The 42cast Episode 244: Superlative Casting
Manage episode 494405267 series 2406325

Superman is high in the public consciousness today, so we’re taking a step back and looking at the movie series that many still site as the quintessential version of the character. In this episode we discuss all four of the Superman movies that starred Christopher Reeve as well as Superman Returns, a movie intended to be a sequel to those earlier films. We talk about Reeves in the roles of both Clark Kent and Superman. We discuss his co-stars from each film as well as how they either added to or detracted from the movies. We also get into the various film plots and how we feel that they showcased the character. Before we wrap up we explain what’s in each of the versions of the first two films and we debate the merits of Superman Returns. We also give our rankings for these movies.
This week, our five-minute-controversy asks if we agree with James Gunn that unfinished scripts are the reason for the decrease in movie attendance by the public.
This week Ryan, Annie, and Daviorr join the cast.
Show Notes:
James Gunn Says the ‘Movie Industry Is Dying’ Because Films Are Made Without Finished Scripts
