This week Mary and David tried to see The Odyssey, but that was a no-go with Imax showings sold out until the end of August. So then they thought they should see the movie Obsession and talk about the YouTube-ification of horror films, but no – the projector crapped out that night.

The Fansplainers – Supergirl

[https://i0.wp.com/www.sneakydragon.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/75-Supergirl.jpg?resize=500%2C741&ssl=1]https://i0.wp.com/www.sneakydragon.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/75-Supergirl.jpg?ssl=1 This week Mary and David watched Craig Gillespie’s Supergirl. Gillespie has directed a couple of films that Mary and David love – I, Tonya and the Fright Night remake – so they were really looking forward to this film. They talked about the gross hate campaign directed at yet another female-led superhero movie; admired the backstory that explains so much of Kara’s behaviour; got irretrievably stuck on James Gunn’s Peacemaker series; and overall enjoyed the movie quite a bit despite a few reservations. Not sure what to make of this latest iteration of Supergirl? Well, let Mary and David fansplain it for you!
