Brandon Routh (Superman Returns, Scott Pilgrim vs the World) joins us to share the thoughts and feelings on his role as Superman not living up to the expectations that he had hoped for. He opens up on the idea of oneâs ego clouding self-judgement and how itâs important to pursue balance in life. We talk about deflecting as a defense mechanism, overcoming things not within our control, and our purpose day to day. - ZĂĄbava
Hollywood did Brandon Routh so dirty. Dude deserves more respect.
Totally!!!! Hollywood is dirty. I think it was because he was from small town Midwest?
Yeah i agree. I dont think it was because was from a small town. I think it had a lot to do with timing, them constantly creating new versions and so on.
@@jm7720 So sad for Routh. Such a nice fellow and did a great job.
I only support him because I hate Brit actors undercutting US/CA actors needing work to do US/CA characters in TV/Films, so Brits are cheaper or stereotyped as better trained.
Also Brandon is from my state atleast parallels Clark Kent rural upbringing. Otherwise Tom Welling/Smallville's cast should've had Routh's movie if it had been nowadays film/TV multiverse no problem BS.
He has made a few dollars from his many jobs. I'd say he is doing very well for himself. Hollywood? Isn't that the town somewhere in California that has people fleeing from it? So many vacant and abandoned properties no one knows the exact count. Canada is becoming the new Hollywood I predict. Ameraican's are broke and theater's are closed. Likely we will soon see a comeback of the Drive-in theater.
Clark and Lex having a heart to heart.
Also, The Flash and Superman have a heart to heart. :D
Who was the flash up there?
Smooth Keys michael voiced the flash in the JL animated series
Word? That's what's up
The Flash and The Atom swallow some mushrooms and go on ranting for almost 90 mins.
Never stop this podcast Michael. Youâre doing something truly special and we are with you for the long run
sammy
i agree its bloody fabulous.
its the best if you finally can do what you love, great work!
They were honestly so stupid to write Brandon out. I would have kept his character til the end. He is the best part of the show.
The production and writing for the last few seasons on the CW have gotten so horrible; it's really a shame.
â@@docsavage873 The turning point was when Felicity got up from that wheelchair. Some shows slid into shit (looking at you Supergirl) faster than others (cough Legends cough), but it was downhill from there for the Arrowverse.
season 3 flash was trash until 5 only good thing about 4 was Ralph Iris felicity and rip hunter were kisses of death
Yeah. But once you play Superman AND Clark Kent convincingly, as Brandon did so well and really bring the myth to the screen, you have done something few actors get to do. That role will stay with Brandon for the rest of his life. And all of the cool other roles he plays are just building his reputation as a man able to convince the World of the possibility he might be actually Superman. If only for that one Movie or TV show. **** Michael. You portrayed one of the great villains Lex Luthor. And you played the role longer than any human on Earth. Tom Welling and yourself have that in common. You have deeply etched your roles into the mind's of viewers.
Ikr!!!.
Thanks for watching the pod folks. if you dig it or just came to see brandon, i'd appreciate if you can stick around. I'll think you'll really dig all the interviews and really get something out of them. I learn so much from all these folks. Rock on and Much thanks, Rosenbaum
I will love you forever jejeđ
Lex.... your pods interview are the best Michael. đ€
Dig it brother! Routh and you in a Kingdom Come mini-series?
Yeah man. You are good at this gig. Build it. As an actor you are good. Channel that into your interviewer skills. You are a natural.
God bless you, Mr. Rosenbaum :))))
Routh is an AMAZING Superman, and he did a fantastic job in Superman Returns, but he fell victim to poor writing.
Thank you! While I thought much of the acting was decent, I personally thought the movie overall sucked. It's no surprise there were no sequels. I remember the DVD sales even tanked fairly early on.
But I loved him on Legends
The movie was much more sincere, and more critically praised, than Man of Steel. But definitely producing issues/planning a long haul story, where a sequel could have solved things.
Instead of an hour and 23 minutes of Superman Returns, we get real insight into Brandon Routh the person and whatâs really going on in his world. Bravo.
