Watching Superman III with Jack Graham and Daniel Harper

Another bonus episode, this time covering 1983's superlative Superman III! Joined by 2 superb guests, Jack Graham and Daniel Harper, we talk about this sublime early 80's summer blockbuster superhero movie. Among cackling glee and unrestrained joy, listen out for:

• My fawning adulation for Christopher Reeve
• The nightmares! The nightmares!
• Helpless laughter
• The 4th Doctor connection (Daniel's excellent theory)
• How this movie fits with the Zack Snyder Superman films
• The brilliance of Richard Pryor
• Why Superman is such an appealing power fantasy
• The obsession of 80's cinema with the 50's

 

And much, much more.
