The Man of Screen Podcast Episode 176 – Superboy: Microboy/Run, Dracula, Run

A weekly podcast in which Mike Zummo chronicles the adventures of Superman in the movies and on TV.

In episode 176 of the Man of Screen podcast, Mike Zummo continues his run through Season 2 of the Salkind-produced Superboy television show.

First, were going to take to the Silver Age of comics when a love-struck college student tries to win the heart of Lana Lang by giving himself super powers. I mean, who wouldnt?

Why is he doing this? And what role does his verbally abusive mother play in all this?

So, brush up on your Shakespeare, close your eyes tight so you dont have to look at this costume, and meet “Microboy”.

And then were going hunting. Vampire-hunting that is because Dr. Byron Shelley has gotten himself mugged, lost his serum and is headed toward a family reunion with Lana on one arm and offering Superboy with the other.

But will the Boy of Steel succumb or does someone need to yell, “Run, Dracula, Run”!

Next time: Were going into the back third of Season 2 with the episodes, “Brimstone” and “Abandon Earth”.
