Batman v Superman Part 1 (Feat. Michael Shanks)

Batman v Superman Part 1 (Feat. Michael Shanks)

Author: Sanspants Radio April 29, 2016 Duration: 1:37:48

In which our heroes cowl up, put their underwear on the outside and cram in as much foreshadowing for the future as they can for part 1 of the Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice Movie Maintenance. We give Zack Snyder his due, blame Christopher Nolan and would kill for a bit of good old fashioned boy-scout morality in our superheroes. Zammit doesn't get why Batman is a precog, Gabe didn't know or care who the Flash was and special guest Michael Shanks just thinks kids deserve a better Superman. So sit back and get lifted up by bats into the light as we fix BvS: DoJ. Or at least half of it.

Ever watch a movie and find yourself mentally rewriting the third act, or wondering how a promising idea went so wrong? That’s the exact spirit of Movie Maintenance, a podcast from Sanspants Radio that dives into the world of cinema with a uniquely hands-on approach. Think of it as a workshop for films, where each episode picks apart a Hollywood hit or miss-not just to critique, but to actively rebuild. The hosts operate from a playful yet passionate conviction: they can do it better. What you’ll hear is a lively blend of scene-by-scene review, speculative fan fiction, and what they call ‘armchair producing,’ as they brainstorm alternative plots, characters, and endings. It’s less about simply pointing out flaws and more about the creative fun of fixing them, whether the film is a beloved classic or a notorious flop. This podcast is for anyone who loves talking about movies beyond a simple thumbs up or down, offering a space where passionate film discussion meets imaginative problem-solving. So if you’ve ever shouted at the screen with a better idea, you’ll find a kindred spirit here.
