Superman and the Mole Men (1951)

August’s theme is “ADOLESCENT POWER FANTASY” which means we’re FINALLY getting to a Superhero movie theme, but we ain’t gonna be watching some “Age of Ultron” shit yet because we’re getting to the godfathers of where we’re at today as well as adventure film influences from even earlier times. It’s Superman week and we’re revisiting the classics and starting with the first ever Superman feature film outside of a serialized format. The iconic George Reeves dons the cape in the 1951 feature “Superman and the Mole Men” which led directly into the popular 50s TV show. Clark Kent and Lois Lane go to write up a story about the world’s deepest oil rig and it becomes a real story when little Mole Men pop out of a hatch and go peeping in windows and pissing off the townsfolk. Can Superman save these little dudes from a frothing mob? Nah. He fails actually. Then Superman gets murdered. SYKE
