There’s a new Superman movie, and that means it’s time to review ALL the Superman movies. This week on The B-Movies Podcast, we’re taking a look back at nine live-action Superman movies leading up to a spoiler free (and then a spoiler-filled) review of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. How does Batman v Superman hold up against the other Superman movies? Have we ever had a truly great motion picture about this iconic superhero character, and if not, why the hell not? They’ll also review Allegiant, The Program, Midnight Special, Pee-wee’s Big Holiday, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 and Space Cop.
Also this week’s episode! William Bibbiani and Witney Seibold say goodbye to the late, great Garry Shandling and discuss the biggest news stories of the week (and the week they missed last week): Indiana Jones 5, a remake of Jacob’s Ladder, Zack Snyder’s The Fountainhead, Disney returns to The Black Cauldron, the “relaunch” of Cannonball Run and last week’s special guest Max Landis becomes one of the highest paid screenwriters in the film industry!
Which of the most widely hated Superman movies is secretly great? You’ll find out on The B-Movies Podcast #266: Batman v Superman v Other Superman Movies!
