Jamie welcomes the illustrious Jake Flores to the program to discuss Richard Donner's very eighties take on A Christmas Carol, 'Scrooged' (1988). In this modern retelling, Bill Murray stars as Frank Cross, a selfish and greedy TV executive who cares only for his bottom line, until he is visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve, who...you know the drill. We discuss the movie's insanely stacked cast (Bobcat Goldthwait, Carol Kane, David Johansen of the New York Dolls!), its take on corporate media, and its political message. Is A Christmas Carol revolutionary, or merely reformist? Plus: What our boy Marx thought of Charles Dickens.

Scrooged (1988) is an American Christmas fantasy black comedy directed by Richard Donner and written by Mitch Glazer and Michael O'Donoghue. Inspired by Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, it offers a metafictional modern retelling starring Bill Murray as Frank Cross, a cynical TV executive preparing a live broadcast of A Christmas Carol who is visited by ghosts on Christmas Eve. The supporting cast includes Karen Allen, John Forsythe, Bobcat Goldthwait, Carol Kane, Robert Mitchum, Michael J. Pollard, and Alfre Woodard.Produced on a $32 million budget and filmed in New York City and Hollywood from December 1987 to March 1988, the film marked Murray's return after a four-year hiatus following Ghostbusters. Production was turbulent due to creative clashes between Murray and Donner, though the film featured numerous celebrity cameos, including Murray's brothers. Marketed heavily around Murray's ghost-themed persona, Scrooged was released November 23, 1988, grossed over $100 million worldwide, and earned an Oscar nomination for Best Makeup. Though critics were mixed, it has since become a Christmastime staple and is often cited as an unconventional or ahead-of-its-time holiday classic.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

It's Die Hard on the streets! This week on DIE HARD ON A BLANK we're discussing Richard Donner's 2006 action-thriller/character study 16 BLOCKS, a film that some fans consider an alt-universe DIE HARD sequel! To get to the bottom of this we enlisted special guest Mitchell Beaupre, head of editorial at Letterboxd and an avowed 16 BLOCKS (and FREEJACK) fan! Aging, alcoholic New York City detective (Jack Mosley) is a depressed deadbeat waiting for death when he's given an unwanted but seemingly routine assignment: to transfer petty criminal Eddie Bunker (Mos Def) from a jail cell to court, where he is planning to testify to a grand jury. However, after he saves Eddie from an assassination attempt, Jack comes to discover that everyone – including his own NYPD colleagues - seem to want Eddie dead. In dire need of redemption, Jack becomes determined to get Eddie to court on time, no matter what the cost or the consequences… The guys discuss the abundant DIE HARD DNA (and 48 HRS connections) and place this performance in the wider context of Bruce Willis' career. They discuss the historic importance of LETHAL WEAPON-helmer Dick Donner making a DIE HARD-adjacent movie, and examine the film's thematic interests, tonal inspirations, and ultimate ambitions. They discuss the film's supporting cast, including Mos Def/Yasiin Bey as the interestingly named ‘Eddie Bunker', podcast favorite David Morse as corrupt cop Frank Nugent, and David Zayas as the trigger-happy Bobby Torres. Awards are dispensed in the ‘Die Hard Oscars' and as always events culminate with the ‘Double Jeopardy Trivia Quiz', where the scores can really change!TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqffzRFzdcoAt the time of release, 16 BLOCKS is streaming on Hoopla in the US and is available to rent or buy on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV/iTunes, YouTube, Fandango and all the usual platforms!

Special episodes happen on the regular around here, but this one is something extra special: our live recording right after a screening of the 1988 holiday classic, Scrooged! We gathered an amazing audience at the Oriental Theatre to watch the movie and have a chat about Bill Murray's performance as Frank Cross, the youngest network president in television history who's got a long night ahead of him.Does this four-decades-old film still hit? We tackled that question, along with some fun facts about Murray's acting hiatus after Ghostbusters and his on-set conflicts with director Richard Donner. You'll also hear us dive into why this is a "very pro-therapy movie" and debate who should play the Frank Cross role if the movie were cast today. Our audience was eager to share their opinions as well and compete in Bill Murray trivia for truly impressive prizes. including an IBC towel and an autographed (possibly broken) VHS player! Grab some popcorn and enjoy this fun, chaotic celebration of an '80s holiday favorite.#####Cinebuds is sponsored by Joe Wilde Garage Door Company.

