Missing Real with Mike D'Arrigo
Great movies take their place in history, but what about all the "turkeys" and disastrous flops littering the vast cinematic cesspool? If you really love movies, then what does it matter if a particular film won eight Oscars or eight Razzies? Sometimes over-the-top hammy acting, laughably choreographed fight sequences and rubber monster FX outdo even the most lavish productions in the Academy Awards echelon. So, whether it's an unsurpassed masterpiece or a piece of something else, every movie I talk about in this podcast is near and dear to my heart. Some you will know well, some you'd be well off never knowing at all, at least until hearing just how enjoyably awful they are, so plug in those earbuds or don your expensive blingy Beats, and let's take a trip to the movies!

Episode 5
Aw, what have you done, Gunn?!? Superman is supposed to be impervious to bullets, but somehow you've managed to shoot down the greatest superhero in the world! From another world! Of the various iterations of the Man of Steel, this latest one's more of a little tin god. At least he's got a dog, who basically steals the movie. I went into it with an open mind, I left it mindless. What went wrong??? Here to help answer that burning question is my very own cinematic Justice League of David Franklin and Dave Chan. Have a listen to our nerdy but sensible breakdown of all things super. Apologies to James Gunn, but watch out: this movie's about to be Krapt-on!
