The Weekly Heroics team is back from their vacation in National City this week to bring you an election night balm as we recap Agents of SHIELD Season one episode seven and the fourth episode of season one of The Flash. This week we get treated to a Ward and Fitz buddy cop show as the science geek gets to shine as an agent in the field. Over in Central City we get to meet one of Barry's most iconic enemies and the frosty beginnings of his "rogues gallery" as he battles Captain Cold. So if you need a break from election results or just want to forget it happened altogether join us for another heroic week of television!

In this week's ball-joke-making episodes, Magnus... well, this is a 7th episode so technically Magnus should be joining forces with Chris Honeywell. But that proved impossible.

So... other arrangements had to be made.

Guys, we need to talk about Kevin Smith. Yes, he's funny. Yes, he seems like a nice guy. Yes, he's been something of a geek ambassador to Hollywood.

But he has, shall we say, other problems that need to get straightened out. Or at least publicly-acknowledged.

Thus this episode is intended to be a springboard for your own ideas about Kevin Smith's work... and perhaps Kevin Smith as a media figure as well.

Nobody expects you to blindly agree with what's said here; simply giving the matter some thought will probably go a long way.

Due to the deluge of ass-kickery this week, unfortunately there just wasn't time for listener feedback this week. But don't cry about it because there's more coming in the future!

Patience! The vast backlog of feedback will be addressed in due time. Fear not!

Still, it's not a total loss. There's a tiny bit of feed-forward in this episode. More than you'd think considering the respondents had less than 36 hours to see and reply to the Kevin Smith post in the TMPR Facebook group.

In the meantime, though, don't let the lack of feedback this time get you down! You can still offer your feeble effort at tribute! You humble serfs are always welcome to kiss your benevolent leader's ring. Corrupt DiManzocorp interns are ready, willing, able and eager to accept your bribe to present your meager missives to your wise emperor. The email address to use is [email protected] as the other seems to be having technical problems.

In an another sublime act of truly unprecedented charity, your emperor permits you lowly rabble to suggest topics for a future episode. Thus, petitions may be sent to [email protected] for DiManzocorp interns to review, whereupon your leader might consider thinking about the possibility of potentially discussing whatever you have in mind some day. And that's a promise!

Join SCOTT MCGREGOR, CHRIS HONEYWELL and first-time podcaster MATT KELLER as they give you their SPOILERY first thoughts on the new Marvel movie - DR. STRANGE! Is it PSYCHEDELIC ENOUGH for Chris? Should you SHELL OUT THE DOUGH for 3D? How did MATT KELLER end up in Taco Bell with these LOSERS? Also, since the theater projected 55 MILLION TRAILERS, the guys ramble into TANGENT LAND! Did I mention SPOILERS!?LISTEN NOW OR I WILL FIND YOU AND COLLECT YOUR HEAD! JK-LOL!

It's Election Day and that means it's time to talk politics ... sort of! This episode, I'm joined by Rob Kelly (The Film and Water Podcast) to talk about the 1976 film All The President's Men, which stars Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman as Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, the two Washington Post reporters who broke the Watergate investigation in the 1970s. We discuss the film as well as a little bit of its historical context and hold it up as one of the iconic movies of the 1970s.

Show notes and pictures are available at Pop Culture Affidavit, which is also where you can see regular weekly blog entries about the randomness that is pop culture.

In a break from the norm, Andrew watches loads of stuff that maybe isn't good enough to devote an entire episode to but will fill half an hour of time when lumped together. So here for you, Andrew watches the 1978 CAPTAIN AMERICA telefilm, the KNIGHT RIDER 2000 reunion movie and the first episodes of LAND OF THE GIANTS and CLASS respectively.

In Dave's quest to cover everything Back to the Future he decided to start at... the beginning. The first act of the first movie in the trilogy is brought into focus.

Dave discusses how the movie succeeds in a great onscreen magic trick, and establishes the characters that we will be joining on our journey back to 1985.

It's the first step into a larger world as Dave takes on the introduction of the Back to the Future universe.

WARNING: Dave mentions the 1987 film version of Masters of the Universe. Physical injury could result.

Scott is off on assignment, hiking in Tibet looking for the Ancient One. So in his absence, Bill and Paul are joined by Andrew Leyland to look st some adventures of Marvel's Master of the Mystic Arts, Sorcerer Supreme and all around nice guy, Stephen Strange. So, it's time to get the Eye of Agomotto ready and read some mystical masterpieces!

This week our group of podcasting survivors get a respite from the tension of game seven...um...er...I mean Negan and we check in on the Morgan and Carol roadshow as we meet the colorful residents of The Kingdom and their enigmatic ruler Ezekiel. Oh, there's also a giant freaking tiger named Shiva, so we got that going for us. Pigs are herded, Saviors are paid and pomegranates are offered (Boom chicka-wow-wow) in this much more mellow and medieval episode as we get to see one of the new worlds that season seven has in store for us. It's fruit time! So listen, don't listen or don't listen and not don't listen (?), but bring your Dylan sheet music and sing along with us on your Fear the Walking Deadcast.

What happens when a long dormant defense system gets tripped and turns Terok Nor into a death trap? Paul, Andy and Bill talk about it, that's what. Join us as we look at this episode, as well as look into the DS9 bible entry for Lwaxana Troi. Come on along and Join us.