Welcome to the Video Store Podcast.It's Christmas movie season but not everyone wants peppermint sweetness and cozy small-town charm. Some of us want our holiday movies filled with explosions, heists and a whole lot of chaos.This week on the Video Store Podcast, I'm spotlighting four Christmas movies that trade twinkling lights for trouble. Reindeer Games (2000)Reindeer Games is a crime thriller set days before Christmas. When Rudy Duncan (Ben Affleck) is released from prison his only goal is to get home for Christmas. But when his cell-mate dies, Rudy steps into the man's shoes to meet his mysterious and beautiful pen pal, Ashley (Charlize Theron).One bad decision later and Rudy is trapped in a violent casino-robbery plot run by Ashley's unstable “brother,” Gabriel (Gary Sinise). With no options, Rudy is forced deeper into the operation and nothing is what it seems as alliances shift and lies are uncovered. Reindeer Games brings crime, plot twists and holiday mayhem together in one memorable movie.Batman Returns (1992)Tim Burton's Batman Returns is set against a dark, gothic backdrop of Gotham City during the Christmas season. Batman Returns introduces two iconic villains who become the city's newest threats. The first is Oswald Cobblepot, The Penguin, a physically deformed man who was abandoned by his wealthy parents and raised in the city's sewers by penguins. The second is Selina Kyle, Catwoman, pushed to her limit by evil businessman Max Shreck.Michelle Pfeiffer is the definitive Catwoman, seductive, broken and electric in every frame. Danny DeVito's Penguin is a grotesque and disfigured man, a departure from the comics. Christopher Walken adds a sinister element as the businessman Max Shreck.Tim Burton's vision partnered with Danny Elfman's haunting score creates a mesmerizing Christmas classic set in Gotham City.The Long Kiss Goodnight (1996)Samantha Caine (Geena Davis) lives a quiet life as a schoolteacher until a car crash triggers memories of her past life as a deadly government assassin.Samantha hires private detective Mitch Hennessey (Samuel L. Jackson) to help her uncover her past and together they set out to find the truth. Their adventure is full of gunfights, treachery, and some of the best buddy-dynamic chemistry of the '90s. Davis transforms from warm suburban mom to hard-boiled operative with shocking believability and Jackson delivers one of his funniest, most charismatic roles.Written by Shane Black and directed by Renny Harlin, The Long Kiss Goodnight mixes holiday atmosphere with espionage to create one of the 90's most underrated action movies.Lethal Weapon (1987)Lethal Weapon redefined the buddy-cop genre and set the standard for all future buddy-cop movies. Set at Christmastime in Los Angeles, the movie pairs veteran detective Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) with newcomer Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson). Their investigation into a young woman's suspicious death spirals into a violent clash with drug traffickers and the psychotic Mr. Joshua (Gary Busey).Lethal Weapon is full of heart, which is what you want in a Christmas movie. Riggs who is spiraling out of control from grief and Murtaugh, a grounded family man, form a bond that is convincing from start to finish. Also written by Shane Black, Hollywood's king of Christmas action movies and directed by Richard Donner, Lethal Weapon blends holiday themes with explosive action, dark humor, and iconic one-liners. Lethal Weapon is on of my favorite Christmas action movies.If you're looking for Christmas movies that are filled with action, these four belong at the top of your December movie list.Thanks for visiting the Video Store.

