I don't think there's a mid or post-credit scenes. I think it's too early for that. But we're just going to watch the credits here roll.

Starting point is 00:01:35 But Tara, how are you feeling? I'm feeling all right. I think that the movie was fun. It had a lot of fun parts, but it did really lag for me. And I was feeling it as it was lagging. I was like, ah, I wish it was better because the other ones really got me, like, loving Superman. and I feel like in these moments in this movie, it was really, really, like what a fun concept to see Superman get taken over kind of later

Starting point is 00:02:07 with the kryptonite. He turns bad Superman, like villain is Superman. That's such a fun idea. And seeing that was a lot of fun. And the way that I already called it out in this, meaning the engineering mindset of the fun, smart things that they did like you know richard prior using his yo yo him using the big thing to make a slide and then doing other stuff that i thought was really smart all of those were like yay awesome yeah if they had just paste it properly and taken out a good amount of other stuff it didn't

Starting point is 00:02:44 need to go two hours and five minutes that's all i say i think that this movie could have been a major a major like a really good hit if they had taken a lot out yeah i don't want to i mean i i i agree with you and i'm not just agreeing to agree but there were definitely parts and points where i was like this is really dragging for me as well i will say this too like i definitely missed having margot kidder in the film i understand why it was it was actually fun to get a nettoe i thought she did a great job i thought she was a welcome presence i really miss Gene Hackman. Like, as good of an actor as Robert Vaughn is, I've only seen him

Starting point is 00:03:23 in a couple of things, and he is a very, or was a very well-established actor. I just thought Gene Hackman was such a much better villain personally, like, just comparing them in Superman, but I really did, even though it, it was interesting having Richard Pryor

Starting point is 00:03:39 in here. He was great in the movie, but tonally, it was, it was, and it was weird, like, having him in a Superman film and the way But I did again, I did like the moral compass and the way the character had an arc. I thought that actually fit in. But the comedic beats and style, sometimes it hit for me.

Starting point is 00:04:00 And then other times I was like, this doesn't feel like a Superman movie. But I'm, you know what? I will say this. I always say I like when filmmakers and screenwriters try different things. Sometimes it works. Other times it doesn't. You know, it's, it's, I can appreciate having, having the, the Cajonais. to take those kinds of risks.

Starting point is 00:04:20 So I respect that, honestly. And I will say, like, as fun as that opening beat is with, you know, it's, it was extremely cartoonish. And it's like whack them all where you got one thing trickling another thing, trickling another thing over and over. It was great the way it was shot for sure. But it kind of just let you in to know what the tone and that we're in for the rest of the film.

Starting point is 00:04:45 And again, I didn't mind that particular beat. but I don't uh but I didn't think like in terms of the rest of the film I don't know like tonally it just didn't feel balanced for me like if you're gonna go with that beat it's gotta really feel bad like in a Superman film what we had established in the first two terra yeah I personally preferably would have just rather stayed with the the tone of the first two films that's just how I felt having said that I do like going to that dark place we did go to with bad Superman seeing with there because again I'm not gonna to spoil it for you in case you ever decide to watch it i don't know if we're ever going to react to it although i would love to on this channel one day with you or with core the three of us but i don't know no promises but in smallville that is the red kryptonite effect of where he loses all inhibition and he's just like drunk with power basically that was fun to see and you can tell christopher reeves just such a he's got so much uh dynamic and so much range as an actor and he was again having a great time doing it because we see him as mild manner clark and also the the comparison

Starting point is 00:05:48 in contrast when you see him as Superman like it's totally two different characters and that's why he's so damn good when he does it and then seeing him as bad Superman drunk Superman with power that was so much fun to watch but it was dramatic too and there was a lot of tension and suspense when you were watching him do that as well like what is he going to I don't know what he's going to do the evilness that can ensue because this man could literally take over the planet if he wanted to if he has no inhibition it's a scary thought honestly but I thought like again what Christopher Reeve was able to to do in that moment, like, because he's the man who brings hope and shininess to the world when he's on the screen and, like, to make me and you, and I assume the rest of the audience

