Matt Truex joins the All Star Superfan Podcast once again for a rousing roundtable discussion on the 2006 blockbuster 'Superman Returns'. We laugh! We cry! We yell 'WRONG!' to a bewildered crowd. Matt shares a deeply personal connection to the film while Rob whines about mid-2000s CGI. Alan is on the fence!

MEANWHILE: Another Superman Returns! Alan and Rob share their thoughts on Henry Cavill's return to Metropolis.

"Judas priest!"

In our second and final special episode celebrating 30 years of "Lois & Clark", Rob is joined by long-time listeners and friends of the show Daniela Rod and Stuart Mulrain - both of whom watched and loved "Lois & Clark" outside the USA. We discuss our different experiences with the show, how it resonated with us and how uniquely different the show's marketing was in the UK especially (where it wasn't even called 'Lois & Clark'!).

And we get Daniela and Stuart's Top 5 episodes! Top 5 moments! And of course their Top 5 GOOFY GUYS.

This week Alan and Rob are joined by veteran podcasting legend Michael Bailey to discuss what may be the most important Superman story ever: The Clan of the Fiery Cross - the landmark radio serial that delivered a crushing blow to the legitimacy of a very real hate organisation.

Join us as we talk all things radio - the magic of Bud Collyer's dual performance as Clark and Superman, the way the stories and episodes still hold up today), the hilarious ads for 'Kelloggs Pep' and even how the radio stories relate to other versions of Superman. YOU WON'T WANT TO MISS THIS ADVEN-TURE FELLOWS AND GIRLS (AND NON-BINARY FRIENDS!).
