Join Andrew Gordon & Tara Erickson as they soar back to 1978 for Richard Donner’s groundbreaking superhero epic Superman. From the ice-planet origin of Kal-El and his upbringing as mild-mannered reporter Clark Kent (Christopher Reeve, Somewhere in Time, Deathtrap), to his first heroic rescue of Lois Lane (Margot Kidder, The Amityville Horror, Black Christmas) atop a perilous helicopter and the iconic flight over Metropolis, this film defined comic-book cinema. Gene Hackman (Oscar-winner for The French Connection, Unforgiven) delights as the conniving Lex Luthor, whose audacious plot to trigger a California earthquake with stolen nuclear missiles pits the Man of Steel against his deadliest foe. Marlon Brando (Oscar-winner for The Godfather, Apocalypse Now) lends gravitas as Superman’s father Jor-El, while Ned Beatty (iconic in Network, Deliverance) brings comic relief as the bumbling henchman Otis. Jackie Cooper (veteran of The Bowery Boys series and The People vs. Noah Drake) anchors the Daily Planet as Perry White, and Glenn Ford (star of Gilda, Blackboard Jungle) moves hearts as Jonathan Kent. Don’t miss our breakdown of every unforgettable moment—from the desert missile test and Lois’s rooftop revelation to Superman’s climactic airplane rescue and victorious return to the skies! #Superman #ChristopherReeve #MargotKidder #GeneHackman #MarlonBrando #SuperheroClassic #MovieReaction #ReactionReview #AndrewGordon #TaraErickson #Reaction #React #Movie #film #ComicBookMovie #CBM #RichardDonner Superman Official Trailer Reaction: https://youtu.be/7X_4GtU_pUU Fantastic Four (2005) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/41WlrbJ0me0 Superman (1978) - Coy Jandreau's Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/mlubceOmcz0 Captain America: Brave New World (2025) Reaction: https://youtu.be/mueDPaEP4kM Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) Movie Reaction: https://youtu.be/WGr3viJJJK0 Zack Snyder's Justice League Movie Reaction Part 1: https://youtu.be/Ss0RjujNO0U 0:00 Checking In! 2:15 DC Studios Showcase 25:36 Superman Reaction 27:49 Superman 1978 Reaction 1:18:25 Superman Review Patron of the Day SHOUT OUT!
