Superman IV: The Quest for Peace

06/09/19 • 30 min

On another DC TV Classics movie rewatch, Keith Chow and Adam Starcaster revisit the final Christopher Reeve Superman film, 1987's Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. Directed by Sidney Furie, Superman IV ended the film franchise that made you believe a man could fly. It also introduced Nuclear Man (instead of Bizarro) and Jon Cryer (Supergirl's Lex Luthor) into Superman canon. Keith and Adam also read listener mail and announce the upcoming schedule for the rest of the podcast.

Supergirl

This week on DC TV Classics, Keith Chow and Adam Starcaster analyze the first incarnation of an extended DC Universe, 1984's Supergirl. Directed by Jeannot Szwarc, the Salkinds attempted to broaden the universe created in the Christopher Reeve Superman movies by exploring the adventures of his "cousin" Kara Zor-El. Starring Helen Slater in the title role and Faye Dunaway -- as the villainous witch Selena, Supergirl failed to meet the box office heights of its predecessors. Despite its box office struggles, the movie will go down in history as the first mainstream female superhero film, paving the way for current franchises like Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel as well as the Maiden of Might's own hit television series!

The Return of Swamp Thing

Keith Chow and Adam Starcaster have finally made it to 1989! Unfortunately, they're not talking about Batman just yet. Instead, the first DC superhero movie of this landmark year -- which, coincidentally was also produced by Benjamin Melinker and Michael Uslan -- was The Return of Swamp Thing, a sequel to Wes Craven's original from 1982. The campy follow-up starred Heather Locklear as Abbie Arcane and brought back Dick Durock as Swamp Thing and Louis Jourdan as the evil Anton Arcane (even though he died a movie prior). Joining the cast is Superman II actress Sarah Douglas. They also spend some time lamenting the cancellation of the current incarnation of Swamp Thing on DC Universe and prepare for next week's Batman extravaganza.
