    Superman Teaser - Episode 4
    Jan 10 2025
    A supersized episode for a super teaser: It's James Gunn's SUPERMAN, the newest reboot of the DC OG superhero staple. We're joined by self-proclaimed Superman obsessor, and very special guest, Patrick Cohen who educates us on the "D level superheroes," while Angel has none of Evan's MoviePass nonsense, and Evan switches Jor-El and Kal-El's name without missing a beat.
