After Superman III and the following film Supergirl (which we’ll get to in a couple months) failed to make much of a dent in the box office, as well as meet fan expectations, the Salkinds finally took the hint and sold the Superman property off. And who they sold it to is one of the most infamous stories in filmmaking history.

Anyone who has seen the documentary Electric Bugaloo knows who and what the Cannon Group represented in the late 70s and early 80s. With schlock like the Death Wish sequels and Chuck Norris actioners in their resume, they were far from a respected film production company. Yet, with the purchase of the He-Man and Superman properties, they were intent on changing that perspective.

Maybe we’ll talk about what happened with Masters of the Universe another day. But for now, we talk about Superman IV: The Quest For Peace. Listen in as the boys dissect all of their thoughts on the movie going into this viewing, and then talk about what has been called one of the worst films of all time.

The Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast has treaded waters like this before in the DC Universe. See our Catwoman and Batman and Robin reviews. Will this one be just as unpredictable? Only one way to find out!

And be sure to stay until the end, as the guys reveal what their next retrospective will be. Hint: it’s continuing a previous one.
