On this special episode we're looking at Richard Donner's Superman: The Movie. Released in 1978, the film stars Christopher Reeve as the titular man of steel. It’s neither bird, nor plane, but the story of a man whose father gave his only begotten son to the people of Earth and his travails in the mortal realm. He’s out to fight for Truth, Justice, and the American Way by foiling an elaborate Real Estate scam set up by Lex Luthor (Gene Hackman).
Jamie Lawrence of The Iron Sequel podcast and Mike Thompson join Mike (White) to discuss this first big budget foray into the world of superheroes. Jeff East (Clark Kent) and Sarah Douglas (Ursa) give the behind-the-scenes to their roles in the film.

What was once "the kids' version of THX-1138", Solarbabies is the story of seven orphans looking for salvation in a water-starved post-apocalyptic world. The neon-colored film from second-time director Alan Johnson was originally conceived by the artist Metrov. The story behind Solarbabies might be more compelling than the final film itself.
We're joined this week by Patrick Bromley of the F This Movie podcast to make our way through the wasteland of Solarbabies.

Let us tell you of the days of high adventure....

Clocking in at seven hours, this is not a podcast for the weak.

Mike and Mondo Justin take a look at the underrated late night cable gem in the rough, The Art of Dying. This Hollywood Noir twists and turns more than a Coen Brothers film. Little seen, the film was written and directed by its star, the amazing Wings Hauser.
Mike and Justin speak with Hauser about the film, his childhood growing up next door to Gilligan's Island star Bob Denver, Denver's cheetah collection, plus his friendship with the legendary Richard Pryor. Don't miss it!
