With the Girl of Steel flying back into theaters next week, the MovieFilm boys revisit her first solo big-screen adventure, 1984’s SUPERGIRL. Join us as we talk through the cult fave DC Comics spin-off starring Helen Slater, Faye Dunaway and Peter O’Toole, its connections to the Christopher Reeve SUPERMAN series, behind-the-scenes challenges, and the state of comic book movies in the 1980s. Listen separately or watch along for a nostalgic look back at one of the most fascinating entries in the cinematic Super-saga!
