Superman might be faster than a speeding bullet, but even the Man of Steel has bad days. In this episode of Epilogues & Epiphanies, Lyndsey McPherson sits down with musician, podcaster, and Superman super-fan Rick Lee James to unpack DC Comics and James Gunn's newest Superman movie.
We talk about what happens when the world’s most aspirational hero actually struggles—emotionally, physically, and even spiritually—and why that makes him more relatable than ever. From Lex Luthor’s jealousy complex to Lois Lane refusing to play damsel in distress, from punk rock lyrics that become Superman’s battle cry (“hope is his punk rock”) to the squirrel-saving scene that proves character really is in the little things—we go deep into what this story is really about: choosing hope, kindness, and doing the right thing even on your worst day.
If you’ve ever wondered why Superman still matters in a world obsessed with pirates and anti-heroes, or why the most “alien” character might be the most human of us all, this conversation will hit home.
🎧 Tune in for comic book geekery, spiritual insights, and a reminder that sometimes the bravest thing you can do is keep believing the best in people—even when it feels like punk rock to do it.
