Episode 117: Superman Returns (2006)

Joe and James are joined by newly-minted Empire contributing editor Amon Warmann as the trio cover the much-maligned 2006 movie, Superman Returns. Is it the sequel the Christopher Reeve movies deserved, or the deranged super-stalker fantasy of an unhinged mind? Could the superkid ever have worked? And can we bring ourselves to even look at the screen while Kevin Spacey is on it? Boy, there's a lot going on here. Nuance, as ever, will be contained within the podcast itself.00:00 - Intro, Seb Chat & what have we been we watching?37:25- Superman Returns chatCinematic Universe is supported by the generosity of our backers on Patreon, who also get to hear episodes ad-free along with bonus material!
