In this episode, we put on our capes (metaphorically… mostly) and dive headfirst into the world of superhero movies and their massive impact on modern cinema. 🦸♂️🎬
We kick things off by comparing Man of Steel with the original Superman films—exploring how tone, storytelling, and cinematic style have evolved over the decades. But, in true chaotic fashion, we quickly veer off course and end up in full-blown MCU territory.
From Phase 1 nostalgia to Phase 4 confusion, we get into what works, what doesn’t, and how Marvel managed to turn a connected universe into the blueprint for blockbuster storytelling. It’s less of a focused analysis and more of an enthusiastic cinematic ramble. Buckle up.
Hosted by: Ethan Osborne.
Featuring: Tom Ayling and Rob Garnett
