Episodes

Lions, Towers & Shields 148: Priced to Move for Criminals
Nicholas Ray makes his film debut directing “They Live By Night,” a noir love story. Not your usual, noir dude obsessed by a bad woman, but an actual relationship, conducted under trying circumstances. Kathy O’Donnell and Farley Granger made a couple of films together, but this is the best. Enjoy Howard de Silva as a mean gangster. He has no dance numbers. The film is based on the novel, “hieves L

Vulcan Hello 121: "Level-Five Transporter Accident" (SNW S4E5)
It’s the muppet show!!!!! [kermit flail] Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

The Incomparable Mothership 831: What Is Even Bolivia?
Our Summer of Sundance kicks off with Sundance himself, as we travel back to the end of the old west (and, later, to the garden spot of Bolivia) to visit a couple of robbers, their lady friend, and their not-very-important gang with “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” Did they use enough dynamite? Is Woodcock a little too loyal to his employer? What does it say about the old west when a call for

Football is Life 38: "Richmond's Got Talent" (S4E3)
While our coaching staff appears to be settled in and working well together, the Greyhounds need to find a striker, even if it means going to the streets. Meanwhile, Ted really has to learn to knock. If that doesn’t make sense to you, not to worry. Kathy, Chip, and Brian talk it through, but do watch the episode first. Chip Sudderth and Brian Warren with Kathy Campbell.

Game Show 289: The Odyssey Would Like a Word
Once again, we bring together some lovely, generous Kickstarter backers who helped make Uncanny Magazine Year 12 happen! Will the cards be kind to a first-timer? Will there be lots of sports and too much math? As always, it’s up to the luck of the dice! Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky with Dan Moren, David Matthewman, Fred Paffhausen and Seb Pollard.

Total Party Kill 567: It's Gonna Smell Like Wet Dog
A new adventure begins, and we learn that it’s not always a good idea to bring a dog to a heist. Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Erika Ensign, Kat Griffiths, Kathy Campbell and Monty Ashley.

Biff! 276: X-Men '97 S2 ep 7-9
We wrap out our coverage of X-Men ‘97 Season 2 this week. Thankfully, nothing bad happens to our favourite characters. They mostly spend their time playing super-powered basketball and lounging by the pool. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Robot or Not? 359: Overseas
Is a place overseas if you don’t have to go over a sea to get there? John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

Magnum, podcast 127: Magnum Day in Detroit
Breaking down our day at Comerica Park, surrounded by hundreds or thousands of Magnums — and a few loyal listeners! Jason Snell, Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr.

Lions, Towers & Shields 147: Roddy McDowall: An Actor's Life
Author (and friend of the show) Samuel Garza Bernstein is back with a story about a character who was central to Hollywood’s Golden Age and beyond. His new book, Roddy McDowall: An Actor’s Life - From “How Green Was My Valley” to “Lassie” to “Planet of the Apes” is the story of a child star who became a beloved friend to many in the Hollywood community. We last spoke with Sam in 2024 when his book

Magnum, podcast 126: "Fragments" live from Detroit (S5E6)
We’ve had a spooky vision! It’s your “Magnum, podcast” season finale live from Detroit on Magnum Day weekend! Your hosts introduce segments… in person! We differ on the quality of this episode, which a majority of our hosts really liked! Is it the prototypical Magnum episode, or is the psychic woo-woo too much? Is this a secret backdoor pilot? Is that how journalism works? We get to the bottom of

The Incomparable Mothership 830: Sad Man in a Van
Buy some flowers and get ready to profess your feelings—we’re here to talk about “Spider-Man: Brand New Day,” in which Tom Holland’s Peter gets to be a sad sack who is saving New York while his personal life has fallen completely apart. There are surprising character reveals, unsurprising character twists (well, at least Peter was surprised), interesting guest-star choices, and a lot of themes inv

