I want to run, I want to hide, I want to tear down the walls that hold me inside. Sometimes the streets have no name, but other times they are named roads, or avenues, or boulevards, or drives. What does it all mean? Does Jason live on a road or a drive? When we go there, we go there with you. It’s all we can do. - John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

Brian and Lex agree that this season finale feels like it was potentially a series finale, maybe written before Sorkin knew he had one more season of The Newsroom to go. Mac and Will walk off the set, Jim worries about a mistake he made, and Maggie remains alive. Oh, and spoiler alert: Obama wins. Add to that love is in the air with MANY of our characters, and you just know you’re gonna love Sorkin’ In It. - Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

In 2023’s “Godzilla Minus One,” the classic monster doesn’t just represent nuclear disaster, but crushing guilt on personal and societal levels. What if someone built a deeply emotional human drama that was also a movie where Godzilla destroys a whole lot of stuff? We’ve got the answer! - Jason Snell with Monty Ashley and Mois√©s Chiull√°n.

With season 4 of “For All Mankind” in the books, we got a chance to spend a little time asking co-creators and showrunners Ben Nedivi and Matt Wolpert about the show in general, season four in particular, where the show might go if it’s renewed for future seasons, and (of course) why there are so many vending machines. - Dan Moren and Jason Snell with Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi.

New year, new Random Pursuit!

Our (mostly) exhausted heroes explore the easily mispronounced town of Vermeillon to untangle the mystery of an abandoned domicile and the strange creatures within. - Tony Sindelar with Dan Moren, Jason Snell, Kathy Campbell, Mikah Sargent and Tiff Arment.

Erika and Steven love Bert, like Fell, appreciate Cliff, are mixed on maps, and clearly need supper. - Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Crack open your psychohistory textbooks and ready a new batch of imperial clones, because it’s time to discuss the Apple TV+ series “Foundation,” extremely loosely based on the classic works of Isaac Asimov. Before the spoiler horn, we talk about why this is a show worth catching up on—and also debate the merits of psychohistory. Then we discuss the first two seasons, which we really enjoyed. - Jason Snell with Dan Moren, Glenn Fleishman, Heather Berberet and John Siracusa.

We say goodbye to season four by detailing the exciting and eventful finale, in which the counter-countermeasures are foiled by counter-counter-countermeasures… or are they? The tension between the crew and the authorities on Mars reaches a breaking point! Frantic typing occurs—but without typos! And Jason gets some strong “Babylon 5” vibes—in the best way. Comrades, there’s been a Martian vending machine right behind you all along! - Dan Moren and Jason Snell.
