It's a change from our normal programming. Instead of Superman comics, Denis and David watch and talk over the movie Superman IV: The Quest For Peace. This is similar to an old (now defunct) podcast we did, called Two Dummies and a Dumb Movie. To prepare for reading about the 1992 Death of Superman comics, we watch the 2018 animated movie version of The Death of Superman!