Vulcan Hello 120: "A Case of Chiaroscuro" (SNW S4E4)
This podcast is presented in vivid black-and-white, as we discuss a Strange New World visit that reminds us a lot of a TOS episode—but without the bright colors designed to sell color television sets in the 1960s. Una ponders space doppelgangers, M’Benga enjoys a selection of hats and coats, and Uhura gets the mind probe. Gratuitous Klingon guest stars! Confusing sci-fi rules! And if you haven’t s

Sorkin' In It 5.8: Crossing the Line (Friday Night Lights S1E8)
It’s time for Crossing The Line. Jason finally asks Lyla point blank: Is your name Lyla or Tyra, I can never remember? No, he asks her if she’s cheating on him with Riggins. (“Yes.”) Plus Matt asks Julie Taylor out. Coach and Tami are thrilled, is a lie I just wrote in this episode description. Sound confusing? Don’t worry. Brian and Lex are here. We’ll all go Sorkin’ In It together. (And to thi

Football is Life 37: "Curiouser and Curiouser!" (S4E2)
We’re back at Nelson Road, where some things have changed and some are exactly the same. Some familiar faces, some new faces, and some faces not there anymore. We start to get a peek into the challenges Ted and the gang will be up against this year, but as Chip, Kathy, and Brian are happy to say, it feels like we’re in good hands. Chip Sudderth and Brian Warren with Kathy Campbell.

Magnum, podcast 125: "Mr. White Death" (S3E9)
Hey, it’s the one with Ernest Borgnine! He’s a wrestler down on his luck, which means we have to turn to Phil to get a read on the wrestling nonsense in this episode. Sit down next to me on the same side of the sushi table, Mag, real natural like. Detroit Death Grip Dept.: We will be in Detroit THIS SUNDAY, August 16, for Magnum P.I. Day at the Detroit Tigers. We are going to try to meet listener

Total Party Kill 566: My Conscience Is Now Clear
In this conclusion to Shard of the Accursed, the party makes a lot of noise, one character gets possessed, and several players read their character sheets. Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Chip Sudderth, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell and Monty Ashley.

Football is Life 36: "Home" (S4E1)
“Ted Lasso” is back, and we’re ready for a healthy dose of optimism and hope. Chip, Kathy, and Brian have assembled as the “Crystal Cats” to discuss the new season and what we’re looking forward to. This season opener comes with a few surprises, some familiar faces, and lots of barbecue sauce. I hope you’re as excited as we are. Oklahoma? Chip Sudderth and Brian Warren with Kathy Campbell.

Biff! 275: Supergirl (2026)
We’re off to outer space this week with the new Supergirl movie. Kara is out on a bender when adventure calls. Krypto, her super-dog, gets poisoned by generic space-baddies and she sets off on a quest to both cure Krypto and her own sense of malaise. Read along to find out what we think of it all. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Robot or Not? 358: (Parenthetical) Song Titles
If you can’t hear part of this episode it’s because that part was in parentheses. Thanks to (Listener) Charlie for sending in this question. John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

The Incomparable Mothership 829: The True Horror is Bureaucracy
Put on your summer best and board a ferry to New England’s hottest tourist destination! It’s time for us to discuss “Widow’s Bay,” a funny horror story about the mayor and other denizens of a cursed island. Of course there’s a creepy clown, and a slasher, and a dark secret that goes back centuries. Of course Stephen Root is wild-eyed! Once you visit Widow’s Bay, you’ll never want to leave… which i

Vulcan Hello 119: "Human Best Friend" (SNW S4E3)
It’s time for the next spin on the genre wheel, as “Strange New worlds” lurches from horror to comedy. Dave Foley is a weird alien with a weird pleasure planet. There’s a thin strand of plot and a Star Trek take on “The Hangover.” Pike gets a lot of tattoos! There’s Klingon karaoke! Someone’s wearing a Mugato suit! Most importantly, Scotty and Ortegas learn to understand each other and Spock bonds

Magnum, podcast 124: "Texas Lightning" (S2E18)
Texas lightning? You gotta get inside when that happens. Oh, wait, it’s just the nickname of some con artist who claims to be a spy? Magnum wears a tuxedo and plays high-stakes poker? This episode forces Phil to introduce a very popular new segment, “That’s not how it works!” The segment recurs. A lot. Jason Snell, Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr.

