Superman Series Episode 4

The eye is easily frightened. — Ralph Waldo Emerson

1983 was a banner year for computing.  Microsoft Windows was announced,  Lotus spreadsheets were released and the first IBM clone PC was sold by Compaq.  And Gus Gorman builds a supercomputer that becomes self-aware, turns humans into cyborg slaves, and tries to kill Superman!  This third installment in the Superman film series, this one directed entirely by Richard Lester, relied more on laughs than action, with comedian Richard Pryor taking a co-starring role.  How does the mix of comedy, action, and inner conflict work in this Superman film?  Listen to find out!
