🎙️ Fused Film Podcast – Where Insight Meets Emotion in Movie Culture

In this episode, we tackle the billion-dollar question:

Did Superman (2025) actually save the DCU… or just stop the bleeding?

We break down:

• Superman’s opening weekend and second-week drop
• What the marketing did right — and what it didn’t
• James Gunn’s vision: grounded or playing it too safe?
• The legacy match-up: Iron Man (2008) vs Superman (2025)

• 
  
• Our litmus test: Were fans rewarded? Were new fans created?
• 
  
• This isn’t just a review. It’s a full deep dive into how this film fits into the larger DC narrative — and what it means for the future of the franchise.

  📼 The fans speak. The system breaks. The movies live on.

The rise of streaming gave us access and convenience—but it lost the ritual, ownership, and rewatch culture that made VHS/DVD magical. It’s hurting audiences and the industry.

In episode 2 of season 3 of Fused Film—the podcast where the fans speak. Host, Kevin Coll, unpacks one of the biggest shifts in movie history: how streaming became our new VHS... but somehow lost its soul.

Remember the ritual of walking into Blockbuster, grabbing a candy, arguing over what to rent? Today, we hit "play" on Netflix... and forget half of what we watched.

But this isn’t just nostalgia. It’s economics. It’s behavior. It’s about how an industry pivoted—from rewatchable magic to algorithmic noise—and why that shift could be costing more than we think.

Let’s rewind.

🎬 Fused Film is where nostalgia meets now. Hosted by Kevin Coll, this podcast rewinds the golden era of VHS, reexamines modern streaming, and asks what makes movies matter—then and now. Through reboots, revivals, and deep dives, we explore how films shape our memories, our culture, and our future. From Blockbuster Fridays to Disney+ drops, Fused Film is for fans who still believe movies aren’t just content—they’re connection.
