on those striving for it, but on the entire city. As Cobb's influence grows, the ripple effect on Gotham becomes increasingly visible, illustrating how one man's rise can bring both fear and inspiration to a city steeped in corruption. In Top Hat, the themes blend to depict a Gotham where every decision, alliance, and ambition has a cost, and where the lines between friend and foe grow dangerously thin. The episode is a masterful blend of tension and character development, underscoring how each step in Cobb's journey is one of both opportunity and peril. Superman & Lois (The CW) Out of 5 Red Light Beatdowns Darryl: 4.25/5 Brian: 4.25/5 Episode 6: When the Lights Come On Summary: “When the Lights Come On,” is a pivotal installment in the series. The episode sees Lex Luthor dealing with the aftermath of his daughter's departure, which has left him reeling. In response, he further escalates his plan to torment Lois Lane. Jonathan's Burden Meanwhile, Jonathan Kent, Superman's son, has taken on a superhero workload that's become too intense for his own well-being. Clark and Lois intervene, urging him to slow down and prioritize his health. Jonathan admits to missing meals and neglecting his personal life in his zeal to help others. Key Developments Lex Luthor's Warsuit: The episode sets the stage for Lex's Warsuit, a crucial plot point in the season's narrative.

Everyone Was Learning All Sorts of Things This Week This week on the podcast, Brian and Darryl discuss Season 4 of Supes and Lolo Episodes 1-4, The Penguin Episode 5, and The 2024 Cincinnati Comic Expo. Episode Index Intro: 0:07 Cincinnati Comic Expo: 3:37 The Penguin: 19:27 Supes and Lolo: 36.19 2024 Cincinnati Comic Expo CIncinnati Comic Expo The Penguin (Max) Out of 5 Whoa Whoa I’m on Fires Darryl: 4.25/5 Brian: 4.48/5 Episode 5: Homecoming “Homecoming,” the narrative delves deeper into Oswald Cobb's journey as he grapples with his growing criminal empire and the impact of his past. The episode balances between exploring Oz's personal history and his present-day efforts to solidify his control over Gotham's underworld. Here's a detailed breakdown of the episode and its themes. Breakdown: Opening Scene – A Return to the Past: The episode opens with Oz visiting his childhood home, which has been left in ruins. The dilapidated state of the place mirrors his internal struggles, and the flashbacks to his early life provide more context on his difficult upbringing. The symbolism of “homecoming” is clear from the start: it's not just a physical return to a place, but also an emotional return to the memories that shaped him. Challenges to Oz's Rule: Back in the present, Oz's power is being tested by rival gangs and old enemies who seek to undermine his growing influence. There's a sense of fragility around his position, as his rivals start encroaching on his territory. Oz must figure out how to fend off these threats while staying ahead of his competitors. The tension here adds to the ongoing power struggle that has defined much of the series. New Alliances and Betrayals: One of the key developments in the episode is the formation of new alliances. Oz meets with a powerful crime boss, and they discuss a potential partnership that could solidify his control over Gotham's criminal underworld. However, the deal is fraught with tension, as it becomes clear that trust is not easily earned. The episode carefully builds up this alliance, leaving viewers to question whether this partnership will last or lead to future betrayal. Personal Sacrifice: A subplot in the episode involves Oz dealing with a personal sacrifice. He is forced to make a difficult decision regarding someone close to him, and this moment highlights how much he has changed since the series began. The emotional weight of this decision hangs over the rest of the episode, and we see how Oz is increasingly willing to sacrifice his humanity for power. Climactic Confrontation: The episode reaches a boiling point when Oz is forced to confront one of his most dangerous rivals. There is a tense showdown, both physically and psychologically, that reveals just how far Oz is willing to go to protect his empire. The confrontation is violent and intense, showcasing the brutal world of Gotham and the harsh consequences of climbing to the top. Ending – A Hollow Victory: The episode ends with Oz achieving a significant victory, but it feels hollow. He returns to his childhood home once more, alone, reflecting on the cost of his ascent. The closing moments are poignant, showing that while Oz is gaining power, he is also losing parts of himself. The homecoming he envisioned doesn't bring him peace, only a reminder of what he's lost. Themes: Power and Isolation: A major theme of “Homecoming” is the isolation that comes with power. As Oz rises in Gotham's criminal hierarchy, he finds himself increasingly alone. The episode contrasts his present success with the loneliness he feels, symbolized by his return to his empty childhood home. This theme underscores how power often leads to isolation, and how the quest for control can leave individuals detached from their past and the people around them. Nostalgia and Regret: The episode's title and Oz's return to his childhood home bring up the theme of nostalgia. Oz's homecoming is marked by a sense of regret as he reflects on what he's sacrificed to get where he is. The flashbacks provide insight into his formative years, showing how his difficult childhood continues to haunt him. The theme of regret is further emphasized by the personal sacrifice he makes in the episode, forcing him to confront the emotional cost of his ambition. The Price of Ambition: “Homecoming” highlights the theme of ambition and the high price Oz must pay for it. Throughout the episode, he is forced to make increasingly difficult decisions, sacrificing personal relationships and his own moral compass to stay in control. The idea that ambition requires sacrifice is central to the episode, and we see how Oz's relentless drive for power comes at a steep emotional and personal cost. Trust and Betrayal: Trust, or the lack thereof, is another key theme in this episode. The potential alliance Oz forms is built on shaky ground, and the episode explores how trust is a rare commodity in Gotham's criminal underworld. The constant threat of betrayal looms over every interaction, and the episode plays with the idea that no one in this world can be fully trusted, not even close allies. Home and Identity: The theme of home is explored in a multifaceted way in “Homecoming.” Oz's return to his childhood home is a metaphor for his struggle with identity. He is no longer the same person he was when he lived there, and his visit forces him to confront how much he's changed. The home represents a place of safety and identity, but for Oz, it's a reminder of the innocence he's lost and the person he can never be again. Final Thoughts: “Homecoming,” serves as a deeply personal exploration of Oswald Cobb's character while maintaining the intense power struggles and high-stakes drama of Gotham's criminal world. The themes of isolation, nostalgia, and the price of ambition are central to the episode, as Oz grapples with the sacrifices he's made in his quest for power. The episode's blend of personal reflection and violent confrontations makes it a pivotal chapter in The Penguin's rise to power, highlighting the emotional and psychological toll his journey is taking on him.
