Our Godfather review is coming in two weeks! But in the meantime, we're talking about two movies from 1974 directed by Mel Brooks. First, Blazing Saddles. John has it memorized and Tristan has never seen it before.

We beg you to listen and find out what happens.

Dallas and Lee look at two movies on the different end of the budget spectrum as they review the latest film from the Marvel Cinematic Universe 'Black Widow' and Azazel Jacobs's indie film 'French Exit'.

Derek "No Lists" Young and Darren "Trello" Moser talk about how they pick projects to work on. Keeping so many great ideas organized can be a challenge so listen for their tips and methods.

Derek "YouTube Veteran" Young and Darren "Baby Channel" Moser talk about their experiences with the world's largest video platform. From setting up your hashtags to chasing the algorithm.

The Makers Method Podcast is a weekly conversation about what it is to be a maker.

Join Darren Moser, better known as Dr. Sci-Fi, and Derek Young, of the YouTube channel VanOaks Props, as they open up about their process while tackling project issues, discouragement, and triumph in hopes to encourage others on their maker journey.

Lee Hutchison welcomes Orion Lee from Kelly Reichardt's acclaimed First Cow.

Orion plays King Lu a Chinese immigrant who is on the run in the Pacific North West in the 1820s who forms a relationship with Cookie, a quiet travelling chef and they begin a business selling oily cakes but things threaten to spiral as they are forced into stealing milk from the local Chief Factor's prized cow.

We finish His Dark Materials with our final showdown between good and evil, sense and confusion. Will and Lyra take us on an insane journey through the land of the dead, and Coulter and Asriel have the best arcs we could consider for them. The mulefa are still crazy, and there are a fair number of moments that we think lack the payoff that they truly deserve. We disagree on the ending which Charles finds tragically beautiful and Asia just finds tragic, and as promised, the anti-organized religion sentiments are further explored as the series wraps up.

Next week we will be reading chapters 1-14 of The Hunger Games, book 1 in our new series, The Hunger Games.

Woman in Motion. We know Nichelle Nichols at Lt. Uhura from the original Enterprise. But after the cancellation of The Original Series, Nichelle began another space adventure - changing the history of NASA. The trio looks at the documentary “Woman in Motion” which chronicles her mission in expanding the diversity of NASA astronauts and opening up space to a broader cross-section of Americans. Learn about the shuttle period of NASA and meet the real life explorers of the “final frontier” from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. This movie opens up a new side of Nichols’ legacy that will live on into the 23rd century and beyond.

In Houselights final entry into their journey of James Cameron films, they take a deep and honest dive into the highest grossing film of all time: Avatar.

It has become fashionable lately (just like Titanic) to disregard the film's accomplishments but how do you guys feel? Always loved, never liked, grown to love or hate?

Alex Kingston is Moll Flanders!

Our favorite Whovian actors have a wide filmography - so we look into one of our favorites, River Song herself, in a 1996 mini-series, "The Fortunes and Misfortunes of Moll Flanders." Alex Kingston plays the titular role, based on the Daniel Defoe novel, as she seeks to be a "gentlewoman" in a society that pushes back against women. The four episodes span a wide assortment of romances and adventures (and children!) that leave their mark on Alex's performance. In our look into the TARDIS library, the couple examine the Academy Award-winning short film written and directed by the 12th Doctor, Peter Capaldi, "Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life."
