Some of the topics discussed include their mutual love for Halloween, their passion for the horror movie genre, their ‘Top 3 Favourite Horror Movies’ and that OTHER James Gunn Superman movie, ‘Brightburn’. 

Is it the best version of “Evil Superman” put to screen? You’ll have to listen to find out!

Celebrating 35 years of the "Superboy" series, Alan and Rob are joined by series star Gerard Christopher, to talk all about the oft-forgotten Superman series.

PLUS! Gerard reveals who he'd like to play in James Gunn's Superman Legacy.

Gerard will be appearing at Rhode Island Comic Con November 3-5 along with a cast of other Superman acting legends.

"Judas priest!"

In our second and final special episode celebrating 30 years of "Lois & Clark", Rob is joined by long-time listeners and friends of the show Daniela Rod and Stuart Mulrain - both of whom watched and loved "Lois & Clark" outside the USA. We discuss our different experiences with the show, how it resonated with us and how uniquely different the show's marketing was in the UK especially (where it wasn't even called 'Lois & Clark'!). 

And we get Daniela and Stuart's Top 5 episodes! Top 5 moments! And of course their Top 5 GOOFY GUYS.

"Great shades of Elvis!"

Alan and Rob pay tribute to 30 years of "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman" - a formative Superman TV series that is near and dear to their hearts. Joining us this week is Craig Byrne of the legendary Kryptonsite who talks about being at the forefront of the L&C fandom back when it was still on the air (he even visited the set!). We're also blessed with returning guest Matt Truex (of "Always Hold Onto Legends of Tomorrow" and "Lois & Clark'd: The New Podcasts of Superman"). 

Top 5 episodes! Top 5 moments! Top 5 GOOFY GUYS (original villains that didn't originate from the comics!). Plus, a general discussion of what made the show so special, as well as why it may have faded from the conversation. And yes, we do talk about THAT elephant in the room!

"You and me get Superman, wanna know why? 'Cause we're from the streets."

Rob and Alan pore through all three drafts of the legendary never-made film "SUPERMAN LIVES", examining each draft's huge differences and quirky charms. What surprising similarities do these scripts have with later Superman films? Would Nicolas Cage have triumphed as the Man of Steel or would he have gone down in history as the greatest miscasting in comic book cinema? Why a giant spider? What exactly did Jon Peters think Superman was? How great would the Kenner toyline for this film have been? Stay till the VERY end for this one!

PLUS! Alan and Rob discuss going to see 'Superman in Concert' in Dublin.

TIMECODES: 

00:00:00 - Introduction, Superman in Concert review
