|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10/23/26 | 840: Back Up the Money Truck Again | Put on your shin guards and get out on the pitch, because we’re tackling the return of “Ted Lasso” for a fourth season after it seemingly ended with season 3! What did we think of the new story arcs? Was the villain obvious and did it matter? Is Roy Kent the Fonzie of “Ted Lasso?” Follow the money.... | 1h 24m 54s | ||||||
| 10/16/26 | 839: The Weather is the Bad Guy | In Jason’s absence, Shelly indulges her fondness for disaster movies, a genre that peaked in the 1970s. And what better way to revel in disaster than with a draft? From shipwrecks to nuclear war to runaway planes and trains, we’ve got you covered in cinematic mayhem. There’s even a zeppelin.... | 1h 00m 45s | ||||||
| 10/9/26 | 838: And I'm All Outta Dinosaurs | Inhale deeply of the intoxicating gases and get ready to discuss the “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” season gone by. Our panel of puppets, “Casablanca” characters, badmirals, and high fantasy types have opinions on the genre-shifting penultimate season. Too much Kirk, or just enough? What’s up with La’an’s journey? Beam us up, Scotty, but only if you’re not still experimenting with the transporter…... | 1h 32m 34s | ||||||
| 10/3/26 |  837: Thoughts About a Fictional Bakery | Helene Wecker’s third Golem and Jinni novel, The Gates of Midnight, is now available! Jason asks her about her multi-decade journey to get to the end of the trilogy, how research has changed along the way, the themes of the three books, and what she might do next.... | 57m 53s | ||||||
| 9/25/26 | 836: Tea, Blankets, and Murder | Once a subcategory for mysteries, “cozy” feels like the latest craze in publishing with every genre getting in on the act. Is it really a new thing? Are authors able to take sci-fi or horror and turn it into something to be read while cuddled into a warm blanket with a cup of tea at one’s elbow? Our panel discusses what makes a piece of media cozy, drafts a few books (sometimes with media tie-ins), and then throws it open to anything that gives us that cozy feeling. David includes tea pairings with his choices and Antony tells us how... | 1h 40m 36s | ||||||
| 9/18/26 | 835: Team Whammer | The Summer of Sundance comes to an end with “The Natural,” a story of a legendary baseball player—no, we’re not talking about Joe Don Baker as The Whammer, or are we? It’s Bernard Malamud’s take on baseball as American mythology, filtered through the mind of Barry Levinson. Barbara Hershey shocks and confuses, Glenn Close glows, Wilford Brimley is very old and near retirement despite being younger than us, and Robert Redford is so versatile he can play a teenager and a man in his mid-thirties despite being in his late forties.... | 1h 33m 35s | ||||||
| 9/11/26 |  834: Dial-a-CIA-computer | The Summer of Sundance continues with the paranoid thriller, “Three Days of the Condor.” A devastatingly handsome nerd goes out to buy sandwiches for the office, and the next thing he knows he’s on the run and kidnapping Faye Dunaway…... | 1h 17m 13s | ||||||
