Added 2025-05-01 04:00:12 +0000 UTCIt’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s a new commentary series!!!
We’re kicking off our Supermen commentary series with—what else—Richard Donner’s 1978 film Superman (or Superman: The Movie).
Topics include: tickling, dustiness, Kryptonian interior design, bit commitment, salami cops, Otis, and more!
Note: We are watching the theatrical cut of the film.
Note: There is a player error in the middle and we need to restart. We give a timecode for the restart.
Note: This is a horny episode!
Film starts at 7:20.

This may be the horniest episode I’ve ever listened to and I’m fucking here for it. David sounds drunk the entire episode and Grif an Ben decided to just buy in and the whole thing is unhinged. Fuck I needed it to cause things have been rough and this made me burst out laughing so many times

2025-05-16 00:15:50 +0000 UTCRichard Donner’s episode of Gilbert Gottfried’s podcast gives a lot of insight on the making of this movie. Definitely recommend listening to it—the SUPERMAN stuff starts around 13:00 into it

2025-05-13 03:01:39 +0000 UTCRe the real estate villain plot, the same idea is recycled into the truly wild Return of Captain Invincible, starring Alan Arkin as the radio-era Nazi fighting hero who returns to defeat his arch enemy Mr. Midnight (Christopher Lee). Oh, it’s also kind of a musical.

2025-05-08 02:03:16 +0000 UTCIn lieu of a traditional merchandise spotlight, Griffin could talk about the two contests DC Comics ran to promote the movie. The first was to win a walk-on role in the film. The second was to win a Superman Cape worn by Chris Reeve. https://www.cbr.com/superman-great-movie-contest-winners/

2025-05-08 02:00:01 +0000 UTCRe: John Williams, my favorite Superman music recording by far is the LA Philharmonic one that Gustavo Dudamel conducted, one of the rare times that an orchestra actually plays the damn thing fast enough for me—the same Gustavo Dudamel who was the inspiration (?) for Mozart in the Jungle, featuring last week’s guest Lola Kirke BOOM six degrees of Kevin Blankacon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqRQW1CFPDg

2025-05-04 18:06:25 +0000 UTCI followed along while watching the Max stream. It began with a 10 second tribute to Hackman. Classy. The quality of the stream? Shitty. #ineedtogetintophysicalmedia
