  "Say Jim! That's a bad outfit! Whooooaa!" From George Reeves’ classic TV look, to Christopher Reeve’s timeless movie costume, through to the modern designs worn by Brandon Routh, Henry Cavill, and Tyler Hoechlin, we are diving deep into the evolution of one of the most important aspects of the Man of Steel myth, the suit itself! This week Rob and Alan are joined by Rob’s old friend and Superman expert Parker Johnson for the first episode of a two-part special where we discuss and rank every live-action Superman suit put to screen. Which designs stand the test of time? Which ones took bold risks? And how have these costumes reflected the changing times and changing interpretations of Superman himself?

• #63 - ABSOLUTE SUPERMAN Issues 1-5 Spoiler Review, PLUS: Rise of The Super 7!

  Alan and Rob discuss the acclaimed 'ABSOLUTE SUPERMAN' series by DC! How does this new alternate version of Superman's origin compare against other beloved versions? Does Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval's darker interpretation gel with our sensibilities?  Later, we discuss a lost gem from the blessed decade of the 1990s "Rise of the Super Seven", a gloriously silly, over-the-top Elseworlds story that seems to harness every 'extreme' 1990s comic cliche you can imagine - leather jackets, pouches, ripped jeans, earrings and Alien ripoffs! Rob also points out how this story may have inspired some of the legendary Kenner figures of that decade.  PLUS! Alan and Rob head to the Metropolis mailbag to listen to YOUR correspondence!

• #62 - The Weird Ireland Episode of Lois & Clark - St Patrick's Day Special!

  A St. Patrick’s Day Celebration with Lois & Clark!  Top of the morning to you, Superfans! In honour of St. Patrick’s Day, here's an episode of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman that'll have you saying “Bejaysus!”…Season 3’s infamous "When Irish Eyes Are Killing". Joining us for the occasion are two of the best in the Superman podcasting world, Zach Moore of Always Hold On To Smallville and Matt Truex of Lois & Clark’d: The New Podcasts of Superman!  Together, we break down this magically questionable yet delightfully chaotic episode where Lois is endangered by a roguish Irish Druidic sorcerer with an agenda as shaky as his accent. But that’s not all! As a proud Irishman, Alan takes this opportunity to chat about Irish culture and because we just couldn’t resist we put Zach and Matt to the test with an Irish Culture Quiz!  Will they pass with flying green colours or will be left feeling stranded in the Phantom Zone?  It’s an episode packed with laughs, lore, and Lois & Clark lunacy so grab a pint of the black stuff, kick back and join us for a celebration of the home country and Superman!
