The Austenheads return. For today’s mission, we return to Austen with the 1995 adaptation of Sense and Sensibility. This movie is packed with stars, beautiful scenery, and romance…and add in a flatulent horse. But we must also delve into inheritance laws and what is wrong with Mansfield Park. Annette Wierstra with Amanda-Rae Prescott, Sandra Wong, Shelly Brisbin and Moisés Chiullán.
It’s the penultimate episode of Season 1 of Sports Night, and we learn that Casey’s “plan” isn’t as much of a plan… or is it? Meanwhile the fellas can’t seem to find their pants, Dana confronts Gordon, and Jeremy can’t stop talking about blood. That all may sound a bit weird, but don’t worry, Lex and Brian have your back. Let’s go Sorkin’ In It. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.
Welcome back to “Inconceivable!”, the show that tests two teams’ knowledge of the nerdy, the useless, and the obscure. In this battle for the ages, our panelists try to figure out which item doesn’t belong, consider some superhero recasting, and suss out some popular movies from bad reviews. It’s Brian Hamilton, Kelly Guimont, and Mikah Sargent versus Glenn Fleishman, Shelly Brisbin, and Jason Snell as host Dan Moren and guest scorekeeper Kat Benesh oversee proceedings. Dan Moren and Kat Benesh ...
To celebrate our 500th episode, we bring you the only TPK recorded entirely in person! It’s an extra-long session recorded around a table, complete with the sounds of dice rolling, soda-pop cans opening, and chairs scraping the floor as people move around. The only way to feel more like you’re there is to watch the 360° version on a VR headset! This episode kicks off another Candlekeep mystery in which N’iss, Naiasa, Valenthe, Merdri, and Quewaris investigate a trembling tower. Tony Sindelar wit...
We didn’t forget about Comic Books so this week we’re doing a Book Club. We cover the run of New Avengers that reintroduces The Sentry to the Marvel comic universe. A celebrated comic run of a hero lost to all history and then remembered and reborn. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.
Seattle, Day One. It’s time for a pretty big conversation about the Seraphites and the WLF, but we also get some incredible recreations of jaw-dropping moments from the video game. Plus, how warped are the records in the record store? Does U-Haul still exist in the apocalypse? How will the rest of the season be structured? Ben Rice McCarthy and Brian Hamilton.
Listener Jason (not host Jason) wants to know if “non-tech items” are really tech items. John Siracusa and Jason Snell.
Grab a penny, pick it up, and all day long you’ll have good luck. This episode hit us like a bad penny, though, and the more we think about it the more we’re bothered. We lament the lack of Doctor and Belinda, but welcome back Ruby Sunday and her family. And just remember: podcasters are the real villains. Jason Snell, Erika Ensign and Chip Sudderth.
A rebellion is afoot!

How could somebody describe S2E3 of The Last of Us as a “filler episode”? Sometimes, a chance to catch our breath and mourn is a good thing. Ben and Brian are surprised by one character’s redemption arc, grateful for some beautiful Western cinematography, and extremely excited about a scene in a tent, for some reason. No, F is not for Fleetwood Mac. Plus, what could Washington need to be liberated from? Ben Rice McCarthy and Brian Hamilton.
In this final episode of The Lore of Lurue, Lovyn wants to leave, Naiasa hides under a corpse, Hermioneigh is like a really great dance troupe, Frittat’ha gets back on the horse, and Lonewalker hesitates to touch the book.

