Christopher Reeve brought Superman to the big screen, and it was a huge success. At least the first two movies were huge successes. After a disappointing Superman III, Cannon Films graabed the rights and tried to bring success back to the Big Blu Boy Scout with Superman IV: The Quest for Peace. Reeve was back along with Margot Kidder and Gene Hackman. Up and coming stars Muriel Hemingway and Jon Cryer were added. Succes seemed to be in the cards. The movie had bad effects, a bad story, and it killed the Superman movie franchise for decades.

Join Ty and RD as they discuss the movie Superman IV: The Quest for Peace and reflect on the legacy of one of the worst films ever made.
