Celluloid Heroes Episode Six is now available for streaming. In this episode I cover two films: Richard Donner’s Superman (1978) and Richard Donner’s and Richard Lester’s Superman II (1981). Seen three years, two decades, and two cities apart, Supermans (or is it ‘Supermen’?) I and II remain two of my favorite superhero films, and remain the gold standard when it comes to comic book movies. Before superhero films got bogged down in shared universes, TV spinoffs, and mixed-multimedia there was just the story of Clark Kent, played so very memorably by the great Christopher Reeve.

Also making its debut this episode? My new sound-set-up, which you’ll hear in the brief prologue and will make a more formal debut with the next film in the Celluloid Heroes series.

Join me on a journey to the Vancouver British Columbia of 1978 and the Edmonton Alberta of 1981 where we all came to believe a man could fly!

Next month though will see a Very Special Episode as myself and a Very Special Guest take a much different sort of flight back to the Edmonton Alberta of the early 1980s and a much different film about a big scary flying thing:
