Shat the Movies: 80's & 90's Best Film Review

This week, Shat the Movies finally kneels before Zod—and listener Chris Lloyd—by reviewing Superman II (1980), the sequel that gave us Terrence Stamp's immortal sneer, Margot Kidder's bathrobe thirst, and Christopher Reeve's blue-eyed beefcake perfection. This episode dives headfirst into the Donner vs. Lester debate, asks how much ejaculate the Fortress of Solitude can handle, and questions Lois Lane's true intentions once Clark Kent drops the glasses—and the powers. Gene and Big D examine everything from Superman's bizarre morality and dubious revenge tactics to the wildly impractical Phantom Zone prison system. They also debate if memory-wiping kisses and cellophane logos deserve a place in superhero canon and why Perry White's newsroom features a threatening photo of Bill Cosby. Whether you're team “Mormon Dad Superman” or “Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex,” this episode delivers laughs, awkward truths, and more than a few inappropriate questions about Kryptonian sex. Plot Summary After banishing Kryptonian rebels General Zod, Ursa, and Non to the Phantom Zone, Superman continues his life as Clark Kent—until a hydrogen bomb explosion in space releases the trio. Landing on Earth, they gain Superman's powers from the yellow sun and quickly set their sights on global domination. Meanwhile, Lois Lane grows suspicious of Clark's identity, prompting him to reveal his secret and sacrifice his powers to be with her. But when Zod and his cronies begin wreaking havoc—and Lex Luthor joins their side—Superman must reclaim his abilities and protect humanity. The final showdown brings the villains to the Fortress of Solitude, where Superman uses brains over brawn to save the world, while also redefining the meaning of romantic boundaries with a memory-erasing kiss.

The Spirit and the NationsIsaiah 42:1In the troubled, crime-ridden city of Metropolis, citizens felt defeated and had little expectation of their plight improving. Lex Luthor had his rich & powerful hand in everything, including the police. Who could ever deliver them from their peril? They knew they were a lost cause. That is, until a certain extraterrestrial, caped being flew into town. Emblazoned on his chest was a striking symbol that brought exactly what they were waiting for. “The symbol of the House of El means hope.” Superman brought hope because of his double-edged justice: he punished the wrongdoers while saving the victims.When God delivered hope to His people, it was found in His perfect justice. How does He do it? Who can receive it? Tomorrow is Pentecost Sunday. We will hear about the Hope for all nations and how He can deliver us from our peril.

Alongside superheroes, supervillains, too, have become one of today's most popular and globally recognizable figures. However, it is not merely their popularity that marks their significance.

From the ice-planet origin of Kal-El and his upbringing as mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent (Christopher Reeve, Somewhere in Time, Deathtrap), to his first heroic rescue of Lois Lane (Margot Kidder, The Amityville Horror, Black Christmas) atop a perilous helicopter and the iconic flight over Metropolis, this film defined comic-book cinema.

Jackie Cooper (veteran of The Bowery Boys series and The People vs. Noah Drake) anchors the Daily Planet as Perry White, and Glenn Ford (star of Gilda, Blackboard Jungle) moves hearts as Jonathan Kent. Don't miss our breakdown of every unforgettable moment—from the desert missile test and Lois's rooftop revelation to Superman's climactic airplane rescue and victorious return to the skies!

Go Check Out Ben's Game The Cast List:  https://www.amazon.com/KESS-Trivia-Co... James Gunn's Superman (2025) trailer is here — and it's sparking major box office predictions! On today's episode of The Kristian Harloff Show, we break down the official trailer for Superman, discuss the bold new direction of the DC Universe, and ask the big question: Can this movie finally push the DCU past the $1 billion mark? David Corenswet suits up as Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan steps in as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult brings a chilling Lex Luthor to life. With a stellar supporting cast including Milly Alcock as Supergirl and Nathan Fillion as Guy Gardner, this film blends heart, humor, and heroism. But will that be enough to launch a new era of DC success? We also cover: ➡️ Marvel Television's new approach to Disney+ series – fewer shows, tighter budgets, and multi-season potential ➡️ Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning reviews: Is this really the franchise's final send-off? ➡️ New Masters of the Universe set footage reveals a possible Beast Man sighting – full breakdown of the cast and behind-the-scenes updates

