I share my thoughts on the Richard Donner cut of Superman 2 and Superman 2025, James Gunn’s latest attempt to revive the franchise.

I have calls from Karl Rodriguez of The GMologist presents… (podcast), James Knight and Tyranner of the Southwest London Sofa Gang, and Joe Richter of Hindsighless (podcast).

I’m also very pleased to announce the launch of a new podcast I’m involved with, entitled With Wife and I. My wife, Isla, suggested we take turns to choose a movie to watch together, then share our thoughts with anyone who cares to listen. Here’s our very first episode, where we pit Bram Stoker’s Dracula against Renfield https://open.spotify.com/episode/29HMVF3BBpClDiAwzczghP?si=ts3ULH8uRgy3rfLXFOyRxw

This episode features the welcome return of Barney Dicker from Loco Ludus, who talks about Luke Gearing’s Swyvers, Guards of Traitor’s Toll from Grey For Now Games and Cyberpunk Red: Combat Zone from Monster Fight Club, some great feedback from Joe Richter of Hindsightless.

I share my thoughts on Kpop Demon Hunters directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans.
