    Here is our breakdown of SUPERGIRL (1984) PATREON : https://www.patreon.com/ProdigiousSaps JOIN: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJaU6rw754l-Z0HQ4SB3gwA/join SUBSCRIBE on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@prodigioussaps?sub_confirmation=1 Prodigious Saps No. 56: "Zip ZAP!" Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/5w-wB04kNrk This movie is so weird! Which is something you will hear us say about a dozen times in the episode, honestly due to sheer disbelief and the resultant lack of words. Similar to Brendan never having seen Superman III and IV, this was one that Chad had never seen. Not because he was actively avoiding it... he just literally never had any interest in seeking it out. Is it bad? Oh yes. The movie is so innocuous we can't be bothered with feeling disappointed. It's kinda like airplane food... of course it's flavorless and unsatisfying, but what did you expect?
