Supergirl Deals With “Survivors,” New Arrivals and a Dull Villain

November 1, 2016 By Tom Speelman Leave a Comment

Supergirl Roulette

Like the vast majority of superhero fiction, Supergirl is not one for subtleties. That makes sense in terms of the genre but also when you consider the broad, prime-time audience it’s trying to reach (which definitely includes kids). That’s great in a lot of respects–see the Alex/Maggie stuff from last week and the brilliant bits of both […]

On Supergirl, “The Last Children of Krypton” Deal With A New Status Quo

October 24, 2016 By Tom Speelman Leave a Comment

Supergirl Cadmus Metallo

So if last week’s Supergirl was all about establishing itself in a new space–literally and figuratively– this week’s is all about setting up the season’s arc. That’s typically reserved for premieres and while “The Adventures of Supergirl” covered a lot of ground, it didn’t introduce the big bad–the xenophobic doctor of Cadmus who turned John Corben into […]

Exclusive Premiere: Cave People “Small”

October 17, 2016 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Cave People

Philadelphia indie band Cave People are in the process of releasing their new album Sinning Tree via Stereophonodon Records (preorder it here!) but they were kind enough to come to Loser City with a premiere of their track “Small.” Bridging the low-key poetic melancholy of the Silver Jews and the thick, rugged sounds of Archers of Loaf, […]

“The Adventures Of Supergirl” Tells A Lot And Mostly Succeeds

October 12, 2016 By Tom Speelman Leave a Comment

Supergirl Melissa Benoist Superman CW

The Season 2 premiere of Supergirl, “The Adventures of Supergirl,” has a lot of stories to tell. I don’t just mean the handful of plot threads it barrels through from last season and all the new ones introduced but also the three meta-stories it has to convey. Those stories are: Supergirl, having moved from CBS to […]

Just Another Unfortunate Thing: On Paul Qui and Redemption

August 22, 2016 By Nick Hanover Leave a Comment

Paul Qui

Back in March of this year, not long after news broke that celebrity chef Paul Qui had been arrested for assaulting his girlfriend and endangering her child, Dan Solomon wrote a piece in Texas Monthly confronting the narrative that emerges around abuse and abusers, arguing in its headline that “How we talk about Paul Qui’s […]

“The Day Tennyson Died” Indicates That Season Three Might Be Penny Dreadful’s Best

May 6, 2016 By Nicholas Slayton Leave a Comment

Penny Dreadful Season 3 Dr Jekyll

Penny Dreadful Season 3 Episode 1 “The Day Tennyson Died” Let’s get it out of the way: Dracula has arrived. Penny Dreadful started out as a strange, Gothic adventure, throwing audiences right into the world of vampires, Egyptian magic and a collection of characters from Gothic and Victorian literature, or at least those that fit […]

Supergirl’s Season Finale Proves There Are “Better Angels” In All Of Us

April 21, 2016 By Tom Speelman Leave a Comment

Supergirl J'onn J'onz

So even at this late date, CBS hasn’t announced whether or not Supergirl has been renewed. That’s deeply, deeply unfortunate. While the naysayer could just write it off as yet another unfortunate reminder of Hollywood’s obsession with superheroes, to those who actually watched the show and paid attention, it’s obvious this show is serving a […]

Supergirl Juggles “Myriad” Threads But Can’t Make Them All Stick

April 12, 2016 By Tom Speelman Leave a Comment

Supergirl Myriad

After taking a week off to allow us all to recover from the wonderfulness that was “World’s Finest,” Supergirl is back with its penultimate episode, “Myriad.” With its finale next week, the show has a lot to get through–or at least a lot to both resolve and tease out for a potential next season (the […]

#SupergirlXTheFlash: The “World’s Finest” Is The Superhero Teamup We Need

March 29, 2016 By Tom Speelman Leave a Comment

Supergirl Flash World's Finest

Like a lot of people this weekend, I didn’t see Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. Life is too short and precious to spend time on terrible versions of cultural icons and two of my heroes grimacing and growling at each other for TWO AND A HALF HOURS and also murdering people. Screw that noise; […]

Supergirl Reaches An Exciting New Status Quo With The “Manhunter”

March 22, 2016 By Tom Speelman Leave a Comment

Supergirl Manhunter

Last week, Supergirl upended itself by not only having Kara go bad, nearly kill Cat Grant and turn all of National City against her as a result of Red Kryptonite. But the episode saved it’s biggest twist for last with Hank Henshaw revealing his true identity as J’onn J’onzz to help take Kara down. That’s obviously something […]
