Andrew & Tara continue their SUPERMAN MARATHON on the road to James Gunn's Superman giving their Superman 2 Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!!

Join Andrew Gordon & Tara Erickson as they dive into the long-awaited Richard Donner Cut of Superman II, where the Man of Steel (Christopher Reeve, Somewhere in Time, Deathtrap) faces off against exiled Kryptonian tyrants led by General Zod (Terence Stamp, The Adventures of Priscilla, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade). After renouncing his powers to live as Clark Kent, Superman must reclaim his abilities when Zod, Ursa (Sarah Douglas, Conan the Destroyer, Flash Gordon), and Non (Jack O’Halloran, Superman, The Sting) break free and threaten Earth’s fate.

Margot Kidder (Lois Lane, The Amityville Horror, Black Christmas) delivers her trademark spark as she navigates the fallout of Clark’s sacrifice, while Gene Hackman (Lex Luthor, The French Connection, Unforgiven) schemes to reclaim the Fortress of Solitude’s secrets. Highlights include Zod’s chilling demand “Kneel before Zod!”, the epic Daily Planet rooftop showdown, Superman’s gravity-defying Statue of Liberty rescue, and the emotional reversal of time to restore Metropolis—now restored to Donner’s original vision.

Don’t miss our breakdown of every iconic moment, character beat, and the nuanced differences that make this cut a must-see for any fan of the Man of Steel!
