28: Doctor Who S8E7 review: "Kill the Moon"
October 05, 2014 04:30 - 46 minutes - 21.3 MBWhat has the moon ever done to you? We discuss this week’s “Doctor Who” adventure, the insanely titled “Kill the Moon.” Is this original or more of a pastiche? The unexpected Courtney Woods story continues! Polka dots! And much more.

27: Sons of Anarchy S7E3-4: "Playing With Monsters"/"Poor Little Lambs"
October 03, 2014 20:36 - 1 hourDouble Shots! Lisa and Moze tread the last of the sluggish “Sons of Anarchy” episodes (hopefully) and discover something new.

26: Doctor Who S8E6 review: "The Caretaker"
September 28, 2014 03:19 - 34 minutes - 16.1 MBThe Doctor takes a job at Coal Hill School in order to stop a clicky-clacky robot who wants to shoot people full of laser beams. But that’s really beside the point in an episode that’s all about dialogue, character, and the relationships that the Doctor, Clara, and Danny Pink have. We break down the latest episode of “Doctor Who,” “The Caretaker,” and also ponder Matt Smith lookalikes, the Doctor as an officer and a Time Lord, and Courtney Woods, Disruptive Influence. Want only The Incompara...
25: Doctor Who S8E5 review: "Time Heist"
September 21, 2014 01:45 - 33 minutes - 15.7 MBFour people, no memories, and the biggest bank in the galaxy. What could go wrong? To break down Doctor Who’s latest episode, “Time Heist,” we’ve assembled a crack team of experts, each with their own special abilities. Also, we wonder about vents, praise the lighting technicians at the bank, and discuss whether looking into your own eyes is as bad as it’s made out to be.

24: Sons of Anarchy S7E2 review: "Toil and Till"
September 20, 2014 20:10 - 31 minutesWe examine what may have been the slowest episode of SOA to date. Exactly how many people do you have to kill before you qualify as a mass murderer? Is it the number of people or is it the time period in which you do the killing? We’re asking because this just might be the episode where Jax crossed over to mass-murderer status. Now that the Sons have already killed their way through Americans, Mexicans, Russians, Italians and Irish people, they’re going out for Chinese. If there is a “Kill A...
23: Doctor Who S8E4 review: "Listen"
September 14, 2014 07:33 - 33 minutes - 15.3 MBDon’t blink! Don’t breathe! But do listen to this episode, where we break down Steven Moffat’s “Listen,” a standalone episode with some surprising connections to Doctor Who history. We identify a possible theme for this season’s episodes, separate from the story arc. Jason recalls previous Steven Moffat series. And Danny Pink and The Doctor both appreciate the importance of a toy soldier who doesn’t carry a gun. Want only The Incomparable Network’s Doctor Who-themed episodes? Subscribe to ...
22: Sons of Anarchy S7E1 review: "Black Widower"
September 11, 2014 08:23 - 28 minutes - 11 MBRecapping FX's "Sons of Anarchy," Lisa Schmeiser and Philip Mozolak ride into the season premiere episode to find out what havoc the MC has been through the last 10 days.

21: Doctor Who S8E3 review: "Robot of Sherwood"
September 07, 2014 03:58 - 42 minutes - 19.5 MBThe Doctor finally meets Robin Hood, and refuses to acknowledge his existence! What does this say about the Doctor’s view of himself and his own story? We talk about Mark Gatiss’s “Robot of Sherwood.” Yet another fantastic Capaldi performance with crackling dialogue. Jack Kirby robots! Spoon duels! Gallimaufry! Gold arrows! David Loehr and Dan Moren join Jason Snell to break it all down. Want only The Incomparable Network’s Doctor Who-themed episodes? Subscribe to this feed: http://feeds.t...
20: Doctor Who S8E2 review: "Into the Dalek"
August 31, 2014 01:19 - 46 minutes - 21.6 MBWarm up your shrink ray and join us as we journey inside a Dalek! Jason is joined by our very own Glasgow Correspondent, James Thomson, to analyze this week’s Dalek-themed episode. Soldiers named Pink and Blue! Is the Doctor a good man, or a good Dalek? And what did you expect to happen when you “fixed” a good Dalek, anyway? Want only The Incomparable Network’s Doctor Who-themed episodes?

