Did Supergirl earn her killing of the already defeated villain, or did the movie just tell us not to worry about it? Matthew Fox is joined by returning guest Jessica Plummer, comics journalist and Book Riot contributing editor, to dig into Supergirl 2026, from the internet’s reaction to star Millie Alcock to whether the film’s ethics hold together at all. Jessica has been a Supergirl fan since long before the character’s 2000s comeback, and brings that history to bear on a film both hosts found entertaining but morally scattered.The conversation covers a sex trafficking subplot that gets dropped almost as fast as it’s introduced, a Lobo cameo with no real purpose, and a needle drop so literal it borders on parody. Matthew and Jessica land on the same verdict from different directions: a perfectly watchable movie that never figures out what it’s trying to say. So which is worse, a movie that doesn’t ask hard questions, or one that asks them and shrugs?
