Last updated on March 9th, 2016 at 02:06 am SUPER TALK AT THE COFFEE SHOP | SUPERGIRL S01E12 |BIZARRO Kara faces a Bizarro-Doppelgänger! Blue Kryptonite!  Maxwell Lord knows Supergirl and Alex are sisters!  Poor Kara – no more lovey dove with Cat’s son, Adam!  And the alien from Alien attacks Supergirl at the last minute – Yikes! Take a listen and feel free to share with all your friends.  On second thought, don’t just “feel free” to share… just do it! Not a lot of notes for this episode, although we really enjoyed doing the podcast this week and had a lot of fun with it – I’ll be back to flesh this out later. 🙂 [https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.0.1/72x72/1f642.png] * Mary Shelley, Prometheus Unbound is also known as Frankenstein. * Maxwell Lord runs Prometheus Genetics and scoops up comatose girls that look like Spergirl.  Apparently there are a lot of brain dead blondes in the area. * Way to talk your sister into dating, the timing’s never going to be right, so just go for it. * Love Pentagram?  Winn, Jimmy, Lucy Lane, Adam Foster, Kara…? * Seriously, a girl can’t have a first kiss without having to fight your own doppelgänger?! * Cat: “I ordered an Amber Alert!” * Lamest excuse for a breakup I’ve ever seen. * Is it Winn’s plan to tell Jimmy Olsen to go for it with Kara so that he gets fired by Cat for ending out her son, Adam, and then that leaves the field open for Winn? * I like how Alex body slammed Max Lord – way to defend the fam! * Lol, Jimmy Olsen is the Damsel in Distress! * It’s a ListerineBattle of Bad Breath between Bizaroo and Supergirl * I like Max Lord’s comparison of Truth, Justice, and the American Wya to Gitmo/Guantanomo Bay. * Cat’s speech to Kara about her breakup with her son, Adam, showed that she had been hurt – more than her son had been hurt. * Really??  The Alien from Alien is lying in wait for Kara in her apartment?  This wouldn’t have happened if she was eating ice cream and watching TV with her sister on the couch like normal. • This episode of our podcast is dedicated to all the semi-evil Doppelgangers of the word out there… you know who you are…Thanks to Starbucks for providing a safe haven, lots of chai, tea, and coffee for the recording of this podcast radio show.

Last updated on March 9th, 2016 at 02:18 am SUPER TALK AT THE COFFEE SHOP | SUPERGIRL S01E11 | STRANGE VISITOR FROM ANOTHER PLANET Supergirl saves an anti-alien senator that sounds a tad like Donald Trump from a mysterious monster – who it turns out has killed Hank’s family and entire race on Mars back in the day.  Kara writes to Cat’s estranged son, Adam, AS Cat!  Cat throws down!  But somehow Adam ends up asking Kara out on a date – Hel-lo!! Take a listen and feel free to share with all your friends.  On second thought, don’t just “feel free” to share… just do it!  We’ve got a Clammr [https://www.clammr.com/]button/Share Clip on the podcast and it’s a great way to share a snippet of our podcast on social media, too. [Avast, ye mateys!  Affiliate Links ahead!] Good forest fire CGI as we start off the episode with Supergirl saving an Hispanic-looking family living in a very old trailer out in the forest.   I noticed right away because there are so few Hispanics on the screen and I’m Hispanic.  The best portrayal we have right now is Cisco [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vibe_%28comics%29#Live_action] on CW’s [http://www.cwtv.com/]The Flash [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00T5D4SLU/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00T5D4SLU&linkCode=as2&tag=maasc02-20&linkId=IIA73TKPFCT5UWIJ][http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=maasc02-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00T5D4SLU] – who represents both the Hispanic community and everything that is awesome about Geeks.“…post-rescue swagger” 😎Kara is going through the age-old bane of all girls in their high school, college, and beyond years… Your guy friend like likes you and you don’t like him back.  Girls always mean it when they say, “Can we still be friends?”  But guys never do. We’ll see how it goes with Winn since he’s actually a cast member on the show, he can’t just ride off into the sunset to lick his wounds… Or can he?And then immediately, Kara meets a potential new love interest in the coffee shop… Like never happens in real life.  We know… We podcast in a coffee shop!And, seriously?!  Kara is really THAT naive to not recognize such BLATANT flirting?Cat Grant has the reputation where she “breathes fire and eats babies” 😉The anti-alien rally shows parallels with our country’s own illegal alien struggles right now.  Is that you, Sheriff Joe [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Arpaio]?Cat Grant: to the Supergirl version of Sheriff Joe [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Arpaio], “She is a lightning rod for bigots, hippies, and aliens, and yes, that is the order in which I detest them.”Cat is STILL calling Kara, Kiera… Too funny.Cat Grant: “You better get us a quote that will offend virtually everyone.” Yes, The Hometown Geek [http://everybodyshometowngeek.com/] believes very much that is  what the media is instructed to do on a daily basis.“…excellent click-bait.”No humanizing moments for Cat Grant last episode, they’re saving them all up for this one.  Adam… The Feels.Cat’s constant back and forth with Kara reminds me of The Dread Pirate Roberts [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dread_Pirate_Roberts] in The Princess Bride [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008FD36IC/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B008FD36IC&linkCode=as2&tag=maasc02-20&linkId=ZGMSS24NXLSR2WBX][http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=maasc02-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B008FD36IC], “I’ll most likely kill/fire you in the morning.”  