Episode 155 - Superman Returns (2006)

About this episode

Cooper and Nolan discuss the film Superman Returns, exploring its impact on the Superman franchise and its modern elements.

Cooper and Nolan are coming back down to Earth this week when they discuss SUPERMAN RETURNS by special request! It was only 12 episodes ago that the guys covered a Superman movie, and let's just say a LOT has changed since then. A nearly two-decade gap means there's a new Man of Steel in town, along with more modern effects and a brand new story. You know, unless you count the parts where they re-hash Superman's origin AGAIN... Was this able to re-establish the Superman movie franchise, or did the lengthy runtime and questionable performances stop this return from being triumphant? Look up in the sky to find out; this episode (featuring a beer from Flying Monkeys Craft Brewery) is ready to save the day!