19: Doctor Who S8E1 review: "Deep Breath"
August 24, 2014 04:00 - 48 minutesWe kick off our weekly look at this season of Doctor Who with a larger-than-usual panel for this larger-than-usual episode. Praise for Peter Capaldi! Condemnation for the clockwork droids plot and the extremely weird skin balloon! We also attempt to define the challenges in regeneration episodes in general, and compare and contrast with some of the most recent representatives.

18: Game of Thrones S4E10 review: "The Children"
June 16, 2014 05:38 - 1 hour - 35.5 MBHappy Father’s Day, Tywin Lannister! Erstwhile co-host Brian Hamilton joins Monty and Jason to talk about this final episode of “Game of Thrones” season 4, where there are a whole lot of familial relationships to consider. We discuss Jon’s final parting with Ygritte, the Jamie-Cersei-Tyrion sibling triangle, the Arya-Brienne-Hound swordy triangle (sorry, Podrick), those flame-throwing “children” in the snow with Bran, and of course Tyrion’s attempt to seriously resolve his daddy issues. Plus,...
17: Game of Thrones S4E9 review: "The Watchers on the Wall"
June 09, 2014 06:04 - 36 minutes - 17 MBThis week, one setting! One massive battle! Death, blood, giants, snow, wildings, and Jon Snow! Monty and Jason talk about the failed institution of the Night’s Watch, which seems odd since many of them were very brave and they didn’t all die. But still, you’ve got to admit, the organization has seen better days. Also, who knew that Castle Black had a Panic Room?
16: Game of Thrones S4E8 review: "The Mountain and the Viper"
June 02, 2014 05:00 - 35 minutes - 16.5 MBThere’s a lot of hopping around in this episode, but with a couple of possible exceptions, it’s all good. In the far east, a eunuch and a topless handmaiden meet creepy, and a really old pardon causes serious problems for Jorah. At the Wall, we learn that Molestown is one classy place, and Sam feels extra bad about leaving Gilly there. In the North, there’s a touching family moment under a Flayed Man banner that gives us even more name confusion than usual for Westeros. Sansa becomes a real w...
15: Game of Thrones S4E7 review: "Mockingbird"
May 19, 2014 06:01 - 37 minutes - 17.4 MBThis episode feels more like the regular episodes of past seasons — neither a full-blown “event” episode, nor a pure “table setting” episode. Instead, we get lots of great scenes with great sets of characters, including Arya and the Hound, Brienne and Podrick, and Tyrion and a succession of visitors. Plus, much more of Sansa and Littlefinger in Crazytown Aerie and a surprise appearance by Westeros’ finest pie maker! We’re not sure if there’s an actual mockingbird, though. (Thanks to listener...
14: Game of Thrones S4E6 review: "The Laws of Gods and Men"
May 12, 2014 05:07 - 25 minutes - 23.7 MBCourtroom drama comes to Westeros, as Daenerys issues decrees in Meereen and Tyrion’s regicide trial begins. There are some brief detours to Braavos for Bank Loan Drama and the Dreadfort for Failed Rescue Drama, but it’s Tyrion’s trial that dominates the episode. Monty Ashley and Brian Hamilton render their judgements. Maybe it should be “The Laws of Gods and Men and Monty and Brian.” (No, it probably shouldn’t)
13: Game of Thrones S4E5 review: "First of His Name"
May 05, 2014 05:23 - 26 minutes - 24.4 MBJon nearly meets up with Bran! Daenerys strongly considers coming to Westeros before deciding to stay in Meereen! Most of the other people never even come close to seeing each other, but it’s still more crossover than most episodes get. As Tommen becomes King of Westeros, Monty Ashley and Brian Hamilton review an episode that contains the least secretive co-conspirator ever.
12: Game of Thrones S4E4 review: "Oathkeeper"
April 28, 2014 05:40 - 32 minutes - 17.4 MBThis episode of “Game of Thrones” had it all: prisons, swords, white walkers, and people drinking from skulls. That’s all of the things, right? Monty Ashley and Brian Hamilton break down the fourth episode of season four as they check in on Daenerys’s shockingly efficient methods for capturing cities, Jaime Lannister’s shifting allegiances, and the aforementioned skull-drinking.
