Binge Movie Aftertaste – Superman Retrospective w/ Luke Norris

Welcome one and all. First of all, thank you for being patient with us, as this podcast was originally supposed to be posted on Friday. As many of you know, sometimes real life gets in the way of putting these things out there. Luke is real open about what happened to him last week, and I was all the more willing to push this thing back even more if he needed the time. However, on the day of, the message from him came in saying that he was in fact willing to do this podcast sooner rather than later.

We begin the show recapping what happened the last time we did a show together, which was the infamous 5 hour drunken slog that included me bashing Deadpool and him bashing Pulp Fiction. During that show, a round-about comment meant to be a joke came off as a little mean, and Luke takes some time to apologize to Katie TM for said comment.

With all that out of the way, let’s get to the topic at hand. What more can you say about Krypton’s Last Son that hasn’t already been said? We try by asking and answering some specific things about this series of films.

Some things covered in this podcast include:

• Why would Margot Kidder’s Lois Lane be the one woman Superman gets smitten with?
• What is Luke’s favorite moment from the entire series?
• What is, in my opinion, the best acting moment of Margot Kidder’s entire career?
• How much did Christopher Reeve embody the character of Superman, and how good was he as Clark Kent?
• What, in our minds, are the reasons Superman Returns‘ Brandon Routh’s characterization as Superman does not work?
• Why was Reeve born twenty years too late?
• Just who the hell WAS the director of Superman II?
• Why the hell does Luke like ‘the pink bear’ scene?
• Why do we love Superman III so much?
• Yes, a little Smallville talk is also included.
• Why didn’t Michael Shannon ‘have a chance’ as Zod?
• How do we feel going into Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice, and its chances of being good?

All these, plus so much more on this epic podcast! And don’t forget. Next week, Luke, Jack, and I will all gather once again to spew drunken rants -or praise- on Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice in a full on week of release review.
