Pod Off Course

We’re back with Supergirl episodes 6x08, 6x09, and 6x10! There’s so much to discuss and so little time left in the series!    We’re on Twitter! Find us @podoffcourse for the show.

We did a live stream of a Q&A for Supergirl Season 6, episode 7, “Fear Knot” forever ago and I’m (Shelley) just now posting it as a podcast.  We initially combined this with episodes of Batwoman as well, but for listenability I’ve edited it by show the best I could. You might hear us talk about Batwoman (a show you should be watching) or our other podcast, Red Hairing (a podcast you should be listening to), just think of it as subliminal suggestions and jump on those trains.   Endorsements:  Erin - @seizetheokay instagram account https://www.instagram.com/seizetheokay/ Shelley - The Psychology of Time Travel https://www.amazon.com/Psychology-Time-Travel-Novel/dp/1683319443    We’re on Twitter!

We discuss Supergirl 6x06. Brainy and Nia’s adventure in 2009 Midvale concludes with a playlist full of bangers and some very cute moments. Rules of time travel be damned, we’ll still accept this episode as a fun one.   We’re on Twitter! Find us @podoffcourse for the show.

We discuss Supergirl 6x05, a beautiful blast from the past complete with bat tricks, plot holes that we’ll forgive, Kree, twinkle lights, cute superpower reveals, and, of course, Dolly Parton. We stuck with the live format this time, so let us know what you think!  Instead of endorsements this week, we each named our 8 favorite superheroes in honor of National Superhero Day. You can find that at the 1:24:20 mark.  We’re on Twitter! Find us @podoffcourse for the show. Shelley is @schop23 and Erin is @erniegreenbean. 

In our first live recording, we discuss #Supergirl 6x03 and 6x04. We’re not sure how to feel about Nyxly, we need so much more Alex and Kelly, and Brainy and Lena are giving us life. Also … Alex (and Lena) needs help with her alcohol dependency like yesterday.    You can find us on Twitter! Shelley is @schop23 and Erin is @erniegreenbean.

We discuss episode 6x02. Be warned: we’re pretty upset about Alex telling Kelly about Kara off screen and the Lex of it all, but there were still some positives! We ponder the possibilities of the Phantom Zone storyline and look forward to the rest of the Supergirl season.    Endorsements: Shelley: Turning the Page Podcast from Brainstorm Comics: https://podcast.brainstormcomics.com/  Brainstorm Comics YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMVhh7_2R9gcAUHIeJD3VOQ    Erin: Brothers and Sisters: https://www.hulu.com/series/brothers-sisters-f5b3f0f0-b0c4-46d7-8e7a-0bbebfdb9b30    We’re on Twitter!

For Supergirl’s sixth and final season premier, we go back to our roots and cover the episode chronologically. We discuss whether Alex’s new weapon is cool or a cop out, how gay Lena and Kara’s interactions were (very), and how painful that ending was. Also … can they please be more careful with the Fortress? And how did Kelly not know?  We’re so excited about this season and can’t wait to see what’s to come!    Endorsements:  Erin - Harry Styles’ Fine Line album https://open.spotify.com/artist/6KImCVD70vtIoJWnq6nGn3?si=9OeQ1F5IQWKWvlsaLzK18Q   Shelley - Thunder Force https://www.netflix.com/title/81079259   You can find us on Twitter!

In this episode, we discuss Supergirl Season 1, Episode 3, “Fight or Flight”. We also talk about the, recently announced, final season to our beloved TV show. Our hot take is that Cat has known Supergirl’s secret identity from the beginning and you should try watching it through that lens. Also, Erin is brandishing and twirling knives because they are passionate about Cat coming back in the final season (Shelley is pleased with these developments). We delve into the physical properties and melting point of lead with DIY info, because why not?!?   Endorsements   Shelley - Islands of Mercy by Rose Tremain - Read by Katie McGrath (looks like it’s available in the US now possibly): https://www.kobo.com/ww/en/audiobook/islands-of-mercy   Erin - A Million Little Things - Season 1 and 2: https://www.hulu.com/series/a-million-little-things-f03f355c-a6cf-4494-83cb-494ccd5afa92     You can find us on Twitter!    Shelley is @schop23    Erin is @erniegreenbean    The show’s Twitter page is @PodOffCourse   You can also c

