Episode Notes

EPISODE 8 - A Sharped Dressed Man - “They Are A Little Sweaty”

Greetings Super friends! Welcome to Superman & Lois & Pals. I’m Henry Bernstein and alongside me is my favorite super pal, Professor Sam Brody. 

Let’s talk about Superman & Lois Season 4, Episode 8 - A Sharp Dressed Man

Directed by:

Michael Kudlitz (Lex Luthor)

Written By:

Brent Fletcher and Todd Helbing

The Apple TV and Imdb description is: 

Luthor challenges Lois to a live telecast debate, though not everything is as it seems; John Henry and Clark face a troubling possibility.

Henry's Notes:

• Luthor doing an interview, fitted for suit and CLEAN SHAVEN. He looks like Lex Luthor. Great reveal
• Milton reference again. 
• “After today the whole world will be on your side” with a Luthor smile
• So the DOD hangs out at his house which is different than usual?
• So now Clark doesn’t wear the glasses and I miss it!
• Cancer call back. “They are a little sweaty”
  • This is really good. Not just pretending this story never happened. THis is what really happens in families dealing with Cancer.
  • YAY!!! Lois is Cancer free. BAZOOMBAS is back!
• Why haven’t Nat and John Henry cleaned up their bunker?
• Yes! Steel covering for Superman. That’s how it’s supposed to go! I love seeing Steel not just blast things but actually rescue someone. 
• TOM CAVANAGH IS G GORDON GODFREY!!!!!!
  • This is amazing. My absolute favorite guy. 
• This is great that Luthor is going on tv and spinning/lying. This is so classic. I love this. Oh my god, even spinning why he brought Lexcorp to Smallville. 
• Clark is right trying to get Lois not take the bait. I like that he had a solution and not just a don’t do it. “Let’s go to the office”
• “Now that everybody knows I can fly”
• Candice broke up with Jonathan and my reaction was “haha good.”
  • While I don’t care that much about Candice, the reason she broke up with Jonathan makes sense. But I definitely don’t care about a rom-com last second confession of love
  • “I’m the Costanza of relationships”
• So Amanda is in love with Lex. There’s precedence for unrequited love with Lex. I’m dying to know who MILTON is. At this point they won’t stop talking about Milton. 
• “Feels like we’re working in a fishbowl”
• What do you think about Lois’ thing being not only the spelling thing but she swears in her writing?
• “We flew here together”  
• Interesting that Clark is losing his hearing.
  • Do you think the series will end with Clark losing all his powers, being a regular guy and the boys taking over?
  • Oh that’s really interesting that he has heart disease. 
  • Clark now has basically what Lois had last season.
• Is Luthor just absolutely disgusted with humanity? Or does he have some heightened senses or something? His spidey sense is tingling.
• Do Lois and Amanda have history?
• Love hearing Tom Cavanagh say, “Superman, Superman”
  • I love that he did the glasses bit. 
• Lois is on defense, this is a set up duh. 
• “I think the circumstances speak for themselves”
• Why are they obsessed with Jaimie Kennedy the mid-2000s comedian who maybe also had a prank show?
• “It’s being a carnival barker”
• Brainiac time baby. Now we’re getting into the endgame. Will we get the full blown version? It’s kind of weird that we’ve never seen this guy before and now he’s an ultimate mastermind. 
  • This is an amazing action sequence. Love the heat vision from both sides. That was nuts
• Superman keeps his wedding ring on now. Nice touch. 
• Confirmed and canonical in this show that the ONLY way they got news about Superman was from Lois?
• Damn, Godfrey just made an enemy in Lois Lane. 
• Sexy Lexy
• Lex Luthor ISN’T a computer genius
• “Mr. Gorman from our world” - That’s a GUS GORMAN reference from Superman III. God I love this show.
• So Superman, is “terminal.”
  • Great shot of the family together at the table
• If Milton is going to be taken seriously, we’ve gotta get some back story and motivation.
• “Now that’s a killer suit” - they better paint it green and purple otherwise what’s the point.
• Is Superman dying or is it that his powers are failing?
