Episode 293. Top questions this week: If "space opera" is a narrative genre, are there also "land operas?" Can you really taste subtle notes of oak in that wine, or are you just making that up? Will the four Beatles movies have four popcorn buckets that combine to make one big bucket? Why aren't there any original, non-franchise superhero stories on film? We also discuss Marvel's five-hour livestream of chairs, if the fight to save Coyote vs. Acme will give it a box office bump, trailers for One Battle After Another and Tron: Ares, the new Spider-Man trilogy, the crime thriller Prisoners, and the biggest Paul Bettany you've ever seen.Click here to watch a video of this episode.

Episode 291. We ask what you should do if you find the image of Jesus, a celebrity, or a Pokemon in a food. How do you preserve it? Who authenticates it? Who would pay $70,000 for something like that? Kyle catches us up on Daredevil and is two degrees of separation away from a Narcos character. Melissa brings us a real horse performance and tries to understand high society at the opera and symphony.

Episode 289. When podcast is on a bagel, you can have podcast anytime! We use the Super Bowl as a launching pad into a discussion on our favorite commercials, from the big game and otherwise, from the nostalgic '90s to today. Topics include: campaigns that made one commercial so good they just ran it for years, playing a board game in an abandoned factory, kids who interrupt school to do a berries 'n' cream, Jack Box's human wife, and whether you loved or hated the Quizno's spongemonkeys.

We discuss new movies in the "20th century tragedies" genre, including Nickel Boys, September 5, and The Brutalist, balanced out with the breezy comedy One of Them Days and bizarre art film The Timekeepers of Eternity. We look to the future, trying to predict our respective mid-life crises, and planning the rest of the year of Captain's Log episodes.

We catch up on winter break moviegoing and read over our media stats from 2024. Kyle read dozens of detective novels, implores us all to watch Pachinko, and introduces us to Chicken Nugget, a Korean show about a girl who turns into an anonymous, silent chicken nugget and her father and boyfriend just have to deal with that. Melissa experiences the nearly four-hour epic The Brutalist, counts down her top moments in film and her playlist of favorite YouTube videos about media oddities and ill-advised craft experiments, and introduces us to Hundreds of Beavers, a movie that is easy to describe but difficult to believe.Click here to watch a video of this episode.

Episode 285. We have a lot of existing movies to talk about, like Conclave, Anora, Heretic, and Piece by Piece, and we have an exciting pitch for a new Inspector Gadget movie that's a Substance-esque body horror but also one of his hands is a different vape on each finger.

Episode 277. If our slogan is that we "thirst for the taste of legend," and Oklahoma City is building the world's tallest building and calling it Legends Tower, we understand the bargain we've unknowingly struck to lick that building.
