Up, up, and away! This week, the Nerd Best Friends head to the theater to review Supergirl! Joining us are special Patreon guests Maria, Juliana, and Josh as we share our immediate reactions to the film, dive into our favorite moments, and compare the movie to the beloved comic book that inspired it.

Did the adaptation capture what made the comic so special? What changes worked? What surprised us? And, of course, we nerd out over the characters, performances, world-building, and all the little details only fellow fans would notice.

Whether you've already seen Supergirl or you're deciding if it's worth the trip to the theater, grab your cape and join us for a fun, spoiler-filled conversation about the newest entry in the DC Universe.

Grab your capes, grab your tissues, and get ready to fly into another epic Nerd Book Club adventure! This week, Analese and Rob dive deep into Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, the beautifully bold and heart-wrenchingly heroic comic that has taken the nerd world by storm. We’re talking space cowboys, moral quandaries, epic quests, and a Supergirl story that punches you right in the feels — in the best nerdy way possible. Plus, the Nerds ask the real questions, like: how often should heroes get therapy? Could we survive intergalactic travel without snacks? And what exactly counts as a space horse? Saddle up, nerd herd — we’re going cosmic. Analese is tired of the same ol' tropes and Rob is loving the space western awesomeness. Also, Dr. Intern Joan is back!

As always, we want to hear from YOU! Did you read along? What did you think of Supergirl’s story? Who do you want to see in the next Nerd Book Club pick?
