  • Top 5 Songs of 1980
    Sep 9 2025

    In this brand-new episode, Jason and Dee fire up the time machine and head back to 1980—a year that bridged the gap between the disco era and the dawn of MTV. But this isn’t just a countdown. Instead of simply naming their favorite tracks, Jason and Dee drop stories, trivia, and clever clues that slowly lead to each song’s big reveal. Can you guess the title before they do?

    From arena rock anthems to soulful ballads and genre-defining pop hits, the guys break down not just the songs themselves, but their impact on the culture of 1980—the year before music videos would change everything. They also share two honorable mentions each, celebrating the tracks that almost made the cut but still left a lasting mark.

    Packed with nostalgia, surprises, and a whole lot of laughs, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who remembers cranking up the radio in 1980—or just loves great music history. 🎶

    👉 Grab your Walkman and feather your hair—it’s time to relive the soundtrack of 1980 with Jason and Dee on the Surely You Can’t Be Serious Podcast!

  • "Superman Returns" (2006) What the HECK happened?
    Sep 2 2025

    This week on the Surely You Can’t Be Serious Podcast, Jason and Dee are joined by special guest Jeff Johnson of the A Filmm By podcast to tackle one of the most debated comic book films of the 2000s — Superman Returns (2006). The guys break down the pros, the cons, the behind-the-scenes trivia, and ultimately ask the big question: what the heck happened? Why didn’t this highly anticipated return to the Man of Steel soar the way audiences and critics hoped?

    But we don’t stop in 2006. Jason, Dee, and Jeff also dive into their thoughts on the latest DC outing, Superman (2025), giving their candid first impressions of how the new film stacks up to past attempts at rebooting the iconic character.

    And finally, the guys give their Final Judgment: which movie is the better watch — Joel Schumacher’s neon-fueled Batman & Robin (1997) or Bryan Singer’s nostalgic Superman Returns (2006)? Grab your cape and your kryptonite, because this episode is faster than a speeding bullet and packed with laughs, debates, and geeky goodness!

    But we won’t stop there—Jason, Dee, and Jeff will pitch their own revisions on how this movie could have been saved from its icy fate. ❄️ Finally, we set the stage for next week’s showdown as we compare Batman & Robin to Superman Returns (2006) to determine which film deserves to wear the cape.
