And with two weeks of listener questions on the back burner, there’s a lot to sink your teeth into.
If you’re a fan of robots, AI, Asimov-ian scifi, this might be the movie for you. Following on the all-too-relevant theme of AI, The Creator tells the story of a future where a large part of the world has embraced augmented humans, and the other hates it. It’s visually arresting and sometimes tonally unbalanced, but it will leave you with plenty to think about. And it was a struggle to get into the theater, so thank Jim and A.Ron for braving the difficulties.
The Marvel Machine is giving us the highly anticipated season 2 of Loki! Join Jim and A.Ron as they embark on the timey-wimey adventure of Loki, former villain, across multiple timelines. Get a refresher on where Season 1 left us, what characters are still in play, and how the show is set up for Season 2!
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.
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?
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. They’ll combine their personal observations and opinions along with intel from David Goyer himself. Join in as Pete, Jim, and A.Ron put a bow on Season 2 of Foundation.
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.
Season 2 is in the books and David S. Goyer is back to talk about it. As fans of the show, A.Ron and Jim have some burning questions that need answering. When did the Spacers make a deal with Hober? What was up with those lens effects? Is the Mule a Thespin? Though the future of Hollywood seems uncertain, Goyer is confident in the future plot developments of Season 3.