Starting point is 00:06:27 when we're watching that feel scared in the moment, watching him behave this way, and to convey that in facial expression and then with the attire and everything, I thought he did a great job, and I'm glad they explored that. I would have liked even more of that, to be quite honest. I don't, again, I didn't mind the Richard Pryor stuff, but like you said it, and as I pointed out earlier, there's just a lot of stuff you could have gotten rid of and just, it just dragged out for me personally. I just think that the reason that this film was made is most likely to show the dark

Starting point is 00:06:56 side of Superman. They should have focused on that, meaning what I think happened, because you said in interview that Richard Pryor was like, I love Superman, is that the script was already, maybe previously written with the villain going, uh, how do we kill Superman and take out like Columbia and then somebody builds a computer and like we got it we got to get rid of Superman because he's ruining my chances to make money but then they added in Richard prior to be like okay he's going to be the one who builds a computer because he needs money and he's going to have to do it because you're going to go to jail otherwise there was just um there's just some holes in there where I'm like I find it very surprising just to me because I think there's so many great and really fun aspects to this movie and really great effects and practical effects that they played with that I'm like, why didn't someone sit and watch the whole thing and go, I'm not super worried and or like on the edge of my seat when Superman is like going to go back to find the computer and save the day versus in all of the other

Starting point is 00:08:11 movies, I was really on the edge of my seat of going, oh my God, it's happening. it's happening right especially in the last one we're like oh and then you realize he's turn around time yada yada yada yada you really felt that in the last two and in this one i didn't get that that excitement where i'm like oh he's gonna go he's got to go save it i was just like yeah i hope he shows up and gets it done but i i i didn't feel um that strong pull to this movie as i did in the in the previous film for sure that's a very fair point yeah no i totally agree with you there and I think that is a very strong uh you know strong contention to make I mean because when we're in these movies yeah we got Superman on our side as an audience you want to feel that tension

Starting point is 00:08:55 and you want to feel that threat level for Superman because I mean he's the man of steel like you don't you don't expect him to lose but in the moment you want to feel it so that when he wins it's like oh my God that was so satisfying to watch versus rather when yeah I never felt that he was threatened for one moment's like okay cool it was still fun to watch him on screen but I didn't really ever feel for one second that he was ever in danger or that we as an audience felt that way for him.

Starting point is 00:09:22 So at least in that moment, the only time I felt danger for him when he was bad Superman and like, oh my God, what's he gonna do here? And that was good though. All danger with the bad Superman. It's more about like when he's going to save the people

Starting point is 00:09:36 like towards the end of the other movies, it was really exciting. And in this one I was like, oh yeah, of course he, okay he'll get there and like I don't know I just didn't feel it I didn't feel it yeah I think I just want to add to what I was just saying

Starting point is 00:09:51 I think like in the first movie so it's like is he going to get to lowest in time what's he going to do here now that she said it's like I obviously I've seen the movie but I'm just saying like for the first time when I watched that movie and then with the second movie like oh my guys fighting three Kryptonians who are of the same you know power level as them

Starting point is 00:10:08 what the hell is he going to do here so I just mean in that in that aspect in here. Again, I think there's an interesting thing you can do because I think Brainiac is definitely one of his more fun villains in the comics. I mean, intellectually, like, you can't, it's really difficult to beat Brainiac. And I think that's kind of what we were going for here. So there is a lot that can be said. And I do like the idea of using technology as a theme here. Like, you know, if you give a computer or technology too much power, it can turn on you. I think that was an interesting aspect of the film but you know what I mean I don't know I just don't think it was that I don't think

Starting point is 00:10:48 it was executed in the best way in this film personally but you know again yeah if you felt that way great but I just think it could have been done better but again the things I still love I love Christopher Reeve I thought annetto too was a really she was very welcoming and I enjoyed her performance I thought she had really good chemistry with Christopher it was nice thing to go back to smallville besides me being a smallville fanatic and all that that was nice to go back to his roots and all that. I really did like Richard Pryor. He was a lot of fun.

Starting point is 00:11:17 I just don't know how much it fit in with the rest of the film. But his arc was actually nice. I did appreciate that, him having the moral compass. I thought that other actress was really good, the blonde woman. She was fun. It was, I don't know if it fit in with the movie per se, but it was fun to watch her perform, like to actually see the performance per se.

Starting point is 00:11:36 But aside from that, yeah, I mean, it dragged the times. and I would definitely put it below a lot, a little bit below or a lot below the, the original two, because the original two were fantastic, in my opinion. I liked all the actors. All the actors in this, like they do a great job. And this is why when you look at a movie, a lot of it has to do a direction. The director goes to the actors. They tell him, right, they give them notes.

