The Incomparable Superfeed

Just in time for Wimbledon, Listener Muhammad provides a “tennis robot” for us to judge. We issue a judgment, but we’re not particularly happy about it. John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

This season finale features a good plan, a janky blankie, a lot of running, and some Gunk in the mix. Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, Dan Moren, Erika Ensign, Steve Lutz and Tiff Arment.

Time travel! We’re going back to ‘97 to rejoin our X-Men, who find themselves separated and trapped in the past and in the future. In ancient Egypt a nacent Apocalypse is just starting to find his strength while in the future his grip on the world is cemented. Meanwhile, in the ’90s, X-Force and X-Factor are being dicks to each other and to everyone else. Can nostalgia carry the day? Read along to find out! Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Get out your PowerBooks and prepare to punch an alien in patriotic fashion! We celebrate Independence Day with a 30-year-old film, “Independence Day”! It’s a lot of movie. Is Jason ready to forgive it? Jason Snell with Moisés Chiullán, David J. Loehr, Aleen Simms and Tony Sindelar.

Everyone is sad in 1971. Belicova is sad about Sasha. The engineers are sad about the Chief Designer. Lyudmilla is sad about Petrovsky. Sergei is sad about his career prospects, but never about math. The Chief Designer is sad about certain people interrupting him from pulling beets. Irina is sad about a lot of stuff. And then, in the last moments… is that a flash of hope? Maybe, but it’s probably just gonna make people sad next week. Dan Moren and Jason Snell.
