The Incomparable Superfeed

Deck the halls and pour the egg nog, it’s time for the return of a vaguely Christmas-themed episode of Low Definition, a game where players come up with inane definitions of ridiculous words.

Bang, whimper, or something in between? Did you guess right about, “I know that voice”? (You probably did.)

Alyssa and Chip tackle the good and the meh about “The Battle of Rask—”…hang on, “The Battle of Barsoom—”…wait, that’s not right… - Host Chip Sudderth and Alyssa Franke.

Michael and Janet discover the system is rigged by spending time in Canada with miserable, point-confined Doug Forcett (and kicking Shawn/demon butt).

The Series 11 finale is here! Annette Wierstra joins Jason to discuss the season as a whole and the final episode in particular. How does Graham’s story arc resolve? Does the plot matter?

And what are the intricacies of Ape Law? - Host Jason Snell with John Moltz, Jean MacDonald, Joe Rosensteel and David J. Loehr.
