If we have Glen Weldon, co-host of the Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast and author of the marvelous Superman: The Unauthorized Biography on as a guest, you’d better believe we’re gonna go down one of the many fascinating cul-de-sacs in the “super” cinematic universe — in this case 1984’s “Supergirl,” or — as we prefer to think about it — The Adventures of Faye Dunaway’s Fabulous Witch and Her Companions.

Oof, y’all. Oooof. Hillbilly Elegy? More like Who’ll-Kill-Me Smellogy! Got ’em! The Peaches discuss the controversial book-turned-apolitical and emotionally incomprehensible Oscar-bait sob-fest / catalog of yells.

We talk with Joel Church-Cooper, creator of the show Brockmire, about what it’s like to talk to actors about their less successful projects.

Yeah, but what if the mutants… were NEW? Hello from the Magic Tavern’s Arnie Niekamp joins the Peaches to talk about the long-anticipated, long-troubled, X-Men universe teen horror movie, The New Mutants!

Elliott quizzes us about prequels. Does anybody like them? Why prequels? WHY?

Stuart cracks the code to TV writing success, and gets some notes from his friends in the industry.

Cagemas comes but once a year! Unless, since this one is a little late, it will technically come twice this year, and none times last year. It’s confusing. It’s annual is what we’re saying. We celebrate the work of Saint Nicolas Cage this time with a discussion of the snakes-on-a-boat-and-also-other-animals thriller Primal. And for an august occasion like this one, you need a special guest! So this episode we welcome hilarious sweetheart Josh Gondelman of Desus & Mero and his book Nice Try.

We devote this mini entirely to the most obvious topic for a show being released the day after Christmas — Big Johnson T-shirts.
