I have always loved this movie. Even though it was made in 1951 the messaging, performances, and effects hold up and feel authentic to this day. It was a complete joy to watch with others who got as enthusiastic as I did. Check this one out and let me know what you think.

1 of 2 For All Mankind is one of the most inspirational shows that I've ever seen. But unlike most inspirational shows it isn't a relentless barrage of feel good stories and everything turning out ok in the end. Space is dangerous and the show shows that,

Invincible is the best written superhero TV series (animated or live action) of all time. The characters feel like how people would act if they had powers. The fights are amazing. The plots are interesting and keep you engaged. Come listen to some friends and I as we talk about this show.

Having watched so much TV over the years, I am always saddened by the great shows with such amazing potential that were cancelled far too soon. It was great talking with some others who felt the same way.

For years I wouldn't watch this movie, because I thought that it would just be a screed about the glories of the Confederacy. The reality was far more nuanced than I could have imagined. This was a neat panel, because we talked about this amazing film warts and all.

One Piece is bar none the greatest anime/manga to live action adaptation. There have been some other good ones, but this one is fantastic. They somehow figured out how to tell the story in less time, but still leave everything important intact. I highly recommend it.

Even though I love all of Star Trek, DS9 has always been my favorite Trek. It was a great experience to talk with a lot of people that I respect to discuss the finer points of this series and what made it so special.

I remember the Muppet Show from when I was really, really young. It must have been on second run some time in the early 80's, because I was 2 or 3 when it went off the air. I have *always* been entertained by these characters and love whenever they get a new iteration.

We've been waiting decades for an MCU version of the Fantastic Four, so did it live up to the hype? Check out the episode to find out.

It was so surreal that someone insisted to me that men and women see Gargoyles differently, but never explained how. They said that their podcast would explain, but their show ended before they ever released their Gargoyles episodes. Now, I'm seeing if this is true.

As much as I thought that Discovery never stuck the landing on ending the seasons, I loved the characters and was sorry to see it go. Had a lovely discussion talking about the finer points of the final season and looking forward to seeing some of the characters in Starfleet Academy.

Blake's 7 is one of those unsung gems that's a really gripping TV series. It was such a privilege to interview Jan and Brian and talk to them about their time in the series.

Everyone, The 42cast was cited in this article about X-Men: The Animated Series! www.slashfilm.com/2047553/why-... #xmen

There are a lot of opinions being dropped about the MCU these days. In this episode we really dive deep into the last few years of stories and talk about what we see as the trends, what we think are missed opportunities, and what we expect and what we hope for in Phase Six.

If you're following me I'd really appreciate if you would also follow my show, @42cast.bsky.social

I really love the Daredevil film and have ever since I first saw it. It's one of the few times that I've watched a movie three times in the theater. People hate on it a lot, but it's a story about hope after going through dark times with some fantastic performances. It was great talking about it.

I participated in a table read for the unproduced season finale of the Babylon 5 spinoff, Crusade. Go check it out! babylon5review.podbean.com/e/crusade-12... #Babylon5 #Crusade #Scifi

I can't say enough good stuff about Gargoyles. This show took animation to the next level with nuanced characters and storylines with subtle arcs that interwove all the world's folklore into a single narrative. I highly recommend checking it out and then listening to our episode on it.

When I saw how poorly Marvel was promoting Ironheart, I thought it was because they must have thought that it was awful. Imagine my surprise when I watched it and really appreciated the thought-provoking journey that it took us through. If you haven't watched check it out and then listen to us talk.

I didn’t get one last year, so I made sure that was rectified this year.

Here is my #ChicagoTARDIS schedule: Friday: 12:00 - Spotlight on: Susan Foreman 2:00 - Classic Doctor Who as a Document of Imperial Colonialism 3:00 - Interview: Carole Ann Ford 4:00 - Interview: Frazer Hines and Michael Troughton 8:00 - Trekking Along (Star Trek panel) 1 of 3

It feels like it's becoming common practice to slag off the original Doctor Who series as sexist, but how does it really stack up both against other shows of the time or against the new series? It's a serious topic, but as Doctor Who fans we thought it was well worth discussing.

Spartacus is one of those movies that everyone should watch at least once. We pulled together a panel of people that had seen the film several times before and two people who had never seen it at all. Give it a listen as we discuss why this movie is still talked about.

@tcc3.bsky.social remember this? www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPtB...

I've never played the Fallout games, but this show immediately hooked me with the overall tone & the retro-futuristic vibe. It's offbeat & funny while looking absolutely amazing and also being a bit disturbing and exciting. Love it and can't wait for S2. Have some fun and listen to us discuss.

Great to see the Netflix series acknowledged. I really hope to see more of this on Disney+ beyond more seasons of Born Again and the Punisher special. Would "really" love to have Heroes for Hire and/or Daughters of the Dragon. Listen to us talk about this glorious return.

