“You've got ME? Who's got YOU?!?Lois LaneWith a new Superman movie now in theaters (James Gunn's aptly titled Superman) it's time to take a look at one of the biggest conundrums in all of popular culture. Just where do Superman's powers come from? While there have been conflicting explanations for this given by comics, TV shows, animated series, and movies through the decades, one point has taken hold pretty solidly for most of the character's eight-plus decades: many of Superman's powers come from the fact that he comes from a race of aliens who developed under a red sun, which means our more intensely radiant yellow sun charges up his cells and gives him his amazing abilities.The nature of Superman's powers had been addressed in different ways in the comics over the years (at one point, ALL Kryptonians were simply born with super powers, before explanations like Earth's lighter gravity, our yellow sun, and others were added to the mythos). But the first media adaptation that really tried to address the source of his powers came with Richard Donner's masterful Superman: The Movie (1978). In that film, no less than Marlon Brando as Jor-El patiently explains to the audience the ways a Kryptonian would adapt to Earth's environment and the powers one might get.Look, there's only so much realism we can expect with a character like Superman, who is more of an ideal to strive for than a hard science fiction character. But we dive into the science and the story, and also discuss the timeless vibes that make that first proper Superman movie such an enduring classic in this episode.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9jeGwHn57EFURTHER VIEWINGMuch of this episode's discussion was based around two of the best superhero movies ever made, Superman (1978) and Superman II (1980). While Christopher Reeve might be the most perfect piece of superhero casting ever, the other two movies in that franchise are uneven at best. But there's other Superman media that address the source of the Man of Steel's powers!While divisive, Zack Snyder's Man of Steel made a valiant effort to explain why Superman can do the things he does (including the yellow sun). And James Gunn's currently in theaters Superman (2025) leans heavily on the solar power angle. It's also just an absolute blast and the best superhero movie in years.FURTHER READINGKrypton and Its SunThere are two main ingredients in Superman's home planet that are said to contribute to his powers on Earth. One is that Krypton itself is habitable (and potentially with heavier gravity), and in order for that to be the case, it has to exist in the habitable zone of the star it orbits. Proxima Centauri B is one such world that has captured scientists' attention.The one more relevant to today's discussion is that Superman was born under a red sun, which makes Earth's yellow sun supercharge his cells. In Krypton's case, that's a dying star known as a red giant. Which brings us to…A quick guide to the different colors of stars. Although, as Hakeem points out, Earth's sun isn't yellow, but green! Eventually, it will turn red, but that's a problem none of us will be around to see.KryptochondriaWe all remember photosynthesis from elementary school, right? But in order for human (or animal in the case of Krypto the Superdog) cells to be charged up with solar radiation to the degree necessary for superheroics, cellular organelles and ribosomes would have to function differently. Also the amount of the neurotransmitter known as adenosine triphosphate (creatine devotees know all about ATP) it would take to generate the energy for super-feats is prohibitive.We confess that following Hakeem on the matter of the absorption spectrum is a little challenging, but don't just take our word for it! Failed Flying Techniques and More!Tamara gives us a red giant batch of story analysis and background info in this one, but because seeing is believing, some stuff is better watched than read. For more context on Superman: The Movie and the incredible effort it took to make you believe a man could fly, check out The Magic Behind the Cape (where we get the “best special effect of all” that Tamara quotes) and Front Projection 101. Also, somewhere on a Superman: The Movie Blu-ray extra that doesn't appear to be online, there is video evidence of the “dummy shot out of an air cannon” failed flying technique Tamara brings up, but we can't link it here!

Bram en Niels openen het café weer, in een gloednieuw jasje! Eigenlijk in een heel vertrouwd format, maar dan net even in een nieuw jasje. Super Café wordt namelijk met een mooi woord "episodical", wat wil zeggen: we maken een reeks afleveringen over één bepaald onderwerp, zonder daarbij rekening te houden met de actualiteit. Eigenlijk podcasts die je voor altijd een eeuwig kunt luisteren!Deze week, het weekend dat de nieuwe 'Superman' furore maakt in de bioscopen, starten we onze serie 'Superman: The Podcast' met, hoe kan het ook anders: 'Superman', ook wel 'Superman: The Movie' genoemd. Hoe zette regisseur Richard Donner de toon in zijn liefde voor de ultieme superheld? Hoe maakte Christopher Reeve de titelheld tot een absoluut icoon? En hoe zag de rommel op de set er exact uit? Bram en Niels doen het uit de doeken!
Up there! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Margot Kidder doing slam poetry for Christopher Reeve! In Richard Donner's Superman: The Movie, we see the best portrayal of Superman, Lex Luthor played by an actor who was just difficult (instead of fully evil), and innovative special effects that have aged a lot, but somehow aged wonderfully. Come fly away with us! Credits: Hosts: Jesse McAnally & Andrew DeWolf & Liz Esten Podcast Edited By: Nathan P.

