Supergirl (1984)

Hell yeah

XTC have a rad Supergirl song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HT7v-orQLw

I was obsessed with this movie as a kid but hasn’t thought about it since. I also collected silver age Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen comics so I was very excited to hear reference to Beppo and Crypto. Pets wearing capes is a good vibe

I wish I could’ve seen a visual of Stanger hearing that Superman may own a gorilla.

Was teleported back to the mid 90s during the discussion of “tigerglencoe’s residence, tigerglencoe speaking”

2 different Howard Jones songs were featured in the movie. I hate that I know his songs and I hate that they were in this movie

This movie definitely is in the Gwildor Cinematic Universe

There is a great book called Superman vs Hollywood that chronicles the movies up until Man of Steel. It has a chapter about Supergirl where it reads that Reeve was supposed be in the movie and teaches Kara how to use her powers when she first arrives to earth. Allegedly there was this elaborate flying scene that was choreographed but Reeve dropped out at the last minute.

The shortage between budget and production value is easily explained by Peter Cook and Peter O’Toole’s bar/mini-bar bills. 🥴

Honestly thought Stanger would be a Mr. Pibb advocate

This felt like a movie based on a rough draft of someone’s fan fiction graphic novel version of the supergirl origin story set in the writer’s crappy Midwestern hometown

“The Love Witch” is great, feels like a tribute to homemade exploitation flicks from the 60’s and 70’s, but modern. Could fit into the Something Weird catalog. The lead is also incredibly beautiful and had bit part in “once upon a time in Hollywood” and I think by sheer hotness was falsely rumored to be dating Brad Pitt.

I understand why you don’t have guest’s anymore but this one really could have used a woman’s perspective

“I can’t fuck. I can’t write. I’m cancelled.”

Thank goodness supergirl was there to save all those other showering “co-eds” from being pranked by being scalded with boiling hot water.

We deserve a 4 hour long Snyder cut of Supergirl.

Even the NFL bumper cars featured an all-white cast.

Honestly, I envy the strength of will that Rodgers displays with his healthy lifestyle. It’s when he gets an air of superiority about it that raises my hackles. I suppose what I’m saying is that I secretly love Rodgers but I am crushed by the fact that I’ll never have him. C’est la vie. 5 stars.

The additional Stanger sister was almost as big of a surprise as the secret dancing career. 5 star episode.

Cryptids from Kryptin

Tom King wrote a Supergirl comic called Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.

Totally agree that Argo city has big Krull vibes. Always thought that as a kid. The set design and soft focus just made me think of the beasts lair

are you aware of the power of shadows?

Think the ABZ have mentioned doin the Jaws & Raiders episodes in a bit of a regretful way before, but damn I thought those eps were really good too. Cool to hear the Boyz get hyped up on how good of a movie is

Makes sense same dude made Masters of the Universe it felt in the same world as this

I really liked evangelical interference Dar.

Does this mean my pre-ordered low impact ABZ marbles are gonna be delayed AGAIN?! I can only take so much of this abuse!

My Dad took me to the theater to see Buckaroo Banzai at the age of 4, and I only made it through about 15 minutes before crying, so we went to see this instead and I somehow remember how disappointed he was.

I love Stanger and the action boyz so much. Kisses for Stanger
