Episode 556 - Geeking With Karen Bee – Back To The Beginning and Superman

In this episode, we dive deep into Ozzy Osbourne’s “Back to the Beginning” final concert and discuss whether Sammy Hagar was the low point of the show.

Do the old Marvel movies still hold up, or were they just great at the time? We debate how the newer films lean too heavily on cheap pops and flashy money shots. Falcon and The Winter Soldier has aged well, but its follow-ups felt forced.

We also get into She-HulkDaredevilThunderbolts, and Captain America: New World Order, with a special focus on Ironheart's mishandling by Disney and whether her appearance in Wakanda Forever was a misstep.

We revisit how some older CGI still holds up better than today’s, and compare it to the over-reliance on CGI in modern films.  

Finally, we round things off with a look at the new Superman movie, highlighting all the things it got right — from casting, tone, and hopefulness to Lex Luthor, Krypto, and the Daily Planet. A must-listen for fans of both classic and contemporary superhero stories!

Sean McGinity

Hi, I am Sean "SeanGeek" McGinity. And I am a geek. For me, the definition of the word geek comes from liking something so much, that I deep dive into it. Not just consuming it... but becoming it. I "geek out". Everything started with comics. I read them and studied them with a fine eye, and then started making my own. Since then, I have "geeked out" on movies (Star Wars The Evil WIthin, Hurt), music writing, recording, and performing (The Classic Embers and Dome), writing (the Symka comic and the upcoming Intuitives novel), and now... this Podcast.

Hey guys, SeanGeek here. Just to be clear, this is me geeking out on Todd "FastFretFingers" McGinity here. Todd is the GOAT. My brother is an established musician, mastering the Fretboard with a blistering discipline. If there was a guitar style, tone, pitch... Todd would find a way to replicate it. From his early days mastering Van Halen and Rush, his musical palate has expanded with forays into classical and flamenco, hard rock, blues and pop. From live performances to learning the recording process, when it comes to music, he has done it all.
