MPM: S05/E20 - It's a Bird! It's a Plane! It's a Terrible Movie!

Superman | Supergirl - Hello Superfriends! Welcome to another excellent episode of Motion Picture Meltdown! In celebration of this summer's release of Man of Steel and also the announcement of a Batman/Superman movie at comic-con that all you DC nerds are jerking off to, we've decided to take a look at a couple of older DC inspired superhero movies. This episode, Mark, Philip, and myself have decided to check out 1978's Superman as well as the sparkling dildo filled movie from 1984, Supergirl. In this podcast you'll hear such things as Mark's opinion on the character of Superman, the logic behind the "Ferris Bueler" way of reversing something bad that's happened, as well as anything having to do with Supergirl being referred to as purely terrible. Enjoy!
