Vol.3 Bonus #2 - Superman (2025): Culture, Contradiction, and the Politics of Memory
Update: 2025-10-06
Description
"What the hell is water?"
Art, music, literature, drama. When the frontiers of human potential slam against capitalist industry, a force that can't be stopped confronts an object that can't be moved. Capitalism twists and redirects culture and imagination into a revenue stream, limiting to its flow the ideas we're allowed have and drowning all the rest.
At the nexus of pop culture and "Pop Culture" struggles Superman, swimming against the current.
----------
Special thanks to our Lovable Sidekicks: Better Possible Futures, Kourtney Smith, Walt Lewellyn, Kafka, The Black Casebook's Very Own Nightwing, JD Lunt, Ambird, Mr. Pig from the Intervention, Travis Armstrong, Chris Marks, Wirecats, Sheeee-itttt, VoidTek, Mars Hottentot, Richard Bell, TakoTuesday, Joseph, and Knife Money
----------
Errata: I mention that the Boravians are speaking Czech. They're speaking Croatian. Thank you to the listeners who pointed that out.
