Psyber-Conversations

In this episode of Psyber Conversations, we dive into Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and unpack why this 2016 film remains one of the most polarizing entries in the DCEU. From the gritty tone and Superman’s controversial characterization to Ben Affleck’s older, jaded Batman, we explore what worked, what missed the mark, and how it all compares to the comics and past Superman films. We also debate casting choices, from Amy Adams’ Lois Lane to Jesse Eisenberg’s divisive Lex Luthor, and look at how the movie set the stage for the rest of the Snyderverse.

In Part 2 of our Man of Steel discussion, we continue exploring the film’s grounded tone, Superman’s morality, and the lasting debate around the Metropolis battle. We also look at how the darker tone of the Snyderverse took shape and dive into Hans Zimmer’s unforgettable score that redefined Superman’s sound for a new generation.

In this episode, we unpack Man of Steel as we look at its darker, more grounded tone compared to earlier Superman films. We dive into the massive Metropolis battle that split audiences, explore Superman’s reimagined morality, and discuss his struggle with identity and heroism. We also look at Zack Snyder’s distinctive visual style and how it shaped the film’s bold, mythic feel. Whether you loved it or left questioning it, this conversation explores why Man of Steel remains one of the most debated superhero films of its era.

Welcome to Psyber-Conversations. Today, we finish our discussion of The Rise of Skywalker and with that, the end of the mainline Skywalker saga of Star Wars. We discuss Ben Solo's redemption, the final fight between Ben Solo and the Knights of Ren, the resolution of the Resistance's fight against the First Order, and Rey's return to Tattooine.

We welcome any comments, as long as they are respectful.  We would really like to hear if you would like us to come back to the Star Wars series, by examining all of the media from the Skywalker period of the story (starting with Tales of the Jedi and continuing through Ahsoka), or if you would prefer we begin to tackle the Star Trek juggernaut.

Next week, Bob will return and we will begin talking about the DCEU, beginning with Man of Steel, released in 2013.

Welcome to Psyber-Conversations! Today, Vern and Josh begin their conversation about the Rise of Skywalker. We had a great time dissecting this movie, despite our vast differences of opinions.

We also discussed our different views on how we rate movies, personally. Please click on like and subscribe and enjoy the show!

Welcome to Psyber-Conversations! Today, we finally finish talking about The Last Jedi. Some of the topics we speak of is Han's dice, Luke's battle with Kylo Ren, and the implications of the child at the end of the movie having a connection to the Force. This conversation did cause us to raise our voices several times, but we were still able to disagree respectfully. We conceded several different points about the other's point of view. Both us felt like we learned something about the movie and both of us brought up thoughtful points which we hadn't considered previously.  Please like and subscribe and leave a comment, if you have anything to bring to our conversation (respectfully).
