This week we take an in depth and spoiler filled look at “Andor Season 2!” The latest Star Wars series on Disney Plus might not be quite as great as Season 1 because it feels like they tried to get too much done in a single season but it still pretty darn good. Listen to our hot takes!

Hey – another episode about a super hero movie! This time we are talking about Fantastic Four: First Steps. If you have super-hero fatigue, we totally get it. We still think this is one of the better installments in the MCU and about as good a Fantastic Four movie that isn’t “The Incredibles” as you are going to get! Spoilers a-plenty are in this episode so watch the movie first if you care about such things!

All right friends! This week we are going to be talking about the new Superman film directed by James Gunn. While our resident DC apologist Ronn Bauman is not available, we all give the film a glowing review as one of the best depictions of Superman in the movies. Also, some doggie treats for Krypto as well! This is a spoiler filled episode so beware!

This week’s episode was recorded live at CONvergence 2025 and featured two fantastic Guests. Dave Rand-McKay and Lee Harris joined us to talk about Generative AI in their workplace and in the world at Large. Dave works as a professor of Geography and Lee is an Editor with Tor Books. We all talk about our encounters with AI both positive and negative and it is super interesting!

There’s a new documentary about Paul Reubens on HBO or MAX or HBO MAX or whatever the heck they are calling themselves these days. And speaking of an identity crisis, this two part documentary about Reubens and his most famous character, Pee Wee Herman is a really interesting watch. Reubens himself seems uncomfortable with the idea of a documentary although he clearly also definitely wants to make it. We definitely recommend checking this out!

It’s almost time for CONvergence 2025! As you may well know, our podcast debuted at CONvergence many years ago and we return there like the sparrows returning to wherever they return to every year. This week, we review our schedules for the con (we have a lot of crossover) and if you are coming to the con, we hope you are looking forward to it as much as we are!

Hey check it out! It’s another spoiler filled movie episode with Duck Washington as a guest! This time we are discussing “Thunderbolts,” the most recent entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. We are pretty happy with this film overall and even get into some debate about how “bad” the latest string of Marvel movies have been. Maybe it hasn’t been as rough a stretch as many seem to think.

This week, we are talking about Ryan Coogler’s amazing film “Sinners.” Guest Duck Washington joins us to discuss this film and we are definitely spoiling the shit out of the movie so step away and come back when you’ve seen it because while this movie is great no matter how much you know about it, the less you know the better. We all pretty much gush over the film so if you didn’t like it, you are wrong but also this episode might annoy you.

A lot has been said by certain completely unqualified individuals lately when it comes to autism and we figured since Molly is autistic and both of Tim’s kids are autistic, we knew more than other people with the initials RFK. There’s a lot of dangerous misinformation floating around out there so we are here to remind you all that being autistic isn’t bad. It isn’t a disease to be cured. It’s just a thing that some people are and have to navigate as they make their way through their lives. Which is totally OK.

There has been a lot of talk about Teslas lately but did you know when it comes to electric cars, there are a LOT of other great options out there? Cynn Verbrugge joins us this week to tell us all sorts of information about the market. What does she know about it? Well she only worked on electric vehicle batteries for over a decade! No big deal.
