Low Definition: Tech Edition returns, with the gang from Relay FM! (This was originally part of last year’s Relay FM Podcastathon.) Words and phrases just waiting to be defined. It’s up to the contestants (and YOU) to determine which definitions are true! - Jason Snell with Andy Ihnatko, Casey Liss, Kathy Campbell, Simone de Rochefort, Mike Schmitz and Kerry Provenzano.

Eric and Jason review the first two parts of Farscape’s second ever three part storyline, “Liars, Guns and Money”. And during all that, wander off on tangents about Star Wars, the A-Team and past episodes of this here podcast. First up, “Part 1 - A Not So Simple Plan”. Which is pretty much as advertised. Stark (hey, isn’t he dead?) has a not so simple plan to steal enough money to buy D’Argo’s son Jothee from the slavers holding him captive. With such a complicated plan, it goes off without any issues at all. No… who are we kidding? Of course not. The crew must deal with a heavily secured depository, its leader, and our old buddy Scorpius to get what they need. Finally, “Part 2 - With Friends Like These…”. After learning that all their efforts last time weren’t quite good enough, this time it’s Crichton who comes up with his own somewhat simpler plan to free Jothee. But it involves recruiting several people we met in season one who they didn’t leave on the best of terms with. It goes better than you’d expect, but there’s yet another complication that might make their hard work all for naught. And Crichton has to make a hard choice… - Eric Scott and Jason Johnson.

Dead people deserve our help too. - Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, Dan Moren, Erika Ensign, Jane Ritt and Mikah Sargent.

The worst poop joke I’ve ever heard - Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

With the penultimate installment of Obi-Wan Kenobi in the books, your Star Wars pals Dan, Tony, and Kat assess intermittent flashbacks, muddled blocking, expected and unexpected betrayals, and the effective arc of Obi-Wan. Plus, we speculate about where it all ends while listener mail has us confront the strategy of inevitable remakes. - Dan Moren, Tony Sindelar and K Benesh with Tony Sindelar and K Benesh.

The boys are back with some hot takes on some of the streams of cinema popping out of the oven. Of course, there are some appetizers of episodic shows that Sam checked into… and Moze checked out of. Sit back, crack an Old Tuffy, and let’s find out who is the curmudgeon in the multiverse of sadness. - Sam Adams and Philip Mozolak.

From Duckman to Dicktown, this week we’re covering cartoons… for grown-ups. These animated series have an adult sensibility, and they don’t all feature obscenity, graphic violence, or sexual acts… though some do! Shows like The Legend of Vox Machina, Harley Quinn, Hit Monkey, and Invincible have an adult audience clearly or primarily in mind, while others, like Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law or The Tick require a deep well of cultural references that might leave children (and many adults) baffled. We discuss the overall trend, highlight shows past and present we love, and puzzle out how some shows (good and inexplicable) even came to be. - Glenn Fleishman with David J. Loehr, John McCoy, Lisa Schmeiser, Moisés Chiullan and Tony Sindelar.

This episode is all about cultures, from the increasingly top-down management at NASA to whatever you’d call fusion billionaire Dev Ayasa’s management style at independent space startup Helios. Molly and Margo clash, Dani shows grace while Ed does not, and will anyone buy Karen’s lightly-used space hotel? - Dan Moren and Jason Snell.

Put the blame on mame, boys. And also on George McCreedy and Glenn Ford. It’s a love triangle and an erotic noir. But many people just focus on Rita Hayworth’s song and the dress she sang it in. Gilda also features plenty of gay subtext, which we’ll discuss at length, as well as why some films of this era “got away” with gay themes, while others did not. I also believe we’re setting a record for references to past LTS episodes. I’m not mad at that. - Shelly Brisbin with Philip Michaels, Micheline Maynard and Randy Dotinga.
