Peacemaker S2 (Biff! 248) The Peacemaker gang is back and after having saved the world last season they’re doing about as well as you’d expect. Not great.

Or will we end up with Mirror Universe Gunn? - Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Elio and Glordon's Excellent Space Adventure (The Incomparable Mothership 791) Pixar Club re-forms to discuss “Elio,” the studio’s lowest-grossing feature film of all time. Funny thing, though… it’s a pretty good movie? It’s funny, has some space adventure and gross-but-lovable aliens, and even has a nice message about making connections. Look, we didn’t go see it in the theater either, but we sure had a fun time watching it on Disney+. - Jason Snell with Moisés Chiullán, Brian Hamilton and Annette Wierstra.

Serious Academic Arguments (The Incomparable Mothership 790) It’s time for another Old Spooky Club, as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of Stuart Gordon’s horror-comedy classic, “Re-Animator”, which bears very little resemblance to the works of H.P. Lovecraft. We’ve got notes about severed heads, chomped-on fingers, lobotomized deans, weird character motivations, creepy stalkers, a literal blood bath, and everything Barbara Crampton. - Jason Snell with Steve Lutz, Tiff Arment and Monty Ashley.

Dana Get Your Gun (Sports Night S2E13) (Sorkin' In It 4.36) Dan wants to see Tom Waits, which is hard to explain. (Wait a sec. Lex, did you write this? I happen to like Tom Waits. Anyway…) Dana inherits a gun, which is also strange (OK, we both agree here). William H. Macy’s Sam gets a big storyline and a dramatic moment, and the substitute anchor filling in for Dan is so terrible that it — you guessed it! — beggars belief. We’re Sorkin’ In It all, though, so let’s discuss. - Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

A Hunting Lodge for Rich Weirdos (The Incomparable Mothership 789) We celebrate the 50th anniversary of the longest-running theatrical run of all time—“The Rocky Horror Picture Show”! It’s an unapologetic musical about being yourself (and giving yourself over to pleasure). It spawned a cultural phenomenon that’s still evolving, and making some of us feel old! If you’re a weirdo, you’re welcome here. - Erika Ensign with Monty Ashley, Shelly Brisbin, Antony Johnston and Brian Hamilton.

He's Just Bob (The Incomparable Mothership 788) We’re back on the Marvel movies with “Thunderbolts*”, a film that (to our surprise?) is not a nihilistic story about villains pretending to be heroes (see: Suicide Squad), but instead a story about some troubled not-quite-heroes learning that they can be better if they connect to other people and work on their own issues. But also with explosions and fights and stuff. - Jason Snell with Lisa Schmeiser, Erika Ensign, Moisés Chiullán and Glenn Fleishman.

The Sweet Smell of Air (Sports Night S2E12) (Sorkin' In It 4.35) Lex and Brian are back, and certainly missed you, dear listener. Sam’s back too, and Dana’s a bit “psyched out”. Meanwhile, the team lands an interview with Michael Jordan, but turns out there are strings attached; and Casey has to figure out how to talk to a bunch of 5th graders. What could go wrong? We’ll let you know as we do what we do: Sorkin’ In It. - Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.
