The Incomparable Mothership 755: Is This... Dystopian?
From deep down in the lower levels to high up near the surface, we’re traveling through the post-apocalypic society of “Silo” on Apple TV+. Do eggs exist? What’s in daddy’s secret closet of mystery? Why are Pez dispensers outlawed? We begin with non-spoiler thoughts and then after the spoiler horn, we break down season one and two. (There are no spoilers for the Hugh Howey stories the show is based on!) Jason Snell with Heather Berberet, Glenn Fleishman, John Siracusa and Aleen Simms....

Lions, Towers & Shields 113: Untapped Reservoir of Cool
Let the show’s 5th year begin! LTS regular Micki Maynard turned me onto this one. Paul Newman and Sidney Pottier star as jazz musicians in Paris. Their love interests are Joanne Woodward and Dihann Caroll, repectively. Louis Armstrong plays a character called Wild Man Moore. If my synopsis seems superficial, that’s because I haven’t actually seen this one. But I love the cast, and I love the idea that Sidney and Diahann are doing something more interesting than playing that one Black person in t...

Casey and Dana become the absolute worst dates ever, and Dan is forced to cohost the show with a woman who hates him.

The Incomparable Mothership 754: The Prequel Problem
Live, from The Incomparable, it’s Jason Reitman’s “Saturday Night,” a film that purports to capture the 88 minutes before “Saturday Night Live’s” first live broadcast 50 years ago. All of our panelists agree it’s a well-made movie. There are many actors and comedians playing actors and comedians. But does it all hold together? Lex Friedman with Monty Ashley, David J. Loehr and Kelly Guimont.

Biff! 225: Spider-Man (2025) ep 1 & 2
Amazing Stories! This week we watch the first couple of episodes of Marvel’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.
