The Incomparable Superfeed

Select all the STOREFRONTS to prove that you’re a human. - Host John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

Fresh from the theater, we tackle “Spider-Man: Far From Home.” We consider the lighter side of the death and resurrection of billions of people, the unique position this Spider-Man has in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the value of various surrogate dads. We’re also surprised at how interesting Mysterio turned out to be despite the fact that he’s Mysterio. - Host Jason Snell with Cicero Holmes, Moisés Chiullan and Chip Sudderth.

The sequel to “Children of Time” does the original one better by adding new planets, new species, and maybe even aliens? - Host Jason Snell.

This episode covers all facets of the underworld of Undermountain—scoundrels, kneebreakers, and grifters. Our adventurers try to rescue an urchin! And what would a Dragonforge adventure be without some Ding Dongs? - Host Tony Sindelar with Sarah Barbour, Monty Ashley, Jason Snell, Erika Ensign, Georgia Dow and Steve Lutz.

We’re an out-of-control truck barreling down the road, headed for an alien structure. Metaphorically and literally! But along the way, we discuss this week’s episode of Marvel’s Agents of SHIELD episode, including why it’s not always wise to dish about monoliths, the value of having a good budget, and being jealous of yourself. Then, in this week’s Superhero Sweep, we wildly speculate about what Phase IV of the MCU might be and take a look back at Avengers: Endgame a few months after release. We’re still offering fabulous shirts, should your old ones be getting a little threadbare.

Once again, Neal Stephenson has buried 250 great pages in a 900-page book. - Host Jason Snell.

Panelists try to avoid getting their knickers in a twist while discussing the disparate—sometimes obscene—meanings of words that address the back of our front: fanny, butt, bum, ass, and arse. - Host Glenn Fleishman with Antony Johnston, Dan Moren, Erika Ensign and James Thomson.

John Siracusa returns to discuss Edwin Abbott’s Flatland (1884). Will it give us a new perspective or will it leave us flat? (Spoiler, John hated it.) - Host John McCoy with John Siracusa.

This isn’t your daddy’s Pixar movie. - Host Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

Hop the plane to Japan, because we’re drifting right into the third installment of The Fast and the Furious franchise, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. Hot topics include the inexcusable objectification of women right off the bat, unfortunate accents, why everybody inexplicably wants to give the main character things, and, of course…the drift. Programming Note: In addition to this capsule episode, which contains our discussion before and after the film, members can watch along with Lex and Dan in a full-length commentary track, available in the members-only First Class feed. If you’re not already a member, why not sign up? And if you are, now’s a great time to update your membership allocations and maybe throw a little support in the direction of Not Playing. Thanks! - Host Lex Friedman and Dan Moren.
