Super, Brightburn & My thoughts on the James Gunn DCU (2010, James Gunn, Rainn Wilson, Elliot Page, 2019, David Yarovesky, Elizabeth Banks)

For this week's Episode of the Adam Analyzes Podcast, I took a look at one of my favorite James Gunn directed films, Super. A story about an average guy that goes through emotional tragedy and decides to become a superhero to fight crime...with a wrench! It also appears to be James Gunn's most personal movie with the themes of love and loss.

\n

I also decided to take a quick look back at the David Yarovesky directed, Brightburn, which is a James Gunn produced dark take on the Superman origin story & mythos. It also has a surprising link to the first featured film in this episode, Super. Brightburn also features a few recurring actors from James Gunn's previous and current works.

\n

Finally I decided to weigh in on my thoughts with the current state of DC under the co-leadership of James Gunn, why we may need to wait and see his plans & also why the trend in bullying studios into bending to on-line outcries should probably stop.

\n


\n

Have a listen to find out my thoughts on all of the above and hopefully everyone is having a great start to the new year!!
