FOF #340 - Why the World Doesn't Need Superman - 06.30.06
Brandon Routh South, Ruth, Rowth, Growth- all we know is he is hot and Marc and César and I were excited to see the new "Superman Returns" movie.
WARNING! THIS PODCAST IS FULL OF SUPERMAN RETURNS SPOILERS!!!
Openly gay director Bryan Singer, well known for writing and directing the blockbuster X-Men films, decided to opt out of making the third (and what seems to be the final) X-Men movie in order to direct and write a film that DC comics hopes will re-invent and launch once again the Superman franchise.
But the world has changed A LOT since the man of steel last graced the silver screen. Maybe the world hasn't really changed all that much, but the innocence of Americans and the fowl stench of nationalism is something we're all pretty uncomfortable with these days thanks to the Bush Administration.
For one thing, in this movie the phrase "the American Way" has been taken out when referencing Superman! Why? Becasue Truth and Justice (in capital letters) are no longer synonymous with "the American Way." Now that's a shame.
The film begins with Superman being gone for four years to visit the remains of his planet Krypton. We never hear what happened over there, or why he felt compelled to pick up and leave of a sudden. So of course Lois Lane feels all hurt and abandoned along with the rest of humanity, and she writes an article titled "Why the World Doesn't Need Superman" which wins her a Pulitzer Prize (the oscars for journalism.)
We never get to hear why their world didn't need Superman, but I can certainly tell you that all sexual fantasies aside, putting your hopes and dreams into some white guy in a cape is probably not a good idea. It's better to fantasize about the superman inside you, and the truth is that at the end of the day, the only ones who can save us from our problems is ourselves. So as Ru-Paul says- "You Betta Work!"
If there is a black Jesus, why can't we have a black Superman? I think super-handsome and wholesome Brosi Kodjoe from Madea's Family Reunion would be a delicious choice.
Either way, YOU SHOULD go see "Superman Returns" because it's a fun movie to watch. Kevin Spacey and Parker Posey stole the movie, and the brief millisecond Brandon Routh's pecs are flashed on the screen will forever be imbedded in my mind.
All I want to know is why Brandon wont return our phone calls? Typical Superman.

I love Jessica! She is ranchie and funny mixed with just the right amount of class. She does not hold back or filter her opinions and I love that about her. She is truely one of my favorite lesbians!

The melon masturbation was quite possibly the greatest opening of the show I have seen! I was laughing out loud.
The show as a whole was wonderful. It was one of the most entertaining ones, in my opinion. You, Marc, and Jessica have a great dynamic together. And you were taking about Brandon Routh (south? roth? etc.) who is very hot. However, you have misspelled Boris Kodjoe. You mixed up the letters for his first name.
I actually watched the View live, yesterday. Barbara Walters was not happy. From my interpretation, everybody at the View had known for a couple of months that her contract was not to be renewed. (I think they have hired Ro in her place!) They had planned on Thursday for her to announce that she was leaving. However, she said that she woke up on Tuesday, and just had to make the announcement then to end rumors and speculation. This incised Barbara Walters, and created tension it seems.
And I just want to say that Jessica, you're awesome. And completely right to say that you should be out and proud of who you are, and happy with who you are. You definitely fit that bill.
Thanks again guys for being my daily dose of day. I was also looking online a bit, and it seemed to say that female ejaculate was produced in the Skene's gland (which I believe is also known as the G-spot). It contains levels of glucose (sugar), an enzyme (prostate acid phosphatase, which is also found in male ejaculate). Urea and creatinine are also found in trace amounts. it said that a female can ejaculate up to two cups of fluid. However, there seems to be some debate over the issue of female ejaculation as a whole.
Sorry to have burdened you with such a long post. But I certainly hope it was informative.

Girl, I gots to meet me some Jessica! She brings an estrogen-fueled laugh bomb strong enough to ignite any uterus!
Said by: Cesar at June 30, 2006 11:11 AM
Kyle- if vaginal ejaculations have a lot of sugar in them, can lesbians use it to sweeten their moccachinos? I'm guessing a lot of orgasm/organic lovin' dykes would love this stuff in their morning coffee.

