Superman is the first full entry into James Gunn’s DCU. Facing backlash from those who wished the DCEU to continue, the film had a lot riding on it to prove the narrative vision of this new version of the DC universe across multiples forms of media. In this episode we have part one of our examination of this film. We discuss how it works as an initial outting for the DCU. We talk about some of the themes inherent within the character of Superman and shown in this film. We also dive into several of the controversies in the movie and give our takes on them.

This week’s five-minute controversy asks who should be cast to play Kang in any future MCU appearances.

This week Ryan, Shaun, Nate, and Cammie join the cast.

Jim discusses a little-known Sci-Fi film from 1955 – “The Atomic Man” aka “Timeslip,” starring Gene Nelson, Faith Domergue, Peter Arne, Joseph Tomelty, Vic Perry, Martin Wyldeck, written by Charles Eric Maine and Directed by Ken Hughes. This Anglo-American gem centers around a famous nuclear scientist who is at the heart of a strange mystery involving attempted murder and a strange man who talks gibberish. And yet, there is more. Find out on MONSTER ATTACK!, the podcast dedicated to old monster movies.

Echo was a surprising addition to the Phase Five lineup. While the other characters in the MCU were characters with significant followings, Echo was a relatively minor character from the comics. However, due to a strong showing in the Hawkeye series, Alaqua Cox’s character was allowed to star in her own series with ramifications for Daredevil: Born Again. In this episode we review the Echo series. We talk about the connections to Hawkeye, Daredevil, and the prior Netflix series of Defenders characters. We discuss the depiction of the characters, what we think of the performances, and whether we’d like to see Echo show up again in the MCU.

This week’s five-minute controversy asks who should be cast to play Kang in any future MCU appearances.

This week James, Alli, and Stephen join the cast.

Flopcast episode 692! With a free week before we start like eight months of nonstop Dragon Con coverage, Kevin and the Mayor are trying something new: We’re recording the show from outside Chickentown Studios, in the great and filthy outdoors. Hopefully this will provide a more festive summertime atmosphere, until the mosquitoes and bats and angry villagers show up. So with nothing better to do until a search party arrives, we offer a couple of new movie reviews (Superman and Fantastic Four), recommend a TV show or two, and plug Kevin’s recent guest appearance on the EnterpriseSplaining podcast. And that’s it! Next week, we’ll have our first Dragon Con preview show. And we’ll probably be back inside. It’s scary out here.
