If you’re doing it right the world is shades of gray. In this episode of Biff we’re off to a universe where Nick Cage is The Spider, a hard-boiled detective and washed out ex-super-hero. His latest case goes sideways and things escalate quickly as he finds himself stuck in a web of someone else’s making. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English Referenced Works Spider-Noir Show Notes & Links

Listeners Mark and Matt wants to know if everything on a screen is a video game. Jason ponders the idea that a PDF printout of a crossword puzzle could be a video game. John says that he is being silly and he should take these questions more seriously. John Siracusa and Jason Snell

Live from the Lincoln Lodge in Chicago, Illinois as part of FunnyCon, it’s a new adventure with Paul Citron. In the snowy, windswept plateau city of Tabularasa, Paul Citron runs into Elsa, an old flame from his radio days in Paris…and her husband, a freedom fighter named Lagonda. There are letters of transit, there’s a cafe with a casino, there’s a parrot who’s not quite an ex…and double and triple crosses galore. Note: the audio comes from the live video which will be available soon. It is what it is, alas. Shocked, shocked to find gamboling here... David J. Loehr Show Notes & Links With Marsha Harman, Tom McGrath, Austin Tichenor, and the foley artistry of Ele Matelan Featuring some music: As Time Goes By, performed on the zither by Andy Gosseling The Third Man Theme, performed by the Rat City Brass

We’re warming up the Ferrari and getting ready for another season of this podcast. In this preview episode, we’ll tell you what we’re watching next time. Listener Other Eric sets us on a deep mystery involving “The Chinese Typewriter.” Listener Ned is using us as inspiration. There’s also some Yacht Rock talk, because why not?

We went out to the movies to see “The Mandalorian and Grogu,” the first “Star Wars” film this decade. We had a really good time, thanks in large part to the charisma of many different puppets. (This is “Star Wars,” after all.) We aren’t without our criticisms—Is there ever really any danger? What is Sigourney Weaver doing?—but all in all, this film filled a Star Wars-shaped hole in our hearts.

The “Star City” premiere continues with a surprise bear, a tour of western European capitals, the Chief Designer’s secret basement workshop, and a beautiful Soviet wedding. Also, we continue to spot connections to characters in “For All Mankind”… we think. Dan Moren and Jason Snell Referenced Works Star City Show Notes & Links

We dial back the clock to the 1960s and travel to the Soviet Union for the first episode of “Star City,” the new “For All Mankind” spin-off on Apple TV. Cold war cars, secretive Soviets, a frenemy in the surveillance typing pool, surprising Cosmonaut pranks, and the difficulty of memorizing your propaganda speech are all topics of conversation! Dan Moren and Jason Snell Referenced Works Star City Show Notes & Links

The penultimate season reaches its conclusion! Who doesn’t make it? We were surprised. Does it all hold together? What characters were done dirty? What’s that glowing on the horizon? And what’s with that Soviet DOS prompt? We break it all down. And stay tuned, because our next episode(s) are all about the “For All Mankind” spin-off, “Star City,” which we like a lot! Dan Moren and Jason Snell

Disregarding popular demand, Inestimable is back with another installment that pits panelists against numbers and Glenn against himself. Scorekeeper Tony helps keep chaos at bay—or causes more?—by insisting on the correct number of U.S. states, what a pyramid truly is, and why Americans are left handed. It’s in this don’t-miss episode of Inestimable that we will forgive you for missing. Inestimable 4 Glenn Fleishman and Tony Sindelar with Antony Johnston, Dan Moren, Erika Ensign, Jean MacDonald and Shelly Brisbin
