30something Movie PodcastEpisode #258: "Your journey nears its end" | The Rise of Skywalker D23 TrailerWe couldn't get the band together for an 80s movie discussion this week, but we all know if a Star Wars trailer comes out and John doesn't have a chance to talk about it, he explodes like a womprat being bulls-eyed by a moisture farmer in his T-16 back home. (And they're not much bigger than 2 meters.) Anyway... here's John's take on the D23 sneak peak we got and what it means for the upcoming final installment of the Skywalker saga. Needless to say... SPOILERS and speculation abound.

Now 80 years later Superman has become an integral part of western culture and his influence can be seen across the world. In Part 1 of our homage to the Man of Steel, John talks the character of Superman and the evolution of Superman comics from 1938 to 2018.

Based on the novel of the same name by Bret Easton Ellis (writer of American Psycho), this film follows three friends during the winter break after their high school graduation.
