1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 1: Great the flick with Ben Rishe alrighty, Bennet's finally here

2
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: the new Superman movie flies into cinemas today. Was David

3
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 1: corn Sweat convincing as the new Man of Steel?

4
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, look, it's a great question, Smiley. I think this

5
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: film arrives with huge expectations, not just for DC Studios,

6
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 2: but for the superhero genre because there's been a few

7
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:35,519
Speaker 2: stumbles at the box office recently, films that were expected

8
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 2: to make a lot of money absolutely bombed, and so

9
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: it's an interesting time for this type of movie. And

10
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: now long comes David Currn Sweat, And I think a

11
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 2: lot of people probably watch the trailer and go jeez.

12
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 2: Compared to Henry Cavell. Henry Cavill looks like Superman, He's chiseled,

13
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 2: looks like he's made of marble. David corn Sweat maybe

14
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: not quite as impressive a specimen, So I think people

15
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:00,640
Speaker 2: had some doubts about that. I think people watch the

16
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,960
Speaker 2: trailer maybe had some doubts about all of the characters

17
00:01:04,360 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: that appeared in the trailer, many of whom I think

18
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 2: a lot of the mainstream audience members would not be

19
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: familiar with. Characters like Hawk Girl, Metamorpho, the Engineer. These

20
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,000
Speaker 2: are comic book characters from the fringe, so you have

21
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: to be a real diehard comic book nut to be

22
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 2: familiar with any of them. So the trailer did seem

23
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 2: like it was a bit of a muddled mess.

24
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's talk Rachel Brosnahan. Lois Lane is such a

25
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,039
Speaker 1: iconic role. Did she know us well?

26
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: So this is the thing. So again people might have

27
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: thought compared to some lowest lanes of the past, Terry Hatcher,

28
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 2: of course from the TV version, was iconic, and people

29
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 2: might have thought like, I don't really, I'm not really

30
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 2: familiar with Rachel Brosnahan and the combination of her and

31
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: David Cornsweat. You've got two relative unknowns right in the

32
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: two most important roles. But I can let everybody know,

33
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: you can relax. The film is actually pretty dang good.

34
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: It's enjoyable from start to finish. David corn Sweat, I

35
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: would say, is the best Superman since Christopher Ree Wow.

36
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 2: And I would say that this movie is the best

37
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: Superman movie. Who Superman two back in nineteen eighty one.

38
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 2: Big of course, of course, Miley, it sounds like a

39
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 2: big call. It's actually a pretty low bar to clear,

40
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: because if you actually go back and look at Superman three,

41
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: Superman four, Superman four was one of the all time

42
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 2: worst movies, and then Superman Returns in the last sort

43
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,679
Speaker 2: of ten years was also not great. All of the

44
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 2: Justice League movies with Zack Schneider also not amazing. So

45
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 2: most of the Superman movies have actually been pretty ordinary

46
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 2: and this one comes along. It's fun that doesn't take

47
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 2: yourself too seriously. All of the characters managed to get

48
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 2: adequate screen time. Lex Luthor played by Nicholas Holt best

49
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 2: Lex Luthor since Gene Hackman. I'm just putting it out there.

50
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: Wow and well being. I had to ask, did super

51
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: Dog Crypto steal the show?

52
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:58,360
Speaker 2: Oh? Yeah? Like the two scene stealers are actually Crypto

53
00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 2: the super Dog and Nathan Fillion, who play who people

54
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 2: might be familiar with from the Rookie. He plays the

55
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 2: Green Lantern and now Ryan Reynolds tried to make the

56
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 2: Green Lantern a thing. That film was a huge bomb

57
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 2: at the box office. Nathan Fillion is hilarious as the

58
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 2: Green Lantern. He and Crypto steal every scene that they're in.

59
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: Nicholas Halters is also an amazing villain. So this is

60
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 2: a film I think people will go along and really enjoy.

61
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 2: It's not the sort of dark superhero movies that we're

62
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: used to from DC Studios. This is a lot more

63
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 2: like a Marvel movie. And in fact, the director, James Gunn,

64
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,639
Speaker 2: is the guy behind the Guardians of the Galaxy franchise.

65
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: This film feels a lot like those movies.

66
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: And we here Will Reeve, the son of the late

67
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: Christopher Reeve, makes a cameo.

68
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, blink and you'll miss it, but he does get

69
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 2: a little cameo in there, which I think is a

70
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 2: very sweet touch. James Gunn, the director, you know, he's

71
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: a real comic book tragic and he loves this type

72
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: of material, so he takes a very sort of loving

73
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: approach to it and takes any opportunity you can to

74
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: give a little tip of the hat to the Christopher

75
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 2: Reeve in that Will Reeves cameo, and also the comic

76
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 2: book characters and all of those great moments that people

77
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 2: love from the Superman franchise.

78
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: That special alrighty Ben, for the time of the Big One,

79
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: how many chok tops out of five are you're giving

80
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: the new Superman? And is it worth lying into the ciner.

81
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,159
Speaker 2: Before absolutely get get there faster than a speeding bullet.

82
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 1: I'm going to give this one three and a half

83
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: three and a half chock top. Sounds like Superman is

84
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,920
Speaker 1: in good hands. Thanks Ben, always a pleasure. We'll catch

85
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: you next week.

86
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:26,799
Speaker 2: Thanks Marlei