Revisitamos, analizamos y discutimos la película SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE con Christopher Reeve de Richard Donner (1978).Fico Cangiano Jose MoralesAlexis Leon
Show notes provided by Joe PelusoTen days before Christmas, 1978 cinema fans of all ages were the recipients of a wonderful gift--"...the gift of flight". It was THE Christmas Season that delivered the granddaddy of all super-hero films--SUPERMAN:THE MOVIE. Come with us now as we break through the earthly bonds of time and space, and join your hosts James, Richie and Joe for a trek back to the late 1970's (Disco, Yankees World Championships, polyester, and incredible films) as they critique the film that made "you believe a man could fly". From the sterile surface of Krypton, to the rolling corn fields of Kansas, onto the concrete canyons of Metropolis, the guys relive the grand adventure that reintroduced The Man of Steel toa world much in need of an iconic hero. Superman/Clark Kent, Jor-El and Lara, Ma and Pa Kent, Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen, Perry White, Otis, Miss Teschmacher(!), and of course the villain everyone loves to hate--Lex Luthor--all brought to vivid life by skilled actors, and a visionary director; a cast of creatives that took the spawn of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and delivered an offering that would forever alter the genre of heroic cinema. The guys discuss all these aspects of the film, and more as they have a "super" time getting caught up in a wild comic book fantasy that continues to deliver the adventure, excitement, romance, and laughs nearly a halfcentury after its bombastic debut! I know I speak for James and Richie, when I say we had aKrypton-sized blast recording this special episode.. And we hope you will experience the same fun when you give it a listen. Just be sure to look up in the sky because as Lois Lane found out to her amazement after Superman rescues her for the first time--in SUPERMAN you always have "a friend".
"You'll believe a man can fly" the tagline for one of the highest rated superhero movies ever made about who I believe is the greatest superhero ever created! That's right, we are talking about the Richard Donner 1978, Superman: The Movie starring Christopher Reeve and this week also happens to be the premier of the new Superman movie directed by James Gunn! Superman and this film holds a special place in Alain's heart as he talks in its defense, but surprisingly, not without as few critiques of his own. We hope you enjoy a very special episode!

Un gros morceau cette semaine avec Superman: The Movie de Richard Donner! Pour complémenter, on regarde le documentaire sur la BD Pourquoi l'étrange Monsieur Zolock s'intéressait-il tant à la bande dessinée? d'Yves Simoneau et on parle de trois sorties récentes: Jurassic World: Rebirth, F1 et Mountainhead.
DC Comics's Superman franchise, based on the character of the same name created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in June 1938, has seen the release of various films since its inception.[1]The character debuted in cinemas in a series of animated shorts beginning in 1941 and was the protagonist of two movie serials in 1948 and 1950. An independent studio, Lippert Pictures, released the first Superman feature film, Superman and the Mole Men, starring George Reeves, in 1951. In 1973, the film rights to the Superman character were purchased by Ilya Salkind, Alexander Salkind, and Pierre Spengler. After multiple scripts and several years in development, Richard Donner was hired as director, and he shot two films, Superman (1978) (marketed as Superman: The Movie), and Superman II (1980), at the same time, both starring Christopher ReeveHosted by Ausha.

In this lively and irreverent episode of The Middle of Culture, Peter and Eden build a tier list ranking 29 DC movies, from the highs of Christopher Reeve's iconic Superman to the lows of Black Adam, which earns a new category all its own: "F*** You Forever." Along the way, they debate the merits of Nolan's Batman trilogy, praise Margot Robbie while trashing her material, and wax poetic about Michelle Pfeiffer's Catwoman and the ridiculous joy of Catwoman (2004). The episode also dives into recent reads, including the emotionally devastating Adachi and Shimamura 99.9, with Eden delivering an impassioned recounting that might just wreck you. Add in some heat-dome weather talk, tech-death music recs, and plenty of hot takes, and you've got one of the most entertaining episodes yet.Episode Notes:Welcome BackEden shares weather misery and emotional tales of crying over Adachi and ShimamuraPeter updates on his son's relentless swim meet schedule and praises the dedication of teen athletesWhat We're IntoEden continues to love The Apothecary Diaries, now reading it aloud with CassiDeep emotional dive into Adachi and Shimamura 99.9, including:Cozy slice-of-life momentsPost-apocalyptic existentialismA bittersweet afterlife reunion that left Eden in tearsPeter shares his current reading on behavior change and playing Mario Kart with the kidsMetal music recs from Peter:Fallujah and Exocrine (tech-death highlights)Sigh's re-recording of Hangman's Hymn (2007 → 2025 edition)The Tier List Begins29 DC movies ranked from S-tier to a newly invented bottom tierImmediate praise for Superman: The Movie -- the only true S-tier filmBatman Begins and The Batman hold strong in A-tierThe Dark Knight lands at a controversial B, Dark Knight Rises flops to DSurprising affection for Catwoman bumps it up to C, while Suicide Squad, Justice League, and Black Adam are rightfully trashedEden passionately defends the joyfully chaotic Batman & Robin, despite its executionZack Snyder's Justice League makes it to B solely for its absurdityLego Batman wins hearts, even from Eden who has a Lego movie vendettaNew Tier Created: "F*** You Forever"Reserved exclusively for Black Adam, a film so despised that Peter stopped watching anything with The Rock afterwardWrap-UpOne clear conclusion: 1978's Superman stands unmatchedRichard Donner hailed as the god-tier director James Gunn can't touchGentle roast of MCU's decline vs DC's chaotic legacyCall to action: listeners encouraged to weigh in via feedback@themiddleofculture.com

