Don’t call it a lost episode–call it a bonus track on an Original Motion Picture Soundtrack that didn’t make it into the movie!

The gang cuts loose for an unedited half-hour On the Range of Val Kilmer. This is one is short and very sweet–perfect for sharing with friends!

Legion. Is it the most powerful adaptation of comic book material we’ve yet seen–or just the craziest? We spend the whole hour on the fascinating show from Noah Hawley and FX.

Before tackling the second half of P.T. Anderson’s career in our recurring segment The Director’s Chair, we talk weird shows from childhood.

Revisiting Tom Hanks’ career is like flipping through a family photo album. And in a weird sort of way, so is revisiting Paul Thomas Anderson’s early career.

We fulfill a promise and finally review NBC’s Powerless, using it as a jumping off point for the question: Why do we keep watching shows that we don’t immediately love?

First, the story of a young Miranda hanging out at Tippett Studio and coming to understand that everything in a film has been designed ahead of time; then, the gang continues their epic two-part talk on Westworld. 

The gang gets deep about Westworld, then Eddie and Miranda talk Dad Rock.

The Crow. Highlander. Sailor Moon. Point Break. The gang returns to some of our old favorites to ask the immortal question: So, Does It Hold Up?

Work–we all gotta do it. And then we all go home and watch TV shows about it. Workplace comedies are discussed in detail; then, 2017’s upcoming films are discussed in considerably less detail.

Criminal Minds, Hannibal, Murder, She Wrote, Twin Peaks, Unsolved Mysteries, Castle, Law & Order (original), Law & Order: SVU, X-Files, Dexter, The Killing, True Detective… that’s a lot of murder shows, people. We discuss what makes each distinct from the others.

When did you know you were a geek? And what would you give a burgeoning young geek to put them on the right path? The gang convenes to answer these questions, and then Victor Andersen returns to The Director’s Chair: this time around we talk Christopher Nolan.

The gang declares undying love for Steven Universe. Then, part two of our interview with cartoonist and musician Jesse Reklaw!

Cartoonist Jesse Reklaw discusses his new book Lovf with Miranda! And the gang ends up arguing over Rogue One while trying to talk about the positive side of 2016.

It’s the Shoot the Projectionist Christmas Special! We discuss PeeWee, Star Trek TNG, The Ref, Home for the Holidays, that one Scrooge-themed Cheerios commercial… AND hear a Christmas song from Jonathan Beast & the Bathroom Floors!

Touchstones or landmines? Miranda and Sam explain Howl’s Moving Castle and all things Studio Ghibli to Eddie, then interview author Leslie Light about gaming while female.
