Who wants to kill a Rat Queen? It’s a dirty job, but someone’s got to leap into the fray and become the meat in a rat sandwich. Is Max up for the job? - Host Tony Sindelar with Lizbeth Myles, Adina Hurley, Tiffany Arment, James Thomson, Myke Hurley and Jason Snell.

Though Disney’s purchase of Fox clears all final hurdles in terms of rights to the original “Star Wars”, there’s still no way for anyone to watch the historic theatrical cuts of any of the original films. Instead, the new Disney+ streaming service now offers a 4K Special Edition with even more changes to the beloved classic. Is this the definitive version of “Star Wars” for the rest of eternity? Does Disney’s assumption of the franchise provide a new hope? Can Disney honor history and give fans what they want without negating George Lucas’s insistence that his Special Editions are the only editions? What is “Star Wars” and what will it be in the future? In this episode, we solve the whole thing. You’re welcome. - Host Jason Snell with John Siracusa, Dan Moren, Moisés Chiullan and Kelly Guimont.

We made it! Just in time for Season 4! The whole band is together to evaluate the season finale and look back on the last three seasons.

Turns Out returns, as we take a look at toys that caused holiday riots like Tickle Me Elmo, the Cabbage Patch Kids, and Barbara the Beaver. You don’t know Barbara the Beaver?

Loehr with Tiffany Arment, Kelly Guimont and Annette Wierstra.

Podcaster and comic con host Moisés Chiullán joins Jean to talk about Star Trek’s first Native American main character and a great first officer, Chakotay. We also chose to focus on the episode “Initiations,” in which Chakotay is ensnared in a Kazon rite of passage, to pay tribute to Aron Eisenberg, best known for portraying Nog on Deep Space Nine for seven seasons. Eisenberg passed away this fall at the age of 50. As Robert Beltran noted, “We both had a good time. Aron’s a lot of fun to work with. He’s got a wide range and he can do a lot of things.” RIP, Aron. - Host Jean MacDonald with Moisés Chiullan.

Then in our Superhero Sweep segment we try to figure out what the fallout from Crisis on Infinite Earths might be and discuss the newly released Black Widow trailer.
