Special Edition – Supergirl
Summary
Hosts Conor Kilpatrick, Paul Montgomery, and Josie review the new DCU film *Supergirl*, directed by James Gunn. They praise Millie Alcock’s performance but criticize the movie as a loose, underdeveloped adaptation of *Woman of Tomorrow* that feels derivative of *Guardians of the Galaxy*. The group discusses the confusing plot, excessive crypto themes, and Lobo’s unnecessary cameo, ultimately rating the film lower than the preceding *Superman* movie.
