The Incomparable, number 567, May 2021.

Welcome back, everybody, to The Incomparable podcast that gets dumberable as the years go by.

I'm your host, Jason Snell.

And this episode promises to be, oh, I hope, I hope, I hope.

One of the dumber episodes we've done, it is because of a brilliant idea by our very

own Lisa Schmeiser, who said, as we were all talking in Slack, what would happen if

our tour directors were given intellectual property from comic books and told to make a comic

book movie.

And from there, we spitballed out.

Basically, what if it was like Mad Libs and you basically were handed directors and intellectual property and told to make a pitch for that person's movie.

And essentially, that's what we're going to be doing here.

We're going to imagine, if you will, famous directors making superhero movies.

Because, you know, that's all the movies there are anymore, as far as I know, as far as I can tell.

There are no other movies but superhero movies.

So, of course, your famous directors will need to make superhero movies.

It's the law. It's not just make superhero movies. It's the law.

It's not just a good idea. It's the law. Let me tell you, in the order in which they will

pick as selected by random.org, who is on this spectacularly interesting podcast episode?

Picking first, you'll hear him first. It's not a draft. It doesn't, okay? It's not a draft. It doesn't matter. I'll explain how this works later. But first, the first, you'll hear him first. It's not a draft. It doesn't, okay? It's not a draft. It doesn't

matter. I'll explain how this works later. But first, the first person you will hear pitching a

ridiculous movie will be Nathan Alderman. Hello. Hi, I am really excited to find out what

would happen if a visionary filmmaker, like say, Zach Snyder were to take on, oh, I don't know, the Justice League. Oh, boy. You know, tune in and find out, everybody.
