In episode 167 of the Man of Screen Podcast, Mike Zummo reaches his penultimate episode covering Season 1 of “Superboy”, produced by the Salkinds.
First were going to a club and were going to deal with hypnosis because we always need ways to get the punk rock teenagers under control. But were going to have a twist. Were going to have a biker entering the club with a large snake draped around his neck.
Who is this masked man? What is the club owners true motive? What is the scary truth about the “Black Flamingo”?
And then were going to take a trip. A trip back in time. Because Superboy is going to get sucked backwards through time after running into an eccentric scientist. Hes back to the Golden Age of Film, where he will encounter pretty starlets, movie executives and blackmailers.
And what is this starlets connection to Shuster University?
What happens when Superboy visits “Hollywood”?
