For well over a decade, we have argued about the quality of the Superman films. The fights about Supes killing Zod in Man of Steel has literally been one of the defining qualities of a couple of us on this show. When another new Superman movie was announced, and it was to be directed by James Gunn, we were torn between optimist and cynicism. Gunn has certainly been a divisive director in the past, but would he continue that trend?
Anyway…here is our Superman (2025) episode.
How do you judge films from 1978? Is it based on how well the film stands the test of time? Maybe by how the film resonated with the viewer the first time they saw it? We tried to land somewhere in the middle, with varying degrees of success. And just to prove that some things never change, we found ourselves arguing over the merits of Man of Steel...again. I am not sure that particular debate will ever run its course. Do you have a year or theme that you'd like us to visit? Send us a message on Facebook or email us at comingoffthereels@gmail.com
Enjoy!
