Let's Talk Superman
from The Screen Society Podcast Hosted by LogJam Media
Up, up, and finally away. This week, we’re revisiting James Gunn’s 2025 Superman — but with a twist: it’s a first-time watch. We break down the movie from the perspective of someone seeing this new Man of Steel with fresh eyes, digging into what works, what surprised us, and what this version of Superman says about the character in 2025. We’re joined by special guest Jordan Wiegand from the Supes and Sabers podcast, who helps us zoom out and place the film within the bigger picture. We talk all things Superman, the tone and themes of the movie, how it redefines hope and heroism, and whether this is the right foundation for what comes next. From there, the conversation opens up into the state of the DCU — where it stands right now, how confident (or cautious) we feel about it, and what this movie signals about the future of DC under James Gunn. We also look ahead at what’s coming down the pipeline, what excites us most, and what still needs to be proven. Whether you’re a lifelong Superman fan, a DC skeptic, or someone still deciding how you feel about the new DCU, this episode is a full-on nerdy, thoughtful, and passionate revisit of the movie that’s supposed to launch it all.
