Jake + Mitch re-visit the majestic feature that started it all, Richard Donner's Superman: The Movie. With an all-star cast and incredible spectacle, the guys discuss the lasting impact of the comic book film that started it all. Along the way they hit a few notable topics:
.
- Is the run from '77 - '85 the original summer blockbuster renaissance?
- What's the secret to "fixing" future Superman projects?
- Could it be the best comic book cast set to screen?
.
With all that said, it all comes back to the convergence of fantastical IP storytelling and stunning filmmaking. And no matter where your allegiance lies, DC, Marvel, or otherwise, Superman: The Movie proves some work is just plain good and universally beloved.
