History of Superhero Films: The Superman Serials!

from Pop Culture Historians · host Ryan Ritter

This week, we’ve reached a real milestone! First, the Pop Culture Historians break down the two Superman movie serials. We marvel at how good 1948’s SUPERMAN really was, and remake on how 1950’s ATOM MAN VS SUPERMAN introduces arguably one of the biggest supervillains ever. Finally, we dig into 1952’s SUPERMAN VS. THE MOLE MEN, a theatrical pilot to the 50’s television show. It’s George Reeves’ debut, folks! Truth, justice and the American way all await you this week on Pop Culture Historians!
