Famous Studios Superman - Eleventh Hour

Apr 03, 2020, 01:30 PM

Immortan Hoof and Dave enter the dark times, as Superman becomes a propaganda piece with the series’ most infamous installment, “Eleventh Hour”.

Just when we thought we’d already seen the depths of the Famous Studios era of Superman...we get Eleventh Hour, a flat out propaganda film and arguably the most infamous of the 1940s Superman cartoons. Strap in folks, this one’s going to be brutal.

I’m your host, David Snider, and joining me as we put on our cringe faces is the ruler of Citadel and an all around good guy (minus the occasional cannibalism -- allegedly!) Immortan Hoof.

Listen as we discuss how the japanese stereotypes have somehow increased a hundredfold since The Japoteurs; Superman goes full on Red Son as he blows stuff up; and finally, we wonder just how the hell Lois and Clark ended up in a Japanese prison in the first place.
