The Incomparable Superfeed

We’re going BACK…to the present this week, as Arrow smushes together some disparate plotlines and this season finally starts to get in gear. We discuss standout scenes, conspiracy theories about the Monitor, and how you get cell phone reception in the past. Plus, have none of these people ever seen a time travel movie? Then, in our Superhero Sweep segment, it’s hurray for some sequels and speculation about the future of the MCU. Finally, in our Letters Page, we field an offspring-related query. What does one wear to blend in when thrown 20 years into the past? A t-shirt, naturally. 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.

Our adventurers visit a mansion to receive an assignment, participate in a team-building exercise, and climb down a rope into a subterranean gulf of darkness. - Host Tony Sindelar with Myke Hurley, Adina Hurley, James Thomson, Liz Myles, Tiffany Arment and Jason Snell.

We discuss: Malefic’s complicated hunt; J’onn’s blame game; Nia & Kara’s investigations; William’s toxic jerk status; baddie-of-the-week’s 45 second plot; Kelly & James’ super corrupt hometown; Nia & Brainy’s further communication; James’ future; and some amusing props and set-dressing. Edited by David Schaub. - Host Trish Matson with David Schaub.

Usually, we’re explaining English to each other. This time, US panelists are desperate to understand the largely UK art of panto, a kind of stylized broad style of show, popular around Christmas, full of stereotypes and archetypes, risqué and beloved by children and adults. - Host Glenn Fleishman with Kathy Campbell, Alice Fraser, Chris Phin and James Thomson.

He does all of his own drownings. Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation - Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

And do sliders have to slide? - Host John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

We begin a new TPK season with an almost entirely new collection of players! In the small town of Oakhurst, many adventurers are gathering. Is there trouble on the horizon? Probably! Does the town’s local newspaper have a surprisingly broad circulation? Seemingly! Does that demon lady really think her weasel is a fox? Possibly! Step inside the tavern and get ready for some Dragonborn rock and roll. - Host Tony Sindelar with Jason Snell, James Thomson, Liz Myles, Myke Hurley, Adina Hurley and Tiffany Arment.

As the war between Earth and Mars intensifies, we ask what kind of leader is Secretary General Gillis, and do we need air quotes around “leader”? Who would win in a fight, Amos or Bobbie? Does ANYONE win when Chrisjen and Naomi face off? (The viewer!) - Host Jen Burt, Kayti Burt and Warren Frey.

Watch movie. Do podcast. Repeat. We’re pretty sure this is our first time discussing “Edge of Tomorrow,” but can you ever really be sure? Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt star in this film about fighting an alien invasion through countless iterations of a single event. But unlike “Groundhog Day”, the origin of the time loops is key to the plot. If you haven’t seen this one yet, you’re missing out on one of the decade’s most under-appreciated sci-fi films. Watch movie. Do podcast. Repeat. - Host Jason Snell with Erika Ensign and John Siracusa.

We discuss: Nia dealing with Brainy being too-much; Lena doing evil to stop evil, but needing Lex’s help; Kara & Kelly both failing to say NO to their needy friends; Malefic getting more powerful and being pissed off about the wrong things; J’onn finding out even more bad things in dream memory; William & Andrea are doing something, but who knows what; and there’s a baddie of the week, but she doesn’t matter much. - Host Trish Matson with David Schaub.
