E179: Breaking Down the Box Office: Superman
Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a... metaphor for life after graduation?
Okay, that's a stretch... BUT, the most recent Superman movie does illustrate a number of sentiments that might be appreciated by a brand new grad. Superman feels disconnected, misunderstood, lonely, and out of place. He's questioning his purpose but also has a deep sense of conviction and commitment to a meaningful mission. Can you relate?
Jon's flying solo this week, but he's carrying on with After IV's two-part summer media breakdown series. How is what we're watching and listening to shaping us in life after graduation? And what can we learn from a box office hit like Superman?
