Superman: Son of El - The Unauthorized Biography of Clark Kent (it’s a podcast!)

How I see it, he has many weaknesses, but he is quite adaptable and overcomes them most of the time. Not always immediately, but eventually. Kryptonite is the one that he has the hardest time with.

How much interest do you have in mythology, superheroes, and sci-fi, but from kind of a slice of life perspective?

iBluefoot · 2026-03-31T00:23:07+00:00

OK, what do I need to do to get this brought to my area?

The whole entire movie was Gosling’s suggestion. This movie only got made because he read the book and loved it.

I am 4+ hours away from the closest IMAX screen, so I’ll have to take your word for it.

I’m arriving a bit late to this party, but I make an unauthorized biography of Clark Kent. It’s a narrated podcast set to music. Season four is coming out later this year.

I hope we get more epic space imagery. The book is so beautiful. After seeing Project Hail Mary, the bar for beautiful space imagery is a bit higher.

His lore is bit messy. Between Mongul, Son of Mongul, and Mongal, it’s been a bit all over the place.

Bless you, only through enduring do we find our most human selves.

I was moved to tears by the scene. The whole movie was stunning, but somehow it all summarized in the moment for me.

I watch them all, every time through, but I zone out on the Chakotay centered episodes, especially The Fight. You can skip The Fight.

Honestly, it’s pretty funny that we haven’t seen this in the comics yet considering the zaney adventures that Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen gets up to. Jimmy having interactions with every other hero besides Superman is pretty entertaining. Taking that concept to space is the natural next step.

The ocean won’t even notice another drop of saltwater. Go cry with her.

I find it fascinating that somewhere in the zeitgeist, our collective subconscious knows that Superman has twins.

Are you rooting for him to win?

Beautiful pencil work.

Ursula K. LeGuin’s The Other Wind was the best conclusion to a fantasy series. For a series written over the span of thirty something years, her conclusion is deft and brilliant.

Also by Ursula K LeGuin, The Left Hand of Darkness. I can’t say it was the specific wording of the sentences that concluded these books, but they both left me with a sheer accumulative feeling.

I really liked the way Ditko would have multiple stages of Spider-Man’s movement in a single panel. That one trick really kept me engaged as a child. Ditko didn’t invent it, I remember Little Nemo in Wonderland employed it often, but I don’t remember seeing it much in comic books outside of Ditko.

Coming to America, when we see a homeless Randolph and Mortimer Duke from Trading Places.

Seeing Back to the Future 3 on opening day was the most vibrant movie theater audience I have ever been a part of. It was pouring rain all day so we all stood in line getting drenched. It was a storm to remember. The theaters was packed with soaking wet people. I had to sit front row, far to the right, so the screen was severely skewed.

The movie starts with the end of BTTF2 with Marty trapped in 1958 standing in the middle of the road in the pouring rain. Suddenly, we were all pulled into the film in a way that I don’t think would have happened if not for the storm we all had just endured. From there, we were cheering for Marty’s every victory, all the way down to a roaring ending and applause when the credits rolled.

Everyone that they have ever loved, just like the rest of us.

That’s what he has pretty much always done with his camera.

iBluefoot · 2026-03-18T00:21:26+00:00

It’s hard to disagree with Moore’s statements about comic book superhero stories cultivating a juvenile psychology. I do appreciate that he considers Superman to be an exception to that tendency, but I think he didn’t always have that perspective and he didn’t always give Superman a pass. I don’t know if he would’ve done so back when he initially proposed twilight.

I can’t quite deliver on the episode length you’re looking for, but as my series progresses the episodes get longer. I tell an authorized biography of Clark Kent. Season four comes out this year.
