🌟 Our heroes kneel before Zod with Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, the alternate version of the 1980 sequel that restores the director's original vision 💫🦸♂️
Andrew hails this cut as a triumph of cinematic history, while Greg stands firm in defense of Richard Lester’s theatrical release, taking issue with Donner daring to touch his beloved original ⚔️🎬
Together, our heroes spotlight the emotional power of Marlon Brando’s Jor-El being brought back to the story, while also exploring the film’s romance, its controversial ending, and one of Greg’s favorite jokes that didn’t survive the cut.
So grab your crystals, dodge the Phantom Zone, and get ready to light up the dark… one alternate timeline at a time 🎬✨🪩🔦
