The time has come—we’re taking a detour from Smallville to revisit the one, the only… Supergirl: The Movie (1984). This wild ride starring Helen Slater has everything: invisible monsters, Omegahedrons, and Faye Dunaway doing the most. Is it a forgotten classic? Or is it… really, really bad? Join us for a hilarious and heartfelt dive into the camp, chaos, and cape drama of this infamous Superman spin-off, and find out how it holds up (or doesn’t) in the legacy of Krypton’s finest. Plus: We’re sharing some behind-the-scenes facts, connections to Smallville, and where this movie ranks among the DC deep cuts.
