What does James Gunn’s Superman mean to the generation that grew up with Christopher Reeve, dog-eared comics, and visits to the birthplace of the Man of Steel? 🦸♂️ Jimmy Palmquist is joined by special guest Jason Applegate from MI Geek Easy for a nostalgic, nerdy, and no-holds-barred Gen X deep dive into the newest Superman movie.