2025 has been the Year of Superman, and Missing Frames has been celebrating James Gunn's new film by sitting down with some of the writers, artists, and actors who help make the Man of Steel so special. Past conversations have included comic legends Dan Jurgens, Mark Waid, Tom King, and Phillip Kennedy Johnson, reflections on Richard Donner's iconic film with Lauren Shuler Donner, and even a chat with Ma Kent herself, Neva Howell.Today's guest is another incredible talent: Jonah Lees, who appears in Superman as Dean Farr, one of Lex Luthor's LuthorCorp cronies, alongside his real-life twin brother, Christian. But Jonah's career extends far beyond Metropolis. A highlight of the conversation is his work with Richard Linklater and Ethan Hawke on Blue Moon, as well as his recent portrayal of John Lennon in the Brian Epstein biopic Midas Man. An actor, songwriter, musician, and director, Jonah is a multifaceted creative whose range is as impressive as it is exciting. What begins as a Superman celebration quickly becomes a love letter to many shared passions: Superman, Richard Linklater, and The Beatles.

Dirigida por Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine, Cruce de caminos), Roofman: un ladrón en el tejado se inspira en hechos reales para reconstruir la insólita historia de Jeffrey Manchester, un delincuente meticuloso y casi invisible que logró robar decenas de restaurantes accediendo por los tejados y ocultándose en falsos techos. Protagonizada por Channing Tatum, junto a Kirsten Dunst y Ben Mendelsohn, la película transita con soltura entre el thriller y la comedia negra, evitando la idealización del criminal para centrarse en su ingenio, su soledad y la fascinación mediática que despierta su figura. Cianfrance imprime un tono ligero y melancólico a la vez, convirtiendo el relato de robos en un retrato de la América invisible, donde el talento y la obsesión se confunden con la necesidad de desaparecer. Min 15: FRONTERA (2,5 estrellas) Frontera, dirigida por Judith Colell (Elisa K, Nosotras), es un poderoso thriller histórico que recupera un episodio apenas contado de la Segunda Guerra Mundial desde la perspectiva española: en 1943, cuando miles de judíos huían de la represión nazi por los Pirineos, un funcionario de aduanas con pasado republicano interpretado por Miki Esparbé, junto a María Rodríguez Soto y Asier Etxeandía, se enfrenta a la orden de bloquear su paso y decide, contra todo pronóstico y bajo constante riesgo, ayudarles a cruzar la frontera hacia una esperanza de libertad, desafiando al régimen franquista y poniendo en juego la seguridad de su familia y su pueblo. Min 22: REY DE REYES (2,5 estrellas) Dirigida por el cineasta surcoreano Jang Seong-ho, Rey de Reyes es una ambiciosa película de animación coproducida entre Corea del Sur y Estados Unidos que reinterpreta la vida de Jesucristo a partir de La vida de Nuestro Señor, el cuento que Charles Dickens escribió para su hijo, combinando respeto por el texto original con una puesta en escena épica y accesible al público familiar. Con las voces protagonistas de Oscar Isaac como Jesús, junto a Kenneth Branagh, Uma Thurman y Mark Hamill, la película articula un relato clásico apoyado en un cuidado apartado visual que mezcla sensibilidad oriental y espectacularidad occidental, poniendo el acento en valores universales como la compasión, el sacrificio y la redención. Min 27: BALEARIC (2 estrellas) Dirigida por Ion de Sosa (Sueñan los androides, Mamántula), Balearic es una arriesgada fábula cinematográfica que mezcla drama, suspense y crítica social dentro de una narración que transcurre en la víspera de San Juan, cuando un grupo de adolescentes —interpretados por Lara Gallo, Elías Hwidar, Ada Tormo y Paula Gala— decide colarse en la piscina de una lujosa villa y acaba atrapado por tres feroces perros que desatan un espiral de tensión. Min 29: LA VIDA FUERA (2,5 estrellas) Dirigida por Mario Martone (Leopardi, Il giovane favoloso), La vida fuera (Fuori) es un drama biográfico que reconstruye con delicadeza y pasión la vida de la escritora Goliarda Sapienza, interpretada por Valeria Golino, acompañada por Matilda De Angelis, Elodie y Corrado Fortuna, en un relato que transcurre en la Roma de 1980 y se centra en la detención de Sapienza tras un acto impulsivo, su paso por prisión y el profundo vínculo que forja con jóvenes reclusas que cambiarán su visión sobre la vida y la escritura, empujándola a recuperar la alegría de vivir y el impulso creativo que la definió como una de las voces literarias más originales de Italia. Min 32: FRAGMENTOS (2,5 estrellas) Fragmentos es un drama psicológico rodado íntegramente en Lanzarote que explora las grietas emocionales de una familia contemporánea a través de la mirada introspectiva de Emma Suárez, en el papel de una madre cuya vida aparentemente estable se resquebraja tras un accidente que la obliga a enfrentarse a sus recuerdos, duelos no resueltos y relaciones tensas con su entorno. Min 34: REESTRENO DE LOS GOONIES. 40 aniversario Con motivo de su 40º aniversario, Los Goonies —la entrañable aventura juvenil dirigida por Richard Donner y producida por Steven Spielberg, protagonizada por Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Martha Plimpton y un inolvidable reparto de jóvenes intérpretes— regresa a las salas en un reestreno que celebra la vigencia de una película que se ha convertido en objeto de culto generacional. MIn 40: LA PELI DE TU VIDA, CON PEDRO CENJOR Y hoy en la peli de tu vida, cedemos el altavoz de Estamos de Cine a otro directo de la tierra. Este experimentado, toledano, miembro de la Asociación de productores Audiovisuales de CLM, con los que estuvimos hace una semana en Madrid para apoyar las posibles candidatos de nuestra comunidad de cara a los próximos Goya.

