All Star Superfan Podcast - Page 6

Alan and Rob are honored and delighted to be joined by one of the most celebrated Superman writers EVER — Mark Waid, co-creator of stories such as “Kingdom Come,” “Superman Birthright,” as well as iconic runs on The Flash, Captain America, Daredevil and so much more. 

Alan and Rob take a fond look back at the charming-but-daft Supergirl movie from 1984 with legendary Superfan (and webmaster of Supermania.com) Martin Lakin, a true gentleman and a man whose depth of knowledge and appreciation for the Christopher Reeve Superman films is as vast as all the stars in the 28 known galaxies.  

You might believe a man can push an asteroid! Rob and Alan complete their journey through the stars as they explore two more episodes based on the classic “Menace from the Stars” comic — an episode of “Superboy” that somehow manages to crowbar in death cults and an episode of “Lois & Clark” that features some of the most breathtaking flying effects in the history of the character (no it doesn’t).

Rob and Alan explore the the comic book story “The Menace from the Stars” and its three live action adaptations, all of which follow an amnesiac Superman as an asteroid threatens to wipe out all life on Earth.

Alan and Rob give their spoiler-filled thoughts on the first season of “Superman & Lois” in a fun-filled discussion of one of the best modern interpretations of the character in a long time.

On this week’s exciting episode, Rob and Alan are joined by YouTube legend and Superman expert Oliver Harper to get his thoughts on all things Man of Steel — we discuss the Superman movies, Superman music, TV shows and get Oliver’s thoughts on both “Superman & Lois” and the recent Superman movie news.

In this mini special hosts Rob and Alan pay tribute to iconic director and Superman legend Richard Donner, who died on July 5, 2021.
