Talking "Superman" '25 on The Next Picture Show
Chris Klimek
And here’s the second half have of the Next Picture Show mega-episode I recorded the week before last in my my parents’ kitchen, while my dad was in Fair Oaks hospital, and my brother, who’d just flown in from Tokyo, dozed on the sofa in the living room. That meant I didn’t need to ask him to leave the TV off for three hours while NPS regulars Genevieve Koski, Keith Phipps, and Tasha Robinson and I discussed Richard Donner’s 1978 Superman (the subject of the previous episode) and James Gunn’s 2025 Superman.
I repeat: I was filling in for Scott Tobias, and not one of us thought to exclaim, “Great Scott!” That’s negligence, if not malpractice.
