SUPER GIRL - Film Review with Special Guest Brose Avard

This week on the podcast, Ben and brose dive into the world of superheroes with a review of the new DC Studios film Supergirl 2026. Starring Australian actress Milly Alcock. The film takes Superman's cousin in a very different direction and our hosts have some thoughts on its merits and drawbacks. They discuss the film's origin story, which comes from the comic book series A Woman of Tomorrow and how it deviates from the traditional Supergirl narrative. The hosts also weigh in on the film's action sequences, music and the performances of the cast. Including Millie Alcott and Jason Mamoa. They discuss the importance of representation in superhero films, particularly for female characters and how the film's female-led cast brings a fresh perspective to the genre. The hosts also touch on the film's themes of identity, power and responsibility. Plus how they relate to the superhero genre as a whole. Ben mentions that the film's cinematography is impressive, with a mix of action-packed sequences and more emotional moments. Brose also praises the film's use of music. Which features a mix of classic and new songs that fit the tone of the film. However, they also criticise the film's decision to include some darker elements. Such as violence and mature themes, which may not be suitable for all audiences. If you're a fan of superhero movies or just looking for a fresh take on the genre, this episode is a must-listen.
