In this two-part episode, we take a deep dive into the making of Superman II, starring Christopher Reeve, Margot Kidder, Gene Hackman, and Terence Stamp. Released in late 1980, this sequel to 1978's Superman the Movie earned rave reviews from both fans and critics alike, despite the film having changed directors more than halfway through production. Join us as we discuss the movie in detail, including all the behind-the-scenes turmoil that plagued the film throughout. We also take a closer look at the now famous "Donner Cut", an alternative version of the film, comprised of director Richard Donner's original footage, outtakes, and early screen tests between Reeve and Kidder.

Directed by David Fincher, Seven was one of the first psychological action dramas of its kind, combining neo-noir and horror storytelling elements with rarely seen film editing techniques to illustrate the story of two detectives hunting a serial killer, who uses the seven deadly sins as the basis of his crimes.