Sophomore Lit 193: Poe and Doyle: Dupin vs. Holmes
Which detective is better, Edgar Allan Poe’s Auguste Dupin or Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes? I mean it’s obviously Holmes but that won’t stop Jacob Haller discussing two genre defining stories, Poe’s “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” (1841) and Doyle’s “The Adventure of the Speckled Band” (1892). John McCoy with Jacob Haller.

Game Show 288: There Are Four Cats
In the return of the choose-your-edition edition of Random Pursuit, we bring back the same players with their same chosen editions, but this time we make sure they get more questions from their chosen edition. This is helpful…to some players… Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky with Dan Moren, Jason Snell, Kirsten Goruk, Monty Ashley and Shelly Brisbin.

Total Party Kill 565: Insert Shard Here
In this episode, a nice ghost helps out, we learn the origin of the shard, and the party sleeps with the dead. Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Chip Sudderth, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell and Monty Ashley.

Biff! 274: My Adventures with Superman S3 ep 4-6
This week Dan is on assignment and John and Guy are left to fend for themselves. We’re back covering My Adventures with Superman and, hoo boy, does the Man of Steel get his metal tested in this set of episodes. After that we do a little Superhero Sweep and call it a day after not being able to remember anyone’s name. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Vulcan Hello 118: "The Griffin Incident" (SNW S4E2)
Boo! It’s a spooky situation as Kirk, Spock, and La’an encounter a dead starship and face their worst fears. How did we, as non-horror fans, like the episode? That might be the scariest reveal of all. Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

Robot or Not? 357: More Boats
Listener Joseph is unclear about where rafts fit into the whole boat hierarchy. We also toss some kayaks, canoes, and submarines into the water. John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

Lions, Towers & Shields 146: I Think They Did It!
Here is an early film by David Lean about a chance encounter at a train station that leads to complicated feelings for both parties. It’s “Brief Encounter.” Ceilia Johnson (ever heard of ‘er?) gives a nuanced, emotional performance. And the film is very real and down-to-earth, despite the intensity of the relationships depicted. It’s a love story, if you’re interested in genre things, but there’s

The Incomparable Mothership 828: Perfectly Serviceable Boat Movie
It’s one of the best “Star Trek” movies, a classic Dad Movie, and the start of a franchise that never really started. It’s “Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World,” in which oceans have become battlefields and privateer ships lurk like horror-movie monsters. Don’t get attached to any of those nice young sailors! Jason Snell with Steven Schapansky, Philip Michaels and Brian Warren.

Lions, Towers & Shields 145: Hungry Like The Wolf
Cary Grant, Ingrid Bergman, Alfred Hitchcock. OK, I’m pretty much done. What else shall I say? WWII intrigue, a love story, a well-played villain. These are also things I could say. Also, the length of the kiss between Grant and Bergman put the Production Code office all in a tizzy. Shelly Brisbin with Micheline Maynard, David J. Loehr, Annette Wierstra, Randy Dotinga and Philip Mozolak.

Magnum, podcast 123: "The Treasure of Kalaniopu'u" (S6E9)
Why are we here at this waterfall? Who has a gun? FLASHBACK! It’s a very silly episode that we admire for its silliness and lament for its laziness. Also, when are baseball games played? Talk about a flashback… Jason Snell, Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr.

Sorkin' In It 5.7: Homecoming (Friday Night Lights S1E7)
It’s homecoming! Which isn’t surprising, since this episode is called “Homecoming”! Coach invites Jason to the game, assuming Jason can free up time from stressing about whether Lyla and Riggins are up to something. (Spoiler: They are.) Smash sweats a college scout. And Tyra and Billy throw a party. Will this episode be a home run or a double fault? SPORTS! Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

Robot or Not? 356: Card Game
Listener Steven makes a lot of assumptions about what games are card games, but we set him straight. John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

Total Party Kill 564: Flashback: Stairs
In this episode, after Plan A for breaking the curse didn’t work as expected, the party scrambles for a Plan B. Plan B almost gets them killed. Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Chip Sudderth, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell and Monty Ashley.

