Talkin' about two episodes of high-quality space western per week can be exhausting, and if not properly planned could lead to the improper scheduling of two-part episodes. But fear not! We've done it properly here at SBI, and that means that this week we are only covering Toys in the Attic . Kylie provides some fun insight regarding the session's title as always, while Josh finds out that of all the things to bother him, bottle episodes are apparently high on the list. Ricky D wrestles with som...

This week we are joined by none other than the Hero of Canton, the man they call Jayne himself, Adam Baldwin! Through our wonderful Shepherd Suzi, we were connected directly with our favorite non-Baldwin Baldwin who graciously spoke with us about his experiences on set, the connections between the cast and fans, and weighed in on some of our more pressing questions about Jayne like, "is he dumb?" or, "is he a generous lover?"

This week we had planned to cover the Firefly series finale, Objects in Space, but Josh and Kylie had a sudden kitty emergency! Don't worry, the fur babies are safe, happy, and healthy now.
