Just because it's not clear anywhere: they are in fact watching the theatrical cut

“What would you do if there was a sexy moon woman?” I would schtup her, and while doing so I would announce "this is one small schtup for man, but one giant lay for mankind".
Paul Chandler
Great film, but would seem a weird thing to bring up.
Pete Dennis
My favourite part was just hearing how much Ben was enjoying the movie . I love Superman 2 so much .
Daniel
Is this the Donner Cut?
Jackson Bishop
Was fully expecting David to pitch Griff on Toy Man during the Superman Rogues Gallery conversation.
Kyle
I was a little disappointed they didn’t bring up Parasite when they were going through his rogues gallery.
Carol
100% agree with David on Lane Smith being the definitive Perry White performance.

Favorite Terence Stamp mod pretty boy fact - he and Julie Christie are the "Terry meets Julie" in 'Waterloo Sunset' by the Kinks.

Have never seen a single Superman film and this isn’t inspiring me to do so anytime soon.

My dad worked on a sci-fi epic with Terence Stamp that has since been collectively disappeared for being Not A Real Movie. My dad is also the kind of dad to (not purposefully) one up his kids in coolness whenever they're talking to him about anything. For instance, when I decided it was time to get into the Velvet Underground in college my dad was there to tell me about his buddy who dated Nico. All to say, when I came out to my dad as bisexual one of the first things he said to me was "people thought me and Stamp were a thing for a while." Love you, dad.
