It's a bird! It's a plane! It's an all-new episode of Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast! And it's a DC Comics double feature as Will and Sam take on the very silly Superman III, aka Superman meets Richard Pryor. And if that's not enough, they're also talking about the deeply frustrating and problematic Superman Returns. While the Man of Steel takes on Brainiac (kind of), Bizarro (not really) and Lex Luthor (canceled), the boys discuss the bumpy cinematic journey of the most iconic superhero of all time, question the damage Five for Fighting has done to the Superman brand, and Sam offers his recasting of Superman Returns with the best that 2006 Hollywood has to offer.

Together again! It's a new year and a new season of Podcast Part 3: The Part 3 Podcast, and we're taking the show to Broadway with 1984's The Muppets Take Manhattan, an honestly kind of bland entry in the Muppets pantheon... turns out you need a pretty strong story to make the Muppets work, and failing that you need a Charles Grodin or a Michael Caine to bring the gravitas. Sadly, like Jason Voorhees, the Muppets just simply aren't up to the task of taking Manhattan. But we love them anyway.
