Teevee

Steven and Erika of Lazy Doctor Who fame(?) launch a new effort covering the colourful, psychadelic, trippy, wtf-is-happening spy-fi series that is 1967’s The Prisoner. The world premiere of The Prisoner happened 50 years ago today — in Canada, of all places! Despite this bit of our national heritage, we’ll release our episodes 50 years after each one aired in the UK. So expect the first proper In The Village ep to cover “Arrival” on the 50th anniversary of its UK premiere: September 29. Yes, we’ll be watching in the original UK airing order. Do you have a problem with that? Well, you’re not alone. Don’t worry. We’ll cover this additional odd aspect of an already odd show. We hope you’ll join us and enjoy. If you don’t, then blame the Lazy Doctor Who listeners who asked for it. Be careful what you wish for! Be seeing you!

Voltron: Legendary Defender S3 - The Netflix series about five young pilots who have been swept up into an intergalactic war continues with a new season that dropped in early August. The team is in disarray after the events at the end of last season and there are new opponents to contend with. And then there’s the fact that this season was just a bit shorter than the previous two. Shannon and Nerdist associate editor Kyle Anderson are back and joined by Tony Sindelar to talk it all out. Host Shannon Sudderth with Kyle Anderson and Tony Sindelar.

Game of Thrones season 7, episode 7 - Here we are, at the end of the abbreviated penultimate season of “Game of Thrones.” This week we’re talking about sibling bonds (and other, closer bonds between blood relatives), serious looks between characters who share histories, and things to do in Eastwatch when you’re dead. See you next year! Or the year after! Or whenever the show comes back! Host Jason Snell with Monty Ashley and Brian Hamilton.

The team comes together - Sometimes you just want to watch a superhero team-up. There are other times you want your favorite team reunited. Lisa, Moze and Tony give your ears both! We all come out of our separate worlds to fight the Netflix Binge-O-Matic machine and both tame and recap the latest offering… “The Defenders.” Get a feed at feeds.theincomparable.com/defenders. Host Lisa Schmeiser and Philip Mozolak with Tony Sindelar.

Game of Thrones Season 7, Episode 6 - In “Beyond the Wall,” Game of Thrones takes us - where else? - beyond the Wall. There’s lots of walking, talking, some more walking, and then a few things happen. No big deal. Meanwhile, down south, Arya reminisces about archery, Sansa does some Raven Reconnaissance, and Tyrion tries to rein in Dany. Plus, we make fun of a terrible Dana Carvey comedy, Priscilla, Queen of the Desert actors are confused for each other, and Monty makes the Yu-Gi-Oh! joke to end all Yu-Gi-Oh! jokes. Host Monty Ashley with Brian Hamilton.

Preacher season 2, episodes 6-8 - James and Moze take a look at the mid season arc of Preacher to find backstories on new characters. We offer up some predictions of the inevitable cliffhanger on the road to find God. As per usual, we are dismayed at how many people we know are not watching this fantastic show. Host Philip Mozolak and James Thomson.

Arrow Season 1, Episodes 11-12 - The Speedy Arrowcast team is back for another Flashback episode, covering episodes 11 and 12 of season 1.

Game of Thrones Season 7, Episode 5 - Hey, it’s Gendry! Gendry’s back, everybody! Remember Gendry? He’s back! Okay, that’s probably something that’s going to pay off farther down the line. We also got to see Tyrion have a secret meeting with his brother Jaime, and they haven’t talked in a long time. And Jon Snow gathered up all the tough guys he could find and took them up north so he could grab Tormund Giantsbane and the surviving members of the Brotherhood of Fire and go marching north to kidnap a wight to show to Cersei Lannister. That’s the plan, anyway, but it’s probably going to break down into a bunch of fighting and screaming. The important part is that they looked real cool walking north from the Wall. Arya and Sansa are back to arguing with each other, but they’re doing it in an adult way, and it’s about whether they should be cutting people’s heads off. Arya is on the pro-decapitation side. Host Monty Ashley with Kelly Guimont.

Game of Thrones Season 7, Episode 4 - This week on “Game of Thrones”, not very much happened. Oh, sure, Jon lured Daenerys down to the beach to look at his cave etchings. And Missandei explained to Jon and Davos why Daenerys has so many followers—and why the best rulers are the ones you choose. And there was a reunion of three Starks in Winterfell, as Sansa and Arya were reunited at last and were joined by their brother Bran and his awesome new dagger. Between getting beaten senseless, Pod reminded Brienne that a major part of her promise to Catelyn had finally been fulfilled. Arya revealed to everyone at Winterfell that she’s an incredibly dangerous fighter. Bronn reminded us why we love him. Sam’s dad reminded us why we hate him. Oh yeah, and then a Dothraki horde and some dragons showed up. I suppose we could talk about that too, if we have enough time… Host Jason Snell with Monty Ashley and Erika Ensign.

Game of Thrones Season 7, Episode 3 - Jon and Daenerys finally meet—but resurrection talk is strictly outlawed. Jon and Tyrion are reunited, as are Sansa and Bran! Tyrion knows all the plumbing in Casterly Rock, but Euron has gifts for the queen and a sound strategy to waste the efforts of the Unsullied. And Jamie gets an earful from Olenna Tyrell, who is going to make her last scene her best one. Plus: Sam doesn’t do anything gross! We break it all down. Host Jason Snell with Monty Ashley and Brian Hamilton.
