The Incomparable Superfeed

Our Book Club returns with reviews of the six finalists for the Hugo Award for best science fiction/fantasy novel of the year. You’ll be thrilled by our panelists attempting to remember what happened in books they read months ago! We liked five out of the six, which is a great batting average—but oh, that sixth book. Also, we read some novellas and short stories, too! And Erika’s up for another Hugo! - Host Jason Snell with Erika Ensign, Aleen Simms and Scott McNulty.

With Dan stuck on an island, John and Guy are left to their own devices and immediately go off the rails. They then go on to discuss Agents of Shield Season 6, Episode 11, “From The Ashes.” Find out why Dan gave this episode a John, Jr. During the superhero sweep segment we cover “Thor 4,” which we’re ecstatic about, and a little bit about Pennyworth, the new Batman-sans-Batman show about a butler. - Host Guy English and John Moltz.

Not to be those people, which we always are. - Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

The other half of Dragonforge and Associates slowly unburies itself, meets two strangers, and then has some fairly typical sewer problems. - Host Tony Sindelar with Steve Lutz, Erika Ensign, Georgia Dow, Annette Wierstra and Dan Moren.

What about when they’re ajar? - Host John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

A long time ago we used to be friends, but I haven’t thought of you lately at all—until you got that new series at Hulu, anyway. We’re discussing the UPN/CW classic series “Veronica Mars”, featuring Kristen Bell as a teenage noir detective trying to solve her best friend’s murder with the reluctant help of her disgraced private-investigator dad. If you’ve never seen it, it’s worth a watch! We discuss season one of the show in detail (including revealing who the murderer is at the end), but don’t discuss much at all about the next two seasons and don’t touch at all on the contents of the fourth season that just premiered. - Host Jason Snell with Aleen Simms, Quinn Rose and Nathan Alderman.

The fan-fiction is strong in this one, as Kathy is joined by the fantastic Delayne Buranek and Erica KD. They chat about Wynonna Earp, community, writing versus podcasting and queer culture.

From Chex Trivia about music, to Chex Trivia about TV, to Chex trivia about the ’50s and ’60s, this episode of Random Pursuit has it all! Also a bunch of regular Trivial Pursuit sets, including Doctor Who and Star Wars, but it really did seem like Chex showed up a lot. - Host Erika Ensign with Monty Ashley, Moisés Chiullan, Shannon Sudderth, Jean MacDonald and Kathy Campbell.

I very closely associate Jason Derulo with Jason Derulo. - Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

This week, they’re busting us for possession…see what we did there? We recap the latest episode of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD, discussing the sad death of a favorite, inter-dimensional being hangovers, how soon we forget fear dimensions, and homages to the works of John Carpenter. Then, in our Superhero Sweep segment, we pore over the onslaught of Comic-Con information with a particular focus on the details of the upcoming Phase Four of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe, including what we’re most looking forward to. And we answer a quick reader question on the Letters Page. In honor of Arrow’s final season, don’t forget to get yourself a Lian Yu t-shirt.
