In this epic Author Culture episode, Janeen sits down with her husband Stephen Ippolito (superhero super-nerd and cinematic sidekick) to tackle the newest Superman movie—and they’re both psyched and impressed by how much they liked it.

In this fun, nerdy breakdown, they dig into:

* A Superman portrayal that doesn’t feel flat or forced

* Why the dog deserves an Oscar (or at least a cape)

* How the film balances humor, stakes, and humanity

* Gorgeous cinematography and immersive action

* How character actions can speak louder than words

If you’re a fan of superhero films, Superman, and combining fun storytelling and action with a great vibe of kindness and humility, tune in!
