Superman (1978) – The Original Man of Steel Takes Flight! 🦸‍♂️✨

In this superpowered episode, we soar back to 1978 to revisit the film that made us believe a man could fly — Superman, directed by Richard Donner and starring the legendary Christopher Reeve. With Paul away at a concert today, we’re thrilled to welcome back the brilliant Marc Parslow as our special guest co-host!

Together, we dive into what made Superman such a game-changer for superhero cinema. From John Williams’ unforgettable score to Reeve’s iconic performance as Clark Kent/Superman, we explore the film’s lasting legacy, its heartfelt story, and the perfect blend of action, charm, and sincerity that set the gold standard for all superhero films to follow.

Marc shares his thoughts on why Superman still holds up over 40 years later and what makes it so special to fans of all ages. We also geek out over the behind-the-scenes magic, the film’s emotional depth, and that breathtaking first flight.

If you’re a fan of capes, courage, and classic cinema, don’t miss this one.
