For the latest Everything Action Commentary, Zach and Chris are joined again by special guest Phil from Digital Pimp to watch another terrible comic book movie, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.In the final Superman film starring Christopher Reeve, the madmen at The Cannon Group acquired the rights to Superman, even though they were hemorrhaging money, and pitted the Man of Steel against a radioactive glam rock villain, Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow) as part of Lex Luthor's (Gene Hackman) scheme. Margot Kidder, Marc McClure, and Jackie Cooper return as Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, and Perry White, respectively, while Jon Cryer co-stars as Lex's nephew Lenny, and Mariel Hemingway plays the horny new editor of The Daily Planet, Lacy Warfield. While watching the movie, the guys discuss how it seems like Gene Hackman had no restrictions on his wardrobe or set design, how most of the movie is a wacky 80s sitcom, Nuclear Man's absurd weakness to darkness, the bonkers gym scene, and more.You can watch Superman IV: The Quest for Peace on Max.

It's amazing when one simple childhood toy is unearthed in the Basement and it proves capable of bringing back a life-changing childhood memory! Tom shares a milestone story prompted from treasures Julee pulls from a box marked “GLASS” -- there's no glass in it at all -- it's full of toys! This episode also features much discussion of the hit-or-miss nature of various movie series' fourth installments, some really fun impressions, vintage toys and a collection completed! Now in their forties, Julee and Tom Antonellis are reconnecting as brother and sister in THE MOST distant a socially-distant podcast can be in the United States. While recording on each coast (and seeing each other over FaceTime) all the way from Los Angeles (Tom) to Boston (Julee), they start unearthing the core lessons, laughs and connections of their childhood. Plus, Julee has to fight her fear of cobwebs while Tom enjoys the comfort of his office -- yet he CAN'T touch his beloved toys like she can. As their Instagram bio indicates -- @backthroughthebasementpod -- you can follow them there to see pictures of everything they unearth -- Tom & Julee (actors, comics, voiceover artists & siblings), children of the 80s, must go through all their toys and belongings in their parents' basement.

On the Show John Michael Beck Taylor, commonly known as Michael Beck, is an American actor, known for his role as Swan in the 1979 film The Warriors, and as Sonny Malone in Xanadu. He sits down with Fonseca and talks about Hollywood and his career. We talk about Baby Yoda, Picard Show (STAR TREK), Walking Dead again. The Most Iconic LEX LUTHOR Actors, Ranked 6. Jesse Eisenberg Jesse Eisenbrg's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Lex Luthor isn't exactly a fan favorite (though he's got his admirers to be sure), but it's hard to argue Eisenberg found a niche for Luthor as a demented wunderkind bent on manipulating the world's heroes into fighting each other. It's unclear what future if any Eisenberg's Luthor has on film, but he was last scene in a post-credits scene for Justice League in which he seemingly recruited Deathstroke to a big screen version of the Legion of Doom that may or may not ever come to fruition. 5. Jon Cryer When The CW first announced their decision to cast Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor in Supergirl, the skepticism ran deep. Four years after finishing his 12-season run on CBS's Two and a Half Men, the actor, who many still think of as Pretty in Pink's iconic, lovable, nerdy character Duckie, the actor took a huge risk in stepping into the villainous role. He may have played Lex Luthor's nephew Lenny in Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, but that movie wasn't — how should we put this? — good. 33 years later, could Cryer find redemption in returning to this universe and playing the corrupt billionaire? Absolutely. Cryer's take on the famous supervillain is much darker than what Gene Hackman did with the role. He's a lot closer to the comic book version of Luthor. But there is a sinister glimmer in this Luthor's eye here that is slightly reminiscent of Hackman's scenery-chewing glory. Let's be clear here, though: Cryer does not chew the scenery at all as Lex Luthor. This Lex is self-obsessed and self-important. But he is also an absolute sociopath. It's a challenge for any actor to portray someone this evil and still make him fun for audiences to watch. Somehow, Cryer is able to find the inner joy in bringing Luthor to life. And that sinister glimmer we referenced earlier makes Lex Luthor's ongoing conflict with Supergirl all the more entertaining to watch. 4. John Shea John Shea's charismatic Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman version of Lex Luthor was somewhat ahead of its time, posing Luthor as an Elon Musk style tech entrepreneur with his fingers on the pulse of cutting edge technology. But unlike the modern real world archetype he foreshadowed, Shea's Luthor had those same fingers spread into the criminal underworld as well. Shea's Luthor oozed confidence and friendly favor to the public, but behind the scenes his ruthless machinations and hatred of Superman colored his every action. Lois and Clark's Luthor followed an arc far different from most versions of the character, but at the same time presented one of the most complete pictures of Luthor's dual nature yet on screen. 3. Michael Rosenbaum Michael Rosenbaum played perhaps the scariest version live action version of Lex Luthor – because we saw him evolve from Clark Kent's friend to the nascent Superman's arch-enemy almost in real time. Rosenbaum's likable but increasingly cold Luthor was a major departure from previous well-known versions of the character like Gene Hackman's Superman: The Movie version. Oddly enough, Rosenbaum also portrayed the Flash in the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited animated series – and he also got a chance to portray a very different version of Luthor on that show as well in an episode where Wally West and Lex Luthor switch brains (a la Freaky Friday). The result is Rosenbaum doing his best version of Luthor impersonating the Flash, while JLU's Luthor Clancy Brown (remember that name) turns in a performance as Rosenbaum's Wally impersonating him – a classic bit of switcheroo. 2. Clancy Brown Unlike his Gotham City arch-criminal equivalent the Joker, Lex Luthor doesn't have a rich history of iconic voice portrayals that immediately spring to mind. But Clancy Brown's Luthor, whom he voiced from Superman: The Animated Series through Justice League Unlimited, breaks that mold. Brown's Luthor carried a snide edge that was clearly informed by Gene Hackman's Superman: The Movie performance (more on that later), but which went an extra mile in its vicious sarcasm. Brown's Luthor moved from the LexCorp boardroom into the Hall of Doom and eventually to deep space, seamlessly exuding Lex's confidence and arrogance in every context he was placed. 1. Gene Hackman Much like his heroic counterpart Christopher Reeve's good natured take on Superman, Gene Hackman's affable but diabolical robber baron/real estate developer version of Lex Luthor defined the character for a whole generation of fans in Superman: The Movie and its sequels. Hackman's portrayal is worlds apart from some versions of the character – he's not exactly the mad scientist supervillain type – but his Lex still informs aspects of Luthor in both comic books and subsequent film portrayals, where his grandiosity and borderline madness often come through – along with his off-beat humor. Now Hackman's Luthor has another, more direct legacy in Superman media. John Cryer, who played Lex Luthor's nephew Lenny Luthor alongside Hackman in Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, will now portray Lex Luthor on CW's Supergirl.

They make you mad, they make you want to scream, they make you want to rip your hair out. No we aren't talking about this weeks panel, we are talking about THE MOST ANNOYING CHARACTER. Join Damon Shaw, Mike Ortiz, Jason Thompson, Seth, Barker and Lauren Becker as they pit the irritating against the asinine. Can Deanna Troi sense a victory, or will Hawkman fly away with a win. Lenny Luthor damn near killed Superman (the franchise at least) but can be beat Jar Jar Binks, who almost killed Star wars? Can Ace Ventura find victory against Scrappy Do. Will Anakin Skywalker devour the Brownies? Or will Michael Scott pound a Short Round. That's what she said.
