We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 14 “Stigma,” but only Maria has actually watched the episode. T’Pol has to deal with some of the repercussions from the episode “Fusion,” Phlox has to explain HIPPA laws to Archer, and Trip has an exciting B-plot involving one of Phlox’s wives. Also, all the Vulcans lie all the time. As per usual in this show.

The Cosmic Pizza Podcast brings you Episode 100: PIZZA!!.

This week we hit the century and to celebrate this achievement we talk about the very thing we have not yet spoken about. PIZZAS!!

Yes, today we delve into the world of the flat pie from Italy, or did it originate somewhere else. The different styles and favourite flavours. Where was the best one we have every eaten, our favourite restaurants and most unusual toppings.

We also have a new segment call Fun Facts where each host reveals a fact that they have found out in the last month that they previously did not know.

All this and with a new logo too, this episode will be recorded live and uncut and available on our New YouTube Channel… If we can set one up in time!

Completing the trifecta of the “Escape From Vault Disney” Yule Loggers, we have preeminent lesbian mad scientist Agatha Vile, the great granddaughter of Dr. Vile, the villain from “The Little Mermaid” Animated Series Season 3 Episode 3 “Island Of Fear”. While ‘lesbian’ is not part of her job title, it does tie into the fact that the animation related topic she wished to discuss on today’s episode is gay-coding in animated films of the past. This leads into a conversation about LGBTQIA+ representation in animated TV series, starting with a scant few in the 90’s and 2000s, leading up to the 2010s & beyond where lots of shows ramped up the fight for inclusion, like Steven Universe, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, The Owl House, Arcane, Nimona, Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur, Helluva Boss, Hazbin Hotel, and a ton of other shows that have the animation fans generating a quadrillion pieces of shipping fan art a day.

Featured Comedy Songs:
“I’m A Spy” – Lauren Ash as Scorpia from “She-ra and the Princesses Of Power”
“D.P.I. #8” – the great Luke Ski
“Tick On Me” – Meowmeme
“The Spongy Dance” – the great Luke Ski

See the notes from Episode #7 for the links to the “Escape From Vault Disney” Yule Log episodes featuring Agatha Vile, Garrett Henry Smith, Luke Ski, and Tony Goldmark

Flopcast episode 699! Our Dragon Con review finally concludes, just in time for us to get ready for next year’s Dragon Con. We’re looking at the last two days of the convention, including: Muppet talk with Muppet performers/designers Bill Barretta, Kevin Clash, Bonnie Erickson, and Dave Goelz! Actual trick-or-treating in the American Sci-Fi Classics Track room at Halloween Con! The science of Severance (it seems like a good idea)! Our British New Wave panel (with nary a Duran in sight, alas)! Our Hollywood Hits the Arcade panel (during which Joy Sticks was finally recognized as a cinematic masterpiece)! The Agatha All Along panel! Another wonderful Sci-Fi Explosion presentation, featuring Sico the Robot and drunk Ewoks! Another Roll-a-Panel, featuring the spectacular failure of our Ghost singalong! The Peacemaker panel! And our annual Dragon Con costume review, with Jaws costumes, Devo costumes, Caddyshack costumes, a Labyrinth Firey, a Bugaloo (!!!), and a whole lot of chickens. It was magnificent. See you next year, weird people!

Planning Ahead for Dragon Con 2026

But we’re not just looking back—we’re already planning ahead! We talk about prepping for Dragon Con 2026, what to expect when hotel booking season opens, and strategies to make sure you’re ready when reservations go live. Plus, we cover how attendees can rate their con experience through the official app and why your feedback matters for shaping future cons.

Avatar: The Last Airbender was a popular animated show on Nickolodeon in the mid-00’s. The series depicted a fantasy world based on a blend of European, Asian, and Native American influences inhabited by “benders” who could manipulate a single one of the four elements of earth, fire, water, and air. In every generation an Avatar is born who can bend all bend all four elements. In this episode we do a deep dive into this series. We talk about the characters and why we enjoy or don’t each of them. We discuss the world and the story and what things we really enjoyed and anything that we didn’t. Along the way we also get into discussions of cultural sensitivity, the live action film, and whether we think that a live-action adaptation can ever faithfully capture this series.

Due to time constraints there is no five-minute controversy this week.

This week Juliette; Mike; and newcomer, Rachel, join the cast.

Batman investigates a chilling new villain called the Wound Man—an impassive killer who selects victims alphabetically and inflicts maximum pain—while navigating Gotham’s grim realities and unraveling a mystery that emphasizes detective work over high-stakes spectacle in Batman: Dark Patterns #1, 2, &3. Batman investigates a hostage crisis in Bledin Towers that spirals into architectural horror and social unrest, culminating in violent riots and a desperate alliance with the Ventriloquist as Scarface manipulates chaos from the shadows in Batman: Dark Patterns #4, 5, & 6.
