Episode #16 | Superman II

Richard Donner vs. Richard Lester! At one time considered the greatest superhero film ever made, Superman II was a hodge-podge of footage filmed by two different directors that still managed to become a financial and critical hit. 25 years after release, a drastically different cut was released to the public, to critical acclaim. But the story doesn't end there! In this episode, we discuss the reason for the two different cuts, and the possibility that there could be a 3rd edit on the horizon. Jordan joins Joshua Murr-VELL, Champ-Ian and Mike-EL for another superhero movie chat. www.ComicBookSyndicate.com

When George Lucas could not secure the rights to remaking Flash Gordon, he created Star Wars to fill in the Gordon-size hole in his heart; a few years later, Flash Gordon returned the favour, with a big-budget, Queen-soundtracked schlock-fest that looks like a cross between The Wizard Of Oz and David Lynch's Dune. www.ComicBookSyndicate.com

Champ-Ian joins Mike-EL and Joshua Murr-VELL for another flash back to the past. Your pals at Taped Crusaders sit through another 90 minutes of 70s TV, so that you don't have to! The original Buck Rogers comic strip may have inspired legions of science fiction imitators, but someone forgot to tell the producers of this particular project, because the last thing they had in mind was honouring the legacy of a classic hero. Gil Gerad, Erin Gray, and Mel Blanc (!) star in this two-part pilot episode that, against all odds, was also given theatrical release. www.ComicBookSyndicate.com
