Episode 5 – Superman

Faster than a speeding bullet! More powerful than a locomotive! In this super-sized episode, Mike and Casey take to the skies of Metropolis with returning panelists Pól Rua of Mike and Pól Save the Universe! fame, and Sam Mulvey of the Ask an Atheist radio show! Our topic? The Man of Steel, Superman! We explore the character’s origins, his cultural relevance, his symbolism, from the glorious insanity of his Silver Age comic books to the modern attempts to make the character darker and “more realistic.” Music:  “Love Theme to Superman: the Movie” by John Williams “Main Theme to Superman: the Movie” by John Williams Previously titled: “Because I’m a Fucking Super Hero!”
