Following her announcement at Superman Celebration that she will reprise her role as Martha "Ma" Kent in James Gunn's Man of Tomorrow, Neva Howell joins Shawn Eastridge for her first interview discussing the highly anticipated sequel and the future of the DC Universe.
 
Neva reflects on returning to the role of Ma Kent, reuniting with Pruitt Taylor Vince (Pa Kent), and stepping back into the warm, family-like environment fostered by writer-director James Gunn. While she can't reveal specific plot details, she does offer a tantalizing tease for fans eager to see where Superman's story goes next:
 
"Whatever you were thinking, it's probably not that."
 
Shawn and Neva also discuss the growing DCU, their excitement for Supergirl and Lanterns, the importance of balancing heart and humor in superhero storytelling, and why she believes fans who loved Superman (2025) are going to "flip over" Man of Tomorrow.

Go APES with The Franchyze Boiz!

Shawn, Brad, and Aaron take a deep dive into one of the strangest, smartest, and most influential franchises in science fiction history: Planet of the Apes. In Part One of their epic discussion, they revisit all five films from the original series, from the groundbreaking 1968 classic starring Charlton Heston to the increasingly bizarre sequels that somehow become darker, stranger, and more politically charged with each installment.

Along the way, they explore the franchise's unforgettable characters, groundbreaking makeup effects, civil rights allusions, nuclear anxieties, and the surprising emotional depth hiding beneath all that ape makeup.

This franchise has it all: mutant cultists, ape revolutions, time travel, political allegory, and the literal end of the world. What's not to love?

It's a madhouse! A MADHOUSE!!

In this episode of Missing Frames, Shawn and returning guest John Mills tackle one of the most gloriously baffling cult films of the 1980s: Masters of the Universe.

Technically speaking? It’s not a good movie.

Emotionally speaking? They kind of love it anyway.

Together, Shawn and John dive deep into the strange, earnest, deeply endearing world of Cannon Films’ live-action adaptation of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, starring Dolph Lundgren as He-Man and a gloriously committed Frank Langella as Skeletor. Along the way, they unpack the film’s bizarre production history, its unmistakable “Cannon Films energy,” and why the movie’s sincerity and lack of cynicism make it weirdly lovable. They also discuss that odd moment when a "bad" movie ends up being far more endearing and memorable than a competent one.

By the Power of Grayskull, this one has the power. 🎧

It’s been nearly a year since the release of Superman, so what better time to catch up with Ma Kent herself, Neva Howell?

In this special Between Takes episode of Missing Frames, Neva returns to the show to reflect on the whirlwind year following Superman’s release, including the heartfelt reactions from fans who embraced her warm, grounded portrayal of Martha Kent. She shares stories about meeting Superman fans from across the country, discusses some of the comics and Superman stories she’s been exploring lately, and opens up about what it’s been like becoming part of one of pop culture’s most beloved mythologies.

Shawn and Neva also revisit some of the film’s most emotional moments, including her and Pruitt Taylor Vince's (Pa Kent) reactions to the film's powerful final scene and why the Kent family dynamic resonated so deeply with audiences. They also discuss Neva’s recent appearances on 9-1-1: Nashville, her upcoming film projects, and her excitement about attending this year’s Superman Celebration in Metropolis, Illinois. 

Naturally, Shawn and Neva also look ahead to the future of the DCU, including their excitement for projects like Supergirl and Lanterns. (As for Clayface… Neva may be sitting that one out.)

And yes, Shawn does his best “Lois Lane investigative journalist” impression while trying to uncover whether Ma and Pa Kent might return for James Gunn’s upcoming Superman sequel, Superman: Man of Tomorrow.

Neva’s official response?

“Fingers crossed.”

In this Missing Frames episode, Shawn and Sarah conclude their journey to Oz with Wicked: For Good. They were huge fans of Part One, but this time around? They're not quite Defying Gravity. While the performances are still strong, what should have been a powerful payoff feels more like a drawn-out third act, one that struggles to justify the filmmakers' decision to split the story into two films. 

