The Incomparable Superfeed

We diverge from our usual coverage this week to talk about the 2018 Marvel’s Spider-Man for PlayStation, as well as its 2020 remaster. What makes a good video game adaptation? Why does this succeed where others have failed? We also touch upon other titles, including Marvel’s Avengers and the recent Guardians of the Galaxy. Then, in our Superhero Sweep segment, we discuss the new trailer for the Ms. Marvel series coming to Disney+ later this year, as well as what it portends for the future of the MCU. - Host Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Eric and Jason watch the first two episodes of an amazing three part Farscape epic — “Look at the Princess”. In “Part 1: A Kiss is but a Kiss”, we enter a world full of political and social intrigue. Crichton can’t catch a break between Aeryn, who can’t commit more to their relationship, a princess to whom Crichton is the only one genetically compatible who needs a husband so her scheming brother doesn’t become ruler, and our old buddy Scorpius who wants to dissect Crichton’s brain. While those relationships are complicated, D’Argo and Chiana’s budding new relationship is getting more intense. In “Part 2: I Do, I Think”, Crichton has no choice but to marry the princess to escape Scorpius. But there’s a downside to married royal life… he and the princess must spend the next 80 cycles as statues. What will the crew do to prevent that? What will all the scheming political envoys do to either prevent the marriage or make it succeed? Oh, and Zhaan and Pilot meet Moya’s creator. And it’s not happy that she gave birth to a gunship and proceeds to shut her down, for good. - Host Eric Scott and Jason Johnson.

Introducing Inestimable, a game show which features panelists making wild numeric, comparative, and order of magnitude guesses about animals, bodies of water, foods, popular music, and much more. Knowledge isn’t required; in fact, it may be the enemy of success! Panelists play against a live audience of Incomparable members whose answers are averaged to show the wisdom of crowds. It’s the show that rewards guessing and also penalizes guessing. Listeners may find pen/pencil and paper handy to play along. - Host Glenn Fleishman and Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Antony Johnston, Jason Snell, Shelly Brisbin and Steve Lutz.

Out of the octopus’s garden and into the ghast room. - Host Scott McNulty with Aleen Simms, Dan Moren, Erika Ensign, Jason Snell, Steve Lutz and Tony Sindelar.

This choice stems from the enthusiasm of some regular LTS panelists. Jeanne Crain, Linda Darnell and Ann Sothern are your stars, along with the unrelated Douglases, Kirk and Paul. A letter written to three women by their “bad friend” pretty much freaks everyone out, and it’s most definitely a female-centered story, well-directed by Joe Mankiewicz. Go figure. - Host Shelly Brisbin with Annette Wierstra, Nathan Alderman and Lisa Schmeiser.

Hokey crokey, Batman! We start by talking about nonsense words—words that are filler and mean nothing in the language or dialect in which they’re used—but then transition to more meaningful matters, like the way in which aboriginal and native languages in various countries have made inroads into English. The movie Brave is mentioned and, of course, Johnny Vegas of St Helens. - Host Glenn Fleishman with Annette Wierstra, Chris Phin, Dan Moren, James Thomson and Sarah Hendrica Bickerton.

Steven and Erika get back to this colourful story! - Host Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Get out your pocket knife and stick to the Wheel—we’re a traveling band of podcasters who move from town to town to re-enact conversations from before the apocalypse! Or at least that’s who we’d be in our version of the HBO Max miniseries, “Station Eleven.” We discuss the moving, optimistic post-apocalyptic tale that is told in a fractured time sequence and features lots of Shakespeare and a suspiciously powerful self-published graphic novel. And though there’s definitely no “Station Twelve” on the horizon, we can’t help but imagine what other stories are there just waiting to never be told. - Host Jason Snell with Aleen Simms, Annette Wierstra, Jean MacDonald and John Siracusa.

So much Star Trek! This week Jason and Scott discuss the “Strange New Worlds” trailer, then turn their attention to the penultimate episode of “Discovery” (at 8:24) and the second episode of “Picard” (at 26:16). We are excited about “Discovery” reaching its seasonal climax and super-super excited about… pretty much everything in “Picard.” Join us! - Host Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.