BRANDON ROUTH is the best thing form Crisis on Infinite Earths. Kingdom Come Superman!
Yea he was the ONLY reason I was watching it in the first place. I was so upset when Lex Luther killed him. I really wish he played a bigger part in the crossover than what he did.
Sebastian Molina same here!! I couldnât believe they killed him off to bring Lex back! Lex was so annoying! John Wesley Shipp was great as well!!
@@javiercarrillo2156 exactly and i feel like they really sold crisis on the back of Routh's kingdom come superman
Now the only thing that we can hope for now is if that superman show with him is true the post-crisis series that is unlimited that will go on either the CW or HBO Max. Also guys, this is a rumor.
justwar12 It would also be cool if they made a Kingdom Come movie
BRANDON, we want YOUR Superman series, please!!! ASAP
Oh, and let's have Michael as Lex. Everybody would want to see this!
â@@theotherchannel2279 Brandon Routh used to get the exact same criticism that the current superman is getting (Hoechlin). " HeÂŽs too young", "too skinny", "too much wooden acting..." I canÂŽt wait for 2030, when we get a new superman actor, and everybody goes "I miss tyler hoechlin so much, he was my sups..." I canÂŽt stand people who live trapped in a romantic (and fake) version of the past.
@@gabrielp9646, not living in the past at all. Brandon stole the show with his interpretation of Superman, he owned it and it showed with all the love he got. He has shown why he deserves another go at being Superman. Did I put down Hoechlin? No, do I also want to see Tom Welling in the Superman costume, of course, I do! You are too harsh to judge a fan of Superman. You know there will always only be one Superman, right!
@@theotherchannel2279 Yeah sure, great logic. Many people love the SW prequels today, they would say those movies have "shown why they are actually good, with all the love theyÂŽre getting". Still a pile of shit, tho.
@@gabrielp9646 Hoechlin sucks
My impression is that they dumped Brandon because they didn't want to pay his salary and subsequently dumped Courtney because it doesn't make sense for her character to be around if Ray Palmer isn't.
"I just throw ragers at my house every night. For myself. And my wife."
Opening with an eerily good Farley impression and then that just seven minutes in? I'm hooked.
This format is just Epic. Credit to Brandon for being open. So many of us can identify with his struggles. You guys are all awesome. Keep up the good fight man.
Hearing Brandon talking about his final days on this current season of Legends of Tomorrow, it's sounding so much like Stephen Amell talking about his final days/scenes on Arrow/The Crossover from the podcast a few weeks/month back. So sad to hear two actors both now saying their final days on shows they put so much time and effort into over the last several years were not fun or enjoyable and their final hours on set were unpleasant and not just because of the scenes/material they were filming. I wonder if the show producers and the network need to take a bit of a look at themselves and make some changes not to treat their actors so badly in their final days. I'd hate to sit hear in a few years time and hear similar stories from Grant Gustin or Melissa Benoist when their shows end, or any other lead or major actors from these "Arrowverse" shows.
It was also very funny to hear how similar Brandon Routh is to Henry Cavill, both big gamers and nerds who got to play Superman, and who both have kind of been shit on by the studio and not got to really play the role they dreamed of.
that gives me the sads. brandon is such a great guy (and so is stephen) and to hear them leaving on a bad note from these shows that they were a part of for so long. they deserve better.
I found it interesting that both Superman actors played a lot of World of Warcraft. I wonder if Dean Cain ever played WoW.
Can you please link the time frame when he talks about this? And what happened with Stephen?