Kara keeps getting to keep her job, just like Wesley kept getting to keep his life.Winn: “Just don’t.  Please.” 🙁  😥  😳Senator Crane about aliens:“We need to know where they live, what they do, and WHO they eat.” Hmmm… Fear monger much?  Or maybe she’s seen V: The Miniseries [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00005B8UD/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00005B8UD&linkCode=as2&tag=maasc02-20&linkId=EM74GPEYDQ6MBJLI][http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=maasc02-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00005B8UD]?A dome… Or a wall?  Shades of Donald Trump [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_presidential_campaign,_2016].“Monsters are coming for your families.”And, of course, then they do.ALRIGHT!  Jimmy reprogrammed his signal watch to go to Supergirl now instead of Superman!And now we go to the whole bigot gets to know the object of their hate and then starts to count them as “one of the GOOD ones.”  Except maybe not… This bigotry runs deep.Aex: “Sedative.  You’re welcome.”Are we encountering the one who destroyed everyone on Mars?  Yup, White Martians [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Martian].  Although, we have one that turned awesome [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miss_Martian] and joined the Young Justice [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M4LACC4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00M4LACC4&linkCode=as2&tag=maasc02-20&linkId=5FARWY6YJU4JVWNF][http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=maasc02-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00M4LACC4] team, so there’s always hope.Edgar Rice Burroughs [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Rice_Burroughs], did, in fact, have White Martians [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barsoom#White_Martians] in his John Carter, Warlord of Mars series of books [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1907960023/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1907960023&linkCode=as2&tag=maasc02-20&linkId=FCKLFWOSTFJOASVX][http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=maasc02-20&l=as2&o=1&a=1907960023] (John Carter is from Arizona in the books!) starting all the way back in 1917.And so THAT’s where J’onn gets his insane fear of fire from.Supergirl’s look of determination as she pledges to bring in the White Martian is just so darn cute!Is Cat Grant rubbing the bodies of dead babies on her face in some frightening Faustian [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faust] bid to remain ever youthful?Cat Grant: “I’ve handled Putin [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_Putin], Pope Francis [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Francis], and Taylor Swift [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MRHANNI/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00MRHANNI&linkCode=as2&tag=maasc02-20&linkId=WFHRK7OOCECJNBCJ][http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=maasc02-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00MRHANNI].”The song we liked and referenced is Maneater by Grace Mitchell [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H5G58EK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00H5G58EK&linkCode=as2&tag=maasc02-20&linkId=ROKMNBND5S7O6NOD][http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=maasc02-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00H5G58EK] (originally done by Hall & Oates [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0018R37K4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0018R37K4&linkCode=as2&tag=maasc02-20&linkId=L6T5AE7RMEPGLN6T][http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=maasc02-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0018R37K4] )What the heck is Jimmy taking pictures with?  Is he developing film?  In this day and age?  If you’re a photographer and know, please email us at EverybodysHometownGeek@gmail.com [mailto:EverybodysHometownGeek@gmail.com]Ooooo… Senator Crane is the White Martian!  We’ve got shapeshifting madness afoot!“…comic book delusions.”So J’onn J’onzz [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martian_Manhunter] is pretty much a Holocaust survivor in this version of the Martian Manhunter [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martian_Manhunter].Cat Grant: “sunny Danvers sentimentality.”And then Cat pronounces Kara’s name correctly.  More Feels.Melissa Benoist [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melissa_Benoist]does the best adorkable ever – the scene where she goes to Adam on Cat’s behalf.Ha!  And now Kara is a family counselor!  😉   How to Say You’re Sorry and Get in Right Relationship 101The hunt for the White Martian – seriously, no protocol on fighting a shapeshifter?  Great CGI (or makeup) on Senator Martian in the sewer!Supergirl: “We don’t choose.” Choose who dies, when we die?  Is this against Suicide, Assisted Suicide?GREAT Martian language!Lots of beautiful father-daughter bonding.It must’ve been Winn [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Supergirl_characters#Winslow_.22Winn.22_Schott.2C_Jr.]‘s week off.Finally, Sheriff Joe/Senator Crane comes to see the light.Soooooo Cat approves of Kara as a love match for her son?They finally also acknowledge the whole Kiera vs. Kara thing that’s been going on for the last 11 episodes…. To which I chuckle at every time.Adorkable Kara getting asked out on a date by Adam. 😆We end with TV and ice cream time with sisters – I love these endings.Maxwell Lord’s secret from Room 52 comes out to play in our cliffhanger of a Supergirl doppelgänger.Greg, Hometown Geek’s Resident Token Male, is now president of the White Martian Fan Club.This podcast is dedicated to all the Tanyas of the world.   You know who you are.

