#094: Superman (2025) with Case Aiken

For our ninety-fourth episode, we’re welcoming one new member of the Three-Timers Club to discuss another. Yes, friend of the show Case Aiken (“Men of Steel” and “Another Pass” podcasts) joins us to discuss the son of Jor-El: Superman, specifically the one represented in James Gunn’s 2025 DC Universe reboot “Superman” (duh)! Among the things discussed: basing super dog (and very naughty boy) Krypto on the director’s own pup, ten-minute dialogue scenes in a four-quadrant superhero movie, being unfamiliar with key characters on purpose, wondering if the Super or the Man is more important, differences between Earth-2 and Earth-3, the influence of “Super Friends”, and so much more. Ryan’s Recommendations: “Batman Returns” (1992), “Batman Beyond” (1999-2001), and “The Suicide Squad” (2021) For 500 hours of exclusive bonus content and early releases of every episode, join our Patreon and become an Official Minder: http://www.patreon.com/onetrackmindpodcast Our network: https://www.someonesfavoriteproductions.com/network Theme Music by: Bildschirm (bildschirm.bandcamp.com).