Starting point is 00:12:03 But then the director also goes into the editing room to help make cuts. I don't know what's going on. with this director. Apparently he's done the rest of them, right? No, he didn't do the fourth one, I believe, was Sydney, J. Fury. So he hasn't done it anymore after this? No. Oh, all right.

Starting point is 00:12:21 Not to say, that makes you feel a lot better. I don't think this Superman movie was his A-game. He's helping, making choices in the editing room. And I do think that if you were to see this movie and it had really proper pacing, that all of those comedic moments, including Richard Pryor, with also the blonde girl being like, I'm like the dumb one. Like when her boyfriend, husband, whatever walks in and she's like, plays dumb, but she's actually legitimately smart. That's a really fun, like, character thing to play with.

Starting point is 00:12:56 They just didn't have enough time because there's so many moving pieces in here where it's like we're really mainly focusing on Richard Pryor. They have to save their business. So all four of them are villains now. and Superman is trying to get to know his high school sweetheart with the kid. There's a lot of moving parts in this script. And overall, I think that maybe they could have absolutely made it work. But it does come down to the direction of the film and the producers making the overall call. So it doesn't really come down to the actors because with me even saying,

Starting point is 00:13:28 oh, I don't really love this film. All the actors are great. Good job. For sure. And it also comes down to as well that the messaging that the film was trying to get across, which is greed is not good as a little opposite to what Gordon Gecko would say, which I understand. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:13:42 I don't know if it was executed. It's so great. Well, we got some patron questions. Yeah. Yeah. If you're thinking about joining Patreon, this is a way to get us to interact with you and answer your question. So we'll start off.

Starting point is 00:13:54 Who do we got first? Do you want to answer the first one? We got Flying Scotsman 4702 says for Superman 3. What's your favorite aspect about the character or about Christopher Reeve that brings the life that brings life to the character? Is it his charm, charisma, personality, etc? What do you think? I just, I love everything that. Well, in terms of the character, I just, I love the hopefulness that he brings, like no matter what, like, and he inspires goodness and others. And also, too, with all this power, like I said, he could literally take over the planet if he wanted to. And instead, he decides to inspire

Starting point is 00:14:30 others. In regards to Christopher Reeve, he is this role. And he plays both roles. so perfectly. And I know my biggest complaint when I was growing up, how does nobody recognize that Clark Kent is not Superman? He's just wearing glasses. It's because Christopher Reeve does such an effective job playing that mild-mannered nerdy Clark Kent and also playing Superman, like so, so brave and so stoic,

Starting point is 00:14:53 that you would never think that Clark Kent is Superman. He just embodies the role. He is Superman. He made you believe a man could fly. That's how I feel. How do you feel, Tara? Yeah, I think it's like he does a really good job of playing dual person.

Starting point is 00:15:05 right of him playing um clark kent versus superman there's not anybody that i think you know during this time i'm not sure would play it as greatly as him you do have to have a lot of vulnerability to play the clark kent side and then you also have to be able to walk into a room as a person that believes you are a superhero right you have to be able to play both and also make it come across on screen that both are very believable. And that tends to be more rare, I think, with more actors. So I think Christopher Reeve and his personality to take both sides of the role and have them shine on screen specifically to where they are both very believable

Starting point is 00:15:54 and also both very grounded. Superman is not necessarily a grounded character. But Christopher Reeve does a lot of, does a really good job of making it feel grounded and very real, even with him flying in the sky, right? And then the same with him with the Clark Kent. He's very, he does a good job of sure, bringing in the nerdy effects of him going like, oh, you know, excuse me, like he's very like sort of a guy who's inside of a shell and doesn't ought to come out, which is really, really, it's a lot of fun.

Starting point is 00:16:29 So, you know, I give a lot of credit to Christopher Reeves being able to, you know, give 100% to both characters. Absolutely. Good points. Apologies, by the way, if I mispronounce any names or we or either of us do. Next one is from Powell Keksmart Merrick. Does that sound right? Yeah, that sounds right. I have not seen Superman 3 in ages, as of not I until today.

