Host Christopher Meadows and new co-host Mateo Berman-Sample begin the semester with a new theme: superhero movies! Each episode, the two will delve into the various film adaptations of a comic book hero, comparing the visions of respective directors and portrayals by different actors. In this episode, Meadows and Berman-Sample break down the universal hope and humanity of Superman in "Superman" (1978), "Man of Steel" (2013), and "Superman" (2025).

“Justice League” gives each of the primary characters enough screen time to justify their presence in the film.