During their discussion, Shawn and Sarah break down:

• The challenges of adapting a stage musical into two standalone films
• Why the emotional core of the story doesn’t quite land
• How separating Elphaba and Glinda for most of the runtime undermines the film’s emotional core

In the end, Wicked: For Good serves as a reminder that not every story benefits from being split into two.

“You can’t handle the truth!” But can you handle finally watching A Few Good Men? 

In this episode of Missing Frames, Shawn introduces returning guest Richie Pepio to Rob Reiner's iconic courtroom drama A Few Good Men. Together, they unpack what makes the movie work, from Aaron Sorkin’s signature dialogue (and early “Sorkinisms”) to Reiner’s direction and the film’s stacked cast, including Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, and Demi Moore.

Along the way, Shawn and Richie reflect on Sorkin’s evolution as a writer, the film’s origins as a stage play, and why A Few Good Men remains such a defining showcase for powerhouse acting and a reminder that Rob Reiner was truly one of the all-time great filmmakers.

In this episode of Missing Frames, Shawn and Sarah FINALLY dive into one of the biggest cultural phenomena in recent memory: Wicked (Part One). Coming in with surprisingly little knowledge of the musical, they explore whether the hype is justified. They unpack the emotional core of Elphaba and Glinda’s relationship, highlight unforgettable song and dance numbers (Jonathan Bailey FTW), and debate whether the decision to split the story into two films ultimately helps or hurts the experience. They also look ahead to Wicked: For Good, trying to make sense of the surprisingly mixed reactions from longtime fans and wondering what could possibly cause such a dramatic shift in reception.

In this episode of Missing Frames, John Mills returns to tackle one of Akira Kurosawa’s most acclaimed films: HIGH AND LOW. Along the way, Shawn and John discuss the film’s remarkable cinematography, its influence on filmmakers from David Fincher to Michael Mann, and why Kurosawa’s storytelling still feels strikingly modern more than sixty years later. They also reflect on Kurosawa’s legacy in global cinema, how his work shaped everything from the American Western to Star Wars, and why High and Low deserves to be considered one of the greatest crime films ever made.

In this episode of Missing Frames, Shawn and Sarah celebrate the legacy of legendary actress Catherine O’Hara by revisiting Christopher Guest’s mockumentary comedy A Mighty Wind (2003). The conversation dives into the film’s folk music setting, the emotional core of Mitch and Mickey’s relationship, and the unique collaborative process behind Guest’s improvisation-driven filmmaking. Along the way, Shawn and Sarah reflect on Catherine O’Hara’s career, her chemistry with Eugene Levy, and how the film balances comedy, nostalgia, and genuine emotional resonance.

While heading to the theater for James Cameron’s latest blockbuster, Avatar: Fire and Ash, Shawn and Sarah Eastridge take a look back, reflecting on the original film and The Way of Water. Following their screening, they break down their spoiler-free and spoiler-heavy thoughts on the newest entry and ask the big question: do they want more Avatar? And more importantly: do they want more Avatar WITHOUT James Cameron at the helm?

Missing Frames is closing out 2025 with a beloved holiday classic: Stanley Kubrick’s EYES WIDE SHUT. Wait…what? That’s right, we’re declaring once and for all that Eyes Wide Shut IS a Christmas movie. Join Shawn Eastridge and returning guest Richie Pepio as they dive into Stanley Kubrick’s enigmatic final film and discuss how it offers an intriguing and disturbing glimpse into the realm of marriage and long-term relationships. They also examine how Kubrick used Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman’s star status to manipulate both their performance and the audience and why the film’s initial lackluster response from both audiences and critics was so baffling.

2025 has been the Year of Superman, and Missing Frames has been celebrating James Gunn’s new film by sitting down with some of the writers, artists, and actors who help make the Man of Steel so special. Past conversations have included comic legends Dan Jurgens, Mark Waid, Tom King, and Phillip Kennedy Johnson, reflections on Richard Donner’s iconic film with Lauren Shuler Donner, and even a chat with Ma Kent herself, Neva Howell.

