Supergirl

Here is part one of our discussion around the much maligned Supergirl – our first superhero flick, and the first movie that we weren’t really a fan of the original. Don’t you fear, this isn’t a Haterade filled episode at all, though we do certainly express our wishes for a much better product in our remake. This includes both Mark and Lee considering removing two of the major characters completely from the movie, adding ‘groundskeeper ripped’ to the series of phrases coined on the podcast (joining ’80’s Handsome’ and ‘Sponsor Comedy’), a comparison of Peter O’Toole and Alec Guinness in terms of their fit (or lack there-of) in major sci-fi projects, and equal parts damnation and appreciation for the villains’ overacting in the original.

PS: Sorry about one of the audio tracks sounding a bit sub-par – the tech gods conspired against us, but it’s not too bad.
