It's our seventh Superman Special! Zach is joined by Mike Krause to discuss the extended cut of Superman: The Movie! In late 2017, the Warner Archive announced it was releasing the long lost three hour TV cut of what many consider (Krause and I certainly do) the greatest superhero film of all time. This came as a surprise and delight to many Superman fans who for years had only bootleg copies recorded off television in the 1980s to remember it by, and to many more who were unaware that an extended cut even existed! We discuss the differences between the three (yes, three!) versions of Superman: The Movie, our thoughts on its interpretation of the Superman story and its characters, dissect the infamous climax, and much more!Here's an in-depth breakdown of the differences between the theatrical cut, special edition, and extended cut of the movie by Movie Censorship.
