“Doctor Who” is back, and you know what that means: Russell T Davies has once again built a story designed to re-introduce the show and introduce a new companion. Oh, and also this podcast has returned! We discuss Miss Belinda Chandra in all her forms—all hail the queen. Chip Sudderth and Jason Snell with Annette Wierstra.
This George Stevens (best director Oscar) epic looms large. It’s a classic “roadshow” film of the 1950s, complete with West Texas vistas, Technicolor, big stars like Rock (Hudson), Liz (Taylor) and Jimmy (Dean), but no intermission, even though it’s three hours long! It also looms large in the history of the Texas towns (Marfa and Valentine) where it was filmed. I’ve grown up with stories of people tangentially touched by the production, and there are songs that celebrate, or sometimes give the ...
Spray on some insect repellant and don your hazmat suit, because Del Toro Club has re-formed to discuss a gigantic layer cake of infinite bugs, 1997’s “Mimic.” Parts of it are very Del Toro indeed, while other parts leave us scratching our heads about why something that had a whole lot of potential ended up playing as a pretty good B (not bee!) Movie instead. Are the Weinsteins to blame? (Yes.) Jason Snell with Moisés Chiullán, Steve Lutz and Tony Sindelar.
We are here in praise of Austen’s Pride & Prejudice but also for wet shirts, poorly executed proposals, and good face acting. Join our much overdue mission about BBC’s 1995 Pride & Prejudice. Since this mission was as fun as a ball at Netherfield, it may lead to more infatuated missions about other Austen adaptations. Annette Wierstra with Kirsten Goruk, Erika Ensign and Katie Mack.
The team is covering the sweet 16 and Bobbi Bernstein returns. She’s not the only one, because Rebecca’s “ex,” Steve Sisco, makes a surprise visit. The team is eagerly anticipating Isaac’s return, but they’re going to have to wait a little bit longer. Finally, Casey has some very particular thoughts regarding cake, and your pals Lex and Brian don’t agree. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

It’s a special edition of Doctor Who Feuding Families, recorded live in the courtyard at the LAX Marriott during Gallifrey One 2025! Join us as a group of Doctor Who fans (and, as it turns out, podcasters) brace themselves at the sheer gall of some of the answers given by you, the listeners… Jason Snell with Steven Schapansky, Erika Ensign, Heather Berberet, Sarah Murphy, Chip Sudderth, Riley Silverman, Warren Frey and Tom Dickinson.
In this episode, Lovyn gets his face ate; Naiasa makes poor life choices that are tactically unsound across a range of dimensions; Fritatt’ha bellows into a beak; Hermioneigh struggles to hit; and Lonewalker loses his elk. Oh, and Tony doesn’t know cupcakes. Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Mikah Sargent and Sebastian Runnings.
Just in the nick of time we’re back to cover episode seven of Daredevil: Born Again. After last week’s showdown in the sewers Matt must track down and stop a serial killer before he strikes again. Did this episode stick a three point hero landing or could it have done with a muse to inspire something a little more daring? Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.
Listener Jim wants John to weigh in on the story of the mushroom that was given a robot body, and while that does sound fascinating, the answer seems to be right there in the description. John Siracusa and Jason Snell.
In a world full of creative projects turned into intellectual property, our panelists join together to choose remakes and reboots that please us, those that displease us, and those items that are out there, waiting to be remade. Jason Snell with Brian Hamilton, David J. Loehr, Erika Ensign, Lisa Schmeiser, Moisés Chiullán, Monty Ashley, Philip Michaels, Shannon Sudderth and Chip Sudderth.
Jeremy gets some devastating news that’s eerily similar to news Sam Seaborn will get in a couple years in another universe. Dan is excited to watch a baseball game with Rebecca. Is the whole episode a home run worth watching? Brian and Lex are happy to tell you. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.
Kathy, Rajiv, and Maureen enjoy an episode that has a lot of really good lighthearted moments as well as some intense moments.