@HydroBro I haven't watched it myself yet but the podcast with Stephen is on this channel from a month ago. You might find out what happened with him there. I'm listening to it after this one. :-)
HydroBro Stephen had issues filming scenes because of issues with how the Crossover was filmed and how some of the main stars had contracts that meant they could only be on set for a certain number of hours before they had to return to their own shows. This meant there were times he was on set for hours waiting to film scenes with not a lot else he could do. Then when it came time to film some of his most important scenes and especially his characters final scenes, the actors he had been expecting to work with and act with were then not available to shoot the scenes because theyâd used up all their hours. So then Stephen is having to act scenes imagining the other actors are there and trying to deliver an emotional performance to a tennis ball. He then wondered why the producers wasted so many hours on wide shots or scenery shots where you couldnât see the actors up close and instead thought maybe those scenes should have been shot with the doubles leaving the likes of Grant, Mellisa and Caity enough hours to film the important character scenes.
I just wanna give Brandon a huge hug. It's great that he's working on managing the way he reacts to things, but I can still tell he's cut up about being written off Legends. He seems so genuine and considerate and I hope he lands on his feet.
ZOD4 I thought he willfully left đ
@@francheska3128 Unfortunately not. :(
Why did they write him off? Ray is fav character and he was there from the beginning. Legends isn't GOT the main characters should be alive for the whole show
@@ARBLACKx He isn't going to die and they "officially" said they took him out because his story with Nora is ending but most people agree that the reason they're taking him off is because Brandon Routh is one of the more higher paying if not the highest paid actor on Legends and they're kicking him off for budgetary reasons. I wish they wouldn't though.
@@francheska3128 Nope. It's a CW budget move. Brandon is one of the highest paid actors on the show because he has so many credits to his name. Because of that unfortunately Dom may be next on the chopping block since he has even more acting credits to his name than Brandon does (the recent introduction of Mick's daughter to the show already feels like a convenient way for them to eventually write Mick out). The CW has always been stingy about paying their actors and Legends is an ensemble cast without a true titular character (unlike the other Arrowverse shows).
Great to hear someone my age willing to admit that everything isnât perfect. Looking in the mirror and not knowing yourself after decades of being âyouâ poses fundamental questions
I can't believe that I am hearing for the first time that Brandon did not leave LoT on his own. In fact I remember reading in a magazine (obviously studio spin) that he left for family reasons. That just sucks. What a great guy he seems to be and what a great interview you had with him. I hope his greatest role is just around the corner and I hope you get him back soon. Great job, Mike. Love the return to the video format.
He left lot what that?
@@anteprs7908 i remember it being presented that he wanted to leave for his family. Living in California and working in Vancouver isn't easy so for a lot of shows there is a shall we say shelf life for them being up there.
he plays the best character in LoT. Ray Palmer is literally the heart of the show. idk if i'm going to be interested in watching LoT without him. his unbridled positivity is what set the show apart from every other CWverse show.
His character is too expensive for the CW budget
I'm sad to see him go from legends . He gave the show such a balance. The show will not be the same without him.
Michael, your Lexluthor representation has been for me the best ever so far and seeing you interviewing Brandon who was superman is just really a great thing to witness. Brandon thank you for opening yourself to us, it was really intuitive. i guess i am not alone on the path of finding out who the f* of a person i am.
overall really nice to listen to you guys, keep it coming!
For what it's worth, Brandon, I loved you in the role of Superman and I'm still wishing I'd been able to see more of you in that role.
I love this being back on video again! I always felt like Brandon had his walls up in interviews and he did in this in a lot of ways but I felt like he opened up a lot more than usual I really enjoyed this interview xx
1 year late, but I watched this episode today and it was overwhelming and touched me in a certain way (hard time at the moment). I'm thankful that Brandon was so honest and talked about some experiences in his personal life. Straight after I finished the video I took my raincoat on (pretty rainy day)and went out for a walk without my phone. Walked into the woods, inhaled the nature and took a deep breathe. I'm grateful, and thank you both.
Talking about life. Not just THEIR lifes. Everyone can relate.
Wonderful human beings having empathy for each other. Loved this podcast.
Watched the whole thing. Brandon is such a chill and calm dude, wow. Wasn't expecting that. Didn't know he was a fellow WoW addict either.
He shares his video game addiction with cavill the difference either cavill still is a geek but mads enough money and has a enough star power to get those roles and not let it impeded him
Brandon Routh embodies the perfect Superman.
so god damn happy to have the interviews on video!
