Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema’s biggest box office failures and decide whether they deserve a second chance. We are celebrating five years of discussing cinematic flops!
This week, Troy and Brad rocket back into the Superman universe—only this time, it’s his super-powered cousin stepping into the spotlight. That’s right, we’re soaring into 1984’s Supergirl!
Armed with an all-star cast and the legacy of Krypton’s favorite son, Supergirl set out to capture the magic of Superman... and crash-landed in the Phantom Zone of bad ideas. Incoherent plot? Faye Dunaway as a power-hungry sorceress? Weird romantic subplots no one asked for? Faster than a flying Omegahedron and stranger than a witch in an amusement park—this movie has it all.
Tune in as the guys uncover if Supergirl is a misunderstood gem or a cinematic kryptonite bombshell. Either way, the truth will shock you!
Supergirl is directed Jeannot Szwarc and stars by Faye Dunaway, Helen Slater, Hart Bochner, Peter Cook, Mia Farrow, Marc McClure, Maureen Teefy, Brenda Vaccaro, Simon Ward, and Peter O’Toole
