Hope...with an Asterisk (Superman, Revisionism and the Fragile Fire of Belief!)

In this raw and revealing episode of Coolest Geek Alive, Jesse wrestles with the complicated feelings stirred by the new Superman film, a movie that dares to rekindle hope while quietly rewriting the very myth it claims to honor. With brutal honesty and reverent fire, Jesse explores what it means to see a good man in a broken world, how easily our sacred stories are subverted, and whether flawed heroes are still worth showing up for. It’s not just a movie review—it’s a meditation on belief, betrayal, and the battle to keep the flame alive.
