The Man of Screen Podcast Episode 49 – The Adventures of Superman: The Unlucky Number/The Big Freeze

In episode 49 of The Man of Screen podcast, Mike Zummo is once again joined by Bob Fisher for two very good episodes of The Adventures of Superman.

First its time for a contest, a jellybean counting contest. Dont you love jellybeans? Clark enjoys counting them and making dreams come true for little old ladies. Does her dream come true? Well, the show never really tells us.

Is the contest crooked? You bet that raffle ticket you bought it is, and why does this random kid with big ears believe his grandmothers tenant is Superman?

You can just shoot through the closet door as we reveal “The Unlucky Number.”

Then, lets get POLITICAL!. And well try to solve the mystery of the whereabouts of Supermans white suit. Well. One out of two isnt bad.

Watch as a pair of criminals try to rig the Metropolis mayoral election using an impossibly cold chamber and some voter fraud tactics, which bear an alarming similarity to reality.

But why has Superman been turned into an albino and what is he going to do about it?

Dont know? Come along for “The Big Freeze”.

Next time: Perry White takes up science in “Peril By Sea” and we meet Professor Pepperwinkle in “Topsy Turvy”.