Case and Jmike are joined by Logan Crowley to discuss one of the few times where Superman is the underdog in the story, when he crossed over with the Silver Surfer!   Overview In the latest episode of the podcast, hosts Case Aiken and Jmike Folson welcome guest Logan Crowley to discuss the recently published DC versus Marvel omnibus, centering on the 90s crossover story featuring Silver Surfer and Superman. The hosts delve into character power dynamics, plot setups, and the comic's creative team while highlighting their appreciation for artists like Ron Lim and writers like George Perez. As the discussion unfolds, they explore the narrative twists involving characters like the Impossible Man and Mr. Mxyzptlk, engaging in debates about iconic character matchups and the significance of their unique abilities. The episode concludes with reflections on the crossover's implications, Logan's upcoming podcast launch, and an invitation for listeners to engage with their online community.   Notes Introduction and DC vs Marvel Omnibus (00:00 - 09:43) Case Aiken and Jmike Folson welcome Discord community member Logan Crowley as guest Discussion focuses on recently published DC versus Marvel omnibus The group plans to discuss Silver Surfer Superman crossover from the 90s Logan mentions it feels surreal to be on the podcast as a fan Ron Lim highlighted as perfect artist for Silver Surfer comics George Perez noted as writer for this issue (though the hosts prefer his art to his writing) Logan shares touching personal story about meeting George Perez at a convention Comic Setting and Character Power Levels (09:43 - 19:59) The comic features 90s 'Triangle era' Superman (post-Crisis, post-death) Superman is at his weakest power level compared to extremely powerful Silver Surfer Creative team: George Perez (writer) and Ron Lim (artist) Comic establishes two separate realities (Marvel and DC as different multiverses) The Contessa appears instead of Lex Luthor (specific to this Superman era) Silver Surfer's immense power emphasized - 'strides light year after light year in mere seconds' Silver Surfer discovers mysterious, rapidly evolving planet that shouldn't exist Plot Setup and Character Situations (19:59 - 29:44) Superman finds himself apparently on Krypton (with John Byrne-style mushroom dress designs) Silver Surfer crash lands in Metropolis and causes destruction with his powers Superman's powers begin to fade due to mental blocks related to the red sun Superman realizes he's not actually on Krypton and his powers return Introduction of Klert the Super Skrull as Superman's opponent (though it's a fake-out) Discussion of how the 90s-era Superman depiction differs from other versions Surfer in the Fortress and Character Revelations (29:44 - 39:35) Silver Surfer enters what appears to be Superman's Fortress of Solitude The Fortress attacks Surfer, first formally then with humor Mix of Fortress of Solitude and Batcave elements (dinosaur robot, giant coin) Superman realizes he's not actually fighting the real Super Skrull Brief glimpse of 'spaghetti-headed aliens' reveals the deception Superman punches 'Super Skrull' while shouting 'Game over imp' - suspecting Mr. Mxyzptlk Silver Surfer discovers Metropolis is bottled like the city of Kandor

The Good Brothers wrap up their Elseworld's Finest Month the right way, with a gargantuan team-up between the Dark Knight and the Man of Steel to battle Lex Luthor and an army of DC Comics villains in the DC Animated direct-to-video feature "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies." The hosts chat about the adaptation from the source material from writer Jeph Loeb and artist Ed McGuinness, necessary departures from the source and how the plot does nothing to disguise itself as anything but an old-fashioned superhero story. Liam & Cal also discuss the choice from Andrea Romano to cast many voices from Batman The Animated Series and Superman The Animated Series in familiar featured roles as well as recognizable names from other favorite childhood media. The hosts also discuss the more cinematic soundtrack and the value of listening to pieces in isolation and so much more on this giant-sized edition of the DCAU Review!Please Consider Supporting the Podcast:Become a monthly or one time supporter of the pod at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://⁠⁠⁠⁠buymeacoffee.com/DCAUReview⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the pod on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Spotify or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and please consider leaving us a 5-star review⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our new YouTube Channel ⁠⁠⁠⁠Support the pod by picking up some merch at our shop ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://dcaureview.myspreadshop.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us: Twitter/X ⁠⁠@DCAUReview⁠⁠ Instagram ⁠⁠@DCAUReview⁠⁠Final Scores:Plot: Cal: 9/10 – Liam: 7/10Visuals/Animation: Cal: 9/10 – Liam: 9/10Music: Cal: 7/10 – Liam: 7/10Voice Acting: Cal: 10/10 – Liam: 10/10Bonus Point: NoneFinal Tally: Cal: 35/40 – Liam: 33/40

Grant Morrison on All-Star Superman

Surprise, friends. Grant Morrison joins the show for Superman Day! As the writer behind the seminal All-Star Superman, which observes its 20th anniversary this November, we cannot think of a better person to help us celebrate the Last Son of Krypton on his 87th birthday. Action Comics #1, featuring the first appearance of Superman by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, hit newsstands on April 18th, 1938. It is the source of everything you love about superhero comics. When Action Comics first arrived, America was in economic ruin. The world was about to enter its second great war. Despair was easily accessible, but two Jewish kids from Cleveland imagined a Man of Steel who could do the impossible and would act for those who could not act for themselves. As we look outside our windows in 2025, we see an incredible darkness, but we strive for a future beyond it. We can imitate the devils in the dark, or we can seek Superman, who reflects the best version of ourselves. Like most people, probably, we first encountered Superman through television and film; it was the All-Star Superman comics by Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely, Jamie Grant, Phil Balsman, and Travis Lanham that solidified our passion for the character. Those twelve issues showcased the joyous, awful, absurd, and adventurous universe Superman populated, making us fall in love with it and our own realm in return. As Morrison writes in Supergods, we are the stories we tell ourselves. In Superman, we see who we've been, who we are, and who we could be. We're positively chuffed to chat Superman with Grant Morrison. We discuss their approach to the character in All-Star Superman and how it differs from the version they wrote in JLA, Action Comics, Final Crisis, and other stories. We discuss the significance of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and what it means for Grant and others to extend their great idea. We talk about Lois and Clark, Lex Luthor, Samson, and Atlas, and Grant Morrison reveals their next big comic project somewhere along the line. Continue our conversation with Grant Morrison by visiting their Website, Substack, Instagram, and Bluesky. This Week's Sponsor: We're sponsored by 2000 AD, the greatest comic you're not reading! Within its pages is a whole universe of characters, from Judge Dredd and Strontium Dog to Rogue Trooper, Shakara, Halo Jones, and the poor sods slogging across the Cursed Earth in The Helltrekkers. Get a print subscription at your door every week - and the first issue is free! Or subscribe digitally, get free back issues, and download DRM-free copies of each issue for just $9 a month.
