The Barbara O'Neil Memorial Highway

Who among the female stars of the 30s and 40s retains more ID today than Bette Davis? She was the queen of the Warner lot when she wasn’t fighting with her bosses, and she played her share of scenery-chewing roles as both a young woman and an older one. But All This and Heaven Too is not one of these. The Davis we meet here is deep in melodrama, certainly, but her performance is controlled and quiet. She loves Charles Boyer, and he loves her, but nothing’s going right for them. Behold, LTS does romance! Shelly Brisbin with Philip Michaels, Lisa Schmeiser and Erika Ensign.

S1E9 Review: "Look for the Light"

It’s been ten years since we first had this debate, and now that the non-gaming public can also experience the end of The Last of Us, we get to have this debate again. Long time listener first time caller John Siracusa is our very special guest for the final episode of The Cast of Us Season 1. Thank you all for your support these last nine weeks, and we’ll see you when Season 2 comes out. Ben Rice McCarthy and Brian Hamilton with John Siracusa and Tiff Arment.

Arrow S6E7 Review: "Thanksgiving" (TeeVee 352)

It’s the time of the year when we give thanks. Even when the episode in question raises important issues like “when is it okay for vigilantes to beat up fake cops?” And “should you really be fighting about your startup name while there’s a bomb threat?” And, perhaps most significantly, “Billy Joel?!” But, hey, at least we got a character back! (Note that this episode does contain minor discussion of the Crisis on Earth-X crossover, which will itself be covered more fully in the future.)

Arrow S3E21 Review: "Al Sah-him" (TeeVee 67)

It’s just an ordinary run of the mill bad-guy-of-the-week for Team Arrow…only this bad guy used to be their best friend. John and Dan discuss Thea’s ascension to the team, Lyla being a badass, and more. Plus, a special guest shows up to debate whether Ollie has truly gone rogue.

“The Doctor’s Wife” (S6E4) (The Incomparable 39)

Neil Gaiman breathes life into the TARDIS in this week’s “Doctor Who” episode, “The Doctor’s Wife.” We discuss what we liked about this much-hyped episode, as well as detailing how Rory dies this week. Host Jason Snell with Dan Moren, Glenn Fleishman and Scott McNulty.

"The Snowmen" (2012 Christmas Special) (Incomparable 121)

A live “flash” episode recorded right after we watched the 2012 “Doctor Who” Christmas special, “The Snowmen.” We welcome (back?) Jenna-Louise Coleman and discuss whether this new start for the Doctor has rekindled our enthusiasm for the show. Host Jason Snell with Dan Moren, Scott McNulty and Serenity Caldwell.

Arrow S6E1 Review: "Fallout" (TeeVee 318)

Last season, on the Speedy Arrowcast…an island exploded, leaving most of our beloved characters’ fates hanging in th—never mind, they’re all fine. We’re back for the premiere of season 6. Hot topics include how you know when it’s probably time to move your lair, whether plaid and a beard can soften even the toughest villain, and whether 10 year olds are grown-ups. (Spoiler: They are not. Stop listening to Guy.)

Arrow S4E20 Review: "Genesis" (TeeVee 161)

Everybody gets the weekend off (including us)! We discuss Thea’s unwise relationship with Totally Not Evil Alex, Dig and Lyla’s choice of mobile homes, and Oliver’s latest Defense against the Dark Arts teacher. We also try to avoid going down the rabbit hole of discussing incarnations of DC Comics hero The Question.

Arrow S5E19 Review: "Dangerous Liaisons" (TeeVee 241)

After a few weeks off, team Speedy Arrowcast is back in action. This week, schisms rock the team as Felicity and Oliver face off. We discuss impractical infiltration garb, the time-space rift that has seemingly transported two of our favorite characters to a different show, and why certain people should probably not cast stones when it comes to the ends justifying the means.

A Dark, Dark Narnia

Get out your magical key ring and prepare for our discussion of “Locke and Key” by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez. It’s a dark fantasy/horror comic with some touches of Stephen King, fitting since Joe Hill is Stephen King’s kid! It’s also really good. We drop some mild spoilers for Vol. 1, “Welcome to Lovecraft,” which you should go buy right now. Plus: What comics are we reading?
