Episodes
The Incomparable Mothership 825: The Most Movie
Get out your PowerBooks and prepare to punch an alien in patriotic fashion! We celebrate Independence Day with a 30-year-old film, “Independence Day”! It’s a lot of movie. Is Jason ready to forgive it? Jason Snell with Moisés Chiullán, David J. Loehr, Aleen Simms and Tony Sindelar.
NASA Vending Machine 48: "Plow Deep" (Star City S1E7)
Everyone is sad in 1971. Belicova is sad about Sasha. The engineers are sad about the Chief Designer. Lyudmilla is sad about Petrovsky. Sergei is sad about his career prospects, but never about math. The Chief Designer is sad about certain people interrupting him from pulling beets. Irina is sad about a lot of stuff. And then, in the last moments… is that a flash of hope? Maybe, but it’s probably
Lions, Towers & Shields 141: The Neighborhood Is Monument Valley
This summer we celebrate the intersection of classic film and Star Trek. And Lions, Towers & Trek begins with a big one. John Ford’s classic western is an uncomfortable masterpiece. There, that takes in those who admire the film, and those who don’t like what it seems to represent, or how women and natives fare in the hands of this director. Also, how do you feel about John Wayne, eh? We’re also h
Sorkin' In It 5.6: El Accidente (Friday Night Lights S1E6)
Brian’s not a fan of the name of this episode, but that doesn’t mean the episode is bad. Lex and Brian do agree that Landry is the best and Coach Taylor was being a butt. Note: Lex’s audio is a little weird in this ep, which is perhaps the biggest accidente. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.
Magnum, podcast 119: "No More Mr. Nice Guy" (S4E13)
Magnum was the star quarterback in the Army-Navy game, but that won’t help him get to Pasadena(!) in time for this year’s game. It’s all Carol’s fault. But don’t worry, he’ll surely have time to recline at home and watch the game on TV accompanied by an Old Dusseldorf… or is it Duesenberg? Stay out of the infrared beams! Jason Snell, Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr.

The Incomparable Mothership 823: Someone on Both Sides of the Gunfight
We combine our love of “Star Trek” with the appreciation for old movies that can only be provided by our sister podcast Lions, Towers, and Shields, by drafting “Star Trek” actors (TOS and TNG only) and the movie roles we loved before they appeared on Star Trek! And be sure to listen to this summer’s LTS’s Star Trek summer event. Jason Snell with Shelly Brisbin, Micheline Maynard, Cicero Holm

Magnum, podcast 118: "The Aunt Who Came to Dinner" (S7E20)
It’s Tommy Magnum, not a podcast! Magnum’s aunt visits. A new temporary helper at the estate is really into Magnum, but what’s her deal? (Turns out she’s just really into Magnum.) Jason has some information about Hungarian food. Shakespeare makes an appearance. And we all get a little sad about a sad episode of “Magnum, p.i.” Jason Snell, Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr.

Magnum, podcast 117: "Two Birds of a Feather" (S3E20)

Magnum, podcast 115: "Mad Dogs and Englishmen" (S6E14)
The Manoeuvres! A team of paramilitary men in weird hats train to overthrow an unspecified government, but what does this have to do with Magnum? Maybe it’s related to the shocking fact that Higgins has been sacked! Jason disapproves of Magnum’s dad wardrobe. Higgins is on a flag. And we consider going to Magnum Day in Detroit in August.

Jason Snell, Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr.
The Incomparable Mothership 819: All the Babus Frik
We went out to the movies to see “The Mandalorian and Grogu,” the first “Star Wars” film this decade. We had a really good time, thanks in large part to the charisma of many different puppets. (This is “Star Wars,” after all.) We aren’t without our criticisms—Is there ever really any danger? What is Sigourney Weaver doing?—but all in all, this film filled a Star Wars-shaped hole in our hearts. Ja
NASA Vending Machine 43: "A Bear on a Chain" (Star City S1E2)

Dan Moren and Jason Snell.

Disregarding popular demand, Inestimable is back with another installment that pits panelists against numbers and Glenn against himself.

It’s in this don’t-miss episode of Inestimable that we will forgive you for missing. Glenn Fle

Robot or Not? 348: Colloquial Robot

Sorkin' In It 5.4: Who's Your Daddy (Friday Night Lights S1E4)

Not now, Klansmen, I’m killing vampires! “Sinners” got nominated for all the awards, and it’s also a vampire (with a hint of zombie?) movie. We love it when genre movies get attention, and Ryan Coogler keeps putting out bangers, so we’re all in on the story of magical music opening the door to eldrich horror—oh, and also it’s the deep south in the 1930s so there’s some horrendous racism too!