Time for a wedding and…murder?! Your Star Wars pals Dan, Kat, and Tony are back to cover the first chapter of season 2 of Andor, including important questions like: Should wedding hikes come back in fashion? How do you choose between two identical white outfits? And why are we watching a 1950s PSA about spiders? Lucasfilm Dan Moren, Tony Sindelar and Kat Benesh.
Jason, Chip and Erika break down “The Well,” in which Russell T Davies (and his co-writer Sharma Angel-Walfall) decided to play the hits and serve up what “Doctor Who” does best. It’s a base on an alien planet that’s been out of contact for days. (Nuking the site from orbit is the only way to be sure, right?) Jason Snell, Erika Ensign and Chip Sudderth.
The year is 1995. The films: “Hackers” and “The Net,” in which computers are proven to be dangerous for society. One is a ridiculous movie about teen hackers that knows it’s silly, and the other is a ludicrous thriller about adult hackers that doesn’t. Jason Snell with Monty Ashley, Shelly Brisbin, Erika Ensign, Joe Rosensteel, Moisés Chiullán and Tony Sindelar.
We are not ready to part from Pride & Prejudice yet, so we have extended our mission to include the 2005 version. This beautifully shot film provides our agents with a sweeping romantic version of the story that we cannot resist. Annette Wierstra with Katie Mack, Sandra Wong and Moisés Chiullán.
Casey’s still mad that someone tried to blow up the building. Brian and Lex are mad because — no, they didn’t: It was a bomb threat hoax. There’s a difference, Casey. Meanwhile, Jeremy chases down a cricket story. Or a wicket story. We don’t understand it either. And Rebecca returns — only good things can follow, right? RIGHT?! Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.
This episode of The Last of Us is the emotional equivalent of a barrel of gasoline being thrown at the audience and set on fire. We hope you’re doing okay and that this conversation can help you process some of your feelings, because your hosts certainly needed this. Plus, Seth makes a mean steak sandwich and a wire fence is the second worst villain of the episode. Ben Rice McCarthy and Brian Hamilton.

Amazing! It’s the return of 7 or C, that long lost Game Show Thanksgiving tradition, this time not at Thanksgiving, nor is it returning in the seventh month, or in a month that starts with the letter C. Tony Sindelar with James Thomson, Dan Moren, Glenn Fleishman, Monty Ashley and Erika Ensign.
Listener Ben asks: If a Buoy is unanchored and works hard to stay where it is, is it the Roomba of the seas? John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

Daredevil: Born Again wraps up this week with a whole lot more fight, fight, fight than you might expect from a guy who just got shot in the chest.

Time for an animated discussion about old cartoons, two-dimensional characters, American accents, metafictional wall-breaking, and lots more about this week’s episode, “Lux.” Also, Jason places a $5 bet on an extremely wacky theory involving Mrs. Flood. Jason Snell, Erika Ensign and Chip Sudderth.
Huff some ether, dress for an ORTBO, and always keep an eye out for a private place beneath a tarp—we’re here to discuss the second season of “Severance,” a story that goes beyond the first season with some twists and turns that might be Kafkaesque, but are definitely Kafka-ish. Jason Snell with Brian Hamilton, Brian Warren, Dan Moren, Glenn Fleishman and Heather Berberet.
Casey and Dan can’t get over a bomb threat. Jeremy breaks up with Natalie, but it doesn’t take. And Dana gets pushed around by the suits in Isaac’s absence. Casey and Dan may be rattled, but Lex and Brian aren’t worried. We are here for you, dear listener, in your time of need. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.
Everyone has difficulties this week as things come to a head. Guy is on vacation and suffers an almost fatal audio loss while in the show our characters come together for a striking dance number. We’re treated to a big reveal for a mystery that was right in front of us but one we’d assumed wasn’t even a mystery. Matt spirals as his relationships with both Heather and Fisk collide at the Black & White ball. Like Matt taking a brutal beating and getting up to keep fighting we bring you our cha...
The Last of Us is back with Season Two, and so is The Cast of Us! Despite how much we want to talk about the entire second game, Tiff, Ben, and Brian will keep each episode spoiler free for those who haven’t played The Last of Us Part II. How faithful is this first episode to the video game? How are they going to deal with the non-chronological nature of the story? How many White Stripes songs exist in the apocalypse? Tune in to find out! Ben Rice McCarthy and Brian Hamilton with Tiff Arment....
