Fond of me lobster.
Are You The Spy? (V)
We’re back and better(??) than ever. Quinn only makes one mistake with the rules, but it is a brand new mistake, because we like to keep things interesting around here.
Black Widow
It’s a brand extension! It’s an action movie! It’s a delayed-by-pandemic hit! It’s on your TV! We say goodbye to ScarJo and hello to Black Widow 2.0 and the rest of the family.
Defocused 329: Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar
And soda fountains.

We can’t remember how this works, but it’s certainly trivial.

Loops!

It’s safe to say that this wasn’t Christopher Nolan’s best work.

Like Groundhog Day but with more stuff.

Who wants a rounded dowel?
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

Helene Wecker and "The Hidden Palace"
A lot of stuff happened between the publication of “The Golem and the Jinni” and the forthcoming release of “The Hidden Palace.” We take a journey through building a book with Helene Wecker.
(Fair warning: there are some very minor spoilers in this podcast. We think you can handle it, but if you are entirely spoiler averse, look away!)
Pre-order The Hidden Palace on Amazon or via a local independent bookstore.
"Star Trek VI"
One Klingon to read the rules, another to carry the box.