Starting point is 00:16:52 But does it really feel to you both as though it's actually Richard Pryor's film and Superman is almost a supporting character? I mean, I'll let you go first, actually. Yes, absolutely. Because that's what I said. It was funny when he was like, oh, I had an interview and I'm like, ah, that's the producer, probably saw it. And they're like, Richard Pryor, he's big during this time. Let's find a way to bring him in.

Starting point is 00:17:13 And I don't know if the script was already written, but when you have a huge star in during this time, you're going to give Richard Pryor as much time as you want because, like, it's going to sell tickets, maybe bring in an audience that Superman normally would not have, right? You look at Richard Pryor audience, audience and demographic that he's bringing in versus Superman on own can still bring it a lot. Combining the two, money, money, money, right? So if you're thinking as a producer and a director, for sure, overall, I do think the film in the cutbacks and with Richard Pryor overall, they were more focusing on him. There's a big chunk of time. And that's why I said, I think this movie could have been an hour and a half and it would have been better,

Starting point is 00:17:54 that they could have cut out where I'm like, Richard Pryor should have been a smaller role along with the villains. And maybe it's about 50-50. Superman versus the villains. It wasn't like that. in this film. Yeah, and you can still, and I agree with this and with you, I mean, the first scene is Richard Pryor setting up that character of Gus. And you could have still had him be a smaller role, still be very pertinent to the plot

Starting point is 00:18:16 and still have his arc and all that and still get people like coming in to see Richard Pryor in a Superman in a Superman film. So, but I do feel like, yeah, the character of Superman was sacrificed a lot for Richard Pryor for Gus in this film.

Starting point is 00:18:32 And again, I do like Gus in this film. And I like, as I mentioned earlier, his, his arc, but the film is called Superman. So I think, like, the film should really focus strongly most on Superman. I don't mind, like, again, supporting characters getting their due. But I don't think Superman should ever personally be a supporting character in his own film. But that being said, I still loved Richard Pryor in the film. He was a lot of fun. And, yeah.

Starting point is 00:18:58 He was fun. I think they just could have found a different opportunity for him to make him, like, really shine. because to me it's like this movie a little bit in what you're asking. You probably feel it was also a Richard Pryor film and not a Superman thing, which means the overall brand didn't really do its job fully, but it's fine. Reject Nation, the basketball playoffs are heating up. And if you want to turn your takes into something real, you've got to check out prize picks.

Starting point is 00:19:24 Our go-to in the Daily Fantasy Sports World. If you've never tried it, here's how it works. It's relatively simple. You pick two to six players, and you get it. whether or not they'll get more or less than the stat line price picks sets. This week I'm looking at the basketball board and selecting Donovan Mitchell for more than 26 points, Jason Tatum for more than nine rebounds, Nikola Yoakicch for more than 25 points, and Anthony Edwards for more than four assists.

Starting point is 00:19:50 Basketball terminology. It's that simple. If your picks hit, you win. Even my dumb noggin can keep up with that. And the more picks that you string together, the more money you can make, up to 1,000 times your entry. And what's cool is, it's not just basketball. You can mix and match players across different sports like baseball, football, hockey, even esports.

Starting point is 00:20:08 It's like building your own custom bet. It's all based on player stats and you're in full control. Plus, they invented something called FlexPlay, which means even if one of your picks misses, you can still win cash. And payouts are super fast. I've seen it hit in under 15 minutes. So here's what you can do. You can download the app today and use code Rejects to get $50 instantly after you play your first $5 lineup. Again, that's code Rejects, $50 instantly after your first $5.00 line up.

Starting point is 00:20:29 Again, that's code rejects, $50 instantly after your first $5 lineup. Prize picks, run your game. All right. Third question, last question from Attack. Superman 3 React. Do you have any plans to react to Supergirl, 1984, in this series? As I know, it was a release between Superman 3 and 4. We'd love to see it, is what attack said.

Starting point is 00:20:51 I'll tell you this. That is not a decision between Tara and myself. That is a Greg and John decision. But we can ask them. We can ask them. As of now, it's not on the schedule for us. We're just going through all the supermans and they're all pretty, they're timed out to be released with the newest Superman that's coming out.

Starting point is 00:21:11 So we'll have to see if we're able to delay. If not, what I would say is that we may be able to do that as like a one-off after we finish through all the supermans. We'll see. I'll say this. I've never seen the film. I might have just mentioned that. I haven't seen it. I will tell you this.

