Jason’s favorite movie of 2023 was the gray flipside to “Barbie,” Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.” And while none of us would exactly call ourselves Nolan fans, this one manages to grapple with a deep subject with great care. It’s got some spectacular scenes that will blow your mind—and a whole lot more scene of men in suits and hats standing around talking. - Jason Snell with Shelly Brisbin, Kathy Campbell and Cicero Holmes.

We are back with a classic Romance in Action from 1986: The Big Easy. We have Dennis Quaid practicing the art of seduction with Ellen Barkin amid a murder investigation. With a seedy 80s vibe, they follow a trail of clues that lead them deeper into a corrupt mess in New Orleans. The investigation keeps pulling them apart making us wonder: Will they or won’t they? - Annette Wierstra with Deborah Stanish and Shelly Brisbin.

Subpoenas. Rushed (but beautiful) weddings. Courtrooms. Handcuffs. It’s an overstuffed Newsroom, and boy does Jim disappoint us. Almost as much as he disappoints Hallie. Meanwhile, Mackenzie and The Source get soaked, and ACN gets acquired. Brian and Lex get… kind of frustrated. - Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

This episode is bigger on the inside as Heather and Stacy talk the return of David Tennant and Catherine Tate in the 2023 Doctor Who Specials, Ncuti Gatwa as the Flirty Doctor (you heard it here first, people!), anticipating Free The Squee’s first appearance at the Gallifrey One Convention, and Heather’s Ode to Verity Podcast. But first, it’s time to get a little serious about cultural gaffs, friendship and making amends. Let’s get going- we’ve got a lot of ground to cover and we left our TARDIS at home. - Stacy Watnick and Heather Berberet.

It’s another episode of Random Pursuit! In this episode: a brand new contestant, an epic run, and which version of Trivial Pursuit will be Erika’s least favorite this time? - Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky with Helen Zaltzman, Glenn Fleishman, Katrina Griffiths, Deborah Stanish and Dan Moren.

Before the superhero ball got rolling the mutants were there to give it a push. This week we visit the X-Men in the original movie from the year 2000. It’s not perfect. There are plenty of flaws. But, wow, what a movie. It may not be so much of a template as Iron Man (or The Incredible Hulk) but it is inarguably in the vanguard of what would become the dominant blockbuster movie events since it was released. - Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

This episode provides a missing archaeologist, a bitter academic dispute, and a goat, inspiring Phil to create a new segment: Is This Anything? - Jason Snell, Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr.

TPK returns to the greater Varkenbluff area with another heisty challenge, in which Jaee, Levithia, Revelle, and K’ronng learn it’s better to rule in Hell than serve drinks at a casino. - Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Erika Ensign, Jason Snell and Monty Ashley.
