Supergirl is officially Hollywood's latest bomb. It is a real big bomb indeed. We are now looking ahead to see if Christopher Nolan's transgender and transracial version of The Odyssey is going to bomb as well. I have more faith in Christopher Nolan, so I'm kind of hoping it doesn't, but this, after a slew of Hollywood disappointments, whether we're talking about Star Wars, whether we're talking about Marvel, it just keeps happening. And there's one weird trick that Hollywood can employ that would turn their fates around. We have the numbers. I'm Michael Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
Welcome back to the show. I'm Michael Knowles, hoping you're all having a lovely 4th of July week. I am certainly, I'm not big on vacation. I don't do it a lot, but I'm doing it this week. So I'll be back like live in person with the creme de la creme in the Membrane segmentum on Monday, but I'm not doing that right now.
And yet I can't quit you. I can't leave you. So I had to at least pipe in. I had to do a little like a little pre-tape, a little something because of one of my favorite phenomena that occurs in our culture, which is that Hollywood keeps just totally bombing, keeps screwing up and doesn't learn the lessons. There's a lot more to say first, they'll go to goodranchers.com, use code Knowles, Kennedy, U-L-E-S. Most Americans assume the beef that they're buying at the grocery store was raised in America. It was not. More than 85 percent of grass-fed beef sold in the US is imported from overseas, often from countries with far lower standards for how animals are raised and what goes into the supply chain. Go to GoodRanchers. You're going to get the best beef. It's going to be from America. It's not going to be stuffed full of all weird chemicals and hormones. It's from some of the best people I know, actually, period, and definitely in business. It's just a wonderful, wonderful company. But most important, as far as I'm concerned, you're not only paying the lowest prices, it's just so, so good. The Wagyu burgers are the best burgers you're ever going to have. The steaks are, there are too many magnificent steaks to name all of them, though I now recommend, I would say the bone-in ribeye and the filet mignon are now topping the chart. You get the seed oil-free chicken nuggets. It's awesome. This July, start a plan, get free meat with every order, every order, plus 50 bucks off your first order with Code Knowles. Go to goodranchers.com, use Code Knowles, Kennedy, WLAS, a checkout. That's free meat with every order and $50 off when you start a plan. goodranchers.com, American meat delivered.
Supergirl, which I didn't see. I will have no intention of seeing. Supergirl bombed. It's a really big box office bomb. It's probably going to lose $100 million, maybe up to $125 million. That's a pretty bad one. And everybody is blaming Millie Alcock. Millie Alcock, whom I had never heard of before this movie. Mr. Davies is really up on all this stuff, especially the young women I'm noticing. He's really into all of them. He's very pro Millie Alcock. She's into some kind of weird crush or whatever. But he said, Michael, it's not all her fault. So he said, let me examine the evidence. We already covered it on the show a week or two ago. Millie Alcock talking about how it's great because the new movie is not really about a man. So you get a little tinge of that wokeness. Here's another one in which Millie Alcock says that the movie is breaking down gender limits for women.

**SPEAKER_4** (4:27)
I think because she doesn't live inside the binary of what we think a woman should be, that is what makes her so special and so exciting and so new.