Another new post full of awesomesauce at Everybody's Hometown Geek! Last updated on March 9th, 2016 at 02:08 am SUPER TALK AT THE COFFEE SHOP | SUPERGIRL S01E03 | FIGHT OR FLIGHT Supergirl accidentally reveals that she’s Superman’s cousin to Cat Grant. Seriously?!?! Battle with Reactron. And Jimmy has an ex-fiancée?! Whaaattttt?!?! Take a listen and feel free to share with all your friends.  On second thought, don’t just “feel free” to share… just do it! This episode of the CBS TV show, Supergirl [http://www.cbs.com/shows/supergirl/]… Wherein we discuss Jimmy Olsen’s change of race and how changing a beloved character, first established in 1938, in comics and TV’s search for diversity affects long-time fans. The Hometown Geek is all in for diversity, but is still the Hometown Geek who loves comic books and tradition so doesn’t think they can get totally behind the death of Ginger Jimmy Olsen.Possible other podcasts for Everybody’s Hometown Geek to start up are discussed such as Daredevil and an in depth chat on The Man in the High Castle [http://www.amazon.com/The-Man-In-High-Castle/dp/B00RSGIVVO] premiering on Amazon Prime Streaming, by authorPhilip K. Dick [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philip_K._Dick] who also wrote the book, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep [http://www.amazon.com/Do-Androids-Dream-Electric-Sheep/dp/0345404475/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1453989683&sr=1-1&keywords=do+androids+dream+of+electric+sheep], which inspired the classic Harrison Ford movie, Blade Runner [http://www.amazon.com/Blade-Runner-Final-Harrison-Ford/dp/B0012PDVUS/ref=sr_1_2?s=instant-video&ie=UTF8&qid=1453989758&sr=1-2&keywords=blade+runner].  As a bonus treat, some of the X-Files creators are also involved with The Man in High Castle.We also discuss how Amazon picks its original shows by fan voting.• Superman’s appearance on the show and what his place should be on Supergirl.• Issues with seemingly everyone knowing Supergirl’s secret identity and how it might be a “womanly” trait to share more with your friends than your male counterpart, Superman.• The Hometown Geek accurately predicts (several episodes ahead) who Hank Henshaw actually turns out to be.Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_City_%28DC_Comics%29]:National City derives its name from DC Comics’ former company names, National Periodical Publications, previously known as National Allied Publications and National Comics.• Which is what The Hometown Geek thought, but had only guessed at during the podcast, but is now confirmed.• We try to accommodate Greg, our new co-host, who’s never seen the show before, by going over a couple of Supergirl TV series points.• Greg poses the question, what’s it like to kiss a Woman of Steel and wonders if she could crush a guy with her lips of steel.• The Hometown Geek asks if Supergirl has ever been kissed before, she seems pretty naive in the dating game.• The uproar of taking out “Truth, Justice, and the American Way” in the last 2 Superman movies, but it was in tonight’s Supergirl episode.  What does it all mean?• This episode of our podcast is dedicated to all the Gingers of the world.Thanks to Starbucks for providing a safe haven, lots of chai, tea, and coffee for the recording of this podcast radio show.
