Summary

We have a bonus feed called Friends From Work+ where you as a supporter can receive extra episodes of Friends From Work, comic book coverage, and this series we call "Screensaver" where we discuss non-MCU films. It costs $8 a month and you can subscribe on Patreon, Spotify or Apple. It directly supports this podcast and helps us to continue doing what we are doing.

Today we are giving away a free Screensaver episode covering James Gunn's "Superman" as an example of these kinds of bonus episodes. Enjoy (the movie kicked butt)!

0:43.1	Spoiler, it usually is.
0:45.2	Also, if you like vision, you'll love Spock.
0:47.5	Same emotional repression, but with sharper cheekbones and way better eyebrows.
