The Incomparable Superfeed

It’s one of the best “Star Trek” movies, a classic Dad Movie, and the start of a franchise that never really started. It’s “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World,” in which oceans have become battlefields and privateer ships lurk like horror-movie monsters. Don’t get attached to any of those nice young sailors!

"Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World"

Host Jason Snell with Steven Schapansky, Philip Michaels, and Brian Warren.

Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, Alfred Hitchcock. OK, I’m pretty much done. What else shall I say? WWII intrigue, a love story, a well-played villain. These are also things I could say. Also, the length of the kiss between Grant and Bergman put the Production Code office all in a tizzy.

Notorious

Host Shelly Brisbin with Micheline Maynard, David J. Loehr, Annette Wierstra, Randy Dotinga, and Philip Mozolak.

Why are we here at this waterfall? Who has a gun? FLASHBACK! It’s a very silly episode that we admire for its silliness and lament for its laziness. Also, when are baseball games played? Talk about a flashback…

Hosts Jason Snell, Philip Michaels, and David J. Loehr.

It’s homecoming! Which isn’t surprising, since this episode is called “Homecoming”! Coach invites Jason to the game, assuming Jason can free up time from stressing about whether Lyla and Riggins are up to something. (Spoiler: They are.) Smash sweats a college scout. And Tyra and Billy throw a party. Will this episode be a home run or a double fault? SPORTS!

Hosts Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

Listener Steven makes a lot of assumptions about what games are card games, but we set him straight.

Hosts John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

In this episode, after Plan A for breaking the curse didn’t work as expected, the party scrambles for a Plan B. Plan B almost gets them killed.

Keys from the Golden Vault - Shard of the Accursed, Part 3

Host Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Chip Sudderth, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, and Monty Ashley.

We ain’t in Kansas anymore, bub! Our attention returns to the next three episode of X-Men ‘97 where we finish up the Rise of Apolocypse arc. spend some time with the Stab Squad, and then visit the Holodeck where things go as you’d expect. Then, in our Super Hero Sweep segment, we discuss the Avengers: Doomsday tailer.

Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Non-linearly begin and end your journey across a wide range of cursed islands! We discuss Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” a film now in theatres and a story that’s (nearly) 3,000 years old! Pig sculpting! Lotus eating! Horrible horse hiding! Were we the sea people all along? That’s a tale as old as time.

”The Odyssey”

Host Jason Snell with Brian Warren, Glenn Fleishman, Kathy Campbell, and Moisés Chiullán.

Scott and Jason are back to answer your most important Star Trek and horse-related questions! And they’re so excited they could punch a dinosaur! We break down the pulp-SF-flavored Season 4 premiere of “Strange New Worlds,” featuring martians and dinos and also a bonus jerk Vulcan!

Hosts Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

It’s the final edition of Lions, Towers & Trek, wherein we feature someone from Star Trek: The Original Series in a film they made before the show. Here’s DeForest Kelley’s film debut; a rare lead role for him. DK is a man suspected of a crime, who must rely on his disjointed memories and his cop brother-in-law to learn what happened.

Fear in the Night

Host Shelly Brisbin with Nathan Alderman, Micheline Maynard, and David J. Loehr.
