About this episode
The Garage Heroes in Training crew takes a detour from their usual automotive talk to dive deep into a summer movie preview. The team debates the merits of the new Supergirl film, with resident comic book enthusiast Alex sharing his disappointment despite his love for the source material. From analyzing director Craig Gillespie's transition to big-budget films to comparing James Gunn's DC universe with past failures, the crew offers a lively, unfiltered discussion. They also share hilarious tangents about their ultimate movie theater snacks, from Slurpee addictions to Cheeto-flavored popcorn.

Ford Lobo
"Villain, villain. And the last one's going to be Lobo. Oh my God, that was so terrible."
The Ford Lobo is a large pickup truck made by Ford. It is actually just the famous Ford F-150, but it is sold under the name 'Lobo' (which means 'wolf' in Spanish) in Mexico.
The Ford Lobo is the marketing name used for the Ford F-150 pickup truck in Mexico, specifically designated for the mid-to-high trim levels. Introduced in the 1990s to appeal to younger buyers, it shares its platform, powertrains, and utility with the standard American F-150. It is often discussed by truck enthusiasts due to its unique badging and distinct regional branding.

"...uys think? Do you think that Jason Momoa can pull Orion Reynolds? No."
The Ford Orion is a small, four-door sedan that was sold in Europe during the 1980s and early 1990s. It was designed as an affordable family car and was essentially a version of the Ford Escort hatchback but with a traditional trunk.
The Ford Orion is a compact family sedan produced by Ford Europe from 1983 to 1993. It was developed as a traditional three-box sedan version of the highly popular Ford Escort hatchback to appeal to buyers wanting a conventional trunk.
