Our Batman run ends and things bottom out once more with 1997's Steel, starring Shaquille O'Neal aka Shaq. The first movie we've covered with a BIPOC lead and one of Jason's most anticipated films for this podcast, can we find anything salvageable in this underbudgeted attempt to revive the Superman family on the big screen, or is it as bad as Shaq's free throw percentage?  The podcast can be foun...
