Podcasts about superman iv the quest

This week, Joel and Andy watch Superman IV: The Quest for Peace and talk about Cannon Films, the unhinged studio that made it.

There's a new Superman movie out this month—but when I heard that, my mind flew back 38 years to Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, a cinematic trainwreck of epic proportions. The plot was absurd, the budget was anemic, and Hollywood wisely took a long break from the franchise after that. But while the movie deserves all the ridicule it gets, the title stuck with me: The Quest for Peace. Because if you're a caregiver, you know exactly what that feels like. In this episode of Hope for the Caregiver, I invite my fellow caregivers to join me on that very journey—the often painful, sometimes hilarious, always sacred search for peace. Peace in the middle of sleepless nights, endless medical drama, strained relationships, and a soul stretched thin. I open up about a struggle many caregivers carry but rarely talk about: resentment. Whether it's being overlooked by family, dismissed by doctors, or just frustrated with God—or yourself—it eats away at us. Drawing from the words of C.S. Lewis, I discuss how forgiveness, anchored in God's grace, becomes a daily practice—not a feeling, and certainly not a one-time decision. I also continue my series on “30 Hymns Every Christian Should Know,” spotlighting Great Is Thy Faithfulness. Inspired by Lamentations 3, where Jeremiah finds hope in the wreckage of Jerusalem, this hymn—written by Thomas Chisholm, who lived with chronic illness—offers a powerful reminder that God's mercy meets us every morning, even when we can barely get out of bed. I play it from the “caregiver keyboard,” the one I use for Gracie, whose voice gives it a strength words alone can't capture. So, no, I'm not wearing a cape. I don't fly. But after 40 years as a caregiver, I've learned a few things about finding peace when everything around you is breaking. Join me for this honest, gritty, and grace-filled episode.

For the next few days, We here at the Youth Critic Podcast will be running a special retrospective on the Superman movies From Superman The Movie to Justice League (2021) in the lead up to the new Superman movie from Director James Gunn. For this Fourth Episode, I'm joined by Case Kellum from Town & Gown Players to talk about Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, why it looks so cheap, is there a great story there, and why it's cool that Superman is Multi-Lingual.

Celebrate the release of James Gunn's Superman with the wonderfully atrocious Superman IV: The Quest for Peace (1987). When Superman decides to rid the world of nuclear weapons, Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman) engineers a super-powered beefcake called Nuclear Man to take down the Man of Steel. Stupendously camp, outrageously cheap, and unbelievably fun, Taylor & Nick have plenty to obsess over this week. __________Taylor Zaccario…Host, Director, Producer, WriterNick Zaccario…Host, Director, Producer, Editor

No, wait! It's SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE!To gear up for the release of SUPERMAN, Steve and Justin are talking about the fourth installment of the original Superman film series—and Christopher Reeve's final flight in the world's most famous Speedo.And who better to take the reins for the big finale than Cannon Films, who, in the same year as QUEST FOR PEACE, also released the deep-bench sequels Death Wish 4 and American Ninja III. It's a cheap, flimsy whimper of an ending for the legendary franchise, and killed any other Superman movies for 19 years. Not even Lex Luthor could have done as much damage to the Man of Steel.BUY OUR MERCH!

Finishing Christoper Reeve's Superman series with the fourth film in the overall series. With the return of Lex Luthor and the introduction of ... Nuclear Man? Or Press-on Nails Man? Scratch Man? Not to mention the use of an overtly 80s punk nephew. This installment tried to capture imagination with such a low budget it couldn't live up to the earlier films Join Joe, Ken, Andy, and Dan as they put to rest the 80's Superman series and determine if it still holds up.

AKA CAVEMAN SUPERMAN: ORIGINS. After the ludicrously underwhelming Superman III, Christopher Reeve swore off the tights forever. However, a script for a fourth installment, one that would touch on topics he was passionate about, convinced him to give it another shot. What resulted was one of the most poorly-made and maligned comic book movies of all time. But we'd like to ask -- is it truly that bad? Come join Brian and Alec to find out as they reach the end of the Christopher Reeve era with SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE!

Cooper and Nolan are going up, up, and away this week, as they discuss SUPERMAN IV: THE QUEST FOR PEACE! Not only was this the movie that led to the downfall of Cannon Films, it also kept the Man of Steel off the silver screen for nearly two decades thanks to a forced storyline about the world's nuclear arms race. It's a heavy topic that the guys are NOT equipped to handle, which is why they've brought in a university professor with a P.H.D. in international relations (who also happens to be a HUGE DC comics fan) to provide an expert opinion. But don't worry, there's still all the usual silliness thanks to arguments about deep voiced children, Lois Lane's "faulty" memory, and whether or not Superman has a secret identity for his penis.  It's a quest for meaning that you're sure to enjoy; this episode (featuring a beer from Slake Brewing) is a super way to start your summer!

