On this episode, JD and Megan discuss the second movie to debut in the new DCU in SUPERGIRL! The film has been quite divisive at best (shocking, we know), but its execution does leave something to be desired, even if it's affable on paper. We do our best to find the root causes of its failures while also highlight what does work about the film. What did you think of SUPERGIRL?

On this episode, JD and Megan discuss Michael Sarnoski's visceral new film THE DEATH OF ROBIN HOOD, starring an incredible Hugh Jackman! The film didn't get the marketing it deserved from A24, but there's plenty to love as it examines violence and the power of storytelling. What did you think of the movie?
