This week on The Legends of the DCU Podcast! Drew Leiter and Cletus Jacobs run into more devils as we return to another episode of the Sandman as Morpheus decides who is going to rule hell. On a monster-ravaged, post-apocalyptic Earth where evil has already triumphed, humanity clings to survival as a long-missing Green Lantern—once the lone beacon of hope—remains absent while Solomon Grundy’s ever-growing undead army tightens its grip on the isolated island of New England in Green Lantern: Dark.

Flopcast episode 724! A few weeks ago, we reviewed the 1925 silent black and white version of The Wizard of Oz, and it was… not great. So this week, we’re watching the 1939 version, which has sound and color (you know, mostly), and is arguably the superior film. And we’re here to talk about it. Our discussion includes: Professional show chickens, crullers, how people are still suckered by psychics, Dorothy’s red hair, professional show crows, Martin Short as a picket fence, the Tin Man’s Boston accent, “Existential Blues” by Tom “T-Bone” Stankus, a scarecrow with a gun, fake owls, and Huey Lewis.

We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 25 “Bounty,” but only Jamie has actually watched the episode. Jarrah from Women at Warp is back with us this week to discuss this episode that involves T’Pol going through pon farr, which for some reason mostly seems to involve rubbing her body on every wall. Also, perpetual damsel-in-distress Archer is kidnapped again, which may seem familiar since it happens in every third episode of Enterprise (seriously — we checked!).  Mentioned: The Women at Warp episode that inspired our “Where is HR?” segment is called “Labor Standards in Star Trek” Rikermendations Jarrah: Heated Rivalry Maria: Roofman Bill: Cult of the Lamb Jamie: Persimmons Sound assistance by K.O.

For four seasons For All Mankind has told an alternate history of our world. Set in a world where the space race continued, because the Russians put a man on the moon first, the series tells a generational saga about humanity’s exploration of space. With a fully fleshed out alternate universe and a hopeful yet pragmatic bent the series is truly unique in the television landscape. In this episode we take a look at the first four seasons of For All Mankind. We talk about the unique features of the series that make it a draw for viewers. We discuss the alternative nature of the universe and what lessons we can draw from it for our own. Along the way we get into our favorite characters, mental health, and what we want to see in season five! Due to time constraints is no five-minute controversy this time.

Jim reflects on the first time he saw an intense horror film from 1976 which was the film debut for Brooke Shields – “Alice, Sweet Alice,” directed by Alfred Sole and starring Linda Miller, Mildred Clinton, Paula Sheppard, Niles McMaster, Jane Lowry, Rudolph Willrich, Michael Hardstack, Alphonso DeNoble, Gary Allen, and Lillian Roth. In 1961, members of St. Michael’s Catholic Church are shocked when a young girl (Shields) is murdered just before her first communion service. But, there are more secrets to be discovered.

This week on The Legends of the DCU Podcast! Drew Leiter and Cletus Jacobs go to Hell in the Sandman. Batman’s investigation into the grotesque “Abomination” project erupts in Issue #9 as he uncovers a trail of mutilated victims and traces it back to Ark M, where he’s forced into a brutal confrontation with the first experimental monster. Issues #10–12 push Bruce deeper into the conspiracy as he discovers Bane’s twisted rebirth, the weaponization of Waylon Jones, and the revelation that Gotham’s elite have been funding a program to manufacture the perfect predator—using Batman’s own physiology as the blueprint. The arc peaks in Issues #13–14 when the final Abomination is unleashed, driving Batman into a desperate showdown that exposes the architects behind the project and leaves him questioning how far Gotham’s power brokers will go to control its future.

Flopcast episode 723! While poking through a box of old magazines at Rubber Chicken Comics, we found something called Superstars of Soul. It’s an odd little educational workbook from 1986, and it taught vocabulary and reading comprehension to the kids while they learned about their favorite soul acts. So we’re flipping through the whole book today, and our conversation includes: Chaka Khan on The Love Boat! Prince punching a guy! Coffee for the Pointer Sisters! Jeffrey Osborne meets the Big Blue Bug! Hall meets Oates in a freight elevator! And lots more. (Is this just our excuse to talk about Irene Cara for two episodes in a row? Perhaps…) Also: Kevin is talking Scooby-Doo on A Podcask of Amontillado, and we’re celebrating Pi Day with an irrational pie. #1980s #80s #superstarsofsoul #debarge #irenecara #pointersisters #eso #esonetwork #geektalk #geekpodcast #geek #nerdtalk #nerd #nerdpodcast #podcast #flopcast Episode 723 complete show notes and links at www.flopcast.net!

Last time that we discussed Invincible we talked about how it stands many of the superhero tropes on its head and gives powerful characterizations without wallowing in cynicism as so many series do. In this episode we take a look at the third season of Amazon Prime’s Invincible. We discuss what this season teaches us about Mark, Nolan, Cecil, and others. We question whether Nolan is a redeemable characters. We talk about Mark’s character and whether he comes off as childish, principled, or somewhere in between. We debate nuance with characters like Rexplode and Powerplex. Along the way we get into the topics of Viltrumite culture, why Peter Cullen’s voice grants a character instant trust, time travel, and achieving full Marks. Stay for the outtakes where Cammie makes the case that The Hunt for Ben Solo was canceled because the Di$ney executives hate women. Our five-minute controversy this time asks if Marvel pulling their unnamed July 2027 film is a good or bad sign of their efforts to improve the performance of their brand at the box office.