[from an email]
hey guys
im sure you are flooded with emails all the time.
you probably have a houseboy who reads your emails. hi houseboy ; )
i recently like 3 weeks ago came out to my family. it was, as im sure it is for everyone, a pretty tough experience. i told my mom that it would be a good bonding experience if we listened to your show
together, wanting to be open minded she agreed. she was able to stay in her seat for about 10 min. about 1 week ago i caught her listening to the show by herself. i gave her the same speech i was given the first time i was caught watching porn. you know the whole it normal to be curious thing. although i dont think she was masterbating at the time.
eventhough im not sure about my sexuality, being kicked out of my religious community, and balancing school and work, and courting george clooney. my mother and i are always sure to listen to your show. seriously thankyou or is it thank you?
thanks for being so entertaining and having anal sex discussions with my mom so i dont have to.
Said by: John T at June 30, 2006 12:16 PM
John, you may also want to have your Mom read a couple of books to help her learn more about gay and lesbian life. She may still not be sure what questions to ask, and some books are really helpful. "Coming Out to Parents" is a good one. Good luck.

I love Jessica!!!! I look foward to hearing her on future podcasts!
Said by: Mike from Bolingbrook at June 30, 2006 01:03 PM
Kate's hair in the movie was a wig, she was on Regis and Kelly earlier in the week and said it was a wig, I hope they burned it after they finished the movie

http://www.welovebrandonrouth.com/brandonrouthshirtless.jpg A pic of Brandon thingy topless, its from a site full of him topless.
Said by: Jamie at June 30, 2006 02:36 PM
From the same site-They have a link to if Brandon is gay or not. They say he is not gay. But if this is straight, why does he look like a lesbian in the photo on this page? Tell me that one!

Said by: Marc at June 30, 2006 02:53 PM
He makes a sexy lesbian, too! (Who was who said that Clay Aiken's makeover made him look like kd lang? Sal-E? That was SO brutally true -- and hilarious!) So I guess the best way to prove that you're really, really, REALLY not a gay man is to impersonate a lesbian.
Thanks for bringing Jessica on the show -- she's a riot! I trust that she's not a gay man impersonating a lesbian to prove her hetero-ness... (isn't that why Amanda claimed at first to be a lesbian? so we wouldn't start rumors that she's actually a gay man? Sorry Amanda, I really do love you and accept you just the way you are!)
It's nice to hear from a girl who can appreciate fresh, orgasmic produce. (this episode finally cleared up for me why there was a Whole Foods float at Pride this year)
Said by: maia at June 30, 2006 03:27 PM
Is everyone slowly morphing into KD Lang?
Said by: Fausto at June 30, 2006 03:55 PM
It's the new entropy. We're all slowly, inexorably becoming kd lang look-alikes.
Wouldn't that make a freaky sci-fi movie?
Said by: maia at June 30, 2006 04:09 PM
Fausto, dear, didn't Jessica say the female ejaculate tasted salty? I guess I'll take her word for it because I won't be going near one anytime soon. The enzymes probably overpower the sweet taste. But the dykes still might like it. It's all natural, and pure.
You should see if any lesbians out there (--or straight men, if they even listen carefully to the podcast! But I can't imagine them not turning gay or being closet lesbians at least by listening to this gay feast all the time--( what they think of female ejaculate. (taste, experiences, etc.) It would be interesting.
Clay Aiken looks abnormal. Seriously. Did he have some work done or just hire some crap stylist? :|
Oh yes, whole and organic foods are just orgasmic. Bananas and grapes have been two of my favorites. (Just imagine it!) I can see how the lesbians would love the melons, though. I can't wait to indulge in organics soon!
Marc, the picture in that link has tainted my image of Brandon. I very likely may have mistook him for a lesbian had I known it wasn't him in the picture. He seems to have gotten in better shape as well. Some of the shirtless pictures weren't the most flattering. He's still a sexy Superman at least!
Man...this is another fairly lengthy post. Again.
Hope you are enjoying the fabulous weather today Fausto, Marc, Jessica, Cesar, Amanda (speaking of her-- where did she disappear to?), and all of the rest of the gang. I had a lovely stroll by the lakefront along with a nice wrap at a cafe. It was lovely.
Ta!
Said by: Kyle at June 30, 2006 04:09 PM
So, Jessica ate the melon in the pantry with a vibrator? What would Professor Plum or Ms. Scarlett do? I think there's a new Parker Brothers game afoot!
I'll be thinking of you this holiday weekend as I will be sitting naked by the pool in the Hollywood Hills with my assorted nuts :)
Great cast today guys!
Keep it safe, but kinky!

Fuck yeah Jessica Halem! You two need to strap her down and force her to do podcast upon podcast with you.
And Star Jones is the scariest looking bitch I've ever seen. She looks like a freakin' monster. She's the chupacabras!
