This week on The Popcorn Podcast, Tommy and Ryan soar into the long-awaited return of the Man of Steel with James Gunn’s Superman. The film marks a bold new chapter for DC, blending heart, humor, and heroism in a way only Gunn can deliver.


🦸‍♂️ Superman (2025) Review
Gunn’s vision reintroduces Clark Kent not just as a god among mortals, but as a man caught between two worlds. Anchored by a heartfelt performance from David Corenswet and a powerful ensemble, Superman balances world-saving stakes with intimate, character-driven moments. We break down the film’s unique tone, the chemistry between Lois and Clark, and how this reboot reshapes the DCU’s future.
The film delivers jaw-dropping set pieces from a mid-air rescue above Metropolis to a tense moral standoff with Lex Luthor. That redefine what Superman means for a new generation. Plus, we talk about those surprise cameos and what they might mean for what’s coming next.

🎧 Episode Highlights:

  • Clark Kent’s Humanity: How Gunn grounds Superman in emotion and vulnerability.
  • Lois Lane Reimagined: A sharp, modern take on the iconic reporter—and her dynamic with Clark.
  • DCU Reset: What this film tells us about the future of the new DC cinematic universe.
