Fake Superman Fans

Send us a message Superman has landed, and the reactions are anything but unified. In this passionate, unfiltered episode, Joe flies solo to deliver his unvarnished take on James Gunn"s new Superman film and the surprisingly divisive fan response it"s generating. Cutting through the noise of social media criticism, Joe makes a compelling case that much of the backlash comes not from the film"s actual content, but from certain fans" inability to let go of past iterations. Drawing parallels between accepting change in superhero franchises and dealing with loss in real life, he explores how our relationship with fictional characters often reveals deeper psychological patterns. The episode takes fascinating detours into fan psychology, examining how yesterday"s critics of Zach Snyder have transformed into his most vocal defenders, and how social media amplifies performative disappointment. Joe shares memorable anecdotes from his theater experience and dissects the strange phenomenon of fans who build up massive expectations only to dramatically reject the final product. What emerges is more than just a movie review—it"s a thoughtful meditation on fandom culture, nostalgia, and the surprising difficulty many have with embracing new interpretations of beloved characters. Whether you"re excited about the new Superman or skeptical about its direction, this episode offers a refreshingly honest perspective that challenges listeners to examine their own relationship with change, both in entertainment and beyond.
