113: Indiana Jones is Immortal Now! | We discuss the Indiana Jones movie series, including a brief revisitation of “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” the good parts of “Temple of Doom,” Dan’s childhood love for “Last Crusade,” and utter denial about “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.” Also, Lex hasn’t seen it. Recorded live at Cingleton Symposium, Montreal, October 2012. Host Jason Snell with Dan Moren, Lex Friedman and Serenity Caldwell. | 10/26/2012 | Free | View In iTunes |

131 |
112: Schrodinger's Cat Box | Our very own Glenn Fleishman’s was on “Jeopardy!” We debriefed him about his adventures immediately on his return. In this episode, Jason and Glenn are also joined by Andy Ihnatko and Steve Lutz, and we talk about game shows and their modern reality-competition show equivalents, as well as harken back to the heyday of the panel show, where drunk celebrities engaged in witty repartee. It’s an episode so comfy you’ll feel like you were back in the womb at Bill Cullen’s house. Host Jason Snell with Andy Ihnatko, Glenn Fleishman and Steve Lutz. | 10/19/2012 | Free | View In iTunes |

Today we are all John Siracusa, except for Scott. He’s our Rory. Host Jason Snell with Dan Moren, Glenn Fleishman, John Siracusa and Scott McNulty. | 10/5/2012 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
134 |
109: Evil, Surfing Ronald McDonald | Soon to be a major motion picture you probably shouldn’t see, David Mitchell’s 2004 novel “Cloud Atlas” is in our sights. This novel consists of six separate stories set in different genres and timeframes from the 1850s to a post-apocalyptic future, and yet they’re all interlinked. Somehow. It’s fun, weird, and challenging, but what does it all mean? Read it now before every character in it becomes Tom Hanks and Halle Berry. Host Jason Snell with Scott McNulty and Steve Lutz. | 9/30/2012 | Free | View In iTunes |

135 |
108: Journey: Then We Touched, Then We Sang | A video game beloved by John Siracusa, “Journey” for the PS3, is in the spotlight. We toot the biggest Spoiler Horn of all time — don’t listen if you haven’t played it! — and then talk about what we liked and didn’t like about Thatgamecompany’s desert-and-spoiler epic.

A bonus (unedited) episode, in which we react quickly to the premiere episode of this season of Doctor Who, “Asylum of the Daleks.” Plus: The Incomparable won an award! For podcasting! We react quickly to the announcement of the Hugo Awards. And we do many, many Dalek impressions.

138 |
105: That Mr. Hitler Seems Nice | Our Book Club reconvenes to discuss Jo Walton’s Small Change trilogy of novels, “Farthing,” “Ha’Penny,” and “Half a Crown.” (We fire off the spoiler horn before each novel.) These novels explore an alternate-history in which Britain makes peace with Nazi Germany, and focus on a detective who just wants to do his job—but his job keeps changing in increasingly awful ways. Host Jason Snell with Dan Moren, Glenn Fleishman, Scott McNulty and Serenity Caldwell. | 9/2/2012 | Free | View In iTunes |
|
139 |
104: Kids Have Bad Taste | Believe it or not, some of us have managed to breed successfully. Even Steve Lutz. So we talk about what media we provide for our kids. Topics include dealing with the Star Wars prequels, Spongebob Squarepants, how young you need to be to watch “Apocalypse Now” or “The Exorcist,” why “Tron: Legacy” cost Ben dearly, why John became a master weaponsmith in his childhood, Jason’s debates with his son over whether Spider-Man or Batman is better, Lisa’s childhood reading of “The Godfather,” picking video games for your kids, and how your children’s peers will just ruin them anyway. Host Jason Snell with Ben Boychuk, Dan Frakes, Glenn Fleishman, John Siracusa, Lisa Schmeiser and Steve Lutz. | 8/25/2012 | Free | View In iTunes |

101: Insular Nerdosphere | Our Book Club discusses “Redshirts” by John Scalzi. It’s a book that’s far more complex than its elevator-pitch premise would suggest, but did our panel appreciate its winking narrative-within-narrative structure? And more broadly, why are we worried about some of our favorite geek creators turning inward and pandering to the nerd audience?

100: Who Cares What We Think? | In our hundredth episode, we take a look at why we do The Incomparable. Can entertainment be appreciated without analysis and criticism? We also discuss how The Incomparable came to be, and pick some of our favorite (and least favorite) moments. Please forgive us for this self-indulgent meta-episode. We promise not to do another one until number 200.

We discuss Maureen McHugh’s “After the Apocalypse” short-story collection, Cormac McCarthy’s “The Road,” and other apocalypse tales we have known. Do zombies have their own David Attenborough, leading expeditions into Cleveland? Why should you be afraid if heavy snowfall combines with the appearance of strange invisible magic ghost sex-dragon monsters? And why does John Siracusa plan to ride out the apocalypse in style? We ask several of these questions, but you’ll have to listen to see if we ever answer any of them.

Scratch that geek spot
Books, Movies, TV Shows, Comics & Much More. If you could sit around with a few smart, funny people talking about the things they love and never get board, would you? Of course you would.
Jason Snell hosts this long running show with a rotating panel of guests some of which remember learning 6502 assembly. Meaning these are not a bunch of youngsters posing as geeks, but the real deal. If the movie of your life was "StarWars" or "2001", you will fit right in. Please check the back catalog for a variety of themes.
Great discussion, lots of reviews!
This was a great, fun podcast that I will certainly come back to sample again. The only bad thing I can say about it is that these guys added six more books to my already too-long list of great books to read. I hope my new Kindle gets here soon so that I can keep up with them. Good job all!
Geeking out at its best
This show is what a panel show is meant to be. The discussion topics are movies, books, and other miscellaneous topics that tend to appeal to geeks (i.e. a lot of science fiction and fantasy). The panelists get along well together, and Jason Snell keeps the unruly discussion moving in the right direction, at least most of the time (with the exception of the Stephen Fry episode, which was entertaining for its sheer ADD nature, and the fact that this is not normal). I look forward to when new episodes come out, and am disappointed when there is a spoiler topic that I have to save for later.
