BONUS EPISODE! It's hard to capture in words the scope of the effect that Stan Lee had on the world of pop culture, or on the emotional development of co-host Chris. So we don't even try. Instead we stroll through the world of comics that Stan helped cultivate, flipping through a tattered old issue we had on hand, from the front cover and the opening splash to the ad for army men on the back. Thank you, Stan, for infusing the mythic with humanity. And vice versa. Excelsior!

1978's SUPERMAN is one of the most beloved superhero movies ever made and Christopher Reeve is THE iconic Superman. How, then, did SUPERMAN II turn into such a cynical, inferior sequel, with the filmmakers snatching defeat from the jaws of certain victory? Hear how Brando suggested to the director that he appear as either a donut or a talking suitcase, and how the original creative team vanished from SUPERMAN II.

Show Biz, Man...it's a bitch, and the drugs only work until they don't. SPOILER ALERT if you haven't seen ASIB, or fed the dog a steak lately. Loosen your belts and dig in, as we have two very different takes on this movie. Who is who and which is which? In this hotly-anticipated ripped-from-the-headlines episode, the boys break down Bradley Cooper's directorial debut, and dive deep into the performances of Gaga, Cooper, Sam Elliot, Andrew Dice Clay, Dave Chappell, Rafi Gavron, Barry Shabaka Henley, and Alec Baldwin's four-word cameo as Himself. Also: listener suggestions! Chris has seen shockingly few movies! Jason pronounces 'Objet d'art' and other words! And we premiere our new books podcast "Frontispiece"...or do we?

BONUS EPISODE! Not the movie THE FRENCH CONNECTION (which is great) but France-related material that came up when we tried to record about A STAR IS BORN with Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga (in the movie, not with us in the studio). This says nothing about the film but was too good to throw away. So sit back, open a Perrier, spread some brie on a poodle, and enjoy!

Balls! Strikes! Jon Lovitz! In this grand slam episode, Chris and Jason find themselves on opposite teams when it comes to A League Of Their Own. Highlights: Chris's sunglasses and stolen bike are diversions as Chris wonders how you score a touchdown in baseball. Jason speculates as to the motives of screenwriters Babaloo Mandel and Lowell Ganz. And we both celebrate Laverne & Shirley, Lenny, Squiggy, Gary Marshall's cameo in 'Lost In America', 80's Madonna ballads, Tom Hanks as a grizzled baseball lifer who can't spit tobacco, Geena Davis, Lori Petty, Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell's great chemistry, Del Close, and whether you'd want your immediate family present at your induction into a Hall Of Fame. ALSO: Matt The Engineer saves us from litigious peril! Again!

WELCOME FRIENDS (because who else would roll the dice on a new podcast?)! In the inaugural episode of FULL CAST & CREW your hosts, Jason and Chris, examine SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER, the sociologically rich 1977 examination of tribalism and masculinity that's been reduced in the popular imagination to kitschy music and a funny suit. We go past its star turn by John Travolta to talk about the music, other actors, the video game that came from it, a show called ANGIE, and much, much more!
