Superman IV: The Quest For Less
Description
After spending three and a half hours celebrating the majesty of Superman: The Movie, the gang does the only logical thing: follows it up with a bite-sized descent into Superman IV: The Quest for Peace—the Cannon Films spectacular that launched a villain made of solar power and bad ideas.
Adam, Jeff, and Steve try to piece together the plot, physics, budget, and wig glue holding this thing together, while Louis bursts in with a passionate defense of Nuclear Man (and insists there was a toy line). Highlights include:
- Why Lacy Warfield should be dead in space
- How Nuclear Man is secretly drag royalty
- Elevator-based villain takedowns
- Whether Superman fixed the economy
- A very real moon fight
- The ghost of Cannon Films
- A Superman III derailment full of trauma and peanuts
It’s short. It’s chaotic. It’s nuclear. And it may have just become our new favorite disaster.
