In which Stuart, Michael & Rob arrive at the final countdown...With 3 days to go, the countdown to James Gunn's Superman continues...All-Star Superfan co-host Rob O'Connor & (a recorded later and edited in after) It All Comes Back To Superman host Michael Bailey join Stuart as the Countdown reaches it's conclusion, with a news round up and a look back at our anticipation for previous screen adventures of Superman.PLEASE NOTE: As stated above, Michael was unable to record with Rob & Stuart at the same time, so he recorded with Stuart later. I have done my best to edit Michael in naturally, but it may not be as seamless or flow quite as nicely as normal. Apologies if this affects your enjoyment of the episode, but it was important to have the 3 of us on the episode to bring this countdown to a close, and this was the best way to make that happen.
