But it's particularly his performance as Superman's dad in the first Superman film.

Okay.

Where, like, he has to say the word Krypton, the planet where Superman is from.

That's exactly how he says it.

He says Krypton.

Oh, God, Krypton.

He says Krypton, though.

And everyone else in the movie says Krypton.

And I'm sure at some point somebody's like, you know, Marlon, it's actually pronounced Krypton.

Poor male actors.

It must have been hard to be Marlon Brando.

But I brought this up in sort of a similar context with Sean Penn, because he knew Marlon Brando.

And I was like, oh, it's just weird that Brando wouldn't do that.

Like, what was going on?

And he suggested that actually not pronouncing Krypton correctly was Brando's way of sort of retaining some part of himself, even though he was doing this sellout movie.

It's like, oh, I can take your money, but I'm not giving you my soul.

And I thought, oh, that probably is what was going on.

Like, he had to hold on to some...

measure of artistic independence, even though he knew he was doing this thing that was kind of like, it was a paycheck job.

Yeah.