En plena Gran Vía, en la oficina de Promoción Turística de CLM, nos desvelaba por qué "Los Inúticos", de Federico Fellini, del año 1953, es el título que marcó su amor por el cine. Min 41: BSO ESPECIAL CENTENARIO DE JACK LEMMON La sección BSO de esta semana se convierte en un viaje muy especial para celebrar el centenario de Jack Lemmon, uno de los actores imprescindibles de la historia del cine. A través de un recorrido musical por su filmografía, repasamos algunas de las bandas sonoras más emblemáticas asociadas a sus películas, deteniéndonos en títulos tan representativos como Mr. Roberts, Días de vino y rosas, Irma la dulce, La extraña pareja o El apartamento. Un homenaje sonoro que permite redescubrir no solo la versatilidad interpretativa de Lemmon, sino también cómo la música acompañó y definió el tono de una carrera que supo moverse con brillantez entre la comedia, el drama y la sátira, y que sigue resonando con fuerza cien años después.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas and can you hear what I hear? I hear it's after Thanksgiving now and I need to fit in some retro review of movies that could really be Christmas movies, just in an action movie's clothing. In this episode, we find “Lethal Weapon” first under the Christmas tree. I mean, the movie has a Christmas song playing over its opening credits for God sakes! “Lethal Weapon” was a surprise action hit in 1987 that paired Mel Gibson with Danny Glover as L.A. detectives Riggs and Murtaugh. The movie started a trend of hundreds of copycat buddy-cop movies faster than Santa deliver presents on Christmas. The “fun” starts in the movie when the daughter of an old Vietnam buddy of Murtaugh's is found dead. As Riggs and Murtaugh investigate into the death further, they uncover a network of bad little elves delivering drugs from overseas for all the bad little boys and girls. All this happening while Murtaugh has to deal with Riggs' reckless, death wish behavior over the death of his wife. Have a Holly Jolly Christmas with this movie! Is this a Christmas movie? Find out on this episode of Movies Merica! “Lethal Weapon” also stars Gary Busey, Mitchell Ryan, Tom Atkins, Darlene Love, Traci Wolfe, Jackie Swanson, Damon Hines, Ebonie Smith, Mary Ellen Trainor, Steve Kahan, Jack Thibeau, Grand L.

