This isn't a movie review podcast. Here we look at the cultural significance of what I call "white movies". Some of you may ask what is a white movie? Most American made movies are white movies. Made for and by white people. If you have trouble with that just think about what you would call a Black movie and why and then reverse it. White culture is so often overlooked, but movies are an artform that reflects culture and peoples thoughts and feelings about life. So what are these white movies saying about life and the people in America? That's what we're here to investigate.

Man of Steel brought out some deep seated truths!
We talk about heroes and the nature of heroism. We question Zach Synder's interpretation while recognizing the things he's great at, iconography, visuals, great individual moments and a truly epic scale.
Man Of Steel tells the story of Kah-el becoming the hero we know as Superman.
Listen in as we break down the run time, the true nature of Superman (to us, at least), what we would have like to have seen or done differently and if the movie asks us to fill in the blanks where we don't want to and answers questions that we don't ask!
Also, does Superman have a secret identity? Does he need one in Zach Snyder's Universe?
Oh, and we love Amy Adams!
