Ep 235: Supergirl

SPOILERS!!!!

Dave's just back from vacation in Maine, so he and Cody recorded this one as an unedited, free-flowing conversation. They review Supergirl, the second film in James Gunn's rebooted DCU.

They dig into Milly Alcock carrying the movie almost single-handedly, the grief and trauma (and Krypto violence) at the story's core, the choices with the ending, the literally-too-dark visuals, and Lobo as a wasted character.

Plus a callback to Cody's earlier hot take on the pre-release backlash, the Deeper Themes turn on grief and connection, a Tom Hardy recast, and an honest split on whether we're nearing the end of the theatrical era.

This is an unedited live conversation, so expect a looser, shorter hang than usual.

Movie reviewed: Supergirl (2026) — Directed by Craig Gillespie, written by Ana Nogueira, based on Tom King's comic. Starring Milly Alcock, Eve Ridley, Matthias Schoenaerts, and Jason Momoa as Lobo. In theaters now.
