In episode 188 of the Man of Screen podcast, Mike Zummo continues his run through Season 3 of the Salkind-produced “The Adventures of Superboy” television show, with two more episodes.

First, were going to see the return of an old foe. One that is seeking help. This time, she lights a fire instead of tearing up the street. But theres also a creature and what are its feelings. Is it a killer, or does it have something else In mind?

Come, let me tell you story of “Neila and the Beast”.

And then, were going to face a problem a little closer to home. Hatred. Bigotry and the damaging effect it has not only on the bigot victim. A Jewish author is going to channel his hatred into a creature. While stamping out bigotry is a noble cause, what happens when the creator loses control of the creation?

When is the cure worse than the disease?

How does on control a “Golem”?

Next time: Were going to experience “A Day in the Life” and then Lex Luthor and Superboy perform a “Bodyswap”.

A weekly podcast in which Mike Zummo chronicles the adventures of Superman in the movies and on TV.
