The Incomparable Superfeed

Drink a lot of water and be in a safe space when you watch these episodes of Spider-Noir. Ol’ Ben Reily is flashing back to his past and he’s trippin’ balls and curling up in bed. On top of all of that an old friend appears to fit us for a suit of deliciously acted fun. Dan Moren, John Moltz and Guy English.

Listener Santiago wonders if a ‘wolf-inspired’ vehicle from Kawasaki is a robot, a metal horse, or just a vehicle. John Siracusa and Jason Snell.

William Gibson Book Club reconvenes to close out the legendary Sprawl trilogy with “Mona Lisa Overdrive,” a book in which there are lots of vibes from a lot of people who are secondary characters in a story being driven by an AI that we never really meet. Robot art projects! Many overlapping jackets, none of them the same size! And a car ride to… the future?! We break it all down. Jason Snell with Antony Johnston, Erika Ensign, Lisa Schmeiser and Glenn Fleishman.

This one’s a banger. The KGB has got the mole… or do they? What will happen to the Chief Designer’s risky mission to Venus? Is Lyudmilla out of control or does she have the upper hand? And Brezhnev makes a surprise appearance! Dan Moren and Jason Snell.

This episode is probably a backdoor pilot for a spin-off show about “Riptide.” Jason has a lot of opinions about pilots. Stay tuned through the final music, because the episode keeps going. Twice. While Phil eats pizza. Jason Snell, Philip Michaels and David J. Loehr.
