3 JUL 2026 · In Issue #8 of The Tesseract Files, Carlos Pikerie welcomes back iHeartRadio producer Stephen Chamberlain for The Eye Test, a conversation that cuts through the noise surrounding one of the year's most talked-about superhero films: Supergirl.With social media, YouTube, and online pundits quick to declare a movie a hit or a disaster, it's becoming harder than ever to separate genuine criticism from clickbait.

Along the way, they discuss the growing influence of online fandom, review culture, and whether audiences should trust the internet's hottest takes—or judge a film for themselves.Join The Tesseract Files as we ask whether the loudest voices are always the most accurate, and whether Supergirl deserves a second look.