Biff! 273: X-Men '97 S2E4-6
We ain’t in Kansas anymore, bub! Our attention returns to the next three episode of X-Men ‘97 where we finish up the Rise of Apolocypse arc. spend some time with the Stab Squad, and then visit the Holodeck where things go as you’d expect. Then, in our Super Hero Sweep segment, we discuss the Avengers: Doomsday tailer. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

The Incomparable Mothership 827: Organic Free-Range Cave Cheese
Non-linearly begin and end your journey across a wide range of cursed islands! We discuss Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” a film now in theatres and a story that’s (nearly) 3,000 years old! Pig sculpting! Lotus eating! Horrible horse hiding! Were we the sea people all along? That’s a tale as old as time. Jason Snell with Brian Warren, Glenn Fleishman, Kathy Campbell and Moisés Chiullán.

Vulcan Hello 117: "Valles Marineris" (SNW S4E1)
Scott and Jason are back to answer your most important Star Trek and horse-related questions! And they’re so excited they could punch a dinosaur! We break down the pulp-SF-flavored Season 4 premiere of “Strange New Worlds,” featuring martians and dinos and also a bonus jerk Vulcan! Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

Lions, Towers & Shields 144: Cut-Rate Hitchcock
It’s the final edition of Lions, Towers & Trek, wherein we feature someone from Star Trek: The Original Series in a film they made before the show. Here’s DeForest Kelley’s film debut; a rare lead role for him. DK is a man suspected of a crime, who must rely on his disjointed memories and his cop brother-in-law to learn what happened. Shelly Brisbin with Nathan Alderman, Micheline Maynard and

Magnum, podcast 122: "Limited Engagement" (S4E5)
Time for zany action as Magnum goes undercover as a stock boy at a convenience store! And what does this all have to do with the colorful set of senior citizens who are about to be evicted from their run-down retirement home? Can a charity Bingo game save the day? What about a pickled egg? Jason Snell, Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr.

Game Show 287: A Portion of a Duck
Your favorite (and perhaps only) podcast game show about making connections to various words returns, with a battle between the Pacific Northwest and Big Oil Country(ies)! Nobody stare directly at Glenn’s mind. What are names, but words that are attached to people? These words mean something, somehow, but it will take a lot of time and effort to figure it out. Puzzle written by Lex Friedman. Tha

Total Party Kill 563: This Flashback is Cancelled
In this episode, K’ronng has a cunning plan, J’osh spots the goal before anyone else, Jaee looks like a guard (but taller), Teebee does invisible parkour, and Tink twirls and sprays blood. Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Chip Sudderth, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell and Monty Ashley.

Biff! 272: My Adventures With Superman S3 Ep 1-3
This week we hop-universes and find ourselves back in Metroplis for season three of My Adventures with Superman. Clark and pals are back as a bunch of Superman-esque types start to appear. It’s a bunch of good fun and laughs and, with any luck, there won’t have a Gambit crossover. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

The Incomparable Mothership 826: Layers of Shenanigans
Our awards shortlist book club rolls on with a selection of books we’re much more receptive to: “A Drop of Corruption” by Robert Jackson Bennett, “The Raven Scholar” by Antonia Hodgson, and The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow. Jason Snell with Aleen Simms, Erika Ensign, Scott McNulty, Heather Berberet and Paul Weimer.

