In this episode we discuss the Supergirl Season 5 finale, Episode 19 “Immortal Kombat”. Joining us is longtime listener and contributor, Leslie. We recorded this episode on May 25, the day that George Floyd was murdered. We have delayed releasing this because we wanted our focus and your focus to be on the Black Lives Matter movement. We want the focus to be on ending police brutality and racial inequality that continues to permeate the US and the world. We recognize that we all need something to unwind to at the end of the day. If this episode is that for you, please know how happy that makes us and enjoy!

In this episode we discuss Supergirl Season 5, Episode 16 “Alex in Wonderland”. They finally came back to the Jeremiah story and *SPOILER ALERT* he’s dead. Alex’s coping mechanisms aren’t great so she retreats into the nightmarish hell scape she visited last episode, virtual reality. While in VR she lives out her dream of being Supergirl and rocks the best wig Supergirl has ever used. We get to see one of Margot’s hobbies, collecting comatose people stuck in VR, but it makes her smile, so we’ll allow it.

In this episode we discuss Supergirl Season 5, Episode 14 “The Bodyguard”. Supergirl is tasked with being Andrea’s bodyguard from an unknown entity that is trying to kill Andrea. The only thing that suffers in the attacks is the integrity of the structure of the Catco building. Seriously, do they have extra insurance on their elevators? Kara makes a questionable decision that we think is based on a trope that has been used ad nauseam. We also briefly discuss the power wielded by fishnet stockings.

In this episode we discuss Supergirl Season 5, Episode 13 “It’s a Super Life”. Supergirl's 100th episode blew us away! It was funny, intriguing, devastating, and inspirational in all of the ways we know Supergirl can be. We see characters from seasons passed that we have missed and some that we haven’t missed, but they turned out to be not so bad in this episode. Erin cleverly gives each reality a name. The names are all Lena centric, because why wouldn’t they be?

In this episode we discuss Supergirl Season 5, Episode 12 “Back from the Future, Part 2". Evil Winn is back and so is OG Toyman! Winn’s daddy issues are front and center in this episode. Alex drops the D.E.O. like a bad habit and we couldn’t be happier! We also decide our Legion codenames.

In this episode we discuss Supergirl Season 5, Episode 11 “Back from the Future, Part 1”. We got Winn back! We also got Toyman Winn. Is there such a thing as too many Winns? We get off the rails for a bit talking about Barenaked Ladies. The band! Get your mind out of the gutter! We also talk seriously about the discourse in the Supergirl fandom over the last week.

In this episode we discuss Supergirl Season 5, Episode 10 “The Bottle Episode”. So many Brainys! Yet somehow, not enough. We LOVE Brenda Strong and hope she is here for the rest of the season. Kara decides the truth is the best road - it only took her 4 years. We try to wrap our heads around alternate time lines. Wtf is Lex really up to? Whatever it is, we think Lena is a step or two ahead of him.

Shelley and Erin talk about the final two hours of Crisis on Infinite Earths. As you can probably guess, we are dying to see Lena and know what she’s up to after retaining her memories on Earth Prime. We love to hate Lex, but we need him to bounce over to Superman and Lois (#NoPodThough). We have a lot of questions and a few hot takes about the things left out of the resolution to Crisis, but we’re still glad it happened and that you all stuck with us while we spiraled into our Crisis obsession. Our apologies for some of the sound glitches in this episode – we are currently breaking up with the way we record our episodes and will have a post-breakup sound glow up once we find a new recording software on Tinder. We’re looking for one who loves dogs and has a good sense of humor. Did we take this metaphor too far? Probably.
