Supergirl

Nope.


We’re not watching the cheese-filled CBS show, we’re watching
Helen Slater fight Faye Dunaway in a very strange film from the
80s. arkOS creator Jacob Cook and the talented artist &
developer Jen Montes join the guys to review a piece of super
hero history, Supergirl.




Chris watched way too many documentaries like You Will
Believe: The Cinematic Saga of Superman to prepare for this
show. Meanwhile, Jen watched Supergirl religiously as a
child.




Like Superman III, Supergirl was panned by reviewers. Also,
it did not do well at the box office.




Note the poster on the Wikipedia page. There’s something
wrong with the Statue of Liberty.




“Look at the British Peters!” Shouts Paul. Meaning O’Toole
and Cook.




Why is that Brenda Vaccaro looking so familiar?




Chris live tweeted his viewing, the new version of show
notes.




Chris confuses who gets shrunk into who in Innerspace. And is
this where Kara’s city is?




Paul thinks the pocket universe is the inside of Zardoz’s
stone head.




Paul wonders if the spaceship flight is inspired by 2001: A
Space Odyssey.




Jacob thinks this can’t be anything but a space dildo.




Chris thinks Faye Dunaway is wearing the Cybill Shepherd
collection from Moonlighting.




Jen says “the flying ballet” scene is to remind us that
she’s a girl and we all cringe.




What’s America like? Truckers. Matt Frewer delivers the worst
dialogue as a trucker in a scene where Supergirl meets Max
Headroom.




We don’t like these writers very much.




Jacob wonders why all the A&W product placement. Even on
rapist truckers. Next on Law and Order: PZU (Phantom Zone
Unit).




Gardner guy is also the douchey guy from the first Die Hard
film.




Paul says there’s more magic in this film, but it is way more
boring than Doctor Strange.




Paul compares the lengthy flying scenes to the very long Star
Trek: The Motion Picture.




We have no budget so we’ve dressed all the bad guys like
their from THX 1138.




Is that a morlock in the Phantom Zone? Nope, it’s Peter
O’Toole!




Jacob suggests no one can replace Faye Dunaway in this film
except maybe Tilda Swinton. Chris argues making the film even
worse with Melanie Griffith.




Jacob recommends that listeners watch Labyrinth. Then, he
says we should review it on the show. Hmm…




Jen says you need to check out Barbarella. Paul says he
cannot make a better recommendation and jumps on this, well.




Chris suggests Electric Booglaloo: The Wild, Untold Story of
Cannon Films.




In the time since we recorded this, Jacob has launched an awesome
way to get your arkOS on, with his new hosted service Skylark.
Jen can be found on twitter or github. Thanks to both of them for
all the laughs. It’s probably our longest show because we spent
24 minutes laughing. Stay tuned for next season. It’s right
around the corner, by the time we post this! Thanks for
listening.