Episode 47 — From Star Trek to Van Life This episode of Have Coffee Will Travel looks a little different…because it is. For the first time, Shawn set up a camera and filmed the podcast while recording the audio. Why? Because he’s gearing up to launch a new YouTube project called The Long Way Around. The goal is simple: get comfortable on camera and learn the basics of video production along the way. YouTube video: https://youtu.be/yj0C2Bwm3Fk?si=5dw-J0FTCx1nZL0c Naturally, that led to a fun behind-the-scenes conversation about what it takes to start a talking-head YouTube channel. Shawn shares what he’s been researching lately—camera framing, sound quality, lighting, and how to actually talk to an audience through a lens without feeling awkward. It’s part learning process, part experiment, and Leah is more than happy to help put him through his paces. Then the episode shifts into a very appropriate theme. Since this is episode 47—a number every Star Trek fan recognizes—Leah fires a series of questions at Shawn about the legendary sci-fi franchise. Think of it as Star Trek for Beginners. Shawn explains why the series matters, what makes it unique, and why it’s captured imaginations for decades. If you’ve ever wondered what all the fuss is about, this is your crash course. After that, we catch up on life lately. Leah is eagerly waiting for her bees to arrive as she dives into the world of beekeeping, while her foot care business continues to slowly ramp up. Shawn, meanwhile, is getting excited about seeing Godsmack live in June with his two brothers. We also share a slightly unusual travel plan: converting a used Dodge Grand Caravan into a simple camper. The idea? Use it during road trips—especially when we head to the World’s Longest Yard Sale—so we can skip the hotel and sleep in the van instead. We wrap things up with some small-business talk, including recent Etsy sales and Shawn getting back into selling on eBay. Plus, we give our brutally honest review of Eyes Wide Shut (spoiler: we did not love it) and talk about preparing merchandise for our upcoming booth at Great Lakes Geek Fest on March 22. It’s a little Star Trek, a little entrepreneurship, and a little van-life dreaming—exactly the kind of conversation that happens when you sit down for coffee with us.

Jim discusses Director Larry Cohen’s Horror-Comedy “The Stuff,” starring Michael Moriarity, Andrea Marcovicci, Garrett Morris, Paul sorvino, Danny Aiello, Patrick )O’Neal, Scott Bloom, and several 80s notables from film and television.

Flopcast episode 722! In the wake of last week’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame episode, Kevin and the Mayor check out documentaries about two of the nominees: Luther Vandross and Jeff Buckley. (Kevin also stumbled upon a 1985 movie starring Tatum O’Neal and Irene Cara that we suspect has never been seen by anyone else ever.) And we brave the mean streets of Allston, Massachusetts (featuring poorly shoveled sidewalks and drunk college kids) to see a couple of wonderful bands: Foxy Shazam (those glam rock maniacs responsible for the Peacemaker opening theme song) and Descartes a Kant (a Mexican quartet with Devo-style costumes and a super-cool retro-futuristic concept album). Plus: The Mayor is a guest on a couple of other podcasts (The Doctor’s Beard and The 42cast) to discuss Doctor Who, Witchblade, and perhaps other nerd stuff. #luthervandross #jeffbuckley #foxyshazam #descartesakant #irenecara #eso #esonetwork #geektalk #geekpodcast #geek #nerdtalk #nerd #nerdpodcast #podcast #flopcast Episode 722 complete show notes and links at www.flopcast.net!

After more than six decades, Doctor Who remains one of the most imaginative franchises in television history — but in 2026, the show stands at a fascinating crossroads. Where is the TARDIS headed next? What has the modern era done right, what’s been lost along the way, and what does the series need now to thrive? Should Doctor Who continue full speed ahead, creatively reinvent itself, or even take a deliberate rest before its next regeneration? Moderated by the crew of the Earth Station Who Podcast, this panel dives into the future of Doctor Who, exploring storytelling trends, the changing television landscape, audience expectations, franchise fatigue, and the challenge of keeping the world’s longest-running sci-fi series fresh. Expect thoughtful discussion, fan perspectives, and lively Whovian debate as we look at what Doctor Who should be in 2026 and beyond.

This week on The Tales From Hollywoodland Podcast, the hosts sit down with acclaimed entertainment research expert and author Kevin Goetz to discuss his fascinating new book, How to Score in Hollywood. For decades, Goetz has been one of Hollywood’s most influential voices behind the scenes, shaping how studios understand audiences through movie test screenings and audience research. In this episode, he pulls back the curtain on the secret world of film scoring, audience reactions, and how some of the biggest movies in Hollywood history were refined before reaching theaters. The conversation explores the art and science behind test screenings, how filmmakers and studios interpret audience feedback, and the surprising ways audience research has helped shape some of the most successful films ever made.

We all have them. They’re the series that got away. They’re the things that we think about with a wistful “what if..?” as we contemplate what would have happened if one of our favorite series had continued. In this episode we dive deep into the nostalgia well. We discuss the series that we loved that never made it past two seasons. We talk about why we liked them and why we felt like they deserved another shot. This week’s five-minute controversy asks that in light of James Gunn saying that the DCU would only do one live-action series per year, if it is a good expenditure of their time to work on a Jimmy Olsen-centric series. This week Annie; Page; Felicity; and newcomer, Assad, join the cast. Show Notes:Our First Episode on This Topic Like what you heard? Follow us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/42cast.
