So, as I (Matt) work my way through my 365 movies in 365 days project, last week I watched the Supergirl movie from the 80s. What a weird, wild movie. I bet some of you didn’t even know that this week’s Supergirl movie isn’t even the first one. Well, it’s not, and as good as…
Jadzia Axelrod and Nicole Maines join the show to talk about their DC Pride Month event miniseries Justice League: Dream Girls.
Cyclops is one of the greatest characters in comics, and that’s because he screws up so often that it is funny. Like, every time, it’s funny how he makes a bad decision. Ranked This Episode:

Much like the band Arcade Fire, the X-Men villain Arcade knows that more is more. Also we talk about Dawn, a thing that will only entertain my friend Robert. Ranked This Episode:
Of all of DC’s obscure characters outside the Bat family, two of Matt’s absolute favorites are the Elongated Man, Ralph Dibny, and his wife, Sue.

Cartoonist Dave Baker joins the show to talk about his new Oni Press graphic novel Halloween Boy Vol. 1: Last of the Halloween Boys.
