Popcorn Culture - Throwback Tuesday: Superman

Directed by Richard Donner, it was also the first major big-budget superhero movie, and paved the way for all the larger-than-life heroes we now have onscreen. Besides Reeve’s career-making turn, the movie also features a stacked cast, with Marlon Brando, Gene Hackman, and Margot Kidder. We revisit the 1978 classic to see whether it still makes our hearts soar.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