Es este episodio de Una Vida de Cine nos adentramos en una de las películas más inquietantes y elegantes del cine de terror: La profecía, dirigida por Richard Donner y protagonizada por un imponente Gregory Peck. Una historia que no necesita sangre ni sustos baratos para dejarte helado. Aquí el miedo viene en forma de susurros, de miradas, de preguntas que nadie quiere responder… y de un niño que nunca llora. 📽️ Hablamos de escenas míticas, de muertes que todavía se te quedan grabadas, del poder del mal cuando se disfraza de inocencia. Pero también de cómo envejece una peli así, de lo que sentimos al verla ahora, y de por qué sigue siendo tan perturbadora casi 50 años después. Un programa muy especial, con tertulia, recuerdos personales, y la confesión de que este título es, para mí, uno de los grandes del género. Y ojo: dejamos caer la posibilidad de volver pronto con un especial dedicado a sus secuelas. Porque el mal nunca muere… solo cambia de forma. 🎧 Dale al play, ponte cómodo… y acompáñanos en este viaje a las puertas del infierno. Es por ti, Damien… es todo por ti.

This week on Totally 80's and 90's Recall, Dave, Rob, and Kurt kick off the Christmas season with a look back at Scrooged from 1988—a darkly funny and totally 80s reimagining of A Christmas Carol. Starring Bill Murray as Frank Cross, a cold-hearted TV executive who learns the true meaning of Christmas through a surreal series of ghostly visits, the movie blends sharp satire with slapstick chaos. The guys dive into Murray's perfectly unhinged performance, the film's biting take on holiday commercialism, and how director Richard Donner managed to balance heart and hilarity in a way that still hits decades later. From ghostly cab drivers to explosive TV specials gone wrong, Dave, Rob, and Kurt relive all the absurd moments that make Scrooged such a unique holiday staple. They also share behind-the-scenes trivia, favorite quotes, and their favorite moments in the movie. Whether you remember catching it in theaters or on VHS, this episode is a festive deep dive into one of the most delightfully twisted Christmas comedies of the 80s.

