We're executing a burn maneuver this week and returning to Mars orbit as we catch up on the last few weeks of "For All Mankind". We begin with a short recap of our feelings of the season so far and various threads we're keeping an eye on. We begin with episode 6, "No Sudden Moves," (4:38) as our characters, in the wake of their actions last time out, ask "what's the plan, now?" We then unpack the explosive episode 7, "The Sirens of Titan," (36:12) and question certain story choices before Titan reveals his Worst Science Moment of the entire show. Finally, we look at episode 8, "Brave New World," (01:19:25) a tense episode that lays down some very exciting groundwork for the final two episodes of the season.

As always, we hope you enjoy and ask you to like, comment, and subscribe wherever you find us!

Look out for us on Thursday for our first bonus episode! See you then!

It's about time we opened one of the key texts of science fiction - Doctor Who. This week we are taking a look at Doctor Who: The Movie, a failed attempt to launch an American version of the long-running classic, but an important and interesting piece of the franchise's history nonetheless. We discuss the film's muddled plot, overreliance on Who lore, and the performance of the Eighth Doctor by Paul McGann. We also compare the film to the 2005 reboot of the show, and examine how that pilot avoided the mistakes made in 1996.

And since this is our first look at Doctor Who, we take some time to look at the current state of the show and the shortcomings of the short-lived Disney era. That discussion begins at 01:11:52.

We will be back next week Monday to catch-up with For All Mankind Season 5 with episodes 6, 7, and 8. Until then!

Happy the Fourth of May! To commemorate this arbitrary day, we're taking a look back at the Disney era of the Star Wars franchise. We are also joined by a very special guest - a Star Wars expert - to help guide the conversation and fill in the gaps. Our discussion follows the franchise year by year since Disney acquired Lucasfilm in 2012. We look back at all the movies and most of the TV shows and give a whole variety of takes as we go along.

Culminating in a look ahead at the new release "The Mandalorian & Grogu," we also discuss how we ultimately feel about the franchise's direction and pitch our own ideas for what we would like to see. Do enjoy and like & subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. And this being Star Wars, of course, feel free to leave a comment. We can't wait for everyone's very normal reactions!
