The Incomparable Superfeed

Casey can’t see. It’s funny, even if it beggars belief. Sam’s leaving the show. That’s sad, even if it was inevitable. And there’s a break up on the show, but don’t worry, it’s not Brian and Lex. By some counts, this is our 100th show, and we’re still together, Sorkin’ In It.

Lex Friedman and Brian Warren

It’s Random Pursuit, but with a twist! Welcome to the pilot episode of Random Pursuit: Choose Your Own Edition!

The Peacemaker gang is back and after having saved the world last season they’re doing about as well as you’d expect. Not great. This week we discuss season two of James Gunn’s Peacemaker. Can his pechant for dancing on a knive’s edge pay off again? Or will we end up with Mirror Universe Gunn?

Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English

The Movie: review/commentary on a single classic film

The Self-Referential LTS

Next time, we’ll watch

Pixar Club re-forms to discuss “Elio,” the studio’s lowest-grossing feature film of all time. Funny thing, though… it’s a pretty good movie? It’s funny, has some space adventure and gross-but-lovable aliens, and even has a nice message about making connections. Look, we didn’t go see it in the theater either, but we sure had a fun time watching it on Disney+.

"Elio"

Jason Snell with Moisés Chiullán, Brian Hamilton and Annette Wierstra

Things take a turn toward the 8-bit in a new saga for our adventurers, who are tasked with travelling inside a book to…do some murdering? Join them as they venture into a town where everyone answers to “NPC”, the aesthetic leans toward “blocky”, and everyone loves mead!

The Agents are back with a Halloween mission full of magic and glorious 80s hair. Join us for Witches of Eastwick with Cher, Susan Sarandon, Michelle Pfeiffer with the devilish Jack Nicholson.

We can confirm that this movie is fun, campy, and perfect for the season of the witch.
