AwardsWatch Podcast Ep. 295 – Reviewing James Gunn’s ‘Superman’

On episode 295 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson and AwardsWatch contributor Griffin Schiller to review the latest film from director James Gunn, Superman, starring David Corenswet as the Last Son of Krypton (and Clark Kent, of course), Rachel Brosnahan as intrepid reporter Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as evil real estate tycoon turned government-overthrowing villain Lex Luthor. Mild spoilers, so see the movie first.

You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music, YouTube and more.

This podcast runs 1h38m. We will be back in next week for an Oscar retrospective on the 48th Academy Awards and the films of 1975. Till then, let’s get into it.

Music: “Modern Fashion” from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).
