The 602 Club: A Geekery Speakeasy


Dec 17, 2018

Superman: The Movie.

The late 70s left an indelible mark on cinema, Jaws, 2001 and Star Wars shattered the limitations of what we thought of as possible on the big screen but they wouldn't be the last as Richard Donner and his take on the original superhero would make you believe a man could fly.

In this episode of The 602 Club host Matthew Rushing is joined by Bruce Gibson and John Mills to talk about Superman: The Movie as it turns 40. We discuss our first flights, putting the movie together, Krypton, Brando, Smallville, the lesson, the end, the cast, timeline, John Williams and our ratings.
