For a good portion of Jeff Nichols’?Midnight Special, we don’t know exactly?what?is going on but we can tell?something?is going on.

This week on the show, ScreenFish film analyst, Chris Utley, comic book aficionado Arnaldo Reyes?and Steve Norton take on the BIGGEST superhero battle ever [so far, at least], DC’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice!

Long ago, in our galaxy here on Earth, George Lucas created a world that has spawned other worlds and inspired our imaginations, challenged us to think, and, for some, encouraged our faith. In 1977, that film (and this author) came into existence, changing what we know about movies, special effects, and science fiction. Last year,…
