#60 - The incredibly underrated Superman III Novelisation (feat. Zach Moore!)
"Clark Kent, Superman - these are just names for the raw kinetic energy of Krypton, a planetary power at war with itself. That it could divide into equal halves, like night and day, was only one of its brilliant possibilities. It could, as well, destroy itself."
Rob proudly presents to Alan and special guest Zach Moore (from Always Hold Onto Smallville) what may in fact be the most underrated piece of Superman media of all time - William Kotzwinkle's incredible Superman III novelisation which combines the story of the film with some of the most beautiful prose ever put to a Superman story.
Why does the tie-in book for the weirdest Superman film of all have to hit this hard? Why is Gus Gorman's backstory so much more credible here than in the actual film? Why is everyone so horny in this book? What otherworldly extraterrestrial frightened the bejeepers out of young Alan? Why did none of the other Superman films receive novels as thorough as this one?
All of these mysteries of the universe and more explored!
PLUS! Alan gives his thoughts on "Super/Man: A Christopher Reeve Story"
