Superfeed! From The Incomparable

Listener Gregory thinks Pop-Tarts are pies. We have ratio questions. Also: We remember so many burned palates caused by calzones and McDonald’s fruit pies. John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

This one gets pretty dark, with a training mission that goes horribly wrong, leading to casualties. Meanwhile, Holly Hunter watches Paul Giamatti chew scenery (in the best possible way). Plus, don’t forget the YA-mandatory and story-arc-relevant sexy times! Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

Welcome to our last mission to say goodbye to the Agency. It seems fitting that we do this on Valentine’s Day, exactly six years after we started. We’ve gathered a collection of Agents to reminisce about some favourite episodes, provide recommendations for what we should have talked about, and get sentimental about memories of the past 6 years. We are glad you are here to join us on our final love fest to celebrate what was and where you can continue to find us on the Incomparable mission. We love our listeners! Thank you for being Agents of SMOOCH with us. Annette Wierstra with Moisés Chiullán, Kirsten Goruk, Sandra Wong, Kathy Campbell, Shelly Brisbin, Micheline Maynard and James Thomson.

I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride it where I like. Shaenon K. Garrity returns to discuss Flan O’Brien’s enigmatic The Third Policeman (written 1940, published 1967). John McCoy.

Want to see a dead body? Bring your comb, stock up on cherry flavor Pez, and stay really quiet if you see a deer. We return to the 1980s and honor Rob Reiner by discussing 1986’s “Stand By Me,” a movie Jason has somehow never seen. It’s not a movie with Things That Happen, but that’s just fine with us. Jason Snell with Kelly Guimont, Erika Ensign, John Siracusa and Shelly Brisbin.

Jennifer shares a down-to-earth nerd-out she’s held since childhood. Sandra Wong with Jennifer Chow.

This episode is either recon or snack-eating, depending on the adventurer. Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Chip Sudderth, Kathy Campbell and Monty Ashley.

Simon is back and this time he’s off to Pacoima for his mother’s birthday party with Trevor in tow. We cover another couple of episodes of Marvel’s Wonder Man show which continues to make strong choices and is really opening doors for some terrific actors. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Dan’s working to patch things up with everyone while he and Jeremy host a Seder for the team. Meanwhile, Casey’s figuring out his top favorite movies. Lex and Brian discover some overlap in their top movies too, but we’re best buds, so no need to patch anything up. Right Lex? … Lex? Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

Listener Gregory tries to confuse us with a question about open-faced sandwiches and pizza. We largely ignore him and talk about different ways to eat things that are like pizza, but aren’t quite pizza. John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

This week the fate of The Sisko is revealed, sort of, as Sam investigates one of the great mysteries of the universe: What exactly happened in the “Deep Space Nine” series finale? More than a nostalgia trip, it’s a story that sets one of the “Starfleet Academy” characters on a new course. Plus: Our boy Kyle is back! Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

There’s a reason they call it “New” England Joe Rosensteel and Dan Sturm.

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with The Incomparable. It’s time to discuss that Canadian hockey show everyone’s been talking about. “Heated Rivalry” just wants to know, “Will you come to the cottage this summer?” Annette Wierstra with Kirsten Goruk, Heather Berberet, Stacy Watnick and Kat Benesh.

Erika comes out from behind the curtain to geek out over a beloved pastime. Sandra Wong with Erika Ensign.

Does everyone on this episode have a good time playing trivia—with THREE new editions? Oh yes we didgeridoo! Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky with Glenn Fleishman, Jason Snell, Monty Ashley, Sandra Wong and Shelly Brisbin.

In this new adventure, the Keys are sent to the country to investigate zombie activity. They meet an important cow. Also a zombie. (But not a zombie cow.) Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Chip Sudderth, Kathy Campbell and Monty Ashley.

The entire run of Marvel’s new Wonder Man show dropped all at once but like conscientious casting directors we’re going to work through them all slowly and give each the time it deserves. This week we’re coving the first two episodes which introduce us to our hero, Simon Williams, and his shady new mentor Trevor Slattery. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Listener Scott’s wife sure has a strange definition of which way is up. John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

The Klingons are back, and they’re not doing so hot! We discuss debate etiquette, podiums, who writes The Doctor’s introductions, and maybe a little cultural imperialism, Federation style. Scott McNulty and Jason Snell.

Guillermo del Toro’s waited his whole life to make a “Frankenstein” movie, and now he’s done it. We carefully select the (Oscar-nominated!) film’s best bits, chop them up, and then sew them back together in the grossest way possible. (We know Del Toro would approve.) You don’t need to have a degree in Frankensteinology to take a seat at the lympahtic charcuterie board, but it helps! Jason Snell with Annette Wierstra, Brian Hamilton, Monty Ashley, Tony Sindelar and Moisés Chiullán.
