The Scrappy Making of Independence Day

Supergirl (2026) Nerdy Review | What Worked for Me

After seeing DC Studios' newest film twice, I break down the things that stood out to me the most—from Kara Zor-El's emotional journey and the destruction of Krypton and Argo City to Millie Alcock's performance, the relationship between Supergirl and Ruthie, and the impressive visual effects work created by studios like ILM, Digital Domain, Framestore, and more. I also discuss David Corenswet's appearances as Superman, where Supergirl may fit into James Gunn's growing DC Universe, and just why I didn't have the greatest feeling after leaving the theater. Did Supergirl work for you, or were you hoping for more from DC's latest film? 🎧 Available on Spotify | Apple Podcasts | iHeart Radio | YouTube Music | Audible | Amazon Music | Podbean | Podcast Addict — just search The Silly Nerdy & Wordy Podcast.
