    Ooh, we've got a live one here! The moment you've all been waiting for. It's all been leading up to this. On June 23, 1989, the course of cinema history was forever altered when Tim Burton's Batman was released and Batmania swept the nation. Wait'll you get a load of Keith Chow and Adam Starcaster reminiscing about the legendary film on its 30th anniversary. They talk about everything from the toys and merchandise to the Danny Elfman score and the classic Prince soundtrack. Adam also makes up a bunch of stuff that never happened (or did they?) -- including a mysterious video interview featuring actors who had not yet been cast in the Batman franchise. Do us a favor.

    Keith Chow and Adam Starcaster have finally made it to 1989! Unfortunately, they're not talking about Batman just yet. Instead, the first DC superhero movie of this landmark year -- which, coincidentally was also produced by Benjamin Melinker and Michael Uslan -- was The Return of Swamp Thing, a sequel to Wes Craven's original from 1982. The campy follow-up starred Heather Locklear as Abbie Arcane and brought back Dick Durock as Swamp Thing and Louis Jourdan as the evil Anton Arcane (even though he died a movie prior). Joining the cast is Superman II actress Sarah Douglas. They also spend some time lamenting the cancellation of the current incarnation of Swamp Thing on DC Universe and prepare for next week's Batman extravaganza.

    This week on DC TV Classics, Keith Chow and Adam Starcaster analyze the first incarnation of an extended DC Universe, 1984's Supergirl. Directed by Jeannot Szwarc, the Salkinds attempted to broaden the universe created in the Christopher Reeve Superman movies by exploring the adventures of his "cousin" Kara Zor-El. Starring Helen Slater in the title role and Faye Dunaway -- as the villainous witch Selena, Supergirl failed to meet the box office heights of its predecessors. Despite its box office struggles, the movie will go down in history as the first mainstream female superhero film, paving the way for current franchises like Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel as well as the Maiden of Might's own hit television series!

    Keith Chow and Adam Starcaster return to Metropolis to do an audio commentary for Superman III, the 1983 sequel starring Richard Pryor and Christopher Reeve. Widely regarded as the point when the Reeve Superman franchise took a downturn, Keith and Adam discover... it wasn't that bad. Together, they reassess the film's legacy: Like, how it inspired the plot to the '90s classic, Office Space. When it seemed to repurpose the Adam West Batcave. The horrific transformation of the main henchwoman into a robot. Also, the Clark vs. Bad Superman stuff is great, as is the chemistry between Reeve and Annette O'Toole as Lana Lang. Richard Pryor also gets a bad rap because Gus Gorman is an iconic character. He's just in the wrong movie. Speaking of rap, stay until the end when they perform the rap from Bobby Brown's Ghostbusters II theme song around the two-hour mark!

    After defining superhero cinema for a generation, the next DC Comics hero to hit the silver screen was.... Swamp Thing? Amazingly, the titular character of the cult horror comic from the 1970s -- and not, say Batman or Wonder Woman -- would be DC's follow-up to two Superman movies, though this one wasn't produced by Warner Bros. Pictures. Three-and-a-half decades later, Swampy is returning to mainstream prominence with his own live action series on DC Universe. On this episode, Keith Chow and Adam Starcaster return to audio commentary mode and watch the international cut of the Wes Craven-directed movie from 1982 for the first time.

    Keith Chow and Adam Starcaster pick up where they left off last episode as they revisit Metropolis in Superman II, the 1981 follow-up to the smash hit Superman! Often lauded as one of the best superhero sequels ever, Superman II was not without some issues. Though Christopher Reeve as Superman, Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor, and Margot Kidder as Lois Lane all returned for the sequel, the film had to deal with a lot of behind-the-scenes shenanigans that eventually took Richard Donner off the project until, 25 years later, Warner Bros. finally released the Donner Cut on home video in 2006. This week, Keith and Adam compare and contrast the different cuts and determine whether Superman II still holds up as a superhero sequel. Be sure to give it a listen and KNEEL BEFORE POD!

    DC TV Classics 29 - The CBS 'Justice League of America' TV Movie from 1997

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 3, 2017 58:17


    Twenty years before Justice League fizzled at the box office, another Justice League... failed spectacularly on DC TV. In 1997, CBS commissioned a pilot for a Justice League series that never went to air in the United States. Instead, bootleg copies circulated for years on the convention circuit as a curio for collectors, akin to Roger Corman's infamous Fantastic Four movie. The movie starred Matthew Settle as Green Lantern, Kimberly Oja as Ice, John Kassir as The Atom, Michelle Hurd as Fire, Kenny Johnston as The Flash, and David Ogden Stiers as Martian Manhunter, as the members of the JLA. And the Classics Crew dug up an old copy and watched it, so you don't have to! Before breaking down the CBS Justice League of America TV movie, the gang also give their thoughts on the current incarnation of the Justice League and ultimately compare the 1997 version to its 2017 counterpart.
