Huzzah! Dan is back and we’re back on the X-Men beat. This week we cover an eclectic set of mid-season episodes. A fun Tron-Romp, some trippy malevolent force thing, and a simply stunning and terrific episode on Genosha.

Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English

The Bad Batch comes to an end, and your Star Wars pals Dan, Kat, and Tony are here to see it off in style. We discuss zillo beasts roaming wild, the keys to evil base real estate, and Wrecker’s Fish Shack, as we bid adieu to our clone family…for now?

Dan Moren, Tony Sindelar and K Benesh

Put on your mouse ears and step into the TARDIS! We’re discussing the return (rebirth? regeneration?) of “Doctor Who” in 2024, this time on Disney+ (and the BBC). It’s a new era with an old showrunner. How did the 2023 specials hit us, where should curious viewers start watching, and what are our hopes for the coming season?

"Doctor Who" anticipation

Nevada Day Part 1 defied our expectations… which meant we got our hopes up for Nevada Day Part 2. Will the light mix of casual homophobia, causal racism, and heavy belief beggaring win us over this time around? Or will we find more joy in discussing the correct pronunciation of Nevada? At least Lex has Brian, and Brian has Lex. And you’ve got both of us. Join us: We’re Sorkin’ In It together.

What’s more Star Trek than violating the Prime Directive? This week’s “Discovery” episode feels familiar in a very good way. Jason defends Captain Burnham in imaginary Prime Directive court, but Judge Scott is not hearing it. Also, we spend a surprising amount of time wondering about how replicated food works. We blame Culber’s abuela.

Scott McNulty and Jason Snell

James Thomson, the developer behind PCalc and Dice by PCalc (and other things), joins Scott to discuss "Genesis" (TNG S7E19). Topics include the many similarities between James and Neil Diamond, Blockbuster Video, and dubious science in this episode.

Watch "Geneis" for yourself:

With Dan away for the week John and Guy fumble their way through a brief look at whats on deck in superhero land.

In the final episode of The Price of Beauty, the adventurers take the battle to the hags…when they aren’t repeatedly pulling Townley from the abyss.

Strap in, friends! We’ve got so much to talk about this month, including Cowboy Carter, embracing our fandom selves — past and present, revisiting the 80’s, Heather’s first in the wild fan encounter, and Stacy’s first-time guesting on another podcast. (We’re a poly podcast.) Mostly, we’ve got a lot of squeeing going on.

Cowboy Carter, first times, and embracing the joy of fandom.

Stacy Watnick and Heather Berberet

If you haven’t listened to Cowboy Carter yet, Heather says, “What are you waiting for?”

How cool is this?

This is the trauma stuff Heather keeps going on about. It’s a great website to learn more or find a therapist or coach.

Here’s a link to the episode with Stacy.

A tale of dishwashers and large sinks.
