This week on The Reel Study, we’re taking flight with a double feature that flips the Superman mythos on its head. First, we dive into Brightburn (2019), a chilling reimagining of what might happen if a super-powered being used his gifts for destruction instead of hope. Then, we look ahead to Superman (2025), James Gunn’s highly anticipated reboot that promises to set a bold new direction for the Man of Steel.

We’re also joined once again by our friend Will Wilkins (Netheads Podcast, CTO of Kevin Smith’s SModCo).
