Talking "Superman" '78 on The Next Picture Show
Chris Klimek
I’m on the marvelous podcast The Next Picture Show! I recorded my appearance last Wednesday night live from 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. Which prevented me from asking 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 and James Gunn’s 2025 Superman — the subject of the next Next Picture Show — in one marathon session. I was filling in for Scott Tobias, and not one of us thought to exclaim, “Great Scott!” That’s negligence, if not malpractice.
