227. James Gunn has officially rebooted Superman with Superman (2025), starring David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan and Nicholas Hoult. But has he done enough to win us over - and more importantly, does this mark a turning point for DC?

In this episode of Tailoring Talk, Roberto, Jon and Alex sit down for a full review and spoiler-filled discussion of the film. We dive into how it compares to past Superman versions, what we thought of the casting, the tone, the themes, the action, the emotional weight (or lack of it), and where it leaves the future of the DC Universe.

PLUS: Our final ratings and a few surprise cameos along the way…

226. Ever wanted to eavesdrop on two mates having dinner after a movie? Well, now’s your chance.

In this very unstructured (and very real) episode of Tailoring Talk Magazine, Bobby and Jon hit Le Comptoir Libanais on London’s South Bank after seeing the new Superman at the BFI IMAX. With food arriving mid-record, mocktails in hand, and no Alex to keep them on track, the conversation covers:

🍽️ A totally impromptu food review

🎬 First reactions to Superman

🎮 Bobby’s love affair with the Nintendo Switch 2

📱 iOS 18 & iPhone 17 colour leaks

⌚️ Apple Watch Ultra 3 & health tracking tech

🥙 The mystery of vegan food that tastes like meat

😂 And why dry chicken wings make for great podcast drama

It’s messy, meandering, full of mouthfuls (literally), and somehow still insightful. If you’ve ever debated phone upgrades over baklava or wondered what it’s like to record a podcast mid-meal, this one’s for you.
