Agents of SMOOCH 131: In The Manner of Elegant Females

In this episode, Naiasa does some John Woo action film moves, Hermioneigh makes a carbon copy of herself, Lonewalker approaches the grick, Frittat’ha is careful not to set her friends on fire, and Lovyn wants to know if there are still cupcakes. Oh, and Tony makes bird noises. Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Mikah Sargent and Sebastian Runnings.

“Doctor Who” is back, and you know what that means: Russell T Davies has once again built a story designed to re-introduce the show and introduce a new companion. Oh, and also this podcast has returned! We discuss Miss Belinda Chandra in all her forms—all hail the queen. Chip Sudderth and Jason Snell with Annette Wierstra.

This George Stevens (best director Oscar) epic looms large. It’s a classic “roadshow” film of the 1950s, complete with West Texas vistas, Technicolor, big stars like Rock (Hudson), Liz (Taylor) and Jimmy (Dean), but no intermission, even though it’s three hours long! It also looms large in the history of the Texas towns (Marfa and Valentine) where it was filmed. I’ve grown up with stories of people tangentially touched by the production, and there are songs that celebrate, or sometimes give the side eye to, the whole thing. Shelly Brisbin with Laura Rice, Micheline Maynard, David J. Loehr and Randy Dotinga.

Spray on some insect repellant and don your hazmat suit, because Del Toro Club has re-formed to discuss a gigantic layer cake of infinite bugs, 1997’s “Mimic.” Parts of it are very Del Toro indeed, while other parts leave us scratching our heads about why something that had a whole lot of potential ended up playing as a pretty good B (not bee!) Movie instead. Are the Weinsteins to blame? (Yes.) Jason Snell with Moisés Chiullán, Steve Lutz and Tony Sindelar.

We are here in praise of Austen’s Pride & Prejudice but also for wet shirts, poorly executed proposals, and good face acting. Join our much overdue mission about BBC’s 1995 Pride & Prejudice. Since this mission was as fun as a ball at Netherfield, it may lead to more infatuated missions about other Austen adaptations. Annette Wierstra with Kirsten Goruk, Erika Ensign and Katie Mack.

The team is covering the sweet 16 and Bobbi Bernstein returns. She’s not the only one, because Rebecca’s “ex,” Steve Sisco, makes a surprise visit. The team is eagerly anticipating Isaac’s return, but they’re going to have to wait a little bit longer. Finally, Casey has some very particular thoughts regarding cake, and your pals Lex and Brian don’t agree. Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

It’s a special edition of Doctor Who Feuding Families, recorded live in the courtyard at the LAX Marriott during Gallifrey One 2025! Join us as a group of Doctor Who fans (and, as it turns out, podcasters) brace themselves at the sheer gall of some of the answers given by you, the listeners… Jason Snell with Steven Schapansky, Erika Ensign, Heather Berberet, Sarah Murphy, Chip Sudderth, Riley Silverman, Warren Frey and Tom Dickinson.

In this episode, Lovyn gets his face ate; Naiasa makes poor life choices that are tactically unsound across a range of dimensions; Fritatt’ha bellows into a beak; Hermioneigh struggles to hit; and Lonewalker loses his elk. Oh, and Tony doesn’t know cupcakes. Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Mikah Sargent and Sebastian Runnings.

Just in the nick of time we’re back to cover episode seven of Daredevil: Born Again. After last week’s showdown in the sewers Matt must track down and stop a serial killer before he strikes again. Did this episode stick a three point hero landing or could it have done with a muse to inspire something a little more daring? Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.