This is definitely going my favorite one since Lex Luthor is interviewing Superman or
Flash interviewing Superman. It would be nice to see you interview Gal Gadot. Rosenbaum thanks for doing these amazing interviews. It's great to see these in-depth interviews since its rare. Rosenbaum bringing it is the best thing and seeing different sides of the actors is compelling.
HI RAGHU
This is the one dude I've seen comment on a shit ton of random videos
Donât forget Atom.
@@ChuckDogg yes I know. Originally it was suppose to be Ted Kord the blue beetle and they made references to Kord Industries but for some reason they changed it to Ray Palmer the Atom. I guess maybe they are going to use Ted Kord for the Cinematic universe.
It was interesting when talking about 'black' and 'white', good and bad coming from both Superman and Lex (Mr Rosenbaum is still my favourite Luthor). The other aspect is they both have experience working on CW shows (would've been cool to have them compare notes)
It's crazy how much Christopher Reeve I see in him. All the best for you Brandon...
I was always saying that since he played Superman and I loved it! He's my top fave man who had played Superman. đ He just gave me Christopher Reeves feels and I love it!
When I tell you despite what anyone would say I absolutely LOVED Brandon as Superman! I thought he was amazing and watching him just gave me thr same feelings I use to have when I was a kid watching Christopher Reeves as Superman.. I couldn't stop smiling! I thought he didn't have a fair chance to continue in the role so for a long time I was mad by it but when they said he was going to put on the suit again for the cross over đđđđ I was so excited! It made my day watching him.
He's on my list for men I love who played Superman.. Christopher Reeves, Brandon Routh, Dean Cain and Tom Welling đđđđđ
I loved him in Scott Pilgrim another one of my favorite movies and enjoyed him on Legends..
He's a wonderful actor and I hope to see more of him in other roles đđ
Ok I will stop fangirling now đđđâ€ïžâ€ïž
Listening to him talk about going in for roles.. Sounds like how I feel when I go in for interviews.. No matter how many times you do you the nerves will be there.
@ He definitely sounds a lot like him.
I agree F.Kusuma! I felt like he resembled him a lot. It was why I loved the movie and went and saw it three times. I was thrilled to see him play SM again for the cross over. đđ
@Jesus is God still talking about Superman? Clark is my savior.
I would love to see Brandon Routh continue his Superman role in a tv series.
1:03:58 TOTAL Superman and Lex exchange LOL đ Brandon Routh IS Superman Michael IS Luthor.
Can't wait to watch this but wanted to say right out of the gate how HAPPY I am that you are putting these back on CZcams!!!!!!
My ADHD appreciates having a visual. Thanks! Great therapy and right on with the text neck.
Brandonâs personality is kinda like Clark Kentâs lol. Also his handsomeness in Superman Returns is male beauty at its highest form.
Brandon was the perfect Superman, he was so similar to Christopher Reeves, even his voice is uncanny! I wish they would have give him another chance. With a better movie screenplay
Yeah. Stop confusing George REEVES with Christopher REEVE.
Love this guy. I can really relate to him on so many levels. He really seems like a well rounded, down to earth individual. So much respect for him. â€ïž
he truly reminds me so much of Christopher. he was a truly wonderful Superman, who got really messed over by Hollywood.
Brandon Routh, you're a total class act. Absolute best of luck to you in the future.
First chance I've had to (maybe) have you read this. Your podcast has been my favorite for a few years now. I love the in depth, open, honest, and fun tone of every episode. You're doing a great job. Also, a huge DC fan, so I love your work in Smallville and as Flash, and love the DC related guests. It's awesome. Keep doing what you're doing, man! It's working!
Brandon is the quintessential good guy. He is the perfect good guy on and off the screen.
Hollywood needs to stop sleeping on this guy and catch up. Hes criminally underrated.
