321: Superman II: The Donner Cut

July 13, 2025

Look up in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! …No—it’s The Donner Cut of Superman II!

On this week’s episode, Jack, Hunter and I are soaring into the alternate dimension of one of the most fascinating ‘what-ifs’ in superhero cinema, The Donner Cut. Richard Donner’s original vision for Superman II was famously sidelined… until 2006, when fans finally got to see what could’ve been.

We’re breaking down the major differences, the behind-the-scenes chaos, and whether this cut truly delivers truth, justice, and the Donner way.

Up, up, and away—we’re diving into Superman II: The Donner Cut!
