Listen to "Superman Review" on Spreaker.

We have finally seen James Gunn's Superman! The spoiler-free segment is up first for those who haven't seen the film, and then we get into spoilers in a big bad way!

Go see the film! It's full of heart and unlike any superhero film we've seen thus far!

Superman III Review

 

Superman flying around with Richard Pryor

Listen to "Superman III Review" on Spreaker.

Jason and Dave discuss their thoughts about Superman III and share some fun trivia! Yeah, I know that's a short description, but that's pretty much what it is. Joking about the film, praising Richard Pryor, making fun of Lana's kid and rarely calling him the correct name... that sorta thing.

Don't forget, our full-length commentary track on Superman III is exclusive on patreon!

"Superman II" Review & Donner Cut Comparison

 

Superman (Christopher Reeve), Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) and General Zod (Terence Stamp) | Text: DC on SCREEN #756: Superman II Review & Donner Cut Comparison

Listen to ""Superman II" Review & Donner Cut Comparison" on Spreaker.


With all the greatest love and admiration and with respect to all the behind-the-scenes skullduggery that took place while this film was made, we talk about Superman II -- the theatrical (Richard Lester) cut with comparison to The Donner Cut (because the seams were too unseemly and Dave went back and subsequently found it impossible to ignore in this discussion).We can't help but have real issues with Superman II...

"Batman Forever" Review

 

Batman, Riddler, Robin, Two-Face, Chase Meridian from Batman Forever | Text: DC on SCREEN #751 - 05/07/25 Review

Listen to ""Batman Forever" Review" on Spreaker.
It was bound to happen at some point, and it finally has: wedged between the unfortunate passing of Val Kilmer and the 30th anniversary of "Batman Forever" comes our nostalgia-fueled review! We laughed, we wondered what the hell they were thinking, we laughed some more. We also enjoyed a large percentage of it, and Dave, like the ancient nomad hunter-gatherers of yesteryear, has journeyed far from his proverbial mammoth bone dwelling to forage for Forever-affiliated trivia and production factoids!

It's a fun-filled, fact-fraught Forever free-for-all!
