One of the hardest working men in podcasting, Gene Hendricks (The Hammer Podcasts, The Quantum Cast, Anime Freaks) drops by to join Chris and Cindy in discussing the infamous 1974 Wonder Woman TV pilot movie starring Cathy Lee Crosby as a very blonde, very non-traditional, not-quite-Amazon Princess!

Decked out in much different costume, she matches wits with Ricardo Montalban (in a very familiar costume for Fantasy Island fans), an international thief who has stolen some top-secret code books! It’s got tricked out bracelets, non-visible invisible planes, and some of the worst pick-up lines in cinema history! What did Gene think of it? What did Chris and Cindy think of it? Where’s Tattoo when you need him?

Favorite (and only) son Andrew Franklin rejoins his parents, Chris and Cindy to take a look at two, count ‘em, TWO deaths of Superman! No not those two from the comics, two from the heralded DCAU, or the Timmverse, if you prefer!

First up, from Superman: The Animated Series comes “The Late Mr. Kent”. On a mission to save an innocent man on death row, Clark Kent is seemingly killed! How can the still breathing Man of Steel resurrect his alter-ego, and manage to save the innocent man in his final minutes?

Then, it’s time for a trip to the “Hereafter”. This Justice League animated episode features the Superman Revenge Squad finally breaking even…when Toyman kills the Last Son of Krypton. The Earth and the League mourn the loss of their greatest hero, but 30, 000 years in the future, on a world with a red sun, the Man of Tomorrow rises. To return home he must find his lost comrades and team up with…Vandal Savage?

It’s the animated team, and Superman at their finest!
