Stargirl: Brec Bassinger, Luke Wilson Talk Comic Book Counterparts

Heading into the next episode of DC Universe and The CW's Stargirl and considering how things went last week, Courtney (Brec Bassinger) and Pat (Luke Wilson) don't have a choice. They're going to have to tell Barbara (Any Smart). Anyone else have that feeling that Courtney and Pat's path to "thruthiness" isn't going to go as smoothly as they want/hope it to? But before we offer you a look at how "Shiv Part Two" is shaping up, we're hitting "pause" and letting Bassinger and Wilson's co-star Joel McHale take over. In the following clip, the trio discusses how much (or little) comic book homework they did about their characters before filming began:

Stargirl season 1, episode 8 "Shiv Part Two": THE JSA GOES UNDERCOVER — After Courtney (Brec Bassinger) gets herself into some trouble following an unexpected confrontation, Pat (Luke Wilson) decides they need to come clean to Barbara (Amy Smart). Meanwhile, Cindy (Meg DeLacy) takes heat from her father after a plan to take matters into her own hands goes awry. Finally, Yolanda (Yvette Monreal), Beth (Anjelika Washington), and Rick (Cameron Gellman) lead an investigation into one of their own classmates. Neil Jackson, Trae Romano, and Jake Austin Walker also star. Geary McLeod directed the episode written by Paula Sevenbergen.
