    The Supergirl Trailer

    The Supergirl trailer from DC Comics and WB is finally here, and in this episode I share my reaction to it. I dive into the biggest moments, the bold visuals, and the clues we’re getting about Kara’s journey—especially the clear influences from Tom King’s Woman of Tomorrow and the gorgeous artwork by Bilquis Evely and Matheus Lopes. With Milly Alcock starring as Supergirl, Craig Gillespie directing, and a screenplay by Ana Nogueira, this film is shaping up to be something truly exciting and with its release set for June 26th, 2026, I break down what this first look reveals about the tone, world-building, and character direction, and why the trailer has me more hyped than ever for Supergirl’s next chapter.My Supergirl Playlist:Apple:https://music.apple.com/gb/playlist/supergirl-woman-of-tomorrow/pl.u-NjMGCpDYKxrSpotify:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4cCZk3DSBsb4lEQY3SBnJK?si=GvtMttSaSTuWnLNqIpBTsQ&pi=807OBTr1Sl2gi&nd=1&dlsi=0c19f1c8c39540e4Thanks for listening.

    LUKE UP with Superman Actor Trevor Newlin AKA Mr. Handsome

    This episode is part of my Luke Up series which celebrates James Gunn's Superman film and I’m thrilled to be joined by the amazing Trevor Newlin. Mr Handsome! Trevor is a talented creature actor who’s brought some unforgettable characters to life — including a Wookiee, a Xenomorph, and most recently, the scene-stealing Mr. Handsome in Superman. We chat about his journey from theatre in Texas to the world of big-screen movie monsters, and how a life-changing moment with Doug Jones helped launch his career in suit performance. He shares stories from the set, the creative process behind Mr. Handsome, and what it felt like when James Gunn himself praised his performance (yes — Groot comparisons were made!). This episode is full of heart, laughs, and a behind-the-scenes look at the magic of practical effects, collaboration, and why Mr. Handsome might just be the most comfortable creature suit ever made. I loved this conversation, and I hope you do too — let’s Luke Up and fly into another Superman adventure!
