Superman (2025) Review

Hosts John Sellmeyer and Alondra review the movie Superman (2025). DC Hero PreferencesThe hosts start by discussing their favorite DC heroes. Alondra chooses Batman, having grown up watching his movies, while John's favorite is The Flash, stemming from an old video game. He also expresses his liking for the new Green Lantern actor, despite never having seen the widely panned Ryan Reynolds film. Movie Review and New ActorsThe podcast centers on the 2025 Superman film. Both hosts praise the new lead actor who replaced Henry Cavill, noting his ability to balance seriousness with a lighter, more "goofy" side. The actor sometimes resembles Hayden Christensen from Star Wars. The hosts then discuss the other characters and actors in the film. They reference the "Justice Gang," which includes Green Lantern, Hawk Girl, and a character they initially struggle to name before Alondra's search reveals his name is Mr. Terrific. Both hosts agree that Mr. Terrific "stole every scene" he was in, though Alondra playfully suggests the dog, Krypto, was the real scene-stealer. John also wishes there had been a cameo from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson voicing Krypto, as he did in the Super-Pets movie. The State of the DC UniverseJohn raises a point about the new direction of DC films, specifically the "weird circumstance" of them deciding what to keep and what to discard from the previous "Snyder-verse." He uses the example of John Cena's character, Peacemaker, who was kept from the previous films, as opposed to other characters who are being completely recast.