In this episode, we discuss Supergirl Season 1, Episode 2, “Stronger Together”.  We also try to answer the important questions like - how do boats actually transport oil? How does women fashion work and are women’s pant usually very tight fitting? Are you afraid of snakes? I don’t think we actually answer any of them definitively, but we have a good time trying. There are some outtakes after the outro that highlights the struggles of podcasting or Shelley’s struggle to podcast. There is also a shout out to the late great Ruth Bader Ginsburg in this episode, which was recorded before her passing.   Endorsements Shelley - The Great Hack https://www.netflix.com/title/80117542   Erin - The Old Guard https://www.netflix.com/title/81038963   Supergirl Season One Soundtrack https://open.spotify.com/album/0USwmo4Xa53TCzyFLfRk0r   On the Basis of Sex Showtime: https://www.sho.com/titles/3454689/on-the-basis-of-sex Amazon Prime Video: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B07M5HLCKH/ref=atv_dp_share_cu_r    You can f

We decided we didn’t want to wait until 2021 to talk about Supergirl, so we are doing a Supergirl Season 1 rewatch! We weren’t podcasting when Season 1 originally aired, so we thought we would take advantage of the hiatus and talk about the episodes from our favorite season of the show! In this episode we discuss Supergirl Season 1, Episode 1, “Pilot”.     Endorsements   Shelley - Funkoverse: DC Comics #100 4 pack board game https://www.amazon.com/Funko-Pop-Funkoverse-Strategy-Game/dp/B07RMBCCZT   Erin - Little Voice (Apple TV+) Little Voice   You can find us on Twitter!    Shelley is @schop23    Erin is @erniegreenbean    The show’s Twitter page is @PodOffCourse   You can also contact us via email at podoffcourse@gmail.com

In this episode we discuss the Supergirl Season 5 finale, Episode 19 “Immortal Kombat”. Joining us is longtime listener and contributor, Leslie. We recorded this episode on May 25, the day that George Floyd was murdered. We have delayed releasing this because we wanted our focus and your focus to be on the Black Lives Matter movement. We want the focus to be on ending police brutality and racial inequality that continues to permeate the US and the world. We recognize that we all need something to unwind to at the end of the day. If this episode is that for you, please know how happy that makes us and enjoy!     Endorsements   Shelley - Identity Crisis (Comic Book) https://www.comixology.com/Identity-Crisis-New-Edition/digital-comic/331211?ref=c2VhcmNoL2luZGV4L2Rlc2t0b3Avc2xpZGVyTGlzdC90b3BSZXN1bHRzU2xpZGVy   https://www.dcuniverse.com/collections/identity-crisis     Erin - Comedians of the World (Netflix) https://www.netflix.com/search?q=comedians%20of%20the%20world&jbv=81008236&jbp=0&jbr=0    

We’re changing things up this episode! Life demanded our attention and got us behind in recording and editing. So to get new episodes out as soon as possible, we doubled up and during this show we will be talking about Supergirl, season 5, episodes 17 and 18. We will be reading listener feedback and sharing our reactions to the episodes right along with words of our listeners.

In this episode we discuss Supergirl Season 5, Episode 16 “Alex in Wonderland”. They finally came back to the Jeremiah story and *SPOILER ALERT* he’s dead. Alex’s coping mechanisms aren’t great so she retreats into the nightmarish hell scape she visited last episode, virtual reality. While in VR she lives out her dream of being Supergirl and rocks the best wig Supergirl has ever used. We get to see one of Margot’s hobbies, collecting comatose people stuck in VR, but it makes her smile, so we’ll allow it.     Endorsements   Shelley - If you are able to or are looking for a small business to support, support your local comic book shop.

In this episode we discuss Supergirl Season 5, Episode 15 “Reality Bytes”. We talk about the lengths that Nia is willing to go to keep the trans community safe. With the help of listener feedback, we might have our answer to whether or not Kara is really a reporter. We both receive an invitation to a virtual Hogwarts escape room.

In this episode we discuss Supergirl Season 5, Episode 14 “The Bodyguard”. Supergirl is tasked with being Andrea’s bodyguard from an unknown entity that is trying to kill Andrea. The only thing that suffers in the attacks is the integrity of the structure of the Catco building. Seriously, do they have extra insurance on their elevators? Kara makes a questionable decision that we think is based on a trope that has been used ad nauseam. We also briefly discuss the power wielded by fishnet stockings.   Endorsements   Shelley - Superman: The Animated Series - Season 2, Episodes 27 and 28, “Little Girl Lost” parts 1 and 2 https://www.dcuniverse.com/videos/watch/little-girl-lost-part-i/b279d1e8-c26a-4149-b5d2-a969f4821d59/   https://www.amazon.com/Blasts-Past-Part-1/dp/B001C9N0AK/ref=sr_1_3?crid=33P1QHKJ1M1HN&dchild=1&keywords=superman+the+animated+series&qid=1584628289&s=instant-video&sprefix=Superman+the+an%2Cinstant-video%2C134&sr=1-3     Erin - Laura Benanti’s (Alura/Astra) Twitter has

