Superfeed! From The Incomparable

The party crashers rush to rob rich ritualists with stirring music, washroom destruction, a chicken under each arm, and the power of Valeria’s moon-eyed devotion to a very special lady-orc in the thrilling conclusion of our adventure! Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Steve Lutz and Tiff Arment.

I’ve heard it said by men of wide experience that podcasts used to be better in the old days. Kieran Healy discusses three short stories by Frank O’Connor: “First Confession,” “The Majesty of the Law,” and “Guests of the Nation.” John McCoy with Kieran Healy.

People are strange when you’re a stranger. This episode we chat about James Gunn’s Creature Commandos as a series. With an eye to what it might portend for the DCU, we struggle with what it is while appreciating the craft behind it. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

FTS offers another “first”- this time a live unboxing version of Tell and Tell. It might be bigger on the inside…We tempt and tease each other with our current favorite TV (Bad Sisters and Silo), and take a trip into Tangent Town to discuss our culturage heritage when we’re supposed to be discussing nerd food. Please note: The wildly divergent content of this episode and our inability to stay on topic in no way reflects how our brains work. Stacy Watnick and Heather Berberet.

It’s the end of the world and a robot apocalypse has happened, so what are the robots up to now? One robot butler takes an unusual journey through the darkly absurd world of Adrian Tchaikovsky’s “Service Model.” All bytes will be sorted and preserved, Uncharles. Jason Snell with Joe Rosensteel, Erika Ensign, Aleen Simms, Scott McNulty and Katie Mack.

Dan is desperate for Isaac to step up and encourage the president of the network to fight racism. You’ll never guess whether Isaac steps up. (Spoiler alert: He does.) Also, Donna Moss appears in a storyline that’s good with an execution that’s less good. Our thanks to Brian Warren, Lex Friedman, and the whole Sorkin’ In It team. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

In this episode of Random Pursuit, knowledge of the works of John Lucarotti will come in handy more often than you might think! Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky with Ben Rice McCarthy, Daniel Ryan, Kat Griffiths, Monty Ashley and Shelly Brisbin.

Social norms take as much of a beating as a vicious owlbear, as the party moves from performative combat to gastrointestinal distress (also performative) in a bid to infiltrate offices and…get out their jerky while not sitting in pies. Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Steve Lutz and Tiff Arment.

In the end, the Grain Weevils and robot lawn mowers come for us all. John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

Scott and Jason review the Paramount+ original movie “Star Trek: Section 31” and then, just for fun, rank all the Star Trek movies from worst to best! Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

Are fairy tales real, or are they mental refuges from the horrors of real life? Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pan’s Labyrinth” toggles effortless between bizarre, Miyazaki-like fantasy (inverted toads!) and an all-too-real tale of violence and treachery in fascist Spain. It’s dark, beautiful, full of disgusting bugs, and manages to use Del Toro muse Doug Jones as not one but two separate monsters! Jason Snell with Moisés Chiullán, Steve Lutz, Tony Sindelar and Monty Ashley.

The team preps for both a stirring performance and a profitable heist, but intra-team conflict and a caged beast stand in their way. Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Steve Lutz and Tiff Arment.

We send off the crew of the USS Cerritos and salue the completion of the five-year mission of “Star Trek: Lower Decks.” This show expanded what “Star Trek” could be—in several dimensions. And yet it was also utterly, completely a “Star Trek” series. We try to find the special alchemy that brought it all together. Jason Snell with David J. Loehr, Moisés Chiullán, Scott McNulty and Joe Rosensteel.

Dan’s in the zone and can’t wait to head out to Atlantic City, but fate has other plans. Poker will still be played, though. Jeremy’s emotions may be played with too, as he and Natalie work through some things. Also, Isaac is getting smaller, and Dana lacks any compassion. At least Brian and Lex are here, so we all can try Sorkin’ In It. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you meddling kids! Your Star Wars pals Dan, Kat, and Tony are back to discuss the finale of Skeleton Crew, including collateral damage, surprising non-reveals, and pirates who need day jobs.

Lucasfilm Dan Moren, Tony Sindelar and Kat Benesh.

Feuding Families returns, and it’s about time! Our loveable listeners have provided answers to a survey about Doctor Who. It’s up to our two teams of contestants to decide whether they want to answer the questions correctly, or if they want to answer them according to what the listeners said. Jason Snell with Erika Ensign, Glenn Fleishman, Kelly Guimont, Moisés Chiullán, Steven Schapansky, Mikayla Micomonaco, Chip Sudderth and Sarah Murphy.

A ramshackle group of thieves and ne’er-do-wells infiltrate a fancy party to pull off a daring heist but get more than they bargained for when polite society embraces ritualistic violence. Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Steve Lutz and Tiff Arment.

Who Watches The Watchers? Some huge jerk is who. We’ve got a shattered Earth, a wild west, and a giant sized Fight Fight Fight. Join us as we discuss the final four episodes of What If…? Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Is a Game Boy a game console? What about a Switch? Can a handheld gaming device also be a console? What makes something a console? John Siracusa and Jason Snell.
