Celebrating Superman with Mark Waid

To celebrate the release of James Gunn's SUPERMAN on July 11th, Shawn is kicking off a new podcasting project under the Missing Frames: Between Takes umbrella: CELEBRATING SUPERMAN. In the weeks and months leading up to the film's release, Shawn will be interviewing Superman writers, artists, filmmakers, artists, fans, etc. to celebrate the greatest superhero of all time. The first guest of this Celebrating Superman series is none other than legendary comic book writer MARK WAID. In the course of his incredible career, Mark has written over 2,000 comics, including one of Shawn's absolute favorite Superman stories: SUPERMAN: BIRTHRIGHT. During the conversation, Shawn and Mark discuss how Mark became a Superman fan, the DC editor who disliked Birthright so much he decided it was no longer the canonical Superman origin story, and the moment in the new trailer that made them both cry. They also discuss Mark's projects, both old and new, including Shawn's love for his WORLD'S FINEST fun and an update on THE LAST DAYS OF LEX LUTHOR.

Some of our least favorite movie endings and how we would punch them up We've all been there where we see a movie and it's going great and you get to the end and it just dies hard. Sometimes the credits roll and you hear yourself say out loud, "That's it!?" On this week's Punch It, we discuss that very occasion. We talk about all types of movies from those with muppets to movies with demons, suicide, and sex. Bad endings aren't just in one genre but across the board. What movie endings make you go crazy?

265 - Pop Pop Jellico

Fatherhood in Trek In recognition of the recent Father's Day holiday, the trio examine the dads in Trek - both the characters who were actual dads and the ones who had parental (or grandparental) qualities. Which Trek dad would you like to have taken you to a ballgame? Or have an adventure with? Which Trek dads would take part in the local Starfleet branch of a dad's group, and what would they talk about? And does Captain Jellico being a loving granddad make up for his being an ornery captain? Let us know your favorite Trek dad!

Wing of King Arthur - 150 - Excalibur

"Excalibur" is a mixed bag, a film that combines visual splendor with uneven performances and a somewhat inconsistent tone. While it may not be a flawless masterpiece, it remains a must-see for fans of Arthurian legend and epic fantasy. Its timeless appeal and influence on the genre make it a classic worth experiencing, flaws and all. Whether you're drawn to the mysticism of Merlin or the heroic journey of Arthur, "Excalibur" has something to offer any lover of fantasy cinema.

Mike Versus The Lion King

This week in 1994 saw the release of two films. Wyatt Earp, the second biopic in six months about the legendary lawman best known now for the shootout at the OK Corral. Starring Kevin Costner, with a supporting cast including Michael Madsen, Tom Sizemore, Bill Pullman, Tea Leoni, Catherine O'Hara, Gene Hackman, Isabella Rosellini, JoBeth Williams, Jeff Fahey, and a physically-transformed Dennis Quaid as Doc Holliday, this epic was directed and co-written by the legendary Lawrence Kasdan. Does it hold up? The other film released went on to become a beloved classic that cemented Disney's revival as an animation powerhouse known for regularly releasing smash success stories embraced by audiences young and old. Except for Mike, who doesn't really care for The Lion King.
