    Free the Squee 14: What's In The Box?!?
    Feb 1 2025
    FTS offers another “first”- this time a live unboxing version of Tell and Tell. It might be bigger on the inside…We tempt and tease each other with our current favorite TV (Bad Sisters and Silo), and take a trip into Tangent Town to discuss our culturage heritage when we’re supposed to be discussing nerd food. Please note: The wildly divergent content of this episode and our inability to stay on topic in no way reflects how our brains work.

    Stacy Watnick and Heather Berberet.

    Dan is desperate for Isaac to step up and encourage the president of the network to fight racism. You’ll never guess whether Isaac steps up. (Spoiler alert: He does.) Also, Donna Moss appears in a storyline that’s good with an execution that’s less good. Our thanks to Brian Warren, Lex Friedman, and the whole Sorkin’ In It team.

    Lex Friedman and Brian Warren.

  • The Incomparable Mothership 751: Big Fascist Dinner

    The Incomparable Mothership 751: Big Fascist Dinner
    Jan 24 2025
    Are fairy tales real, or are they mental refuges from the horrors of real life? Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pan’s Labyrinth” toggles effortless between bizarre, Miyazaki-like fantasy (inverted toads!) and an all-too-real tale of violence and treachery in fascist Spain. It’s dark, beautiful, full of disgusting bugs, and manages to use Del Toro muse Doug Jones as not one but two separate monsters!

    Jason Snell with Moisés Chiullán, Steve Lutz, Tony Sindelar and Monty Ashley.
