Your Star Wars pals Dan, Kat, and Tony are back to cover a brand new show: Maul - Shadow Lord (not to be confused with other Mauls, accept no substitutes). We discuss the long strange charisma of this Sith Lord/crime boss/suspect mentor, mixing crime tropes with our sci-fi, and a frankly surprising amount about ska.

Maul – Shadow Lord, Season 1, Episodes 1-2

Dan Moren, Tony Sindelar and Kat Benesh

Someone suggested we honor the films of 1926 — 100 years ago — and so we shall. Beau Geste has been remade often, but here is the original, starring Ronald Colman in his matinee idol period. S recent massive restoration of the film has the film looking great, with lots of footage restored. It’s a silent film, if that affects your interest, but it’s quite compelling.

No voiceovers! More unicorns! Our journey deep into the futuristic world of 2019 Los Angeles continues with another look at “Blade Runner” — this time, it’s “The Final Cut” edition. Deckard’s identity revealed, sort of? Voiceovers removed! Superfans and sort-of-fans compare, contrast, and discuss.

"Blade Runner" (The Final Cut)

Jason Snell with John Siracusa, Antony Johnston, Erika Ensign and Moisés Chiullán

Young Ed! Old Ed! Hi Bob! Bye Ed! There’s so much to ponder in this special episode of “For All Mankind,” including Lee on the lam, Boyd’s Mars dating advice, Dev bonding with Alex over motorcycle maintenance, memories of Shane, and some surprise cameos.

Dan Moren and Jason Snell

Listener Jack seeks a true definition of what it means when we say “humans will live on the Moon (or Mars).” Does a brief visit count? Do you need to grow your own potatoes?

The battle with the Mummy Lord begins! Will the adventurers prevail? Or will the eyes have it?

Candlekeep - The Canopic Being, Part 6

Tony Sindelar with Bryan Guffey, Erika Ensign, Jason Snell, Mikah Sargent and Sarah Hendrica Bickerton

Edited by Erika Ensign.

With the second season of Daredevil underway things start to fall into place. The efforts to remove the Northern Star from the harbour collide with our gang’s efforts to spring the people the Anti-Vigilante Task Force has taken into custody. Meanwhile, Dex is going around Dexing people. Did these episodes have the flurish of a Jack Duquense or the ungainly handling of an armoured car?

Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English

Steven and Erika re-review the other recently returned episode and pine for more.

V (3) - Recovered!

Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky

Erika and Steven revisit an episode we first reviewed in 2016! Why? Because it’s no longer merely a reconstruction! Two episodes of “The Daleks’ Master Plan” were recently recovered, thanks to the good work of Film Is Fabulous. We’ve made good on our promise to return and re-cover recovered episodes, and “The Nightmare Begins” is the first of the two.

The LTS lineup drafts baseball movies for your enjoyment. At least one choice from every panelist must fall within our old-timey timeline, but newer films about bats and balls make it in, too. And don’t worry, bad baseball movies do not strike out here.
