Danny and guest Ryan Steans discuss Man of Steel, the 2013 Zack Snyder / Henry Cavill reboot that landed on our planet and made everything worse.

There are only two questions that really matter about a superhero movie: How much money did it make, and how hot are the people? Man of Steel did okay at the box office, but it really nailed the second part, introducing us to the world's hottest person — at least according to Danny, who promises that he won't spend the entire episode just being thirsty. Topics include: how much Krypton sucks, why we shouldn't have the concept of "cool" anymore, why everyone on Earth is an asshole, especially to strong people, and why people are not actually afraid of things that they don't understand.
