Jon and Dave are back to celebrate two years since the show started. And this time out, we’re talking Man of Steel. But not just talking about it, we’re watching it AND talking about it. That’s right: movie commentary, baby! So slap in your Bluray Disc or DVD and get ready to hear everything we have to say on this latest foray of Superman into the land of film.
And maybe, JUST MAYBE, you’ll find something in your stocking at the end of the show.

Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everyone! I am back for this Christmas season to look at a Superman promo comic that was released around this time in 1940. Joining me all the way from England is Andrew Leyland of Hey Kids Comics and Fantasticast podcasting fame! So join us for some talk about Superman, Christmas music, and Santa Claus being unable to do his job without help (as seems to happen every year in some story or another).

I’m following my new format this episode, separating off discussion of real world and contemporary comics, as well as all Other Media adventures of Superman into their own episode here.
In the daily strips, a new adventure begins as Superman sets out to help change the life of the meekest man in the world.
The Sunday strips finish up Superman’s confrontation with the robot bandits of Metropolis, and then Metropolis is attacked by a hurricane. So of course Lois decides that’s a great time to go out and get a story.
On the radio, Clark Kent wraps up the mystery of the 5 million dollar gold heist before setting off on a Native American adventure with Jimmy Olsen to solve the mystery of a series of deaths that are always accompanied by the howl of a coyote.
Not only that, but since 1940 is over, I take a few moments at the end to look back at the year and pick out some favorite and not so favorite works to come out of the franchise in the previous twelve months.

After another of my now regular hiatuses, I am back to discuss Action Comics 33 with my good friend Charlie Niemeyer. We’ll be looking at Jack Burnley’s penultimate story of his fabled run on the book, featuring a will, a lumber mill, a muscled and mustachioed Frenchman, and Lois dying in a whirlpool! (spoilers)
In the back-up features, Tex Thomson undergoes a significant and patriotic transformation. We’ll also discuss the latest affairs of Pep Morgan, the Black Pirate, the Three Aces, Clip Carson, and Zatara.
Thanks for listening!
