🦸‍♂️ Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope—it’s another deep dive from the Sanctum Sanctorum Podcast! 🎙️ In this episode, we don the red cape of nostalgia, fly headfirst into fatherhood feels, and try not to trip over Lex Luthor’s real estate schemes. 🏝️💥🎬 We’re tackling Superman Returns (2006)—the movie that asked, “What if Superman ghosted Earth for five years and came back like nothing happened?” The guys wrestle with big themes like: • 👶 Superdad energy (is Kal-El ready for a cosmic custody battle?) • 🧠 Storytelling vs. Sentiment: Can nostalgia carry a movie if the plot needs a protein shake? • 🙏 Spiritual threads: Is Superman just space Jesus again?
