What You Talkin’ ’Bout, Shannon | A Superman no one needed — and one that should’ve happened

Loading player...
Men Without Hats are back with a synthy love letter to the ’80s — and a masterclass in AABBCCDD rhyming.

Paulo reviews Airwolf before Airwolf , and we dig up an ’80s Superman TV show nobody asked for.
