  Hello and welcome to your PCJ Pop for the week.
• 0:10
  My name is Shana and I'm Olivia and I am going to pop a movie that came out pretty recently
• 0:16
  but I just saw and I really enjoyed it.
• 0:19
  I'm going to Pop ‘Supergirl.'
• 0:21
  It is the 2026 movie from the DC Universe starring Millie Alcock as Karazor L/Supergirl.
• 0:29
  It is based on the Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow comic series.
• 0:34
  I thought this movie was delightful.
• 0:36
  I mean, it's got a dog in it.
• 0:40
  It's got Milly Alcock being silly.
• 0:43
  It's got a dog in it.
• 0:45
  It's got a dog in it and that'll do it for the PCJ.
• 0:48
  No, Krypto is so cute.
• 0:53
  We first met him in Superman and now he's back in Supergirl.
• 0:57
  I was talking about the coin.
• 1:00
  I was like, "Grip, don't, no, the dog."
• 1:02
  What is it?
• 1:03
  What is it?
• 1:04
  I'm talking about a dog.
• 1:08
  So Supergirl is a really cute movie.
• 1:10
  It's definitely not something that's life-changing or one of the greatest superhero movies of all
• 1:17
  time but it is getting a lot of pushback online from the in-sell community that always
• 1:23
  craps on female lead superhero movies or a movie where a woman is the lead in a nerd
• 1:30
  or comic book series.
• 1:32
  I think that is just so unjustified.
• 1:35
  This movie was super fun.
• 1:37
  I had a smile on my face.
• 1:38
  The action was great.
• 1:40
  It's not without its flaws.
• 1:42
  Like I said, it's just a good popcorn fun time.
• 1:45
  I think that Millie Alcock was a good Supergirl.
• 1:49
  I thought she was funny and cute.
• 1:51
  She was great.
• 1:52
  I was the house of the dragon.
• 1:53
  I love her.
• 1:54
  Yeah.
• 1:55
  Yes.
• 1:56
  So by the young Raniera, exactly, spoiler alert.
• 2:03
  Should I spoil if the dog dies or not?
• 2:05
  Because I googled it.
• 2:06
  I googled it before I went into the movie.
• 2:09
  The dog doesn't die.
• 2:10
  He's fine.
• 2:11
  He gets a booboo but he's fine.
• 2:14
  And did I cry?
• 2:16
  Yes, I cried.
• 2:17
  Did my husband say, "Shana, that's a CGI dog."
• 2:21
  It's not a real dog.
• 2:23
  It's not even a real dog.
• 2:26
  It's based off of James Gunn's dog.
• 2:30
  It's not a real dog because the dog is from Krypton so it can fly and has like superpowers.
• 2:35
  They didn't just cast a real dog in it.
• 2:39
  There's no real dog at any point.
• 2:40
  It's all fake dog.
• 2:41
  I think it's CGI dog.
• 2:43
  Kind of like a rocket raccoon.
• 2:47
  It's a real raccoon.
• 2:48
  He's not a real raccoon.
• 2:50
  It's a movie's AI.
• 2:52
  It's AI that the flying dog isn't real.
• 2:56
  Anyway.
• 2:57
  Pack it up.
• 2:58
  Pack it up, James Gunn.
• 2:59
  We were rooting them for you.
• 3:01
  I'm excited to see where James Gunn's DC universe go.
• 3:06
  I like how colorful everything is and how fun everything is.
• 3:10
  And I'm going to say pop supergirl.
• 3:12
  Give it a whirl.
• 3:13
  I liked it.
• 3:14
  I smiled.
• 3:15
  And that's it for your PCJ Pop.
• 3:17
