EPISODE 33 - Superman II (1980, 2006) - “Thoopahman” - 11-06-23

In 1980, Superman II was released to great fanfare and adoration, but it was NOT credited to original director Richard Donner.  Donner had in fact been removed from the project halfway through the simultaneous filming of both movies and Richard Lester (The Three Musketeers '73) was brought in to replace him.  The result is vastly different to what was planned.  In 2006 Donner got the chance to unearth his discarded footage and recut the film to suit his original vision.  Is it better?  Is it worse?  Well, that's what we're here to talk about!

We compare and contrast both films exhaustively with another visit to trivia corner (hosted this week by a pair of invading Daleks) and some more Jonny and Si bants that you can only get right here!