It’s Squee time again! Join us for an episode jam packed with joy. We’ll walk you through our adventures at the 35th Gallifrey One Convention, including our interviews with classic Who companions Frazier Hines, Wendy Padbury and Katy Manning! We get into some personal Dune history for Heather (you won’t believe how close Heather got to Muad’Dib!) and a very brief referendum on Tom Bombadil. There’s a splash of psychology too, listeners, so if you’ve ever wondered what to call it when you word-ra...
We’re back with a double header of Daredevil: Born Again. Matt goes looking for a bank loan and finds himself in a tight heist bottle episode that brings in a delightful surprise guest star. After that we’re on the trail of Muse, the serial killer who’s been painting the town red. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.
In this episode, Frittat’ha is still looking for her brother; Lonewalker chats with a tree; Hermioneigh doesn’t need a whole body’s worth of blood; Naiasa knocks on a suspicious door; and Lovyn looks down a suspicious well. Oh, and Tony doesn’t know trees. Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Mikah Sargent and Sebastian Runnings.
Bette Davis brings the melodrama, right here in the imperial phase of her Warner Brothers career. She’s rich, she’s spoiled. Oopsie. She has a health crisis! Will she become a better person? Will she find love? Will she out-act Humphrey Bogart, George Brent (yeah she will) and Geraldine Fitzgerald? Will your host have a take almost none of the reviews she’s read have? Let’s find out together. Shelly Brisbin with Annette Wierstra, Nathan Alderman and Micheline Maynard.
Our Ghibli Club gets together to discuss 2016’s “The Red Turtle,” an unusual Ghibli coproduction, as well as this year’s Oscar winner for Best Animated Feature, “Flow.” Jason Snell with Steve Lutz, John Siracusa and Aleen Simms.
Today’s mission is a slight jump back in time to 2003 to learn How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. Does this movie have a ridiculous premise? Oh yeah. Do our Agents care? Not really. We just want to wear some diamonds and find someone to take care of our love fern. Annette Wierstra with Kirsten Goruk.
Jeremy’s writing to his sister, again. Dana’s fearful about losing Gordon, again. And an underdog is doing great, again — but this time, the Sports Night crew is mad at the athlete instead of supportive. Weird. Luckily, Brian and Lex are there to make sense of it all. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

Mind Meld goes to eleven! Prepare yourselves for an extra chaotic episode of America’s favorite game show, full of ruining of game shows, not melding at all, and far too many animals. Tony Sindelar and Kathy Campbell with Lizbeth Myles, Lex Friedman, Brian Hamilton, Shelly Brisbin and Glenn Fleishman.
In the first episode of a new Candlekeep adventure, Naiasa is down to party; Hermioneigh whips it good; Lovyn does some stylish stabbing; Lonewalker tries to walk alone; and Frittath’a just wants to eat out of a tree stump. Oh, and Tony did not bring enough berzerkers. Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Mikah Sargent and Sebastian Runnings.
Fresh off a truck heist last week we’re back to our favourite basement plot point on this installment of Daredevil: Born Again. This show continues to do good work while tredding a little bit of water this episode. How’d we like it? Read along to find out. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.
We preview our 2025 Member Special, which is about S3E1 of “Vega$”, “Aloha You’re Dead,” starring Robert Urich. It aired a month before the first episode of “Magnum” and features a lot of familiar locations, including Robin’s Nest itself. You can listen to that episode if you become an Incomparable member. In this teaser episode we also read a letter, discuss swearing, Jason brings up some recent news, and it’s basically our usual nonsense. We’ll be back later this year with a full season! Jason...
The first film Fritz Lang made in the US after he fled the Nazis, Fury is the story of a man who is lynched by the residents of a small town. The film is not a groundbreaking 1950s independent production, but an MGM star vehicle from 1936, featuring one of the studio’s then newest stars, Spencer Tracy. It’s not even Fritz Lang’s best film, but you’ll see some groundbreaking technique here. Shelly Brisbin with Nathan Alderman, Randy Dotinga and Micheline Maynard.
Listener Victor brings us a question from another “or Not?” podcast about how many points are required to make something a story, episode, or character arc. John Siracusa and Jason Snell.
