📰🗞️*NEW EPISODE ALERT!* 📰🗞️
Joining forces with special guest Zach Moore from Always Hold On To Smallville , we discuss what may in fact be the most underrated piece of Superman media of all time - William Kotzwinkle's incredible Superman III novelisation.

Why does the tie-in book for the weirdest Superman film of all have to hit this hard? Why is Gus Gorman's backstory so much more credible here than in the actual film? Why is everyone so h***y in this book? What otherworldly extraterrestrial frightened the bejeepers out of young Alan? Why did none of the other Superman films receive novels as thorough as this one?

All of these mysteries of the universe and more explored!

PLUS! John discusses his other exciting roles on films like Cool as Ice (with Vanilla Ice!), Walker Texas Ranger (with Chuck Norris!) and Rob's favourite Melrose Place (with Heather Locklear!). All this and much more!

📰🗞️NEW EPISODE ALERT! 📰🗞️

"What would the world be like without Captain Hook?"

Alan and Rob return after five years in deep space a brief hiatus to talk all about the beloved (depending on what age you are!) holiday classic “Hook” about an older Peter Pan, played by the late great Robin Williams.

PLUS! A bumper catch-up discussion on all the big DC comics and TV shows that have been in the ether while we've been away! We discuss The Penguin, the excellent prose novel “Batman Resurrection” and Rob gives his thoughts on the much talked-about finale of “Superman & Lois”! All this plus plenty of comic book discussion!

STAY TUNED LATER THIS WEEK when we will be BACK to discuss a very anticipated trailer…

NEW EPISODE ALERT!

Alan and Rob are joined once again by long-time friend of the show Matt Truex as they delve into the weird and wonderful history of the ill-fated (and yet indestructible) 1966 Broadway musical version of Superman.

Fascinating connections with the Superman movie series! Problematic villains! Questionable deviations from the source material! All of these oddities abound, culminating in what may in fact be the strangest piece of Superman media ever: the 1975 TV special adaptation of the musical! Get ready for some hot takes!

Later, Matt unearths a diamond in the rough - the 2010 Dallas revival of the musical which heavily adapted the original book, creating a brand new story far closer to the Superman legend so near and dear to our hearts. You won't want to miss this!

Be sure to send us any thoughts you have on the Broadway musical, YOUR favourite musicals (superhero or otherwise) or even a voicenote of you belting our your favourite musical numbers!

📰🗞️🚨NEW EPISODE AVAILABLE NOW! And it's a BIG one!🚨 📰🗞️

Alan and Rob take a look back on John Byrne's seminal 1986 MAN OF STEEL miniseries, the book that changed Superman forever. How does its fast-paced storytelling hold up? How did Byrne's decisions have ramifications for the ensuing decades of Superman (and DC) storytelling? Was there an overemphasis on Clark's Earth upbringing or did it provide a necessary grounding for the character?

All these questions and more are answered PLUS we read some very divisive fan letters and tweets on the subject!

Available on Apple Podcasts and anywhere you get your podcasts! Please consider RATING AND REVIEWING especially on Apple Podcasts!

WE'VE GOT A SUIT!

With the reveal of the full Superman costume from James Gunn's new "SUPERMAN" film hot off the presses, Alan and Rob give their immediate, honest reactions.

Plus - the lads are joined once again by esteemed Superman podcaster Michael Bailey to examine the seminal Superman animated films produced by Fleischer Studios in the 1940s. The panel discusses the impact of these stunningly beautiful animated shorts and how the work of Max and Dave Fleischer would go on to have an enduring influence on the Superman mythology forevermore. They also examine how the production and popularity of the shorts would change animation forever and go on to inspire creators for decades to come.
