It’s simple: We saw James Gunn’s Superman. We are here to review one of the most momentous comic book movie releases in recent memory. Before that we talk a little Fantastic Four & discuss the Ghost of Yotei State of Play. We will note in the timecodes when we go into full spoilers for Superman in case you want to bow out before then! Thank you to everyone who continues to support and don’t forget to subscribe to download new episodes as they become available and don’t be afraid to share a rating!

Superman has landed, and with him comes the dawn of a bold new era for DC. James Gunn's vision for the Man of Steel isn't just a fresh take. It's a triumphant return to what makes Superman an enduring cultural icon: unwavering goodness in a world that desperately needs it.
David Corenswet embodies Superman with a natural charm and earnestness that feels both timeless and refreshingly modern. His ability to switch between the confident, sky-soaring hero and the thoughtful, somewhat awkward Clark Kent reveals a performer who deeply understands the dual nature at Superman's core. In this film, we see a Superman who's still figuring out his place in the world, balancing who he thinks he should be with who he wants to be.
Nicholas Hoult delivers a Lex Luthor for the ages with the ability to be genuinely menacing without veering into caricature. His ideological clash with Superman forms the beating heart of the film's conflict, offering moments that feel pulled straight from the comics while resonating with contemporary themes. The supporting cast shines just as brightly, particularly Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane and Edi Gathegi's scene-stealing Mr. Terrific, who emerges as the surprise standout of the film.
Been disappointed by previous Superman films? This one will make you believe a man can fly again. Watch it on the biggest screen possible and remember why we fell in love with superhero stories in the first place.
