This week, it’s a wild ride as we look at the compelling biopic “Wildcat” and the insane Bruceploitation oddity, “Bruce Lee vs. Superman”.
This week, in our new movie spotlight, we look at one author’s struggle to complete her novel.
Flannery O’Connor wrote several stories that used elements of her upbringing. Starring Maya Hawke and directed and written by Ethan Hawke (co-written by Shelby Gaines), Wildcat examines how her life and works were connected.
Maya’s performance as the real-life author is fantastic and includes some real standout moments. That being said, there were some surprising missteps.
Wildcat is in theaters now and not yet streaming.
Then, Bruceploitation Month on the show continues with one of the wilder entries.
Since the birth of the internet, people have asked serious questions. Who would win in a fight between Goku and the Hulk? Could Lancelot best Luke Skywalker in a duel? A/S/L? One of the things young internet denizens argued about was who would win in a one-on-one battle between Bruce Lee and Superman.
As it turns out, a 1975 movie dared to give this match to audiences. It is certainly a risk. Both are incredibly popular, meaning it would be impossible not to anger some viewers. Plus, how could any film possibly live up to what would certainly be sky-high expectations? Worse yet, what if it is a bait and switch?
Bruce Lee vs. Superman (or Bruce Lee Against Superman or Superdragon vs. Superman) is far from a perfect movie — or even a good one — but it presents the fight it advertises.
However, there is more than just the slugfest between the two iconic heroes. Green Hornet, Kato, and possibly the wildest rickshaw scene in cinema history all get involved. It may not be the best Bruceploitation movie, but it is hard to believe there is anything zanier
You can watch Bruce Lee vs Superman (under the title Bruce Lee Against Superman) on Tubi.

Episode 373: ‘Mockbuster’ (2026)
We have spent years talking about how important The Blair Witch Project is. We discuss the pros and cons of the latest reimagining of the iconic found footage classic. And we are definitely interested. Plus, the latest internet horror fad that Hollywood wants to adapt into a movie. And while it does seem a little silly to us, they do have a strong director attached to it.
The Asylum has been putting out grade-A quality B movies for a long time. Sharknado may be their most well-known, but their specialty are mockbusters like Tomb Invader and Top Gunner. We could not wait to take a look at their inner workings.
Mockbuster does much more than that. Sure, there is plenty of footage from The Asylum library. And yes, all of it is amazing. The interviews with the people at the top of the company are also great. They know the score and are funny, entertaining, and informative.
But it is the documentary’s subject that is the beating heart of the film. Anthony Frith is one of the most charming people we have ever seen and we enjoyed watching his journey. Mockbuster ended up being an unexpected feel-good watch thanks to Frith and all of the incredibly supportive people featured.
On top of all that, we get to see how a movie from The Asylum gets made!
