Today’s mission is long overdue. Our agents have been preparing for it for 4 long seasons. It’s time to go to France, even if we can’t speak a word of French and are actually pretty bad at our jobs. This is a mission of love and of hate and Emily in Paris. Join our Agents as they explore why they are always annoyed with Emily and yet are enamoured with all the other things about this show. Annette Wierstra with Kirsten Goruk.
We celebrate Fangsgiving with a visit to darkest Transylvania (and Germany) for the plague-stricken, rat-infested tale of “Nosferatu”, a legally questionable knock-off of “Dracula” more than a century old that surprisingly reinvigorates the classic lines of the Dracula story. Jason Snell with Steve Lutz, Annette Wierstra, Tiff Arment and Tony Sindelar.
It’s the return of Eat or Be Eaten! Three years after its debut episode, here are some more questions that are all food or drink related. Let’s call this one “lunch”. You may become hungry while listening, or, like the contestants, you may just need a drink. Shelly Brisbin and Kathy Campbell with Antony Johnston, Annette Wierstra, Sandra Wong and Tony Sindelar.
The answer, my friend…is not a lyric in the any of the songs the McCoy Brothers discuss. For this annual drunk Thanksgiving Special, Rob, Dan, and John talk about Where Have All the Flowers Gone?, One Tin Soldier, and Alice’s Restaurant. John McCoy with Rob McCoy and Dan McCoy.
Plummeting frogs, chaff owls, and seducin’ medusas - oh my! The party fights and reunites as their path through pixelated perdition continues! Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, James Thomson, Mikah Sargent, Monty Ashley and Tiff Arment.
Ever wonder what happened to The Oneders? We celebrate Hanksgiving by discussing Tom Hanks’s love letter to ’60s pop that’s also a clear-eyed look at the machinery of the entertainment business, “That Thing You Do!” Powered by a legitimately classic pop song, a stunning cast (turns out, Tom Hanks knows some people), and scenes of joy, warmth, and kindness, this is a film that we find ourselves revisiting often. Happy Hanksgiving to all! And make it snappy! Jason Snell with Erika Ensign, Lex Friedman, Brian Warren, Kathy Campbell and Dan Moren.
A pitched battle with forest-dwelling medusas, a rock gnome smitten with said medusas, and giant angry birds harassing our heroes as they plummet to certain death are mere morsels of excitement in this installment of our adventurers’ saga inside a painting inside a book inside a house? Confusing? Yes! Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, James Thomson, Mikah Sargent, Monty Ashley and Tiff Arment.
Steven and Erika conclude a very good, but very dark story. Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.
Erika and Steven talk about Davros, mostly. With good reason! Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.
Steven and Erika talk about Nazis. I mean Daleks. No, I mean Nazis. But yeah, also Daleks. Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.
Sandra Wong announces a wee addition to The Incomparable network: a weekly(ish) chat show with famous guests, about their not-as-famous (possibly obscure!) geek-outs. Sandra Wong.
If you’ve been thinking of reading Science Fiction and Fantasy but had no idea where to start, we’re here to help. Our panel of longtime SF/F readers has some suggestions just for you! Jason Snell with Aleen Simms, David J. Loehr, Erika Ensign, Heather Berberet and Sandra Wong.
We’ve recently lost the iconic Diane Keaton, and the Agency wanted to do a special mission to honour her work. We chose The First Wives Club with Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler and some amazing power suits. Join us for a celebration of women, friendship, and a good dance scene. Annette Wierstra with Heather Berberet, Shelly Brisbin and Micheline Maynard.
Billy Wilder tells the story of a man’s (Ray Milland) alcoholic weekend, and the lies he tells to family and friends about his drinking. Surprisingly gritty and emotional for the era, and photography that heightens the mood. Also, Jane Wyman, Philip Terry, and Frank Faylen again. Shelly Brisbin with Nathan Alderman and Micheline Maynard.
Casey can’t see. It’s funny, even if it beggars belief. Sam’s leaving the show. That’s sad, even if it was inevitable. And there’s a break up on the show, but don’t worry, it’s not Brian and Lex. By some counts, this is our 100th show, and we’re still together, Sorkin’ In It. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.
It’s Random Pursuit, but with a twist! Welcome to the pilot episode of Random Pursuit: Choose Your Own Edition! In this new occasional variant, each contestant chooses their preferred edition of Trivial Pursuit, limiting the pool of questions to five editions. Now, how many players will actually randomly select questions from their preferred editions… Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky with Shelly Brisbin, Monty Ashley, Jason Snell, Kirsten Goruk and Dan Moren.
Our heroes move onward in a land of pixels and paintings as they wrestle with a split party, getting deep, real deep, into a book and a forest full of foes at fractious frame rates! Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, James Thomson, Mikah Sargent, Monty Ashley and Tiff Arment.
The Peacemaker gang is back and after having saved the world last season they’re doing about as well as you’d expect. Not great. This week we discuss season two of James Gunn’s Peacemaker. Can his pechant for dancing on a knive’s edge pay off again? Or will we end up with Mirror Universe Gunn? Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.
Podcasts could happen to anyone. David Loehr discusses exits and entrances in Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (first performed 1966, published 1967). John McCoy with David J. Loehr.
What’s a blog, and what’s a news outlet? Are Jason and John bloggers? John Siracusa and Jason Snell.
