Why Superman is making MAGA so mad

from Standing Room Only · host Salon.com, Amanda Marcotte, Coleman Spilde

Conservative pundits are mad about the new"Superman" movie. They've called the blockbuster "Superwoke" for emphasizing Superman's immigrant roots and complained about Gunn's directorial message of kindness and morality. Amanda explains what their anger really reveals about their deep anxieties around masculinity and race. Also, they completely miss the point of what Superman has stood for forever! This week's guest is Salon senior culture writer Coleman Spilde.
