As the most controversial comic book movie in history, the debates over Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice rage on even years later. The online discussion divided audiences into either loving or hating Zack Snyder’s take on DC’s heroes, instead of discussing it as fans–a problem the Batman v Superman: By The Minute Podcast hopes to change.

The questions posed by the movie itself–What does “the American Way” mean today? When does a hero become a villain? How would Earth react to the events of Man of Steel?–went unexplored. Even if the film’s detractors despise the answers Snyder offers to these questions, shouldn’t superhero fans decide for themselves if they’re worth asking? Two Screen Rant Editors have set out to discover the truth, rewatching the movie one minute at a time.

Whether you love the film, despise it, or were among those driven out of the middle or disappointed, all are invited to join hosts Stephen Colbert and Andrew Dyce as they examine Batman v Superman’s characters, plot, themes, cinematography, stunt work, and the film’s place in the larger history of superhero storytelling. With 39 minutes of the “Ultimate Cut” already down, fans can start from the very beginning on their podcast service of choice–or listen to the latest episode, Minute 40: “Robert, Martin, and John” below.

Welcome to Batman v Superman: By The Minute, a podcast devoted to rewatching, discussing, and deconstructing Zack Snyder’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, one minute at a time.

In Minute 40: “Robert, Martin, and John” Clark Kent returns to The Daily Planet with a story straight out of Gotham City: a violent ‘Bat-vigilante’ who is preying on the forgotten corners of the city–with the police apparently helping him. But while Clark has taken Kahina Ziri’s words to heart, it’s up to Perry White to tell Clark what stories Americans REALLY care about these days. Meanwhile Lois Lane returns with a hot lead, having her suspicions about the Nairomi bullet confirmed. Superman is being blamed for the Nairomi incident… but has America been playing one side this whole time?
