Michael, Rob, and Pax continue their occasional look at pulp and superhero serials with The Adventures of Smilin' Jack. It's one of Michael's favorites, but will Rob and Pax feel the same way? Starring Tom Brown, Keye Luke, and Rose Hobart.

Michael and Rob are joined by Ben Graham and new guest Nick Casbarro to talk about Nick's novel, Vitalerium: Descent into the Void, and then to determine the greatest spaceship of all time. And of course we determine that the only way we know how: by listing 16 of our favorites, putting them into tournament brackets, and voting on them until only one remains.

Michael and Rob are joined by Joanna from Bloody Popcorn and Shawn Robare to create teams of horror-themed athletes and terrifying events for them to compete in. Who will win the Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals? The Hex Pistols? Scare-istocracy? The Grisly Grahams? The Hellboy Hooies? Pick your favorite team and root them on!

Michael, Rob, and Pax go back into the Fast and Furious timeline to watch Better Luck Tomorrow, an early Justin Lin film that both he and actor Sung Kang have retroactively declared to be the first appearance of Han from the Fast and Furious series. It's a crime movie, it's a high school movie... it's a Fast and Furious movie? We talk about how well it works in all three of those categories.

Michael, Rob, and Pax welcome very special guest, Tyler Mane (X-Men, Rob Zombie's Halloween) to resurrect an old topic from After Lunch's early days.
