Explore the history of the Man of Steel's ever evolving origin story in comics, from a simple one page afterthought to year long multi-part epic. See how the origin has been used as an entry point for new audiences and jumping off point for a whole mythology.

The Unnamed Superman Podcast returns! As we await this weeks release of the Man of Steel, we present Damon Shaw, Chris Mitchell and Mike Ortiz doing a commentary for the Director's Cut of Superman the Movie. There's some audio echo on damon and Chris, but Mike sounds fine and he does a lot of the talking. He really dig the movie too much and knows way too much about it!

Damon Shaw, Mike Ortiz and Chris Mitchell didn't plan to do an episode talking about Star Trek Into Darkness, and yet they did. After recording their Superman The Movie commentary (which comes out next week) they just started talking trek, cause that's what they do. After 45 minutes, they realized they had an episode. Listen to them give negative reactions to the negative reactions of fans online.

I'm not even gonna try to explain this. Damon Shaw, Mike Ortiz, Allen, Josh Van Valkenburg and Josh Perrigo discuss something. They aren't even sure. It's all UNKNOWN. Just a whole bunch of random. But there's space penis.

Time to get schooled, as Damon Shaw, Mike Ortiz, Kathy Lehman, Barry Ingram and BJ Anderson discuss the BEST FICTIONAL SCHOOL. It's mutants, wizards, nerds, slobs, stoners, surfers, time lords, winners and losers. Just like real school, only sometimes there are death traps, and they probably get laid more, at least more than i did.

I know I say spoilers over and over and over again but there are no spoilers in this mini ep. We enjoyed the movie so much we wanted you to go in with just two things. One, we liked it a lot! Two, the fanboys are gonna be pisssssssed. Enjoy Mike Josh and I as we go to the movies and don't talk about the movie at all.

ACTION! It's time to celebrate the kings of cinema as Damon Shaw, Mike Ortiz, Christy Wooke, Greg Blanchard, Jeremy Sacher and Paul Kowalksi bring you the BEST DIRECTOR. From thrill-makers to surrealists, box office titans to arthouse darlings, these visionaries have crossed genres, decades and languages to make us, laugh, cry, rage, think and just plain marvel at the magic of movies.

CUT! THAT'S A WRAP!

Brackets don't seem to be working at the moment.

Allen & Jerad Formby haven't seen Star Trek: Into Darkness yes, but they still talk about it. There's no spoilers (because they haven't seen it) and they don't spend the whole time talking about it (because they haven't seen it), but they spend a good deal of time talking about Star Trek 2009, Star Trek in general, hopes for the new movie, fears about the new move, and some thoughts on the next one.
