Look! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's our main podcast review for this week for James Gunn's "Superman" starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, Nicholas Hoult, Edi Gathegi, Anthony Carrigan, Nathan Fillion & Isabela Merced. Joining me for this review are Sara Clements, Josh Parham, Cody Dericks, Giovanni Lago & Brendan Hodges. There's a lot to discuss as Gunn gives us not only a new standalone Superman film but also attempts to reboot DC's universe on a whole new path into the future. What did we think of it? Please tune in as we discuss the story, its themes and parallels to today's modern world, the casting of these iconic characters and their performances, the action sequences, and visual effects, the score, including the use of John Williams' iconic theme for the Man of Steel, the future of the franchise, its awards season chances, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review.