Today’s guest is another incredible talent: Jonah Lees, who appears in Superman as Dean Farr, one of Lex Luthor’s LuthorCorp cronies, alongside his real-life twin brother, Christian. But Jonah’s career extends far beyond Metropolis. A highlight of the conversation is his work with Richard Linklater and Ethan Hawke on Blue Moon, as well as his recent portrayal of John Lennon in the Brian Epstein biopic Midas Man. An actor, songwriter, musician, and director, Jonah is a multifaceted creative whose range is as impressive as it is exciting. What begins as a Superman celebration quickly becomes a love letter to many shared passions: Superman, Richard Linklater, and The Beatles.

What happens when a film not only lives up to the hype but completely rewires your cinematic brain? In this Halloween special, Shawn is joined by John Carpenter aficionados Brad Gullickson and John Mills as he dives headfirst into his first-ever viewing of John Carpenter’s In the Mouth of Madness. The trio unpacks the movie’s eerie brilliance, Sam Neill’s masterful performance, and the meta madness that makes this one of Carpenter’s most underrated masterpieces.

Can you love both Zack Snyder’s MAN OF STEEL and James Gunn’s SUPERMAN? While online discourse often paints fans as divided, there are many who appreciate both interpretations of the iconic hero. In this episode of Missing Frames’ Celebrating Superman series, Shawn is joined by fellow Nerd Party members Matthew Rushing and John Mills—two longtime Superman fans who enjoy both Snyder’s and Gunn’s visions of the character. Together, they explore what makes each take so compelling, and why tearing down others for their personal preferences runs counter to everything Superman represents.

Shawn and Brad discuss the film's brilliance, its beauty, its heart, and its all-around bonkers story (which Christopher Nolan more than likely snagged some inspiration from for his 2010 film Inception). They also chat about Satoshi Kon's legacy as a filmmaker and what makes Paprika such a special entry in his brilliant filmography.

Shawn and Gene discuss Gene's love of drawing and telling stories, how he self-published his works while teaching full time, and how he transitioned into the realm of professional comic book publishing. They also discuss the origins of Superman Smashes the Klan and how his personal experiences as a Chinese-American helped him expand upon the classic 1940s radio show story for his adaptation. 

No Superman Celebration would be complete without honoring Richard Donner and his 1978 masterpiece, SUPERMAN, starring Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman, and Marlon Brando. Donner’s visionary film not only invented the "Comic Book Movie," it helped launch the era of modern blockbusters, standing proudly alongside the likes of Steven Spielberg's Jaws and George Lucas' Star Wars.

In this episode, Shawn celebrates Donner’s legacy with none other than LAUREN SHULER DONNER, the love of Donner's life and one of Hollywood’s most accomplished producers. Her credits include Mr. Mom, Pretty in Pink, Free Willy, You’ve Got Mail, and the entire X-Men franchise. Join Lauren and Shawn as they reflect on Richard “Dick” Donner’s incredible life, career, and his enduring impact on the legacy of Superman.

Jason and Shawn discuss the origins of this run, how to strike the fine balance between "reverence" and "revamp" and, most importantly, which side of the "TRUNKS or NO TRUNKS" debate Jason falls on. 

Shawn continues his Superman celebrations with JOSIE CAMPBELL, the Co-Showrunner and Head Writer for the magnificent animated series MY ADVENTURES WITH SUPERMAN.

The CELEBRATING SUPERMAN series continues with Eisner award winner MIKE CARLIN, the legendary group editor of Superman comics through the late 80s and 90s. During his beloved Superman tenure, Mike helped lead an all-star team of writers and artists, including the likes of John Byrne, Dan Jurgens, Roger Stern, Jerry Ordway, Louise Simonson, Jon Bogdanove, AND MORE. He oversaw such game-changing stories as THE DEATH/RETURN OF SUPERMAN story arc and spearheaded a number of creative decisions that have shaped the character and had major influence on not just the comics themselves but adaptations such as the 1990s Lois & Clark television series and even James Gunn's new film.

In their conversation, Shawn and Mike discuss how Mike got into comics, what eventually brought him over to DC, why he and the Superman creative team decided to kill Superman, and an angry phone call from Harlan Ellison once the news of Superman's death hit the mainstream.
