The Incomparable Superfeed

For Halloween we watched a… not particularly spooky movie. It’s the 30-year-old supernatural comedy “The Frighteners,” starring Michael J. Fox and directed by Peter Jackson, who was about to embark on making many “Lord of the Rings” movies. We are not sure we see the connection! But this movie… is not normal. Who is the target audience? Why does Jeffrey Combs appear, mid-film, combing it up at 100...

Our Director of SMOOCH has unretired. Why? Because there are too many smoochable missions this fall to resist. So we’re back for a new season from Halloween to Valentine’s Day. We start with nostalgia and midnight margaritas and Practical Magic 2. Join us as we speculate about how we would break the curse and whether we would eat apple pie with custard. Host Annette Wierstra with Kirsten Goruk.

Is this the first LTS episode during which one panelist offered to smack another? Let me know in the comments. The 1940s were, among other things, the era of the composer biopic. Most were sanitized depictions of their subjects, but “Night and Day” works extra hard not to be truthful about its subject, Cole Porter. All this, while still doing him the enormous favor of casting Cary Grant to play hi...

Host John McCoy with Bill O'Donnell.

Welcome back to “Inconceivable!”, the show that tests two teams’ knowledge of the nerdy, the useless, and the obscure. This is a special episode of the show, recorded live at LACon V! As such, the audio quality is a little variable, but the fun and frivolity are still easily heard, as is the growing contempt the contestants have for the host and his punishing questions. Hosts Dan Moren and Jason S...

Shocktober 2026 comes to a close with the finale to “Tag O’Keene’s Final Rest.” In order to lay Tag to rest, the party will need to fight a Minotaur with a bull. Host Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, Annette Wierstra, James Thomson, Kat Griffiths, and Mikah Sargent.

A scary robo-Jawa is on a murder spree and our intrepid Vision Squad is on the case. We learn the identity of the Butcherbird serial killer and it turns out it is all connected. Can Vision, Tommy, and his gang of four (five?) AIs crack the case in time to save Laura Roslin? Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Put on your shin guards and get out on the pitch, because we’re tackling the return of “Ted Lasso” for a fourth season after it seemingly ended with season 3! What did we think of the new story arcs? Was the villain obvious and did it matter? Is Roy Kent the Fonzie of “Ted Lasso?” Follow the money. Host Jason Snell with Chip Sudderth, Erika Ensign, Kathy Campbell, Moisés Chiullán, Casey Liss, and...

In 1932, Joan Crawford made Letty Lynton, a film that represented a milestone in her career. But it’s barely been seen since the 1930s. That’s because of a thorny legal dispute over a story that the movie’s only partially based on. Thanks to one of her grandsons and the Warner Archive, Letty is now available to view on disc or steaming. We’ll tell you the story of its long journey back to the scre...

What do you do while you’re waiting? If you’ve been waiting for another episode of Sorkin’ In It, good news, because Lex and Brian are here for you. The Panthers have a bye week, but that just gives everybody time to do other things, like sue the coach, or work through family issues, or just be moody. We hope you’re in a good mood, though, and can’t wait to Sorkin’ In It with you. Hosts Lex Friedm...

Aleen Simms, writer and podcaster, joins Scott to discuss “Brothers” (TNG S4E3). Topics include how nice it is to watch a good episode of Star Trek, how complicated families can be, old man Scott remembering how people used to watch television, and when it is ok to just leave your kids unattended on the Enterprise whilst you enjoy your sabbatical. Host Scott McNulty with Aleen Simms.

Some nights it’s just so hard to find a good place to bury a body. Especially when the body owes someone money. Host Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, Annette Wierstra, James Thomson, Kat Griffiths, and Mikah Sargent.

This week we turn back to Marvel and the third show in the Jac Schaeffer-verse: VisionQuest. Terry Matalas is running the show this time out. Can he capture a similar magic as WandaVision and Agatha all Along? How many Star Trek actors are in this show? What’s the newly rebuilt Vision been up to all this time? Read along and find out! Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

In Jason’s absence, Shelly indulges her fondness for disaster movies, a genre that peaked in the 1970s. And what better way to revel in disaster than with a draft? From shipwrecks to nuclear war to runaway planes and trains, we’ve got you covered in cinematic mayhem. There’s even a zeppelin. Host Shelly Brisbin with David J. Loehr, Monty Ashley, and Micheline Maynard.

From the Relay St. Jude fundraising campaign comes this game where three familiar Incomparable voices with a bit of televised game show history compete in a game of answers and questions! Host Dan Cassino with Dan Moren, Glenn Fleishman, and Jason Snell.

Norah takes a breath from racing between errands to share a high performance geek-out. (Special thanks to the Romancing the Vote 2026 auction for bringing Norah to the show!) Host Sandra Wong with Norah Woodsey.

Shocktober continues with a dead hug, mushy terrain, and the logistics of generosity. Host Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, Annette Wierstra, James Thomson, Kat Griffiths, and Mikah Sargent.

Beauty is only skin deep, but podcasts go clean to the bone. Shaenon K. Garrity discusses four short stories by Dorothy Parker. Host John McCoy with Shaenon K. Garrity.

Steven and Erika finish off their Thanksgiving mini-marathon (the mini-est of marathons!) with a lot of complaints about the final episode of this story. Hosts Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Erika and Steven wish you a happy Thanksgiving (or a happy Monday if you’re not in Canada) as they discuss antimatter universes, captains under pressure, and also submarine movies because why not? Hosts Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky.

Listener David asks us several questions. We have many answers, but too few. Hosts John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

If there’s a show with a solid excuse to finish with a giant super-powered Kaiju battle Lanterns is it. While being fearless in its character-driven focus does this show stick the landing? Like the season finale of The Bachelor we finally find out who gets the ring. Hosts Dan Moren, John Moltz, and Guy English.

Inhale deeply of the intoxicating gases and get ready to discuss the “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” season gone by. Our panel of puppets, “Casablanca” characters, badmirals, and high fantasy types have opinions on the genre-shifting penultimate season. Too much Kirk, or just enough? What’s up with La’an’s journey? Beam us up, Scotty, but only if you’re not still experimenting with the transporter...

Season 4 is a wrap! Kathy, Chip, and Brian check in on our “Low Risk Prediction” list while recapping the final episode of the season. Yes, “Being Alive”, much like life, is a little messy, but we sure did grow attached to the new people we met along the way. Hosts Chip Sudderth and Brian Warren with Kathy Campbell.

Tony Sindelar, famed Dungeon Master and adventure writer, joins Scott to discuss “Unexpected” (ENT S1E5). Topics include Tony’s Kickstarter (you should back it!), trying to remember the names of Enterprise main characters, and if it is wise to stick your hands in random alien boxes. Host Scott McNulty with Tony Sindelar.