Superman (2025) brings audiences a version of Lois Lane and Clark Kent who are clearly very hot for each other. But could they ever actually consummate their relationship?“Putting it delicately…do you…eat?”Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Lois LaneWelcome to Does it Fly? After Dark, the podcast that puts your favorite pop culture concepts to the test…but this time in a slightly more adult setting. That's right, for this episode, we were live in front of an audience (at Mission Brewery in San Diego, California) with our brilliant friends Rosie Knight and Jason Concepcion of I Heart Media's X-Ray Vision podcast. Honestly, we needed all the help we could get to discuss the hot button issue of the moment: how is it possible for Superman and Lois Lane to have sex?Look, anyone who watched Rachel Brosnahan and David Corenswet as Lois and Clark on screen in James Gunn's brilliant Superman movie this year absolutely could feel the heat coming off those characters from the screen. So it's not “how COULD they” so much as it is “seriously, HOW could they?” As we all know, Kryptonians are made of, um, harder stuff than humans, and folks have spent the better part of 80 years quietly asking how Superman and Lois can be intimate without serious injury to the human part of the equation.Sure, there aren't many actual scientific studies involving human to alien sex, so we examined this heat-vision hot topic from all positions…sorry…angles in a raucous, slightly more R-rated format than usual. Check it out, but beware…this episode contains adult themes and strong language!Watch the video version here! https://youtu.be/4E3Zc3uT97MThis episode of Does it Fly is brought to you by Upper Deck. Fleer Brilliants Superman shines the light on Superman and Metropolis in a bright and brilliant new way!Whether it's the 90-card base set on rainbow foil board featuring art by some of the greatest artists in Superman history or highly collectible inserts like “Classic Covers,” “Last Son of Krypton,” “World of Metropolis,” Truth, Justice, and a Batter Tomorrow” or the super rare “Powered by the Sun” cards, Fleer Brilliants Superman is the ultimate tribute to the Man of Steel and his friends, family, and foes.Head to upperdeckstore.com to start your collection, today!FURTHER VIEWINGMuch of what prompted our discussion about Clark Kent and Lois Lane actually getting down to business came from the radiation burns level hot chemistry that co-stars David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan have on screen in James Gunn's Superman (2025). You can now watch this on HBO Max if you need further proof. But also!Let's also refer you back to Richard Lester and Richard Donner's Superman II (1980) in which Clark (Christopher Reeve) temporarily gives up his powers to be with Lois (Margot Kidder) and there's a pretty sensual moment of the two of them in bed together in the Fortress of Solitude. That being said, Clark was a “normal man” there, but the fact that he had to give up his powers in order to get there might be an indication.Mid-1990s TV series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman often featured their Lois (Teri Hatcher) and Clark (Dean Cain) in an ongoing will they/won't they fury of sexual tension (they eventually did). But the specific episode where they learn they can't have children together because of Clark's alien biology was the series finale, season 4, episode 22.And, of course, Smallville was a remarkably horny show and there's uh…several episodes dealing with the matter of Clark (Tom Welling) having sex with human women. But one in particular is season 7, episode 7, “Wrath” in which Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk) gains powers so Clark doesn't have to worry about holding back. But the real fun with Smallville is the long and winding and horny journey, so feel free to just wallow in Clark's awkwardness throughout.We also have fun with the question of the “kryptonite condom” raised by Kevin Smith's slacker comedy classic Mallrats.FURTHER READINGDo you want to delve a little deeper into the facts, concepts, and stories Hakeem and Tamara referenced in today's episode? Of course you do! Man of Steel, Woman of KleenexYou think we're the first people to consider this topic? Famed sci-fi and fantasy author Larry Niven first tackled this topic way back in 1969 (nice!). It's available online to read here.And in the Comics…For more than half of Superman's published history, it was more or less implied that he was pretty chaste. Aside from the major romantic players in his life like Lana Lang and Lois Lane, Superman has at various times been intimate with Maxima (a powerful alien who sees Supes as perfect to have kids with), Wonder Woman (during DC's “New 52” era and a fling which is almost certainly no longer canon), and others. But the real progression of his romance with Lois Lane, which eventually leads to the birth of their son, Jon, began in the mid-90s and Jon's birth and its aftermath are depicted in the Convergence: Superman and Lois and Clark limited series by Dan Jurgens and Lee Weeks which are pretty much the starting point for their modern/current relationship.WANT MORE FROM DOES IT FLY?The companion piece to this episode is our much more family-friendly examination of the concept of Superman getting his powers from the yellow sun of Earth.And for something not remotely sexy, we looked at the horrifying reality of the Joker toxin from Batman (1989) here.FOLLOW US!Stay in the loop!

For Liam, this one's personal: a formative film that helped shape his love of buddy movies and action cinema. We unpack the evolution of Riggs and Murtaugh's partnership, from antagonistic sparks in the first film to full-blown brotherhood here, and how that emotional core elevates the surrounding mayhem. We dig into Richard Donner's slick direction, Joel Silver's architectural in-jokes, the reverberating echoes of Shane Black's voice in the heavily re-written script, and the film's perfect cocktail of gunfights, jokes, and toilet-based suspense. Plus: the politics of apartheid-era villains, the joys of Joe Pesci's scene-stealing turn, and how this sequel helped codify the rhythms and tropes of the modern buddy action movie.

