MOTN Random Select Round 1: You Loved One of These as a Kid – And You Were Wrong

from Masters of the Nerdiverse Podcast · host Mike G

This week, the randomizer gods serve up a truly bizarre double feature: 🎬 Superman III (1983) – Richard Pryor hijacks computers, Superman fights a rusty junkyard version of himself, and a bad wig steals the show. 🎬 Cage (1989) – Lou Ferrigno plays a mentally damaged Vietnam vet struggling with trauma, violence, and a whole lot of 80s grit. Mike G defends the absurd charm of drunk Superman vs. evil Superman in a literal garbage heap. Wash argues that Ferrigno's raw, broken performance makes Cage an underrated gem of psychological action-drama. Who wins? The silly superhero mess or the savage veteran's story? Someone's moving on. Someone's getting eliminated. And through it all, Mike G and Wash will scream, laugh, and debate like their lives depend on it. Listen, vote, and settle the debate: which forgotten sequel/actioner deserves a second chance?
