In episode 177 of the Man of Screen podcast, Mike Zummo continues his run through the second season of the Salkind-produced “Superboy” television series, which aired in syndication from 1988-1992.<\/p>\n
First, were going to take a walk on the mystical side, as if we havent done that enough so far this season. Were going to meet a mysterious man on a motorcycle, bearing a striking resemblance to a detective from Miami.<\/p>\n
He claims to be a doctor and says hes after something called a Prodo as he looks to finish off a family feud.<\/p>\n
But who is “Brimstone”?<\/p>\n
And then, were going to “Meet the Parents”. Superboys parents, that is as Jor-El and Lara, bearing a striking resemblance to Marlon Brando and Susannah York from Superman: The Movie, have arrived to take their boy home?<\/p>\n
Because he was “taken” from Earth?<\/p>\n
Confused yet? Superboy is, too.<\/p>\n
But not confused enough not to “Abandon Earth”.<\/p>\n
Next time: Were going to finish what we started with “Escape to Earth” and then Superboy will find love in “Superstar”.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