Nathan: I love that the Punisher's love-language is, "well I didn't kill you, so I must like you." Mark: It's the gift of life! "The 42cast" Epsiode 260

Excited for the greatest night of the year tonight when we all get one extra hour of sleep. #daylightsavingstime

Sometimes it's just fun to appreciate a bad film with some friends, and this episode celebrates MST3K doing this for decades. There are lots of eras and we all have our preferences, but the show has always been funny. Listen to us chat about a great series!

I know that a lot of people won't give The Man in the High Castle a try, because they think that it would be too depressing, but it just isn't the case. The series shows that even when things look bleak that there's always hope. This is a show well worth watching.

I feel like What If..? was a real mixed bag. It had some amazing storylines, but towards end it just puttered out. I still boggle at how many good What If scenarios were left by the wayside to do some incredibly outlandish ones. Still, we had a blast talking season 3 and we hope you do too!

I'm a huge fan of time travel series, but this one was absolutely unusual. Some of the normal time travel tropes were there but combined and spun in a completely new way. I highly recommend that you watch Travelers if you haven't already and then check out our episode.

Well, my kid got me to watch this show during Covid lockdown after I'd showed her all of Gargoyles. It's an enjoyable series even though I think that it has a few missteps. We also chat a bit about the live action film and why we think that it flopped so massively.

Although I remember seeing the original series before TNG existed, this is the first Star Trek I watched live. It was a transformational experience for geeks, because so many people watched it. It was great revisiting that experience and had a blast sharing with my friends. #sttng #tng

In some ways this show frustrates me. It proves that Marvel can brings its A-game when it wants to and make something that is really cleverly written. It only irks me because they did it for such a minor-level character. Marvel, please bring this level of writing to more projects moving forward.

This show surprised me with how a concept that sounded so strange on paper can just be such an amazing combination of elements that leaves you always hungering for more. I definitely recommend watching Only Murders in the Building and if/when you have done so listening to our podcast ep.

My wife completed an image for my upcoming fanfic. From the heart of a black hole, a reality of eternal void. She is Rassilon's soldier, Sailor Gallifrey! #DoctorWho #SailorMoon

I absolutely love so much of the sci-fi and fantasy landscape of the 90's. It was a joy to discuss all of that with similar-minded people in this week's podcast.

I am really looking forward to the future of the DCU after seeing Superman (2025). As we wait almost another year for Supergirl why not check out both parts of our two-part discussion of the film and let us know what you think?

Some of the amazing monsters created by Mr Mellow's Cartooning that will be present in Shadow Quest. If you're interested in a play-by-post adventure, make sure to leave a reply. #shadowdark #ttrpg #RPG #dragonquest (1 of 5)

The amazing @valterink.bsky.social made a color version of the map for Shadow Quest. It really makes some of the features pop If you're interested in play-by-post with modified Shadowdark rules in a world inspired by Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest) let me know. #dragonquest #shadowdark #ttrpg

It was great with this one to not only see the beginning of a new version of Superman (we've had a lot of those in recent years), but to see the genesis of a whole DCU that feels like it has a past and a future. Give this one a try as we talk about Superman and the DCU.

Echo was definitely a risk on Marvel's part. Despite a strong performance by Alaqua Cox in Hawkeye, the character wasn't as well known as other Marvel series helmers. It was great chatting with other people about how we felt that this show worked in showcasing the character.

I'm seeing a lot of people post about how we should just go back to caring about how we enjoy a movie and not what the box office is. They're conflating two different things, and I don't think that they understand reality. First, it's perfectly ok to like anything that you want to like. (1 of 4)

If you loved part 1 then you should definitely check out part 2. If you haven't heard part 1 yet then what are you waiting for? Go back and check that out and then come and listen to this one.

We now have a logo for Shadow Quest, my new game based off the world of the original Dragon Warrior ( #DragonQuest in Japan) and with a modified ruleset from the #Shadowdark #TTRPG. If interested in assisting with development or play-by-post let me know by responding.

Had a lot of fun talking about Strange New Worlds. There's a lot to unpack, and it was great having such a great cast to talk about it with.

I'm developing a play-by-post game called Shadow Quest. It's based on #DragonWarrior ( #DragonQuest in Japan) for the NES and will utilize a modified version of the #Shadowdark #TTRPG rule set. If you're interested in keeping up with this or want to participate in development discussions reply below

I enjoyed some aspects of the DCEU but the majority left me cold. It was great being able to review the whole catalog and talk to other folks about exactly why I felt the way that I did about it. It was an interesting discussion that you should definitely check out.

The Superman films with Christopher Reeve have been a part of my life since I was very young. It was great revisiting those, reevaluating them as an adult, and discussing what didn't hit with Returns.
