After Lunch

In the first of many episodes rerunning Carlin Trammel and Michael May's old Dragonfly Ripple podcast that they hosted with their kids, here's the show's debut in which Carlin shares Flash Gordon (1980) with his daughter Annaliese and Michael shares Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975) with his son David.

Michael, Rob, and Pax take a detour from the main Fast and Furious series to explore the ridiculous roads, spectacular cybernetics, and inspiring islands of David Leitch's Hobbs & Shaw, starring Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Idris Elba, and Vanessa Kirby.

Rob, Pax, Jacob, and Michael are back on Baker Street, this time with Edward "The Equalizer" Woodward and John "Higgins" Hillerman as Holmes and Watson in the 1990 TV movie, Hands of a Murderer.

Rob, Michael, and Pax wrap up this month's lounge with talk about new Dresden Files, what makes something a "classic," movies that make us cry, High Noon, Part II: The Return of Will Kane, Wuthering Heights (2026), and judging art "objectively."

Michael and Jess take a trip to 'Salem's Lot to talk about what works and what doesn't in Stephen King's legendary second novel.

Rob, Michael, and Pax re-enter the Lounge to talk about the Wonder Man TV show, Black Canary: Best of the Best, Dungeon Crawler Carl, eternity, death, and Rocky IV.

As is annual tradition around this time of year, Michael, Pax, and Noel Thingvall look back at the movies of 10 years ago and talk about their favorite (and also least-favorite) films of 2016.

Jetpack Tiger returns! Carlin and Dashiell Trammel watched last year's live-action remake of How to Train Your Dragon and you recorded themselves doing it. So queue up the movie, sync with this episode, and enjoy the Jetpack Tiger How to Train Your Dragon (2025) Commentary Track!

Michael, Rob, Pax, and Jacob gather one more time in Dartmoor to discuss the first Basil Rathbone Holmes film: 20th Century Fox's The Hound of the Baskervilles. Last month we talked about the Hammer version from 1959, so we do some compare/contrast to that as well as the Conan Doyle novel.

In the second half of this month's Lounge, Pax, Rob, and Michael discuss Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, Rob and the Ramblin' Man, our reading origin stories, our Star Wars homeworlds, and Ella McCay.
