    Tenets, anyone?

    It’s a movie so complicated it needs flowcharts! Adam the Computer from the “Signal of Doom” podcast network joins Alan and Jim to discuss 2020’s “Tenet” and volley a few hot takes. !hctam dna ,tes ,emaG—er, Game, set, and match!


  • Ya got trouble right here on planet Rylos

    No 76 trombones here! Jim brings in another Drew to discuss 1984’s “The Last Starfighter” while Alan tries and fails to tie “The Music Man” into the conversation with no success.


  • Let’s do the time warp again!

    No Google Maps here! Derek drops in (ouch!) from the future to talk “Time Bandits” (1981) with Alan, including a digression about the series on Apple TV.


  • Going off the rails…

    Going off the rails…

    It’s a ride on a crazy train, for sure! Drü joins Jim in an attempt to keep Alan on track while they discuss anime and the 1979 film “Galaxy Express 999,” but Alan keeps derailing the conversation anyway.


  • Greetings, programs!

    Greetings, programs!

    Alan and Jim dive into the matrix (sort of) to discuss the original “Tron” (1982). Disney’s early CGI epic was released the same year as the short story “Burning Chrome,” the novel “Neuromancer,” and, of course, “Blade Runner,” more or less birthing cyberpunk and introducing the concept of cyberspace.
