The Incomparable Mothership

No voiceovers! More unicorns! Our journey deep into the futuristic world of 2019 Los Angeles continues with another look at “Blade Runner” — this time, it’s “The Final Cut” edition. Deckard’s identity revealed, sort of? Voiceovers removed! Superfans and sort-of-fans compare, contrast, and discuss. Jason Snell with John Siracusa, Antony Johnston, Erika Ensign and Moisés Chiullán.

All we could do is sit there and watch it play. Jason Snell with Monty Ashley, Steve Lutz, Kelly Guimont and Dan Moren.

Hit the books and polish up your comm badges, because it’s time to go to school—“Starfleet Academy,” that is. We check in on the first season of Star Trek’s latest (and last, for now?)

Jason was on “Jeopardy!” Now he breaks the experience down with the help of two former “Jeopardy!” champions, Glenn Fleishman and Dan Moren. Jason Snell with Dan Moren and Glenn Fleishman.

Have your squire put on your best (and only) set of armor and be sure to re-paint your shield! We’re here to discuss the surprisingly delightful “Game of Thrones” spin-off “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms,” which features characters to root for, humor, and other things in short supply in other installments of the franchise. Jason Snell with John Siracusa, Erika Ensign and John Moltz.