There's arguably no superhero in existence that has been reimagined, redefined, or reinterpreted more than Batman.  No matter how many times he's been rebooted, audiences are always willing to come back to Gotham City's greatest defender.  With so much Bat content out there, there's plenty to dissect, analyze, and of course, rank!  This podcast is dedicated to a surgical evaluation of Batman's history, with a focus on ranking several topics in the world of Batman, among other classic Bat themes and characters.Join hosts Daniel Cohen, Pop Break's former Film Editor, and Kris Ingersoll, co-host of the Media/Lit podcast, as they bring on several guests every month to share their passion for the one and only Dark Knight.  From Adam West to Robert Pattinson, no bat stone will be left unturned.  Bottom-line: If you're a Batman fan, this is required listening.We're one month away from a new Superman film, and the first theatrical release of the new DC Universe.  Before a new Superman graces the screen though, it's time once and for all we honor what came before, and rank every single theatrically released Superman film!We continue our yearlong theme of World's Finest by going back all the way to 1978 with the iconic first Christopher Reeve Superman movie directed by Richard Donner, all the way to 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and everything in between.  In this monster episode, we rank seven Superman films, which include (in chronological order); Superman.  Superman II.  Superman III.  Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.  Superman Returns.  Man of Steel.  And Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.  With this being such a big episode, we had to bring in a massive panel of returning guests, starting of course with the podcasting director of the Pop Break, Alex Marcus.  Also joining us, it's Alex's cohost on the new It's Tom-plicated Podcast, and he was a guest on the epic Christopher Nolan movie rankings episode, Manish Mathur.Also making their returns, he was on our recent Batman Allies Draft episode, it's pop break contributor, Ben Murchison.  And cohost of the flagship podcast of the Pop Break, the Socially Distanced Podcast, and the Anime X Pop podcast, it's Amanda Rivas.These six temporary Kryptonians come together to break down everything you could possibly want analyzed in a Superman movie.  It is a true nostalgic history lesson of all these movies.  We cover it all; the good, the bad, and the Nuclear Man.For Superman fans, this is a perfect precursor to next month's Superman movie!

Superman IV: The Quest for Peace Full Reaction Watch Along:   / thereelrejects   Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order Andrew & Tara continue their SUPERMAN MARATHON in preparation for James Gunn's Superman as they hunker in for their Superman IV: The Quest for Peace Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! Join Andrew Gordon & Tara Erickson as they revisit Sidney J. Furie's ambitious 1987 capstone to the Superman saga, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. In a bid to rid the world of nuclear weapons, Superman (Christopher Reeve, Superman II, Somewhere in Time) addresses the United Nations—only to have his ideals mocked by Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman, The French Connection, Unforgiven), who escapes prison with his bumbling brother Lenny (Jon Cryer, Pretty in Pink, Two and a Half Men) and uses a strand of Superman's hair to create the unstoppable Nuclear Man (Mark Pillow). As nuclear arsenals surge and disaster looms, Superman must face his dark clone in a showdown of planetary stakes. Andrew & Tara break down every iconic moment—from the unforgettable scene where Superman gathers and hurls nuclear warheads into the sun, to the epic beachside duel with Nuclear Man on a wind-swept shoreline. Margot Kidder (Lois Lane, The Amityville Horror, Black Christmas) brings sparkle to every newsroom scene at the Daily Planet, joined by Jackie Cooper as Perry White (the world-weary editor from Superman, The People vs. Noah Drake) and Marc McClure as Jimmy Olsen (the ever-optimistic photographer of Superman II, Smallville). Don't miss Superman's daring roller-skate rescue of Lois, the UN nuclear debate, and the film's earnest message about hope and global unity.

Nobody sets out to make a bad movie. And yet, it happens. A lot. Especially when it comes to sequels. Hollywood can't resist going back to the well when a movie captures a passionate audience – and makes lots of money. But again and again sequels disappoint, and in some cases, can be so bad they kill a franchise. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate as it focuses on the most dreadful of duds, the most creatively bankrupt of flops, as we debate the Worst Movie Sequels. Films discussed: Speed 2: Cruise Control, Highlander 2: The Quickening, Space Jam: A New Legacy, Caddyshack II, Jaws: The Revenge, Halloween Kills, Basic Instinct II, Teen Wolf Too, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2, Staying Alive, Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, Grease 2, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Batman & Robin, Zoolander II, Spider-Man 3. Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Jim Czadzeck, Kate Racculia, and Kevin Dillon as they debate 16 of the most reviled movie sequels of all time.

"Destroy Superman!" This week we're talking about Cannon Films once again starting with the franchise-killing Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.

Tyler and Nathan bring back some of that Capes & Commentaries feels as they watch Superman IV together. They discuss it's shortcomings as well as the reasons behind it all. Plus in addition, after the "commentary" they give their thoughts in a spoiler heavy review of Deadpool & Wolverine.

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.

The fourth and final Christopher Reeve Superman movie finds him battling nuclear weapons and Nuclear Man! Gene Hackman returns for the movie that killed the Superman franchise for nearly twenty years. Even with Christopher Reeve himself contributing to the story, the presence of Jon Cryer and Mariel Hemingway, the movie suffers from an inconsistent tone and crazy plot choices. Is there anything redeeming about this movie at all? Check out what the guys think and let us know what you think of Superman IV: The Quest for Peace! Cinema Heroes YouTube Instagram

Nuclear Power. In the best hands, it is dangerous. In the hands of Lex Luthor, it is pure evil. In this episode Michael and Claire discuss a movie that's part morality tale, part ego trip and killed off the franchise for almost two decades. This is Superman's greatest battle. And it is for all of us in Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. At time of recording the Christopher Reeve-era Superman movies are available on HBO Max in the USA, and to rent or buy from most streaming services in the UK.

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 Episode Title ! 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...I would love to hear your thoughts on Superman II, Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut, Superman III & Superman IV: The Quest for Peace !CONTACT....
