Summary

Instead of talking about a trailer this week we're talking an ENTIRE MOVIE! Ben, Ryan, and new-to-the-podcast Jesse B. Grove V spend some time going over the ins and outs of the newest addition to the long line of Superman films: Man of Steel.

Things get off to a weird Marxist start, but end up covering some of the following:

Does Jor-El's robot have a name? Ryan says, "yes."
Which Superman actor has the best chin:Reeve,Routh, Cavill, Welling, or maybe even...Daly?.
Is Superman boring? To this one, Ryan says, "no."
Does the new movie support Ben'sUnified Theory of Superman's Powers? The jury remains out.

Enjoy this cathartic episode of the podcast, and be sure to check out Jesse's webcomic, Eating the Bar, and all the other great shows on the Brachiolope Media Network!

Music for this week's show provided by:

Main Title from Superman - John Williams (what else could it possibly be?)
