In episode 68 of the Man of Screen podcast, Mike Zummo and Bob Fisher reach the end of a journey and its not without its bittersweet moments as they cover the final two episodes of The Adventures of Superman.
First, the boys will take you through one of the best color episodes of the series as a group of criminals wearing lead masks terrorize the Daily Planet staff. Who gets lowered into a vat of acid? Who goes rolling into a buzzsaw and who is tied to the railroad tracks?
You wont want to miss what happens when the steering wheel comes off in Jimmys hands. And what do the criminals know? Or think they know?
Come, as we chronicle “The Perils of Superman”.
And then its time for a finale. A golden finale. As Prof. J.J. Pepperwinkle returns with gold that hes made. And it will create an economic disaster and destroy the market as we know it.
The Daily Planet staff is sworn to secrecy, but who blabs? How do criminals find out about the gold-makign machine and what can Lois and Jimmy now do that a banker previously thought only Superman could do?
Grab all the necessary ingredients as Mike and Bob finish the series with “All That Glitters”.
