In this very special Between Takes episode of Missing Frames, legendary director Richard Donner joins Shawn to discuss Superman's 40th anniversary. Along the way, they discuss:

• The motivation behind Donner's decision to take the Superman seriously and to treat the source material with respect.
  
  
• How Donner convinced the amazing screenwriter and director Tom Mankiewicz to join his quest to bring Superman to the big screen. (Spoiler alert: it involves marijuana and a Superman suit)
  
  
• Working with the incredible cinematographer Geoffrey Unsworth and production designer John Barry to craft the film's unique visuals.
  
  
• Meeting Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder for the first time and how they won Donner over.
  ​
  
• Whether or not Donner ever got around to checking out Superman II, III or IV.

You'll also hear the incredible story of how Donner helped get Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster out of a tough spot as well as their reactions to the film.

For the historic 50th episode of Missing Frames, Shawn is joined once more by Brad Gullickson of ITMODcast and Rest.In.Pictures Podcast to watch one of Brad's favorite movies: Big Trouble in Little China. Will Shawn embrace this film the same way Brad has, or will its zany blend of martial arts, action and humor be too much for him? Tune in to find out.

They discuss the film's legacy, what it all means (and whether it really matters if you know what it all means) and the difference between 'boring' and 'slow.'

In this episode of Missing Frames, John Mills and Matt Hansen join Shawn to discuss the Halloween franchise, specifically Halloween II (1981) and the new Halloween 're-quel.' Shawn, a fan of John Carpenter's original Halloween, has never seen any of the sequels. This gave him the unique experience of being able to watch David Gordon Green's new Halloween film the way it was intended to be seen: as a direct sequel to the original. Afterwards, he went back and watched the original Halloween II. Which film will emerge the victor?
