Fun Can be Profound (and Just Fun) - What the Superman Movie Nails About Storytelling

With my special guest cohost, Sir Estivan (aka, my husband Stephen Ippolito)

In this epic Author Culture episode, Janeen sits down with her husband Stephen Ippolito (superhero super-nerd and cinematic sidekick) to tackle the newest Superman movie—and they’re both psyched and impressed by how much they liked it.

In this fun, nerdy breakdown, they dig into:

  • A Superman portrayal that doesn’t feel flat or forced

  • Why the dog deserves an Oscar (or at least a cape)

  • How the film balances humor, stakes, and humanity

  • Gorgeous cinematography and immersive action

  • How character actions can speak louder than words

If you’re a fan of superhero films, Superman, and combining fun storytelling and action with a great vibe of kindness and humility, tune in!
