Join us as we revisit all of Film and TV’s live-action portrayals of Superman in anticipation of seeing David Corenswet as the Man of Steel.

On this episode, Ashley and Dylan discuss the fifth Superman film and the first not to feature Christopher Reeve, Superman Returns. Listen as Ashley and Dylan discuss the film, talk about the performances of Brandon Routh and Kate Bosworth and question if the movie should have tried to recapture the feel of the earlier films.