Starting point is 00:21:28 I do know who the director of the film was. It was Janet Zawork, who also directed Jaws, too. I think he also did a film with Christopher Reeve. It was not Superman-related. I also directed a bunch of Smallville episodes as well. So, I mean, yeah, I'd be down to see it. If we're going to react to it, that would be a fun experience. Just he's, you know, Superman's cousin.

Starting point is 00:21:46 So I think that'd be cool. And she's supposed to be coming on in the new series or in the James Gunner and have her own film. So I think that'd be cool to, if we don't, if we don't get to it in time, for like these reactions definitely in preparation for the new supergirl film that's supposed to come out in either a year or two i don't remember the release date oh that's probably when we watch it then i think we would at minimum do it for that maybe possibly we shall see but i'd be down to do it just because i've never seen it for sure like i guess just in my closing thoughts i i liked this movie i wanted to love it i really liked the first two this one was a bit of a letdown with the pacing i think they

Starting point is 00:22:25 could have cut a lot out and it would have been a lot better. But overall, everyone did a great job and the story of Superman turning bad is a great one to see. Yeah. This is really a script that you give to Christopher Reed and he's like, oh, I get to be an actor, actor in this because he gets to play. That's like all of our dreams and you're like, oh, if you're stuck to this character, but now he gets to play the dark side.

Starting point is 00:22:53 Everyone wants to play that dark side in the character, and we were able to show that, especially for Christopher Reeve, it's like, oh, he can go there. Of course he can. He's a great actor. But for him to be able to provide that on screen was probably really like he was probably very grateful for that. But overall, I wish that that, him showing that was made into a better film. Yeah, I agree with everything you just said. Christopher Reeve was still by far my favorite part of the film. I really enjoyed the addition of Richard. prior he was a lot of fun and he his comedic timing was great again there were parts i just didn't feel tonely at work but again the tone of the film i just didn't feel totally worked with superman is what i'm trying to say but uh really quick i just curious what you feel what did you think this film got in run tomatoes critics really quick okay critics i'm gonna go with 59 i know that's low but let's see it might be 61 audience i'm gonna go with 80%.

Starting point is 00:23:55 Critics was 29%. Audience was 23%. Yeah. Okay. We're on the same page. I always try to like root high because I don't know if people are sitting there going like, oh, all I really want to see is Superman fly and I just want to see him do his regular stuff. But overall, you guys are on the side that I'm on. It's not great.

Starting point is 00:24:16 Could have been better. Yeah, for sure. Anyways, normally we'd go probably into some trivia right now. We got another shoot to do here. so we're a little bit out of time, but you let us know in the comments, what are some fun trivia facts that we could have written to you,

Starting point is 00:24:28 or read now to you rather. And where would you put this in, in terms of the Christopher Reeves films, where would you put this on one, two, three, or four? We'd love to know. Also, don't forget to like, subscribe, share the video. Most importantly, don't.

Starting point is 00:36:35 is there and he brought his priest. Read into that. Love to hear it. Is it a good thing or a bad thing? It's a good thing always. It's a good thing because the priest is not doing something creepy, you perverts. Just because it's a pride parade doesn't mean it's something creepy going down. That priest is there to try to convert people to stop doing what they're doing.

Starting point is 00:36:58 All right? Yep. He's not touching cliff. He's not doing anything. a cliff overtly lascivy is trying to tell people. He's just discouraging a whole community of people's lifestyle. He's just trying to get them stopping. There's usually one who's waiting

That's right, definitely.

Starting point is 00:40:45 And how adept we are at navigating, you know, tricky social constructs. Oh, totally. You know, we managed to be just specific enough while also being vague enough so as not to be offensive, but, you know, not too specific as to really say something pointed. Yeah, and I think we did a really good job at, like, making a satirical version of pointing out, like, stereotypes, instead of just doing the stereotypes. We are providing a service to the whole community. I'm pretty sure this is what the gay community needs. This is what the LGBT community needs right now. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:41:24 Is this round of shoutouts? That's the reason this is the theme is they called us up, and they were like, hey, can you please do us a solid? Yeah. When you see two men in heterosexual relationships, ready to solve your problems, this is the shout-out. This is straight solutions. You guys won this with a, you're welcome.