James Gunn's Superman (2025) is in cinemas right now, and is really good! It has a wonderful central performance by David Corenswet, and is as colourful as it is hopeful, and we need that right now. As I'm off this week, it felt like a good time to revisit the late Christopher Reeve's iconic performances in Superman II, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, Superman III & Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.Technically the first ever quadruple-bill episode (if you also count the Richard Donner cut of Superman II, which we do), as voted for by Patrons of this podcast for, on the history and legacy of Superman II, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, Superman III & Superman IV: The Quest for Peace ! The sequels to the previous episode on SupermanSUPERMAN II was inevitable after Richard Donner completed 75% of the movie, filmed at the same time as Superman (1978). His work on the sequel was halted during Superman's production, but as Superman flew into the box office and became a critical and financial success, the sequel was fired up again... and Donner himself was unceremoniously fired from the movie by the Salkinds, and replaced with Richard Lester; a move that didn't go down well with the cast and crew...SUPERMAN II: THE RICHARD DONNER CUT came about due to the open secret of Richard Donner's material existing in a vault somewhere. After a few legal issues, notably with the estate of Marlon Brando for the production of Superman Returns, a new 2001 DVD version of Superman also led to the discovery of 6 tonnes of unused, previously lost material shot by Richard Donner for Superman II. In an unprecedented (at the time) fan campaign to see Donner's cut, it was finally released to acclaim in 2006...SUPERMAN III is less of a Superman movie, and more of a comedy vehicle for the late, great Richard Pryor, but that didn't mean it was easy to get made. A lot of people were still annoyed at the Salkinds for their treatment of Richard Donner, including Christopher Reeve himself. Reeve almost didn't return as the iconic character, but changed his mind and relished playing Superman vs Superman (which was also almost the title of the movie), but in retrospect it would be a movie he wouldn't have too much fun with, despite the slapstick tone...SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE would only be made after the Salkinds sold the rights to The Cannon Group; a production company known for making low quality movies en masse to make as much profit as possible. Cannon's plan though was big franchises: they bought Superman with the intent of spending $36 million on Superman IV. They were also making Masters of the Universe, the first big screen adventure for He-Man. But Masters of the Universe's financial woes would drastically affect Superman IV, with disastrous consequences for the Superman franchise, and leading to a 19-year wait for Superman to return...This episode was originally released on 16th November 2023Mentioned in this episode:From the ArchiveThere's no new episode this week, so I thought you might be interested in revisiting this slightly older, but no less brilliant episode.

James Gunn's new SUPERMAN begins from the assumption that audiences already have a working knowledge of the Man of Steel's origin story, his super-skill set, and his romance with Lois Lane. Gunn's film benefits greatly from being able to skip past the basics, but it wouldn't have been possible without Richard Donner's franchise-launching blockbuster SUPERMAN, which codified those basics for the big screen. So this week we're spinning the planet backwards to 1978 and revisiting filmgoers' first introduction to The Last Son Of Krypton — who we don't properly meet until nearly an hour in because, as it turns out, there are about four different movies tucked inside SUPERMAN. We're joined by writer, podcaster, and Supes superfan Chris Klimek to discuss how it all holds together from a modern perspective, and whether Christopher Reeve's definitive performance is enough to overcome all the film's flaws, or just most of them. Then in Feedback, the SINNERS conversation lives on, with a listener detailing its many connections to another film that we considered for that pairing.  Please share your thoughts about either and all versions of SUPERMAN, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email or voice memo to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

On the one hand, the IMAX-driven spectacle of F1 is undeniably satisfying to watch on the big screen; on the other hand, we all walked out of Joseph Kosinski's second teamup with producer Jerry Bruckheimer unsure whether it qualifies as a movie and not just a sophisticated simulation thereof. Despite the star power of Brad Pitt and a plethora of familiar sports-movie tropes, there's a human element missing from F1 that left us all slightly perplexed, and which is thrown into even sharper relief when placed against the character-driven comedy of the other film in this pairing, TALLADEGA NIGHTS. But despite their drastically different points of view, the two share some uncanny similarities that we get into during Connections, from their shared narrative tension between team loyalty and individual glory, to a crash-and-burn approach to trauma, to a wallpaper-like view of corporate sponsorship. Then we take an extra lap on this racing pairing with a Your Next Picture show recommendation for the long-running Netflix docuseries F1: DRIVE TO SURVIVE.
