Superman 3 (1983)

This month we continue our Superman rewatch and visit a chaotic
Richard Pryor movie. In this episode of Myopia: The Podcast, we
dive into the much-maligned Superman 3 (1983), a film that takes
the Man of Steel in some bizarre new directions. From Richard
Pryor's unexpected comedic role to the weird, campy tone that
sets it apart from its predecessors, we break down why Superman 3
is often seen as a quirky misstep in the franchise. Is it as bad
as its reputation suggests, or is there something surprisingly
endearing about this oddball sequel? Join us as we talk about the
strange balance of comedy and heroism, the infamous computer
scene, and why Superman 3 remains a unique chapter in Superman's
cinematic history. Strap in for a wild ride of nostalgia,
critique, and maybe even a little admiration for this
super-powered oddity!
How will Superman 3 hold up?
