Episode 132: DC Studios' SUPERMAN

What this episode covers

EPIC SUPERSIZED SUPERMAN ANALYSIS!  *Links in bio - please check out our video episodes on Spotify and YouTubeThe year’s most eagerly anticipated film soars into theatres and Watch Skip Plus gives you a KRYPTON-sized critical analysis of the James Gunn-directed superhero epic. Eschewing pluses this week, WilDaBeast and Cupcake are joined by Pod-Father Sam U. Rai from the Gentleman’s Guide to Midnite Cinema podcast and “Fakest of Shemps” Jeremy (who guested on our recent Oscars episode and creamed us with his spot-on predictions). Get ready for a  stripped-down (image-free) roundtable discussion about the pop culture impact of Superman, James Gunn as a filmmaker, the cast, the CGI, and whether this first film…the charter voyage for the new DC Studios (RIP Snyder-verse) and the first chapter of the proposed “Gods and Monsters” DC media-verse…is worthy of the hype/relaunch/reboot of a storied DC character or if it’s yet another failed attempt for DC and a misstep for Gunn (who has dabbled now in BOTH DC and Marvel franchises). LOOK UP IN THE SKY….IT’S A BIRD! IT’S A PLANE! IT’S A NEW WATCH SKIP PLUS EPISODE!!! (Editor’s note: HOW in the world is this review LONGER than the actual movie?)TIMESTAMPSChapters00:00 Teaser01:50 Intro / Superman Fans08:03 Superman: Below the Line / Production22:56 Superman: Above the Line / The Cast46:57 Spoiler-Free Thoughts01:14:21 Super-Spoilers Ahead02:09:21 Outro / Stinger- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: [email protected]: https://www.instagram.com/watchskipplus/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/watchskippluspodX: https://x.com/watchskipplusYouTube: www.youtube.com/@WatchSkipPlusDiscord: https://discord.gg/PGX4RRUe#DCstudios #jamesgunn #petersafran #superman #superman2025 #davidcorenswet #alantudyk #rachelbrosnahan #nicholashoult #skylargisondo #frankgrillo #beckbennett #wendellpierce #michaelianblack #zlatkoburic #edicathegi #nathanfillion #isabelamerced #anthonycarrigan #pruitttaylorvince #henrybraham #davidfleming #johnmurphy #DC #domainentertainment #trollcourtentertainment #thesafrancompany #warnerbros
