While we are happy to discuss the impact of this still underrated gem, both on the comic source and superhero movies in-general, no uphill iceskating will be attempted.

It's our intrepid detectives longest episode yet! But can near-2 hours of talking contain all this discussion about heavy topics like civil rights, metaphor, and LIFE FORCE??

Note: I credit John Byrne with a couple of major plotpoints and character changes in X-Men when, in fact, it was Chris Claremont all the way!

Out of the gate and with fantastic sound quality, it's episode 2! Will Liz and Corey do the Batdance? Will they be able to get over the insufferable Alexander Knox's '80s guy attitude? Will Bob the Goon's Super Kicking Action win their hearts? Listen and find out!

Our pilot episode tackles the Richard Donner classic "Superman" from 1978. Through some minor audio issues, we discuss the themes of immigration, secret identity, and the social issues of the time that impacted the making of the movie. We also delve into what was going on in Superman's comics in the '70s and make plenty of room for talk about the vast amounts of ACTING on-display in the film, as well as the ways the music enhances every frame of the film.

A brief trailer of the Comics Detective Podcast's upcoming episodes covering "Superman" (1978) and "Batman" (1989).
