Backstory.  I'm a huge Superman (Chris Reeves, I'm old) fan.  Andy and Katie know I hate Superman 3 and 4 with a deep unreasonable passion, especially the 4th.   Every time it comes on TV, a little bit of me dies inside.

It’s done out of love. And that I’m a complete asshole

The brilliance of Superman IV is unsurpassed. People simply refer to at as "the IV" and the room goes silent as the genius of the work is considered...

It is cinema veritae. A classic in the same way Citizen Kane and Gone With the Wind and Godfather are classics. 
 

I’ve often heard how Spielberg used it for inspiration when making movies and we know how good he is

<shudders>.  Yes.   The only good thing in that movie was the junkyard fight.   I remember going to the drive in (yes, again, I'm old af) with my dad.  And even as a 9 year old, I knew something was just off.  It was like nobody's heart was in it anymore.  And the stupid director, Richard Lester, who used to direct slapstick comedy fucked it up.   The beginning title sequence was just pure shit and as I grew up, it got worse and worse.  It was traumatic for me.

The REAL reason you hate that movie is when Superman is drinking and he's got a Johnny Walker red label bottle
