(Subject to error)

00:00 Case Aiken Season one has a couple, like, events that feel like this should be the season finale. Like the floating island one. Yeah. And then it's like, oh, no, we're just gonna keep going.

00:07 Derek Van Dyke Season one just did a lot of great, like, mini story...

It's exciting to reinvent a character as classic as Superman for a new generation while remaining true to his core. Case and Jmike are joined by Red and Blue from Overly Sarcastic Productions to gush about the first season of "My Adventures with Superman".

We're visited from Jala-chan's place by Jala-chan herself and she brought goodies! In this case, she's paying off a vow to spread the word of Hitman issue 34, a famed emotional exchange between Superman and a fan (who happens to be an assassin).

Find Jala-chan at her place!

Case has raved about the 90s anthology "Superheroes" a lot on this show and it's finally time to talk about one of the most memorable. In this case, Case got to even chat with the author! Case and Jmike are joined by Keith Lehtinen for a conversation about Reflected Glory with an interview with comics legend, Paul Kupperberg!

We're going BACK to the FUTURE! Jim Fetters joins Jmike and Case for a look at Alan Davis and Mark Farmer's 30th Century followup to JLA: The Nail, Superboy's Legion!

Back in the day, Case and Jmike teamed up with a bunch of other podcasters to do a 4 part review of Zack Snyder's Justice League.  Collected here is all 4 parts!

We're back with another Pop Quiz as Jmike tries to pick Case's brain for one last pre-Baby Brain time!

Let's wrap up our discussion of the Death of Superman with a look back on the classic "Imaginary Story" that asked how the writer who co-created Superman would have killed the Man of Steel. Case and Jmike are joined by comics historian Alan Kistler for a conversation about the Silver Age tale.

Back in the day (we won't say how far back), Case was a playwright with a fledgling theater company called JustASK Productions and he would write plays about nerd stuff. Here's a monologue he did about the death of Superman, as read by Geoff Moonen, with a discussion about the New York Theatre Scene of the Aughts. BONUS: Stay tuned for the WORST DRESS REHEARSAL STORY EVER! You might think you have a worse one, but you are wrong.

We're doing a CROSSOVER with "'Fun' and Games with Matt and Geoff" because we're talking about the 16-bit Death and Return of Superman beat 'em up, baby!

Superman is dead! Yet four beings claiming to be Superman have risen to take his place! JD Martin is back to talk with Case and Jmike about the 2019 animated adaptation to the classic tale!

Each of the pretenders left an impression, but none could truly live up to the real deal. Zach Herring joins us again to conclude the comic storyline of Superman's journey back to the land of the living.

Superman defined the modern superhero, but his death and subsequent impersonation by 4 pretenders opened the doors for him to be reassessed through a lens of a redefined modernity. Zach Herring returns to discuss the uncertain time of the Reign of the Supermen!

It's easy to focus on big stories like the final stand of a great hero, but it's also important to tell the tale of those that are left behind to pick up the pieces! From the "We Have Issues" podcast (not to mention our new sibling show, "Jukebox Vertigo"!), we are joined by Keith Lehtinen to discuss the "Funeral For A Friend" arc that followed the "Death of Superman"!

There have been many attempts to bring the infamous battle between Superman and Doomsday to other formats, but the 2018 animated adaptation is the one to finally nail it! Duke joins us for a conversation about this brutal rendition.

For half of a century, Superman was an implacable force for good who overcame every foe, but his confrontation with the force of destruction known as Doomsday ended with mutual destruction. From The Inks and Issues podcast, Kieran Bennett joins Case and Jmike for a look back on the battle that tempered the Man of Steel!

What happens when the powerful decide to stop upholding the status quo and try to make the world a better place? Nic Woolfe joins Case and Jmike for the 1985 epic featuring Marvel's answer to the Justice League by Mark Gruenwald!

Before he was Squirrel Girl's physics professor, Ben Tippett hypothesized an explanation for Superman's powers and Case and Jmike want to to talk about it with him! Ben Tippett is on to talk about his paper and he has past guest and host of the "Science… Sort of… podcast", Ryan Haupt, with him to translate!

Who is the ancient champion who wields the Power of Shazam? Case and Jmike are joined by Hans Martin Jr. and Steven Angulo to discuss the history of Black Adam.

Check out next week's episode of The Real Movie Critic Vs. The CineGuy, where Case and Jmike join Hans and Steven to review the new film, Black Adam.

No conversation about All Star Superman would be complete without the two guests who are tied for most number of appearances on this show! So, to round out the 100th episode spectacular, Case and Jmike are joined by Duke and JD Martin to talk about The Animated Adaptation of All Star Superman!

It's the 100th episode, baby! So we're covering All Star Superman, widely considered one of the best Superman stories of all time. Well, we want to do it right, so, for the second part of our three part retrospective, we're joined by June Munford and Alan Kistler for an in depth look at the back half of the series.