Ok I love seeing this because before when listening to it I thought it was just off the cuff talking points, but now I see that Michael does his research and has notes. Love that. đđ»â€ïž
Omgggg this beautiful soul Brandon Routh! He deserves the best things. Love his gorgeous face. 11:00 brandon has a lot of unexpressed hurt over the Superman situation :( cant wait for the day he finally lets go on it
You can see a lot of pain in his eyes regarding that whole ordeal. Great man, canât wait to see whatâs next for him.
"but that catches up to you" - oh how it does. i feel like it's caught up to me right now. bypassing things, being all sunny and light. *deep breathing*
âYou asked permissionâ - excellent justification
Brandon did a Awesome job in his portrayal of Clark Kent and Superman in Superman Returns. He protected the integrity of the character. The suits dropped the ball and not him. My favourite part of CW's Crisis On Infinite Earths was him becoming Superman one more time. the role fits him like a glove so great was his performance back then and now on CW's Crisis. Brandon is my favourite Superman actor other than Christopher Reeve.
Absolutely love this man! Such a kind soul, deserves the best of everything!!!!!
That stuff Mr. Routh said about the incongruence of seeing yourself as others see you... brilliance. I relate.
Fantastic Superman and not just because at the time everyone thought he resembled Reeve IMO as shown in the recent crossover, he embodies the strength and perfectly captures the spirit of a noble Superman I hope he can return again one day
So BOTH Routh and Cavil are WoW playing Supermen... That is freaking amazing!
Oh hell yeah, love the interviews with a camera now
Great interview. I have no interest in Legends without Brandon Routh. But, he should still be Superman.
I only watched for him bc heâs the cutest
The DCEU needs a Superman and Brandon is still young enough and built.......just sayin.
@David Coleman Brandon Routh used to get the exact same criticism that the current superman is getting (Hoechlin). " HeÂŽs too young", "too skinny", "too much of a baby face", "too much wooden acting..." I canÂŽt wait for 2030, when we get a new superman actor, and everybody goes "I miss tyler hoechlin so much, he was my sups..." I canÂŽt stand people who live trapped in a romantic (and fake) version of the past. People who canÂŽt enjoy what they have. Like a kid who gets a new action figure from his parents, and cries "Nooo!! I wanted a different one!!" 42 is not that young to play REGULAR superman, tho.
I just got a chub thinking about that #Pride
True dat DC! He was awesome as SM!
Henry Cavill is the DCEU's perfect Superman, i want Brandon for an elsworld's HBOMax Kingdom Come Superman series instead.
Are we sure Brandon isn't actually Superman? He seems such a good man.
Thank you for bringing the video back man, honestly. Really missed this from when you used to do it. I love to watch podcasts in video form when available.
Awesome video! So glad you brought video back!
Brandon and Michael are both awesome and self aware dudes. I wish the best for them.
Super nice guy. So humble. He is Superman.
Brandon... I really have liked everything you have ever been in. Canât wait to see you in the next role. Just so you know I only watched legends because you were on the show and now.... nah. Hopefully you come back to Michaelâs show again.
âI am experiencing what it is to be human. That is my fundamental purpose.â-Brandon Routh
Love this. Fantastic episode. I cannot thank you enough, Michael and Brandon, for voicing these things that people, especially men, struggle to express. Cheers to journeying and being honest about it.
cheers :)
Agreed, Brandon. EVERYONE should be seeing a therapist. We don't take mental health seriously enough in this country. My therapist is amazing and I wish I'd done this 30 years ago. This was a great episode!!
My gosh Brandon has this sweetness about him, hes adorable. I love his eyes. He's just a big sweetheart.
Awesome interview! I'm drinking out of my IOU coffee mug while watching.
I binged Legends of Tomorrow last summer and really enjoy it. Sad to see Brandon leave the show but looking forward to whatever he decides to do next; whether in or out of the spotlight.
love it!
Inside of you with Micheal Rosenbaum: Lex Luthor interviews Superman/
The Flash interviews The Atom.
That should've been the title of this episode
Michael's voice. inside my ears. always joy.
I just watched the episode where he was saying goodbye on Legends! Man, all those feelings really came thru in the performance. I was not ok đ
When Superman and Lex Luther have a civil conversation I listen.
