About the episode

It’s a bird … it’s a plane … it’s the Superman episode! Sean and Amanda dive deep into James Gunn’s highly anticipated Superman, starring David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan (3:11). They discuss why they were pleasantly surprised and why they think the film works, explain why Corenswet was an excellent casting decision for a modernized version of the Superman character, and share the things they felt were ultimately not successful, like landing some of the story’s bigger themes.

Hosts: Sean Fennessey and Amanda Dobbins
Producer: Jack Sanders
