Grand Admiral Thrawn isn’t the villain we deserved, he’s the villain we needed. Star Wars: Ahsoka keeps on a steady upward trend. The main complaint here is the criminal misuse of Wes Chatham. It’s not perfect, there are some odd character choices, but everyone’s still excited for the next episode.
Tyrion seizes the opportunity to wed Joffrey to the very bedable Margaery Tyrell. Cersei feels the remnants of her political power slipping away and Littlefinger climbs another rung of the ladder. This is the first of two interviews with Professor Jan Dolittle Wilson about Tyrion’s peak in A Clash of Kings.
This atypical romcom is the story of two broken people helping each other. Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper play characters in the throes of their mental illnesses. David O. Russell adapted and directed this project, and JLaw won her first Oscar playing Tiffany. With such a high pedigree in cast and director, it’s no surprise that this film delivers on every front. And yes, it is a Christmas film.
Grab your glow sticks, losers, we’re going to the catacomb nightclub. Overall, France seems pretty chill for the apocalypse. Jim and A.Ron called some of the reveals in this episode, did you? Between the tonal shifts and the not-so-surprising plot points, The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon delivers an episode that’s all over the place. Jim wants to lean into the insanity, are you ready to go down with him?
In Clash, Meera Reed claims that her father’s castle moves. Archeological evidence from iron-age crannogs might provide some clues.
Pete Peppers is here to discuss Foundation Season 2 with Jim and A.Ron! With the latest season all wrapped up, the three discuss the highs, lows, and twists of the story so far.

Is Jojen a good interpreter of dreams? And what’s the deal with medieval werewolves? Phil Haberkern is back to talk about all this and more. Then Pádraig MacCarron considers whether fighting with a net is chivalrous.
Much to the surprise of Jim and A.Ron, Grand Admiral Thrawn appears! A Star Wars show isn’t making us wait multiple seasons to see the character they’ve been teasing??!? This episode dives deeper into Filoni-created Star Wars lore (Wookiepedia has been a helpful source). What is Baylan’s ultimate goal? How do the Witches fit into the future? With only two episodes left, does Filoni have a satisfying conclusion for us?
Not much plot, just vibes. Richard Linklater gives us a look at the teenage years with doses of refreshing honesty, but keep in mind, this movie is still plenty problematic. But maybe that’s the point? Matthew McConaughey, Parker Posey, and Ben Affleck star in this time capsule of the teenage years. Jim and A.Ron reflect on the cultural shifts between now and the setting of Dazed and Confused.
It’s a return to form for a Walking Dead show, meaning it got worse. We’re back to the non-sequiturs and nonsense of TWD. You’ll get to see Daryl release a necessary mule and run from a handful of zombies. When Daryl isn’t acting out of character, we get to see more backstory for Isabelle and Laurent.
