14.48 Immigrants: Hidden Gems

It’s just Susan and Cort this week—Kelly’s still “swimming with sharks”—but the conversation is packed!

They dive into the theme of immigrants and hidden gems, with shoutouts to Superman (yes, he’s an immigrant too), the new Superman movie from James Gunn, and hidden cinematic/documentary treasures. Plus, there’s plenty of tea on Beyond the Gates, Love Island USA, and what the hell happened to Chelly & Ace?!

They also cover:

• New cancellations (RIP Duster 🪦)

• Murderbot & The Bear 🐻

• Streaming faves: Ironheart, Roswell, Foundation, and more

• A not-so-fond farewell to Squid Game

🦸🏽‍♂️ Superman is a metaphor for immigration, and the hosts dig into that cultural significance—plus how media can challenge or reinforce stereotypes.

🎥 Cort recommends The Donut King, and Susan highlights Little America on AppleTV+.