I'm soooooo glad you're back to doing some with videos. Seeing the interactions between you and your guests makes it so much more intriguing
Brandon Routh is the most Christopher Reeve-looking actor to play Superman since Reeve himself. I like to squint my eyes when I watch Superman Returns, and it actually looks like Reeve on screen (instead of Routh). The story in that film was horrible and it wasn't Routh's fault. He played it as straight as it could be done, and did a nice job. Brandon Routh got a raw deal from Hollywood and the S Franchise. GOD BLESS HIM. Would LOVE to see him play S again.
Iâm so happy the video podcasts are back. Thanks Rosey!!!!!!
I just love Brandon so much! I hope his next role will be a main role where heâs appreciated for his amazing talent and personality! It breaks my heart when I listened to this cause you can hear how bummed he is about them throwing them out of Legends!
Hooray! So excited for the videos! Looking forward to watching this later, but just wanted to leave a comment to let you know that these new videos are bringing this podcast to a whole new level! â„ïžđ
First live podcast of inside of you was freaking fantastic! This was amazing being able to see your friends and see yall talk about everything! It's great! Thank you for starting this, keep it up!!!
Love this!! Hearts and likes. So glad you stuck with Insideofyoupod. Seriously man. So many life lessons told that you can pull from.
Rosenbaum: I never get to play the hero.
Me: What about when you were The Flash and a damn good one.
I'll always hear his voices when I am thinking about the Flash
@@dennysantoso578 Wally West--the greatest Flash.
Yesss!!!! So happy to see you again Michael! đ„°đ„° Wonderful interview!! Brandon is the sweetest! Gonna miss him so much in Leyends of Tomorrow. đ
PS. Michael, I'm still waiting for another season of Impastor. (Please?)
Great episode, love that it is on you tube now, loved listening to the podcast in my car but love getting to watch great people converse about real life on screen even more, keep up the brilliant work Michael. Love your show, it is one of the best parts of my week. Thanks for them all.
Thanks you for doing the video format again!!!
Great podcast and an amazing guest! Brandon should deserve a return as Superman on a regular TV show, he is the nearest to Christopher Reeves. Cheers from Costa Rica đšđ·
I've been waiting for this for so long. Thank u.
This just came up on my youtube home screen and so glad it did - didn't know I needed this in my life but now I'm going to watch/listen to every episode
thank God the videos are back !!! I have so much to catch up on ! thank you for coming back MICHAEL !!!!!!!!!!
I love how he has his room with posters galore..showing us his favorites, he could easily put HIS own stuff up there, but thats not who he is..Dude is a genuine human being, who from listening and watching his podcast, I think he surprises many guest with how oringal and unique he is..He is super talented, never stop being you. Thank you! You rule Michael.
Lol, who isnât genuine
I always love listening to this on my way to work. Really shows the other side of celebrity actors and they remind us that they are also human as well.
Loved it!!! Congrats on going video.. as always your podcast is so helpful and man thank you for what you do. Let's keep growing this podcast!!!!
Iâm so happy itâs finally on video. I feel like video gives a perspective because of being able to see peopleâs body language when they speak and itâs great. Thanks Michael.
Hey loved it! I loved the podcast (only having recently started listening) and the video addition is a nice touch. Thank you for your transparency and the light you bring to the stigmas of mental health. My 21 y/o daughter is an avid DC fan and Smallville is an annual watch for our family still. Anyways she deals with several mental health issues and I have shared your story with her. I think she struggles the most with being understood by her peers so knowing someone that she enjoys following has similar struggles is an encouragement. Anyways thanks for the show!
The greatest TV series ever would be:
THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN: The Golden Age 1938-1955 Starring Brandon Routh
I remember how the Star Trek fans on the 70s brought the franchise back. This would be the project to push for!