In this episode we discuss Supergirl Season 5, Episode 13 “It’s a Super Life”. Supergirl's 100th episode blew us away! It was funny, intriguing, devastating, and inspirational in all of the ways we know Supergirl can be. We see characters from seasons passed that we have missed and some that we haven’t missed, but they turned out to be not so bad in this episode. Erin cleverly gives each reality a name. The names are all Lena centric, because why wouldn’t they be?     Endorsements   Shelley - Archive of Our Own (AO3) - fanfiction website https://archiveofourown.org/     Erin - Black Lightning Soundtrack (Spotify playlist) https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3qGqms0DEgxW0gqxl0ZRTq     You can find us on Twitter!    Shelley is @schop23    Erin is @erniegreenbean    The show’s Twitter page is @PodOffCourse   You can also contact us via email at podoffcourse@gmail.com

In this episode we discuss Supergirl Season 5, Episode 12 “Back from the Future, Part 2". Evil Winn is back and so is OG Toyman! Winn’s daddy issues are front and center in this episode. Alex drops the D.E.O. like a bad habit and we couldn’t be happier! We also decide our Legion codenames.     Endorsements   Shelley - Visible: Out on Television (Apple TV+) https://tv.apple.com/us/show/visible-out-on-television/umc.cmc.1zkna505r4jre6fh7mjcncio0     Erin - The Ballroom Thieves  - Unlovely (album) https://open.spotify.com/album/2m3noMJ9uRE96xWFOczIfv     You can find us on Twitter!    Shelley is @schop23    Erin is @erniegreenbean    The show’s Twitter page is @PodOffCourse   You can also contact us via email at podoffcourse@gmail.com 

In this episode we discuss Supergirl Season 5, Episode 11 “Back from the Future, Part 1”. We got Winn back! We also got Toyman Winn. Is there such a thing as too many Winns? We get off the rails for a bit talking about Barenaked Ladies. The band! Get your mind out of the gutter! We also talk seriously about the discourse in the Supergirl fandom over the last week.     Endorsements   Shelley and Erin Endorsement Combo:   Be kind.   Do something good.   The Good Place. https://www.netflix.com/title/80113701   The Good Place Podcast. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-good-place-the-podcast/id1388743215   https://open.spotify.com/show/3WQCJ4KJQnnlkB4bx8Aef0   Barenaked Ladies https://www.barenakedladies.com/splash/     You can find us on Twitter!    Shelley is @schop23    Erin is @erniegreenbean    The show’s Twitter page is @PodOffCourse   You can also contact us via email at podoffcourse@gmail.com

In this episode we discuss Supergirl Season 5, Episode 10 “The Bottle Episode”. So many Brainys! Yet somehow, not enough. We LOVE Brenda Strong and hope she is here for the rest of the season. Kara decides the truth is the best road - it only took her 4 years. We try to wrap our heads around alternate time lines. Wtf is Lex really up to? Whatever it is, we think Lena is a step or two ahead of him.     Endorsements   Shelley: “Armada” by Ernest Cline https://www.amazon.com/Armada-novel-author-Ready-Player/dp/0804137277/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1580220464&sr=8-1   Erin: Ologies (Podcast) https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ologies-with-alie-ward/id1278815517   https://open.spotify.com/show/5nvRkVMH58SelKZYZFZx1S   Marc Guggenheim article from TV Line that we referenced last show: https://www.tvinsider.com/849033/crisis-on-infinite-earths-flash-ezra-miller-oliver-queen-death/     You can find us on Twitter!    Shelley is @schop23    Erin is @erniegreenbean    The show’s Twitter page i

Shelley and Erin talk about the final two hours of Crisis on Infinite Earths. As you can probably guess, we are dying to see Lena and know what she’s up to after retaining her memories on Earth Prime. We love to hate Lex, but we need him to bounce over to Superman and Lois (#NoPodThough). We have a lot of questions and a few hot takes about the things left out of the resolution to Crisis, but we’re still glad it happened and that you all stuck with us while we spiraled into our Crisis obsession. Our apologies for some of the sound glitches in this episode – we are currently breaking up with the way we record our episodes and will have a post-breakup sound glow up once we find a new recording software on Tinder. We’re looking for one who loves dogs and has a good sense of humor. Did we take this metaphor too far? Probably.  You can find us on Twitter! Shelley is @schop23 and Erin is @erniegreenbean.
