It's a fact — superheroes are everywhere these days. Movies, comics, video games...no matter what you're into, you can find capes and tights everywhere. But part and parcel of the long-running and wide-ranging storylines of superheroes is a sticky narrative question: how do we keep bulletproof gods who can literally fly somewhat grounded and vulnerable? Or at least enough so that we as the audience can still relate to them? On this episode, Saint and Jim break down the many flavors of Kryptonite, look at how Batman and Iron Man can hang despite having no actual superhuman powers (other than money), and what we can all learn from heroes of their eras, like Spider-Man and the X-Men. Plus, fans of tangents will enjoy a little of bit nerd news catch-up involving fantasy racism, the British Monarchy, and the fantastic Taylor Hawkins tribute show.
