The hosts of the Cinephile Hissy Fit podcast, sponsored and supported by the Ruminations Radio Network, arrive at James Gunn’s Superman from different places. The slightly-younger Will Johnson is the recovering Marvel Shill and proud dog owner. The more senior Don Shanahan used to run around his Midwestern childhood home with his underwear on the outside of his pajamas and a blankie tucked in his shirt, dreaming of Christopher Reeve. Talk about being raised differently. Take a guess how this podcast on the new summer movie sensation will turn out.

For their 204th episode, two heroic film critics, two hopeful dads, and two cape-wearing teachers, Will and Don, vault their podcast up in the sky to address the hotly anticipated and hot button summer blockbuster, Superman, directed by James Gunn and starring David Corenswet in the tights and spectacles and Nicholas Hoult as the classic bald villain Lex Luthor. Coming together from different fandoms and backgrounds, our hosts are unafraid to celebrate the movie and address the so-called controversies. Come learn more and stay for the mutual love and respect that fun movies encapsulate. Enjoy our podcast!
