The Incomparable Superfeed

The boss battle concludes! The frog is dead! The tree lies in ruins! But not everyone will make it out alive! Who will survive? Those who remain will get an exciting trip to… Level 3! - Host Tony Sindelar with Myke Hurley, Adina Hurley, Lizbeth Myles, James Thomson, Tiffany Arment and Jason Snell.

It’s within walking distance. How far is that? - Host John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

When this season’s available as a binge watch you’ll forget this gap ever even happened. We’re here to discuss the first half of the “Doctor Who” season finale, which is a little like reviewing the first half of a book or movie. What will happen next week? We have endless theories and no hard evidence! Are these red herrings we see before us? Why is the Lone Cyberman so effective as a villain? Ko Sharmus isn’t a planet, he’s a person! Bring on Barack Stemis. - Host Jason Snell with James Thomson.

Make more mutants! Comic Book Club re-forms to discuss “House of X”/”Powers of X”, a paired set of comics miniseries that are an exciting new take on the X-Men. If you’re an old-school mutant fan who has been out of the business for years (like Jason), these 12 issues are a great read. They’re all available in a single collection, and the issues are also now rolling out weekly on Marvel Unlimited, so there are plenty of ways to partake. We discuss the politics of mutant separatism, the wisdom of backing up souls to a hard drive, the difference between Xavier and MLK, the many lives of Moira MacTaggart and how they free us from the burden of continuity, and much more. Finally, Moisés advises us on what to read among the follow-up series that were released in the wake of this book. - Host Jason Snell with Lisa Schmeiser, Moisés Chiullan and Sarah Gardner.

Season 4 is kicking off with the fever dream that is Cats, both the stage and film versions. Highlights: Personally victimized by Cats (2019), fully filmed Broadway performances, breaking the fourth wall, dance musicals, poetry, T.S. Eliot, JaSOn DEruloooo, offensive horniness. - Host Quinn Rose with Brian Hamilton.

This is it! The beginning of the end! Our party enters battle with the evil druid, his monstrous tree, his two plant-zombie thralls, his twig blight army, and most importantly, his giant purple frog! - Host Tony Sindelar with Lizbeth Myles, Jason Snell, Adina Hurley, Tiffany Arment, James Thomson and Myke Hurley.

Och, please dinnae make fun of non-Scottish people Darren Husted and John as they discuss and try to read aloud excerpts of Robert Burns’s “Tam O’ Shanter” (1791) and “To a Mouse” (1785). - Host John McCoy with Darren Husted.

Now the curtain is going up, the entertainer is taking a bow! It’s time for some space ragtime on the popup-ad-infested planet of Freecloud. In the aftermath of this truly remarkable episode of “Star Trek: Picard,” Scott and Jason are here to discuss shocking plot twists, equally shocking moments of gruesome violence, how Rios stuck a feather in his cap (but probably didn’t call it ‘macaroni’), cartoonish French accents, and various bones. - Host Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

It’s another special Beginner’s Puck/Hockey Feels crossover Carcast — this time with a special guest who is relatively new to hockey fandom, Chip Sudderth! When you attend a Doctor Who convention in Los Angeles, what better way to start the weekend than by braving rush-hour traffic and trekking to Anaheim to check out the Flames vs the Ducks at the Honda Center? (Turns out there may be lots of better ways…) - Host Erika Ensign and Deborah Stanish with Steven Schapansky, Rachel Donner and Chip Sudderth.

Vive la France! This week, it’s back to the French Revolution for our time-traveling crew, as we recap the latest episode of Legends of Tomorrow. We discuss adult relationships, a turn into darkness, and the importance of a DJ with a s’more for a head. Then, in our Superhero Sweep segment, we discuss the latest season of The Flash and how it’s foregrounded Iris West-Allen. Finally, on our Letters Page, how we watch superhero shows. Lian Yu will live forever in our hearts, so why not get a commemorative t-shirt?
