Walter Rhein PodcastHow Superman Continues to Be an Enduring Symbol of HopeHello Friends,This was another wonderful talk with a guest that I’ve been excited to have a conversation with for a long time. I know Simon Dillon from his work on Medium. He’s always got insightful comments on movies, and we share the same love for Terry Gilliam’s Time Bandits (1981).We had a wide ranging conversation about the various Superman films and their cultural impact. As always, we tried to make the discussion more about film than politics, but let’s face it, it’s impossible not to talk about politics these days.2025-07-161h 12

Sports' Forgotten Heroes149: Jim Gilliam - MLBJim Gilliam was a terrific infielder for the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers for 17 years. After starting his career in the Negro Leagues, he followed in the footsteps of his idol, Jackie Robinson. Signed by the Dodgers, like Robinson, he was sent to Montreal to play for the Royals. After a few seasons, he found his way to Brooklyn and was named Rookie of the Year in 1953. Gilliam, a favorite of Dodger manager Walter Alston, was called the ultimate team player.

Movie Memory Machine5 For: Don Juan Demarco (1995)In this week’s Movie Memory Machine: Five For mini-episode, Landen and Truman float through five films that, like Don Juan DeMarco, revel in myth-making, larger-than-life stories, and dreamlike quests for meaning. From tall tales spun in German hospitals to grand adventures told through strawberry-eating potheads, they recommend movies that blend fantasy, memory, romance, and the occasional Chaplin impression. Because sometimes life is better when you believe your own legends—even if the pants are optional.

Have You Seen This?151 - Return to OzTim and Jen start spooky season early with a shockingly dark release from Disney, Return to Oz.Jen forgot to mention that the main reason the film does not resembles the MGM film from 1939 apart from the Ruby Slippers™ is because all of the trappings of the MGM version were and are copyrighted. In fact, Disney had to shell out to use that plot device in the film. Hence, while Walter Murch’s desire to make a moive closer in spirit to the L.
