The Incomparable Superfeed

Classic films, by definition, are comfort food, or at least, they’re escapist entertainment. Our panel picks films they love, and want to watch right now, as we confront a lot of time indoors during the coronavirus pandemic. - Host Shelly Brisbin with Philip Michaels, Jean MacDonald, Erika Ensign and Nathan Alderman.

By the end of this episode we will sell several copies of “The Three E.P.s” by The Beta Band. It’s time to put on that horrible Cosby sweater and rearrange your record collection autobiographically. On the 20th anniversary of its release, we’re here to discuss one of our All-Time Top 5 movies featuring Lisa Bonet coming alive like Frampton, “High Fidelity.” Based on Nick Hornby’s novel, this film stars John Cusack as a bad boyfriend with a glimmer of hope at finding a clue, features a career-making performance from Jack Black as a gatekeeper fan with a surprising singing voice, and still resonates with us after two decades. - Host Jason Snell with Kelly Guimont, Andy Ihnatko and Moisés Chiullan.

We Discuss: The good guys having no idea who the bad guys are; VR being dangerous; Insane bug management, which is getting worse?

Edited by David Schaub - Host Trish Matson with David Schaub.

Your “hosts” Kelly and Don are back! This time they step into analysis with guest Nathan Alderman and discuss the latest episode, The Winter Line. Some light interrogation and a bit of theorizing. - Host Kelly Guimont with Don Melton and Nathan Alderman.

Monty Ashley and Rhias Hall take on the Warriors of the Apocalypse, which is also called Searchers of the Voodoo Mountain, or maybe Time Raiders. It’s some leather-clad dudes in the Philippines wandering around a rock quarry and a jungle, which is full of some unfortunate “savage warrior” stereotypes, and also an amazon temple with a throne that’s equipped with laser cannons. - Host Monty Ashley and Rhias Hall.

Anxiety, depression and mental health, with a bit of superheroic crime-fighting peppered in. It’s not depressing, I swear! All of this and more gets discussed with a light but considered heart by Elaine, Lynn, and Kathy. - Host Kathy Campbell with Elaine Best and Lynn MacDonald.

Join our Special Agents on their first double feature. We examine the first two installments of the Netflix trilogy: To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, the teen rom-com centred on Lara Jean Covey. Inevitably we discuss which romance team we are on and the trials and tribulations of a high school romance. It’s a roller coaster of emotions where we propose multiple spin-offs and toss about wild speculations. But there is one thing we all agree on: we’re all paging Doctor Covey. - Host Annette Wierstra with Quinn Rose, Moisés Chiullan and Sage Young.

The first season of “Star Trek: Picard” is in the books! Did the show stick the landing? Did the plot resolve properly, and how about the thematic and emotional character arcs? How about that six-minute long tearjerker of a scene in that quantum simulation? And what’s Narek up to now? Scott and Jason break it all down. Join us back here next week for a panel discussion wrapping up the season as a whole. - Host Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

We’re in lockdown. Tim’s not even at home right now. We hope to be back sometime. In the interim, here’s our member special from 2017 in which Tim programmed his own streaming service. - Host Tim Goodman and Jason Snell.

With Legends of Tomorrow on a coronavirus-prompted break, we take this week to dive into some explorations of the worst superhero movies that we’ve consumed, how Marvel might finally address the Fantastic Four and Doctor Doom, and what our comfort food watches are. But not without our usual digressions in to Star Trek and Star Wars. Plus, a few letters have reached us in our self-imposed isolation. - Host Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.
