Matt Murdock and Wilson Fisk are back as Daredevil: Born Again kicks off with two episodes. Some big changes are afoot but we’re in a familiar pattern for what has come before on the Netflix show. This week we were so engrossed in talking about the show we forgot to drop a Star Trek reference. It’s a good show.

Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English

Listeners Joshua and Matthias want to know about flying in (or on) an airplane.

John Siracusa and Jason Snell

Greatest musical of all time, you say? Plenty of people would agree. Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly co-direct Kelly, Donald O’Connor and Debbie Reynolds through a delightful Comden and Gteen score, not to mention dance numbers that have achieved legendary status. For anyone who admires clever, energetic film choreography, it’s a joy to watch. For a fan of classic film, there’s an homage to the transition between silent and talking movie. That happened barely 20 years before this film was made, which is kind of bonkers to think about.

The episode title is a callback. It’s what we do!

Even when we like episodes, Brian can’t stand Sorkin’s titles. This is no exception. Dana’s going snorkeling, until she isn’t. We wonder if anyone truly LOVES snorkeling. Dan enlists Jeremy as the world’s unlikeliest wingman.

A long time ago—roughly 1986—in an Italian city far, far away… Your Star Wars pals Dan, Kat, and Tony return to, at long last, discuss a classic episode of TV including levels of context, Star Trek cameos, and what exactly is going on. We also tease our forthcoming member-exclusive bonus episode!

Dan Moren, Tony Sindelar and Kat Benesh

Is this prison a dungeon? Is the party here to make friends? Did anyone bring a spare corpse? The answer to all of these is “no.”
