    Look up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's a black dude?  Superman is the worlds greatest superhero and has been for 75 years. Now as the world of comic book authors, artists and producers becomes as diverse and reflective of the world we live in, is it time to reimagine the Man of Steel? In this episode we talk about the politics of inclusion and how diversity has affected even  fictional societies. Does the S mean the same thing if it is not worn on the chest of a white guy from Kansas? Can we accept Kara/Supergirl if she's from Brazil?  Are we really making progress on inclusion, or are we practicing tokenism? All questions that we ask and answer in this episode....BUIpy2nyPiRcvkb78Y54 Support the Show.Subscribe on our new website! Share and leave a review! https://superhero-politics-podcast.onpodium.com/

    Embrace The Void

    Welcome friends, to a podcast for a darker timeline. Maybe the darkest of all timelines. Definitely not one of the good timelines. Maybe it’s always been a dark timeline, maybe the Hadron collider screwed us over. Science may never know. What we do know is that we live in the void. The void, a place where a chittering mass of void crabs can infest a person suit and win the presidency. The void, a place where we're just clever enough to know that climate change is happening, but not quite clever enough to do anything about it. The void seems terrible and cruel, but it loves you, in its own ironic way.

    Cannonball of Death

    Welcome to Anti-wave Podcast, where Robert Cannon + Ira Heffler discuss all your Anti-wave movie needs. What the hell is Anti-wave, you ask? Great question. In short, Anti-wave is a way to describe films that seek to buck the typical Hollywood trends. Anti-wave is an opportunity to reimagine the way we construct genre films. Anti-westerns have been popular in the years since WWII, but where are the anti-sports films that try to shake off the expected formulaic writing? This podcast tries to find those films for you. Along the way, we deliver some laughs, get into film theory, and speak with filmmakers who share our anti-sentiment. So, welcome to Anti-wave Podcast! We hope you enjoy the ride.