It's hard to believe that the podcast has been going for four years and we're only now getting to All Star Superman, widely considered one of the best Superman stories of all time. Well, we want to do it right, so for the first part we're joined by June Munford and Alan Kistler for an in depth look at the first six issues.

We're joined by Ryan Luis Rodriguez to talk about DC's first attempt at adapting the Death of Superman into an animated feature, Superman: Doomsday.

Superman has been a cultural icon for almost as long as recorded music has been a thing, so it makes sense that lots of songs have been inspired by the Man of Steel! Matt Storm joins us again to talk about music inspired by Superman!

The "Friend of All Pods", Dan Purcell, and Matt Storm aka Stormageddon are here to talk about the musical themes of Superman. Check out the discussion!

To talk about J. Michael Straczynski's take on a realistic Superman origin… the optimistic one that is… Case and Jmike are joined by Keith and Josue from "We Have Issues"!

If there's one thing that the "Big 2" have in common, it's that they both believe that one popular event deserves another! Mitch is back to talk with us about the second round of Amalgam Comics! Do these surpass their predecessors or was the well running dry already? Tune in to find out!

Mitch Punpayuk is back to look at the 90s DC vs. Marvel (or is it Marvel vs. DC?) crossover and the ensuing Amalgam event where all of the characters of the big two were merged together!

Before we look to more modern incarnations of the Man of Tomorrow, let's stop and look at the story that started it all: Action Comics #1. For this chat, we're joined by Adam from "Talking Superman"!

We continue our brush with the formative years of super hero fiction, this time looking on the deconstructionist retrospective work from James Robinson and Paul Smith! Zach Herring joins Case and Jmike to look back at The Golden Age!

From the "Science… Sort Of" and "iFanboy" podcasts, Ryan Haupt joins Case and Jmike for a discussion about the novel that asks "What was Superman up to prior to Action Comics #1?" From dust bowl Kansas to Tinsel Town's Golden Age and beyond, the three tackle what shapes a boy into a super man!

We're back with more of the radio show, but this time we're joined by Adam Lance Garcia and Steele Filipek, creators of the Green Lama audio drama! This time we're looking at the second team up of Superman and Batman EVER (and the first is lost to time)!

Stupid Sexy Superman!

Case, Jmike, and special guest J.D. Martin breeze through Grant Morrison's fairwell to DC, Superman and the Authority, like it's nothing at all! Nothing At All! NOTHING AT ALL!

When this show was still figuring out a format, Case just assumed we'd be getting to John Byrne's era. Well, now, 4 years in, that's finally true! Join Case, Jmike, and special guest Frank Hernandez for a talk about the definitive Superman origin, until it wasn't.

As part of the #DarkKnightFortnight we're talking about "the one where Superman's Batman", you know the one! Yeah! That one! Speeding Bullets, by J. M. DeMatteis and Eduardo Barreto. To have that conversation, we're joined by Zack Magee from the S.H.U. Podcast.

Take a look back at the formative years of the Man of Tomorrow, as JD and Angela join Case and Jmike for a chat about Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale's landmark series, Superman For All Seasons!

Eternals is finally streaming and Case and Jmike's opinions aren't of a uni-mind, so to arbitrate this discussion we have CeeJay on from Below Freezing!

Many have asked "Must there be a Superman?", but Alan Davis explored what the DC Universe would be like if the Man of Steel never showed up! Case and Jmike are joined by Jonah Gregory from the Inks and Issues podcast for a chat about this classic Elseworlds!

We are joined by Neil Gaiman experts, J.D. Martin and Angela "Bones" Bullock, from the "Fables & Reflections" podcast to talk about the unfinished arc of Miracleman by the bard of comics himself.

Dream of Flying with Alex, Jmike, and Case! They're taking a look at the incredibly influential early 80's story, whether they call it Marvelman or Miracleman! So whisper "Kimota" and join the Red Kings in Olympus!

Before their redefining run on Guardians of the Galaxy, Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning envisioned a future that was both optimistic and desperate in Legion Lost. To discuss this shot in the arm to counter the late 90s ennui that had beset The Legion Of Superheroes, Case and Jmike are joined by former Legion artist, Chris Batista. Come. Gush. Unlax. Because… Grife… this nass is sprocking dope!

Time keeps on slippin' slippin' into the future, but DC comics in the 80s wouldn't have that! So in the wake of Crisis on Infinite Earths, it was decided to sequester the Legion of Superheroes from their history with a Superboy who no longer existed. Alan Kistler joins Case and Jmike to look at John Byrne and Paul Levitz's attempt to reconcile a convoluted reboot… with more convolution! Did they succeed? No, but it's still worth checking out!

Their cry may be "Long Live The Legion!", but can even The Legion of Superheroes survive The Great Darkness Saga? Duke joins Jmike and Case to dig into this classic story!

We are joined by prolific voice actor, Yuri Lowenthal, to talk voicing the Man of Steel and other iconic roles!
