Live Star Trek is back in season! “Star Trek Discovery” has returned with a two-episode premiere, and we’re here to break it down. Once again, we profess our love for Jerks Who Are Right. We discover what form a Vulcan Proposal takes. Our new villains look like they’re space Bonnie and Clyde, but maybe they’re just misunderstood. And we enter Conspiracy Corner in order to ponder secret clues for what might be coming next—but not before a moment’s silence for Fred.

Johnny Guitar (1954): It’s unusual, it’s weird, and it’s unlike any other film made by these stars. And it’s our first LTS western. Because maybe your show runner has a slightly twisted appreciation for the genre. Nicholas Ray, whose directorial chops we last experienced with In A Lonely Place, directs Joan Crawford, Sterling Hayden and Mercedes McCambridge. It’s a story that centers female characters, and gives Joan a chance to stomp around in great western wardrobe. Poor Sterling Hayden is just along for the ride. I picked this because I wanted a Joan Crawford vehicle, and because at least two LTS regulars were excited when I mentioned it.

Relaxation turns into suspicion as the party learns more about a spa whose main product is secrecy.

Candlekeep - The Price of Beauty, Part 3

Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, Annette Wierstra, James Thomson, Mikah Sargent and Monty Ashley

Edited by Warren Frey.

To me my forty-ish year old fans of laser beams, sexed up cartoons, and remarkably timeless social commentary cartoons! In this episode we cover the first three installments of the new X-Men cartoon that was a big hit in the 90s.

Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English

Stacy and Heather revisit a previous squee: The Taylor Swift Eras Tour, and talk about an up and coming new squee, Aliette de Bodard’s The Red Scholar’s Wake.

Tay Tay, Tea Cups, Sapphic Space Pirates, and Godzilla (what?)

Stacy Watnick and Heather Berberet

Check-out our pics of all the things and some VERY SILLY REELS of Stacy’s many, many ribbons.

Beware of extraordinarily beautiful things. (Free the Squee podcast denies all liability for listener overspending on gorgeous ceramics.)

Make sure to check-out The Red Scholar’s Wake and her other awesome titles.

If you’ve ever wanted to talk about production codes and the screen accurate lengths of every Fourth Doctor scarves, this is the place.

Best Godzilla Heather’s ever seen! (OK, so maybe its the only Godzilla she’s ever seen. But still…)

Opened in 1991 as an expression of friendship between San Diego and its sister city, Yokohama. The garden is inspired from centuries-old Japanese design and techniques, creating a living exhibition comprised of plants and florae native to Japan and San Diego.

A fan favorite(?) returns this week and your Star Wars pals Dan, Tony, and Kat are here to discuss endangered wildlife, worried dad action, and what exactly the point of this episode is.

We don’t subject this podcast to a focus group, because we already know we’re doing everything perfectly. This episode of Studio 60 takes us deep backstage for writing and rehearsing an episode of the show within a show. Ricky and Ron are in maximum jerk mode. There’s pressure on Jordan and the show not to lose many viewers from last week. And there’s other Jordan drama that’s totally unnecessary. But you know what IS necessary? This episode of Sorkin’ In It.

Lex Friedman and Brian Warren

Get on your sandworm and head south! It’s time to discuss “Dune Part 2,” a sequel with more sand, more Fremen, and more time spent at the super weird planet of the villainous Harkonnen family. Is Paul the hero, or… something else? Dust off the family atomics and join us, won’t you?

"Dune Part 2"

Jason Snell with Jean MacDonald, Kelly Guimont, Guy English and Brian Warren

Our Agents were so excited about Mr. & Mrs. Smith, that they just jumped right back in with the 2024 series. This is not a chronological episode but entirely based on what the Agents are excited about. This is another intense relationship in an intense fantastical situation and literal booms exploding. We dig deep into love and communication while making wild speculations about what could come next for John and Jane if we get a season 2.

Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2024)

Annette Wierstra with Heather Berberet

Listen to Mr. & Mrs. Smith Part 1.

Every once in awhile, your host takes a flier, choosing a film for us to watch that I’ve seen once or twice, if at all. Also arising from the 2022 draft episode is this English romance from 1945. It’s from the filmmaking team of Powell and Pressburger, and stars Wendy Hiller, so on credentials alone, it’s worth your attention. A young woman travels to the Hebrides to marry an older, wealthy man. But circumstances change her thinking