11: Game of Thrones S4E3 review: "Breaker of Chains"
April 21, 2014 05:46 - 25 minutes - 12.2 MBAfter the shocking death scenes of last week, this week “Game of Thrones” settled down a bit. Monty Ashley and Jason Snell talk you through episode three, including Stannis Baratheon’s nifty table and the cold cunning of Tywin Lannister and Olenna Tyrell. Plus, how can you make incest even ickier? By doing it in a church next to the dead body of your child! Yeah, that’s the spirit, Lannisters!
10: Game of Thrones S4E2: "The Lion and the Rose"
April 14, 2014 06:02 - 29 minutes - 14 MBMonty Ashley and Jason Snell talk about episode two of “Game of Thrones” season 4. Let’s be honest, there’s only one scene here that everyone will be talking about after viewing: The scene where Melisandre talks to Stannis’s daughter about religion. Oh, also Joffrey gets married and other stuff happens. He’s a bit of a bridezilla.
9: Tim Goodman on Stephen Colbert
April 10, 2014 22:59 - 23 minutes - 10.8 MBThe Hollywood Reporter’s Tim Goodman joins Jason Snell to talk about CBS hiring Stephen Colbert to replace David Letterman on “Late Show.” Read Tim’s analysis, Why Stephen Colbert Is the Perfect David Letterman Replacement. Also we mention Aisha Tyler and Chris Hardwick. Earlier: Our reaction to Letterman’s retirement.
8: Game of Thrones S4E1: "Two Swords"
April 07, 2014 05:03 - 36 minutes - 16.9 MBMonty Ashley and Jason Snell talk about the “Game of Thrones” season 4 premiere. We count swords, praise Natalie Dormer, and generally try to remember exactly who is who and what they’re doing now that we’re back at the start of a new season. Also, we complain about the mixing of chicken-related metaphors. And don’t miss Monty’s piece about “Game of Thrones” in The Guardian.
7: We'll Costas This
April 04, 2014 03:52 - 49 minutes - 22.8 MBWe react to David Letterman announcing his retirement and speculate about where late-night comedy goes from here. Also, why are we all wearing togas?
6: The Oscars
February 26, 2007 20:03 - 34 minutes - 7.98 MBDissecting the Oscars with Philip Michaels, Lisa Schmeiser, and Jason Snell. Our podcast doesn’t run as long as the Oscarcast, but it’ll feel like it!
5: The Autumn Wind is a Raider
January 31, 2007 20:02 - 24 minutes - 8.59 MBIt’s Super Bowl week, and Vidiots Jason Snell and Philip Michaels are here to talk about NFL Network, NFL Films, Super Bowl commercials, and the question of what show best fits in the post-Super Bowl time slot. Oh, and the autumn wind is a raider, pillaging just for fun.
4: Playing With My Wii
November 26, 2006 20:00 - 40 minutes - 9.3 MBAnd we’re back with another podcast. This one features incisive analysis of Nintendo’s new Wii console from Steve Lutz, as well as a roundtable discussion of the aftermath of the new fall season from Jason Snell, Philip Michaels, and Lisa Schmeiser.
3: Michael J. Nelson
October 04, 2006 18:58 - 27 minutes - 6.32 MBThe prodigal podcast returns, featuring Vidiot Steve Lutz’s exclusive interview with Michael J. Nelson, formerly of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and now of RiffTrax. (Steve wrote about RiffTrax on TeeVee in August.)
2: TeeVee Podcast 2
August 27, 2006 17:08 - 31 minutes - 7.29 MBSteve Lutz on the merits of watching and skipping commercials; Six Angry Vidiots discuss the Emmys, the new fall season, TV on DVD, “Rescue Me,” “The Amazing Race,” and… Angela Lansbury?
1: TeeVee Podcast Pilot
July 30, 2006 17:50 - 36 minutes - 8.33 MBLet the bandwidth charges begin! TeeVee’s inaugural podcast is just as shaky and uncomfortable as any pilot episode. It stars Philip Michaels, Lisa Schmeiser, and Jason Snell — one of whom will likely be replaced by Heather Locklear if the podcast gets picked up as a series. This episode’s topics include: “Miami Vice” and other TV shows destined to be lousy movies; Steve Carell reads TV critics the collected works of Pete Ko; Vidiots share beefs about “Monk,” “Rock Star,” and “Without a Trac...