Lions, Towers & Shields 143: There is no Leather in Corinth
If you’ve watched Star Trek, you’ve probably had your share of “I know that person” moments, when it comes to guest stars. So let us consider Ricardo Montalbån, long before he was Khan in Star Trek’s “Space Seed” episode, or the same character in the best of all Trek movies, “Star Trek II, The Wrath of Khan”. Ricardo had a career in MGM musicals, though not primarily as a singer. Here is one, abou

Magnum, podcast 121: "Forty Years from Sand Island" (S3E18)
We avoided this episode because we thought it was going to be a sad episode about internment camps. But while the damage done to Japanese-Americans in World War II is definitely discussed, there are also wild car accidents, classic Magnum takes to the camera, optimal Magnum-Higgins bickering, and Macho Taco! Is this a core episode of “Magnum”? Follow the Kool-Aid Man. Jason Snell, Philip Michaels

Sophomore Lit 192: Hamlet
There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in our podcasts. First-time co-host Tim Read discusses William Shakespeare’s most famous tragedy, Hamlet (c. 1600). John McCoy with Tim Read.

Total Party Kill 562: This Mouse Is Spotless
In this new adventure, the Keys need to perform a reverse heist! Along the way they meet an adorable playwright and a couple of improv goblins who keep slapping each other like two nine-year-olds in the back of a station wagon. Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Chip Sudderth, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell and Monty Ashley.

Robot or Not? 355: Hikes and Walks
Listener Tim asks us about when a walk becomes a hike. Is it about topology? Degree of difficulty? Those seeking hard and fast rules may be frustrated by the result. John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

Lions, Towers & Shields 142: Shatner Makes A Good Vulcan
William Shatner made his film debut in this Richard Brooks adaptation of the Dostoevsky novel. Bill is the youngest of the brothers, and he’s fourth-billed, behind Yul Brynner and some other people we’ve seen before on LTS. Shelly Brisbin with David J. Loehr, Nathan Alderman and Micheline Maynard.

The Incomparable Mothership 825: 3D Printing With Xenon
What if “The Martian” but with an alien buddy? We break down “Project Hail Mary,” and marvel at what a good translation of a sort-of-unfilmable book it really is! Why do we love alien puppets so much? Why is Jason checking his watch at the end? We give this movie a thumbs down—by which we mean we liked it! Amaze amaze amaze! Jason Snell with Aleen Simms, Quinn Rose, Brian Warren and Casey Lis

NASA Vending Machine 49: "The Wolves" (Star City S1E8)
It’s the end! Guess who’s coming back to Earth? Guess more times! Sergei’s loyalty to the Chief Designer is put to the test. Lyudmilla tries to get the upper hand on the (new) Chief Designer! Irina and Tania… appear! It’s a farewell to our Soviet comrades for now, but is there more to come? (We don’t know, but we sure hope so.) Dan Moren and Jason Snell.

Magnum, podcast 120: "Compulsion" (S5E14)
What, two Carol episodes in a row? This is one of those episodes where Higgins bugs out under suspicious circumstances. But he can’t run away from his past. Also he is most definitely not Robin Masters, so all you conspiracy theorists need to give it up already. Jason Snell, Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr.

Game Show 286: Technically Canadian
It’s the 50th edition of Random Pursuit! Erika was too lazy to do anything that took extra work, so this is basically a regular episode. But we do have a new player — who even tried to study! Plus, it’s mostly Canadians — and all players who live in Commonwealth nations, so maybe we can call this a slightly belated Canada Day episode? Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky with Annette Wierstra,

Robot or Not? 354: Tennis Robot (Derogatory)
Just in time for Wimbledon, Listener Muhammad provides a “tennis robot” for us to judge. We issue a judgment, but we’re not particularly happy about it. John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

Total Party Kill 561: Floon the Coop
This season finale features a good plan, a janky blankie, a lot of running, and some Gunk in the mix. Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, Dan Moren, Erika Ensign, Steve Lutz and Tiff Arment.

Biff! 271: X-Men '97 S2E1-3
Time travel! We’re going back to ‘97 to rejoin our X-Men, who find themselves separated and trapped in the past and in the future. In ancient Egypt a nacent Apocalypse is just starting to find his strength while in the future his grip on the world is cemented. Meanwhile, in the ’90s, X-Force and X-Factor are being dicks to each other and to everyone else. Can nostalgia carry the day? Read along to

The Incomparable Mothership 824: 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.

