Oh Superman - Man of Steel in Turbulent Times

Identity, heroism, and what it means to do good. In this episode, we review the new Superman movie and explore the superhero's symbolic evolution over the years from a Depression-era champion of the oppressed to a modern-day figure wrestling with the public perception of him as an 'alien.' The episode also delves into broader themes of loneliness, heroism, and the complicated idea of the "maverick" making his own decisions without regard for anyone else's point of view.What other movies should we see?We would love to hear from you!
