This week on the Everything Actioncast, Zach and Chris soar into 1984’s Supergirl as the latest version of the Woman of Tomorrow opens in theaters.
Helen Slater made her film debut as Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, who heads to Earth from “Innerspace” to recover the Omegahedron, a powerful device that keeps her home of Argo City functioning. The Omegahedron falls into the hands of Selena (Faye Dunaway), a witch who seeks to use the device’s power for her own nefarious ends. Zach and Chris discuss all the A&W and Popeye’s product placement, Supergirl’s biggest foe being a runaway piece of construction equipment, a large portion of the movie turning into a Porky’s knockoff, Zaltar (Peter O’Toole )’s weird eagerness to be cast into the Phantom Zone, and more.
You can watch Supergirl on HBO Max. Next week, we’re celebrating our Independence Day and discussing the 1996 classic as it turns 30.
