Superfeed! From The Incomparable

In a new annual tradition, we’ve gotten six short episodes of Star Wars animation following two characters. This time it’s Tales of the Underworld. Your Star Wars pals Dan, Tony, and Kat return to discuss three pretty good episodes and three not-so-good episodes, including what makes bad guys compelling, uncertain timelines, and de-canonized/re-canonized characters. Dan Moren, Tony Sindelar and Kat Benesh.

We conclude (for now?) our coverage of the TV adaptation of The Wheel of Time, which was just canceled by Amazon. Three seasons in, we cover whether we think it is still worth watching despite cancellation (we do) and how well the show’s third (and final?) season fulfills the promise of it coming into its power. Moisés Chiullán with Sarah Hendrica Bickerton, Heather Berberet, Bryan Guffey and Kathy Campbell.

Rumors abound: Is the network bringing in a ratings consultant? Not exactly—Isaac is. Dana’s enforcing her terrible dating rule, Dan is reckoning with it, and the new guy at the show is… intimidating. Especially his mustache. There’s a lot to process. That’s why Brian and Lex are here. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

Somebody loves us all. Rosalynde Vas Dias discusses three poems by Elizabeth Bishop: “Sestina” (1956), “Filling Station” (1956), and “Crusoe in England” (1971). John McCoy with Rosalynde Vas Dias and Marina McCoy.

It’s time for another Summer of Magnum, unless you’re one of our many Australian listeners, in which case you’ll just warm yourself with shots of 1980s Hawaii. In this episode, we spend a surprising amount of time doing nothing other than announcing our return and telling you what episode we’re watching next. Consider this a shakedown cruise. Jason Snell, Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr.

The party creates an effective murder tunnel and makes use of drone technology. Mikah Sargent with Aleen Simms, Annette Wierstra, James Thomson, Jason Snell and Kathy Campbell.

Listener Lorne asks what makes a spacesuit a spacesuit, and it gets complicated in a hurry. John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

In an episode that gets dangerously close to the three of us just shooting the breeze we cover some Superhero News that’s been floating around. Casting news for Vision Quest, Eyes of Wakanda, and Black Panther 3. We glue it all together inexpertly by calling out to every other random entertainment fact we can think of. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Dana has an epiphany, but Casey isn’t a fan (Brian and Lex aren’t either). Meanwhile, Dan had breakfast with Hillary Clinton and tropes ensued. This may sound like an ominous episode title, but Lex and Brian found plenty to laugh about. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

Our Awards Book Club continues its run through the roses with a tougher than expected review of Vajra Chandrasekera’s “Raksefall,” Adrian Tchaikovsky’s “Alien Clay,” and Kelly Link’s “The Book of Love.” Jason Snell with Scott McNulty, Aleen Simms and Erika Ensign.

Sam Wilson is back as Captain America with his trusty sidekick Joaquin Torres a.k.a The Falcon. It’s up to them to go rogue and tie up plotlines littered all over the MCU by movies they had nothing to do with. Amid highened international tensions President Ross is keeping a dark secret you couldn’t have guessed unless you’d seen the poster on the way into the cinema. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Welcome back to “Inconceivable!”, the show that tests two teams’ knowledge of the nerdy, the useless, and the obscure. In our latest episode, our panelists must find the Star Wars rhymes, reach back to their Saturday morning cartoons of youth, and untangle some mashed-up musicals and TV shows. Liz Myles, Cicero Holmes, and Kelly Guimont fight it out against Brian Hamilton, Kathy Campbell, and Tony Sindelar under the watchful eye of host Dan Moren and scorekeeper Lex Friedman. Dan Moren and Lex Friedman with Lizbeth Myles, Cicero Holmes, Kelly Guimont, Brian Hamilton, Kathy Campbell and Tony Sindelar.

The party finishes off a battle, goes through a portal, and meets a dog who’s good at charades. Mikah Sargent with Aleen Simms, Annette Wierstra, James Thomson, Jason Snell and Kathy Campbell.

Rebellions are built on two seasons of a prequel series. Your Star Wars pals Dan, Kat, and Tony return to revisit 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story or, as we call, it Andor: The TV Movie. We discuss Krennic’s very bad week, why Cassian’s arc gets a little tricky, and the inevitable Saw Gerrera supercut. Dan Moren, Tony Sindelar and Kat Benesh.

Live on stage at the Ohio Theatre in Madison, Indiana, it’s the Incomparable Radio Theater Live, with part one of the Adventures of Slim Skinner and the Cowhands of the Range! it’s a change of pace as we go behind the scenes to learn the true story of Slim, his wife Charlie, and the band they made famous, the Cowhands of the Range. Stay tuned, we’ll be performing some more live shows this fall and winter… David J. Loehr.

Let us explain. No, there is too much. Let us sum up the last episode of this run of “Doctor Who.” Jason Snell, Erika Ensign and Chip Sudderth.

Guillermo del Toro’s career started small, with the small-scale vampire (sort of) horror (sort of?) movie “Cronos,” in which an old man finds a mechanical object containing a magical bug that gives him eternal life in the bad way. Meanwhile, young Ron Perlman hates his evil uncle but continues to do his bidding! It’s a fun 1992 throwback that is still recognizeably del Toro. Jason Snell with Steve Lutz, Moisés Chiullán and Tony Sindelar.

In Marvel’s second modern attempt at a Hulk movie our big green guy is back played by a different actor and with a decidedly different aesthetic. Is this HULK a smash hit? Find out as we go back in the archives to cover the unlikely prequel to Captain America: Brave New World. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

We kick off a new short adventure with Mikah Sargent in the DM chair! He challenges the party (Eunomia Helldew, Valeria Shatterbone, Bibimbap Sauerbraten, Sheila Sheila Bobeila Banana Fana Fofeila, and Priscilla) to locate a Unicorn. But it can’t be as simple as that, can it? (No. Of course it can’t.) Mikah Sargent with Aleen Simms, Annette Wierstra, James Thomson, Jason Snell and Kathy Campbell.

Season 2 of The Last of Us has officially come to a close, and Ben and Brian are joined by John Siracusa to talk about Seattle Day 3, the season overall, and (in a very special extended spoiler slot) how we think Season 3 can turn out. We’ll see you in a few years! Ben Rice McCarthy and Brian Hamilton with John Siracusa.