Lazy Doctor Who 284: Terror of the Zygons - 4
Steven and Erika finish off the Canada Day marathon with Canada chat, follow-up, food talk, and eventually, discussion of this Doctor Who episode. Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Lazy Doctor Who 283: Terror of the Zygons - 3

Lazy Doctor Who 282: Terror of the Zygons - 2

Free the Squee 24: He Aged Into His Judgment and His Sideburns
Hello fellow nerds! Join Heather, Stacy and The Amazing One for the rollercoasters of Disneyland and California Adventure, a promenade through Bridgerton’s latest season, sprinklings of Stranger Things and Heated Rivalry (watch out for Stacy’s heart!) followed by many, many thoughts about how streaming is changing visual media. We’ve got a shout-out to our upcoming panel at San Diego Comic Con (c

Erika and Steven are back with the usual Canada Day celebration. Happy Canada Day! Hope you like fleshy protrusions! Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Total Party Kill 560: Sewer Gazpacho
This episode features a split-level dungeon, the most aggressive delivery service ever, and a mid-size ruckus. Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, Dan Moren, Erika Ensign, Steve Lutz and Tiff Arment.

Biff! 270: Spider-Noir ep 7 & 8
Our Spider Noir adventure comes to an end as our characters congregate for a high-stakes Book Club at the Black Cat Club. How will the cards fall as Silvermane, Sandman, Tombstone, and Megawatt all line up against The Spider and his pals? Will Ben Riley find it in himself to live up to his great power? Will Robbie get his big scoop? Will Cat land on her feet? Read along to find out how we’ve appli

Robot or Not? 353: Stuffing/Dressing
Listener Wes has a Scotland-based observation about whether baked potatoes are stuffed or dressed. Seems straightforward, innit? John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

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

NASA Vending Machine 47: "Awl in a Sack" (Star City S1E6)
The aftermath of the discovery of the mole and the secret space launch is all over this episode. The Chief Designer and Lyudmilla finally have it out. Tania ponders her future, and Irina ponders it too. And there’s some serious drama at Mission Control and on the Venera probe headed to Venus. Dan Moren and Jason Snell.

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.

Game Show 285: There Used To Be Guano Here
And now, the conclusion! Having left our players (and our listeners) on a cliffhanger last time, a slightly diminished crew try to make their way through, and eventually off, the Cursed Island. Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, Dan Moren, Kathy Campbell, Monty Ashley, Steve Lutz and Tiff Arment.

Total Party Kill 559: Got Gunk?
This episode features a hole stuffed with pants, a potato-shaped puddle, and a greasy brain. What could go wrong? Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, Dan Moren, Erika Ensign, Steve Lutz and Tiff Arment.

Biff! 269: Spider-Noir ep 5 & 6
Drink a lot of water and be in a safe space when you watch these episodes of Spider-Noir. Ol’ Ben Reily is flashing back to his past and he’s trippin’ balls and curling up in bed. On top of all of that an old friend appears to fit us for a suit of deliciously acted fun. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Robot or Not? 352: 'Wolf-Inspired' Robot
Listener Santiago wonders if a ‘wolf-inspired’ vehicle from Kawasaki is a robot, a metal horse, or just a vehicle. John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

The Incomparable Mothership 822: Jacket Into Cyberspace
William Gibson Book Club reconvenes to close out the legendary Sprawl trilogy with “Mona Lisa Overdrive,” a book in which there are lots of vibes from a lot of people who are secondary characters in a story being driven by an AI that we never really meet. Robot art projects! Many overlapping jackets, none of them the same size! And a car ride to… the future?! We break it all down. Jason Snell

NASA Vending Machine 46: "Bite Your Elbow" (Star City S1E5)
This one’s a banger. The KGB has got the mole… or do they? What will happen to the Chief Designer’s risky mission to Venus? Is Lyudmilla out of control or does she have the upper hand? And Brezhnev makes a surprise appearance! Dan Moren and Jason Snell.
