Superman, Smallville Memories, & Now You See Me (Not Again) | Cultpop Podcast

Originally recorded on 7/16/25!

Cultpop Back-Issue! The gang’s flying high (cape optional) with Superman talk, nostalgia, and a few questionable magic tricks.

In this episode:
🦸 Superman Legacy — first impressions of James Gunn’s reboot, what works, what doesn’t, and why Superman still makes us feel things.
📺 Smallville Flashbacks — Lana’s kryptonite necklace, Rosenbaum’s Lex, freak-of-the-week villains, and whether the show holds up today.
🎩 Now You See Me (and its sequel) — slick heists, sleight of hand, and why “movie magic” doesn’t mean CGI should replace illusions.
🍿 Plus: Lois & Clark memories, Terry Hatcher crushes, Nolan’s Odyssey hype, and the eternal hope of comic adaptations done right.

Drop your hot take: Who’s your Superman? Reeve, Routh, Cavill, Welling, or Cornswet?
