This episode we do a no spoilers chat about James Gunn’s new Superman. Both Russ and I dug this Supes that speaks to a new generation and to a kinder, goofier Superman. We chat, of course about the discourse around the release of the film, how Superman IS an undocumented immigrant and how Dean Cain continues to be a desperate idiot.

Russ: 9/10

Zach: 9/10