@Clyde Disney Brandon Routh used to get the exact same criticism that the current superman is getting (Hoechlin). " HeÂŽs too young", "too skinny", "too much wooden acting..." I canÂŽt wait for 2030, when we get a new superman actor, and everybody goes "I miss tyler hoechlin so much, he was my sups..." I canÂŽt stand people who live trapped in a romantic (and fake) version of the past.
@@gabrielp9646 TBH, I'm not sure it would be the case, as nobody really says that about Dean Cain. I really liked Lois & Clark and him in the role (though his crooked 'S' BOTHERED THE HELL OUT OF ME!). He is seen as somebody in the role during the 90s.
â@@dannyr2976 I know, Im 28. I used to watch Lois & Clark as a kid. But yes, it would be the case. I remember watching the fisrt on set pictures of Superman Returns, I remember watching the trailers on TV, I remember watching the movie in the theatre, and I remember the amount of negative reviews that came about 1 week later. Everybody was saying the EXACT SAME THING about Routh "HeÂŽs too young, too skinny, and not manly enough" or "HeÂŽs not a good enough actor, heÂŽs too green and wooden" (which was also said about Dean Cain & Tom Welling, btw).
And I wasnÂŽt even a huge follower of movie news back then, and even I knew how it was "trendy" to hate on Superman Returns, and call that movie cheesy, silly, outdated... (very similar to how it became trendy to hate on BvS, or the last season of GOT. Very similar to what people are saying about Tyler Hoechlin right now. "HeÂŽs not tall enough" despite the fact that he is just as tall as Henry Cavill. Or "He doesnÂŽt have enough muscles", despite the fact that he is way, WAY more jacked than Routh was in Superman Returns). Im not saying thatÂŽs what I thought about the movie btw, Im saying thatÂŽs what everybody was saying back then. Also, Dean Cain wore two Superman suits, the first one didnÂŽt have a crooked "S" emblem.
Gabriel P Jesus, How specific are you and stop copying and Pasting the same sentence over and over again.
so glad you have gone back to filming it and great interview as usual.
Wow. This was such a GREAT interview!
Thanks Michael!
Fantastic interview. I thought Brandon was leaving of his own accord not because they are letting him go. This is such a baffiling decision by the producers as Ray Palmer is probably the strongest character on the show after Sara. Really donât understand why
Listening to Brandon talk about philosophy, life, ego, I couldn't help but think a lot of what hes saying aligns with Buddhism and he could greatly benefit from it, but when he said "the middle way"(which is a common Buddhist practice) I realized he's already following a Buddhist path đ
What a great show! Both of you were giving and taking and open and honest. Very genuine. Love both of your work. Very entertaining. I know Iâm late to finding this but I am very glad to be catching up. Keep up the great show.
So glad you have your podcast on CZcams. Itâs a different kind of connection when we can see you and your guest! Thanks for doing this!!
I have to admit i really liked Brandon as Superman. I think he didn't just look the part, he played the part PERFECTLY. He had that charisma that Christopher Reeves had both as Clark and as Superman. Hollywood sucks balls. They should have given him another shot. I mean the movie wasn't a flop. It made back the budget and another hundred and fifty million. That's a win.
Give him a series!

@@gabrielp9646 Stop spamming that
@@user-rv4wn5qk7q Why?
@@gabrielp9646 Desnecessary. Even though I agree with you.
Gabriel P Because itâs annoying.
This one is one of the best interviews Ive ever seen, truthful, honest, deep. You and Brandon are both cool guys and this was really special. Hope to see more of you soon.
Amazing interview. A great listen. Canât get enough of this podcast. Love the real issues and important content! Keep it up Rozy!
Brilliant interview, it was a shame Brandon never got his sequel as he played both roles as Clark/Superman well & showed a vulnerable side to both characters.
Listening to this on Instagram now watching on CZcams...Yes!!!đđđ
I love being able to see! I think the video just helps us enjoy something already so special and amazing. Thank you Michael and keep living your best life and having these wonderfully refreshing and inspiring genuine conversations âșïž
Thank God we can watch it now. All the podcasts I love listening to I enjoy even more when I can watch too. Thank you đđŒ
