Episode 213 - Supergirl (1984)

It's a new year and we're hitting the ground running as we talk about one of the most infamous superhero missteps in the history of comic book movies. Helen Slater, in her first feature film role, dons the blue and red in order to take on Faye Dunaway as they both vie for the heart of that one guy from Die Hard. It's Supergirl on this week's episode of They Called This a Movie. Join us as we discuss the wild set pieces, the vaguely sexist plot, and a title sequence that cost way too much money in 1984.
