Ricky and Ron are closing a deal with Fox for “Peripheral Vision Man”; and ironically, Matt gives them some side-eye about it. Meanwhile, Harriet’s contemplating posing for pictures in her underwear, which we suppose beats posing for pictures in someone ELSE’s underwear. Jordan needs Danny to make some cuts, Danny warns Jordan her job is in danger, and boy, we’re hungry for a Snickers. No reason. Except that we’re Sorkin’ In It. - Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

With a third movie on the way, it’s time for us to tackle an R-rated “X-Men” spinoff, everyone’s favorite glutton for punishment, 2016’s “Deadpool.” Did it pass the test of skeptical first-time viewers? Does its balance of humor and ultraviolence work? And why did we find this deeply unserious movie strangely affecting? - Jason Snell with Erika Ensign, Kelly Guimont and Dan Moren.

Into the space library we go! Burnham faces a mental labyrinth while on the outside, the Breen are busy doing Breen stuff—being annoying, mostly. We discuss Moll’s commitment to her husband, delight in library wardrobes, and more—but only after Jason makes strange, brief digression to discuss “Magnum, p.i.” and how it’s not connected to “Star Trek.” Except where it is. - Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

Listener Ivan sent in a link to an autonomous excavator that assembled a six-foot wall out of rocks. Is it the Roomba of construction materials?! - John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

Lina du Lina is a sommelier who stores her emotions in her swords, and Elavor pleads the fifth acorn. Meanwhile, the crew traverses a misty hallway toward a wine cellar where Bruldish has a couple of axe-idents. - Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, Dan Moren, Erika Ensign, Jane Ritt and Mikah Sargent.

This week we’re catching a ride on a bullet train as we’re wisked off to Japan with our old pal Logan a.k.a. The Wolverine. Some great action sequences, a good bit of fun, and then there’s a third act. Then during our Superhero Sweep segment we chat a little about the new Batman animated series that’s coming out and some Fantastic Four casting news. - Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.
