&lt;p&gt;This is a very Superman-heavy episode of P-Saps... so much news has been dropping about James Gunn's upcoming SUPERMAN (previously titled SUPERMAN: LEGACY) that it's hard to keep up with, and we couldn't be more excited. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Lots of other stuff to talk about as well..&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;SUPERGIRL casting news&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;SUPERMAN casting and plot speculation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Why a Superman "Elseworlds" story set during WWII is probably not a good idea&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What TED LASSO might have in common with James Gunn's Superman&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;STOP MAKING SENSE Collector's 4K Blu-Ray announcement&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;RIP Carl Weathers and Marty Krofft&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;THE GREATEST NIGHT IN POP (Netflix documentary)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Brendan Recommendans: POOR THINGS and MONSIEUR SPADE&lt;/li&gt;
