The CELEBRATING SUPERMAN series continues! In this episode, Shawn chats with MORGAN SIEBERT, owner of the SUPER MUSEUM in Metropolis, Illinois, and daughter of Super Museum founder JIM HAMBRICK. Though Jim sadly passed away in December 2024, his spirit lives on through his family and this incredible space, which houses one of the largest collections of Superman memorabilia in the entire world. Shawn and Morgan celebrate Jim's life with stories about how his collection got started, what it was like growing up with a dad who loved collecting Superman items, and their excitement for the upcoming SUPERMAN CELEBRATION on June 13-15, in Metropolis, Illinois.

To celebrate the release of James Gunn's SUPERMAN on July 11th, Shawn is kicking off a new podcasting project under the Missing Frames: Between Takes umbrella: CELEBRATING SUPERMAN. In the weeks and months leading up to the film's release, Shawn will be interviewing Superman writers, artists, filmmakers, artists, fans, etc. to celebrate the greatest superhero of all time. 

The first guest of this Celebrating Superman series is none other than legendary comic book writer MARK WAID. In the course of his incredible career, Mark has written over 2,000 comics, including one of Shawn's absolute favorite Superman stories: SUPERMAN: BIRTHRIGHT. During the conversation, Shawn and Mark discuss how Mark became a Superman fan, the DC editor who disliked Birthright so much he decided it was no longer the canonical Superman origin story, and the moment in the new trailer that made them both cry. They also discuss Mark's projects, both old and new, including Shawn's love for his WORLD'S FINEST fun and an update on THE LAST DAYS OF LEX LUTHOR.

Ambre Trujillo returns to Missing Frames to introduce Shawn to one of her favorite films, Ron Howard's A BEAUTIFUL MIND, starring Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly. Shawn has held a grudge against A Beautiful Mind ever since it beat The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring for Best Picture. Will this long-overdue viewing show him the error of his stubborn, nerdy ways?

Nic and Dani Smaldwin of the In Love, With Movies podcast, join Shawn for Missing Frames’ first episode of 2025! The frame that’s missing? Gary Ross’ Pleasantville, a film that Nic adores but that Shawn and Dani have never seen. Since its release in 1998, Pleasantville seems to have been mostly forgotten, but the trio discusses why it’s a much better film than people give it credit for.

Spencer Tweedy returns to Missing Frames to discuss his first ever viewing of Damien Chazelle's WHIPLASH, just in time for the film's 10th anniversary! (2024 also marks the ten-year anniversary of SUKIERAE, the brilliant album Spencer made with his dad, Wilco founder Jeff Tweedy.) As a drummer, Spencer has always wanted to see Whiplash, but has never gotten around to it. Shawn has been a fan of the film since its release, but it's been a minute since he last watched it. In their freewheeling discussion, Shawn and Spencer discuss whether Whiplash lives up to its esteemed reputation and the concept of pain and adversity as a necessity for making great art.

The one and only Carley Cooper returns to introduce Shawn to Robert Zemeckis' DEATH BECOMES HER. Sandwiched between two of Zemeckis' most-beloved films (Who Framed Roger Rabbit? and Forrest Gump), Death Becomes Her has always been a bit neglected. But the film made major strides for the special effects industry, ultimately winning the Oscar for Best Visual Effects in 1993, and paving the way for CGI to thrive in film's like Jurassic Park. Does the film work beyond its landmark effects? Tune in to find out what Shawn and Carley think!
