Long-time PGS Member, Kenny Kraly Jr., writes into the LET’S GET PHYSICAL MEDIA show to ask for their predictions on the possibility of getting more Superman movies out on 4K Blu-Ray.
A lot of little fixes could be made to the Superman movies with a new 4K release.
Hello Rob and Dieter,
First off, great work on the show. I’ve been a huge fan of Let’s Get Physical Media for the last few years and love the show.
My question or comment for today’s e-mail is on the rest of The Superman Films Superman 2-4 of Christopher Reeve and Superman Return and will they ever get a 4K UHD release from Warner Home Video someday?
I do hope someday Warner Home Video does put out the rest of the Superman films Superman 2 both cuts, Superman 3, Superman IV: The Quest For Peace and Superman Returns all out on 4K UHD Blu-Ray Disc or on Digital. I do think Superman 2 both cuts The Theatrical Cut and The Richard Donner Cut would be the most logical choice for a new 4K UHD Transfer plus I don’t think too much color correction needs to be done where as Superman 3 and Superman IV: The Quest For Peace needs a lot of color correction done with his suit.
As for Superman Returns well, to put it bluntly, it needs a ton of work if a new 4K UHD Blu-Ray Disc were to come out someday. 1st off it needs some color correction done to his suit because in a lot of shots it looks too green or closer to turquoise also needs a new transfer. So here’s hoping for new 4K UHD Blu-Ray Disc Releases of the rest of The Superman movies to come out someday.
Well, those are my thoughts on the subject Rob and Dieter what are yours?
Thanks, guys and keep up the super amazing work?
Sincerely, long-time listener and Physical Media Collector,
Kenny Kraly Jr., from Ohio
Does “stunt casting” work?
Imagination Connoisseur, ROBB, shares his thoughts on how Star Trek: Discovery handled its casting of Democratic politician, Stacey Abrams, as the president of a united Earth in the show’s finale. Personal politics aside, ROBB seems to feel Star Trek’s producers missed an opportunity to send a message about unity at a time when we could all use it.
On the topic of “Gatekeeping” …
Imagination Connoisseur, Jason Miller, writes a letter of support for ROBSERVATIONS host, Robert Meyer Burnett, who has recently proclaimed himself the Gatekeeper of Geekdom. Jason shares his experience defending RMB’s joke (made on Twitter) and arrives at an inescapable conclusion that everyone should probably take to heart.
Attention Star Command, there seems to be a problem with Buzz Lightyear
ROADTRIPPIN’ co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden respond to letters from listeners proposing a variety of reasons as to why Pixar’s latest animated feature, LIGHTYEAR, didn’t meet expectations during its opening weekend. Was it a result of bad casting, a strained relationship between studios, convoluted marketing or stronger-than-expected competition? No one is sure – but it’s possible the problem runs much deeper than an origin story for an action figure might let on.
How to accept Star Trek now so you don’t go insane!
Imagination Connoisseur, Adam Talley, writes in to explain how he now views the Star Trek franchise – a way that acknowledges the “good old days” so many OG fans pine for and the new innovations we’re seeing in stores, online, and in theaters.
Why is Obi-Wan the most boring thing about the Obi-Wan Kenobi streaming series on Disney+?
ROADTRIPPIN’ co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden discuss the broader implications of a question posed by an Imagination Connoisseur who asks why Obi-Wan Kenobi is such a boring character in his own series. In fact, one could ask why so many Star Wars series seem to be “running in place” and not really going anywhere with characters who don’t seem to be doing all that much. Is there a larger force at work here that no one seems to acknowledge? And where have we heard THAT before?
Does it make sense to remake good movies?
ROADTRIPPIN’ co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden respond to a letter from an Imagination Connoisseur who asks why Hollywood seems content remaking and re-booting successful movies rather than making movies with “great potential” that might have not met expectations when they were first released to the public. As Rob and Mike point out, there’s a lot more involved in a successful remake than one might imagine.
Rob comes out and admits he’s THE Gatekeeper of Fandom
Co-hosts Robert Meyer Burnett and Mike Bawden discuss Rob’s recent revelation that he is, in fact, THE GATEKEEPER OF ALL FANDOM and what Imagination Connoisseurs can now expect of him serving as the judge, jury and adjudicator of all things geeky. Plus interesting letters from fans.
Lots of Star Trek-y goodness on the Interwebs lately
In less time than it takes for a tribble to become a grandparent, here’s a list of the eight most interesting, Trek-related things we’ve found worth sharing with our fellow Imagination Connoisseurs …
Making a case for LIFE after ALIEN
Imagination Connoisseur, S’wak Props, thinks Ridley Scott could have done much better when it came to making a sequel to his 1979 sci-fi/horror classic, ALIEN. Instead of Scott’s ALIEN COVENANT, S’wak recommends you check out Daniel Espinosa’s LIFE which includes Jake Gyllenhaal and Ryan Reynolds among others in the cast.
