The Incomparable Superfeed

Soda, pop, soda pop, soft drink, tonic, seltzer, and other fizzy drinks form the sweet backbone of our discussion as panelists talk about their childhood drinks, fountains and soda jerks, and a special beverage from Malta. - Host Glenn Fleishman with Annette Wierstra.

In the latest of our two-part Voyager stories, we spend quality time with the Borg Queen and returning podcast guest Tammy Coron. We discuss about Seven’s childhood and why the promise of connection in the collective would be so seductive. And we rank the mother figures in Seven’s life. (Her dad gets a failing grade.) - Host Jean MacDonald with Tammy Coron.

I love you, but I’ve got to go! Let’s meet in six months at the top of the Empire State Building. In 1939, Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne had a date. In 1957, it was Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr. In each movie, something keeps the lovers from meeting up as planned. And though it was a dumb thing (according to me) the movies remain classics of the romance genre. - Host Shelly Brisbin with Annette Wierstra.

We can all agree on Mariah Carey. Free Guy (2021) - Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

Our annual shortlist book club is back! We read two novels that were nominated for Best Novel in the Nebula Awards! SB Divya’s “Machinehood” is a near-future story of gig workers, weak AI servants, and rebellious space stations. Jason Sanford’s “Plague Birds” is a post-apocalyptic story about strong AIs and gene-altered people that’s so far in the future that it feels almost like fantasy. Plus: We recommend other books we’ve enjoyed recently! - Host Jason Snell with Erika Ensign and Scott McNulty.

The human podcast digressions, Scott and Jason, are back with more roundabout conversation that’s vaguely related to “Star Trek: Picard!” (Can you picture it?) We’re discussing an episode that we enjoyed despite it being in the midst of a very questionably paced season. And we announce our forthcoming Incomparable Member Special! - Host Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

Put on your fedora and grab your whip, because it’s the adventures of Dr. Steven Grant in this week’s episode of Moon Knight. We discussed scenes pulled from the comics, a mental institution that’s clearly not designed to help people get healthy, and the friendliest of creatures: the hippo. Then, in our Superhero Sweep segment, we break down the newly released trailer for Thor: Love and Thunder. To get your question discussed on the show, email us at [email protected] or find us on Twitter. - Host Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Swamp Kittens Assemble! Don, Lisa, Kelly, and Nathan have gathered their collective Rubik’s cubes and had a lovely chat with a golden man. While you were driving the cupcake truck, these four have recapped, reacted, and “REALLY!?”-ed their way through the first episode of Moon Knight. This episode may or may not contain a non-zero amount of Wham! and Kelly’s deep abiding love of same. - Host Kelly Guimont, Lisa Schmeiser and Don Melton.

This time we review two really amazing episodes. Granted, in the grand scheme of things, they didn’t really happen but they’re still amazing. First up, “Won’t Get Fooled Again”, where Crichton is back on Earth again. Or is he? This time it’s completely different… and just keeps getting crazier and crazier. And we also prove conclusively that the 2000’s line-up of the Guardians of the Galaxy is a complete rip-off (homage?) of Farscape. We wrap up with “The Locket” where the crew gets all timey-wimey inside a misty space bubble. Aeryn and Crichton are stranded on nearby planet that seems to only appear every 55 years while Moya and the rest of the crew never age. How can they all get reunited and back to their normal ages before it’s too late? And our old buddy Stark is back with some dire news for D’Argo. - Host Eric Scott and Jason Johnson.

In this season finale, these knuckleheads with carved foreheads (and the two without them) leave the Plunging Torrents and try to decide which evil cult to tackle next (season). - Host Scott McNulty with Aleen Simms, Dan Moren, Erika Ensign, Jason Snell, Steve Lutz and Tony Sindelar.
