"What would the world be like without Captain Hook?"

Alan and Rob return after five years in deep space a brief hiatus to talk all about the beloved (depending on what age you are!) holiday classic “Hook” about an older Peter Pan, played by the late great Robin Williams. The lads discuss Williams’ legendary real-life friendship with Christopher Reeve and the film’s many similarities with the legend of Superman. Has the film aged well? Why does Steven Spielberg not care for it? How come Bob Hoskins is so awesome?

PLUS! A bumper catch-up discussion on all the big DC comics and TV shows that have been in the ether while we've been away! We discuss The Penguin, the excellent prose novel “Batman Resurrection” and Rob gives his thoughts on the much talked-about finale of “Superman & Lois”! All this plus plenty of comic book discussion!

STAY TUNED LATER THIS WEEK when we will be BACK to discuss a very anticipated trailer…

"Who is the man you can't ignore, it's SUPERMAN! From Budapest to Baltimore it's SUPERMAN!"

Alan and Rob are joined once again by long-time friend of the show Matt Truex as they delve into the weird and wonderful history of the ill-fated (and yet indestructible) 1966 Broadway musical version of Superman.

Fascinating connections with the Superman movie series! Problematic villains! Questionable deviations from the source material! All of these oddities abound, culminating in what may in fact be the strangest piece of Superman media ever: the 1975 TV special adaptation of the musical! Get ready for some hot takes!

Later, Matt unearths a diamond in the rough - the 2010 Dallas revival of the musical which heavily adapted the original book, creating a brand new story far closer to the Superman legend so near and dear to our hearts. You won't want to miss this!

Be sure to send us any thoughts you have on the Broadway musical, YOUR favourite musicals (superhero or otherwise) or even a voicenote of you belting our your favourite musical numbers!