THE MOVIE SPIDER-MAN 2 OWED EVERYTHING TO! Superman: The Movie was generational. So much so that Donner and the Salkinds saw it preemptively and had a sequel made in tandem with the first! Unfortunately, despite the promise of a release the year after, the highly-anticipated sequel was delayed to 1980 in light of Donner being fired and a lot of the movie being reshot. After many years and public demand, his cut wouldn't release until 2006, making do with camera tests and newly-shot footage to fill out the blank spots. So, how did it fare? Tune in to find out as Brian and Alec continue the Supermanathon with Richard Donner's (close-to) original cut of SUPERMAN II!

It's Timeline time everyone! Because we're continuing our look at Michael Crichton's movie adaptations that arn't Jurassic Park. The year is 2003, Richard Donner (director of Superman: The Movie) decided to gather up Paul Walker, Gerry Butler, Frances O'Connor and Billy Connolly to do a big time travel to the year 1357 in order to run around a bit and cause of ruckus. Not the best Michael Crichton adaptation, some would even consider it the worst. And maybe it is.

YOU'LL BELIEVE A MAN CAN FLY! We are five weeks out from the next iteration of the man of tomorrow, which means it's time to go back to where it all began -- not only for him, but for comic book movies as a whole! This classic that introduced Christopher Reeve to the world changed the landscape of blockbuster filmmaking forever, but does it still hold up? Join Brian and Alec to find out as they begin the Supermanathon with the film that defined the character -- Richard Donner's SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE!
Episode 319. We quick-change into our capes for an episode on Richard Donner's 1978 Superman: The Movie. This has all the classic Superman iconography you know and love, plus a complicated real estate scheme where Lex Luthor wants to sink the California coastline to make a new one. We discuss the strange pacing that makes you wait nearly an hour to see Superman in action, the surprisingly sincere romance (and horniness), Jor-El being a busy dad with two jobs, Midwestern wheat fields, how we expect James Gunn's Superman to emulate this or step away from it, and if we'll ever see a big-screen Superman with a mullet like that one comic from the 1990s.Click here to watch a video of this episode.

Join Andrew Gordon & Tara Erickson as they soar back to 1978 for Richard Donner's groundbreaking superhero epic Superman. 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. Gene Hackman (Oscar-winner for The French Connection, Unforgiven) delights as the conniving Lex Luthor, whose audacious plot to trigger a California earthquake with stolen nuclear missiles pits the Man of Steel against his deadliest foe. Marlon Brando (Oscar-winner for The Godfather, Apocalypse Now) lends gravitas as Superman's father Jor-El, while Ned Beatty (iconic in Network, Deliverance) brings comic relief as the bumbling henchman Otis. 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!

The story follows Caleb (Domhnall Gleeson), a young programmer who wins a company contest to spend a week at the secluded estate of his reclusive boss, Nathan (Oscar Isaac), a brilliant but eccentric tech CEO. Upon arrival, Caleb learns he has been selected to participate in a Turing test for Ava (Alicia Vikander), an advanced AI housed in a humanoid robot. As Caleb interacts with Ava, he becomes emotionally entangled with her, questioning whether she truly possesses consciousness—or if he is being manipulated.

The road to James Gunn's Superman continues!

MONSTER PARTY GETS TIME STONED! JAMES GONIS, SHAWN SHERIDAN, LARRY STROTHE, and MATT WEINHOLD use THE EYE OF AGAMOTTO to predict the fate of the current trend of meta-human films. It's a cacophony of caped crusading conjecture, presenting the question, "What is ... THE FUTURE OF SUPERHEROES!!!" In this episode, we chronicle the fantastic evolution of screen superheroes from past to present, and what might lie ahead. Expect some mutant level banter about the racist Batman serials of the 1940's, TV offerings including THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN, WONDER WOMAN, and THE INCREDIBLE HULK, the lightning in a bottle that was SUPERMAN: THE MOVIE, the unrivaled success of the MARVEL CINEMATIC UNIVERSE, the hit-but-mostly-miss offerings of the D.C. EXTENDED UNIVERSE, and so much more! But is the world's obsession with superheroes dwindling? Have recent big-budget failures contributed to this "cape fatigue." Will D.C. ever get its superpowered act together? And is the MCU's Phase IV a gamble that will pay off? We're talkin' to you FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS! Graciously helping us tackle these questions is a first-time guest of MONSTER PARTY! He's a critically acclaimed comedian, talk show host, political satirist, actor, podcaster, author, and superhero aficionado, who happens to be great at just about everything. Please welcome...
