This week, Just The Thing takes on its most superpowered challenge yet: what happens when the ultimate shapeshifter faces the Man of Steel? Joined by book designer and comics connoisseur Chris Gould, Joel and Chris dive into James Gunn’s Superman (2025).

They dissect the film’s overt politics, its gloriously goofy comic-book logic, and why this version of Superman, with all his gentleness, feels genuinely radical in 2025. There's praise for David Corenswet’s performance, a lot of love for Krypto, and a deeply serious discussion about whether Batman is a workaholic.

And yes, they do actually consider whether The Thing could assimilate Superman.
