Buckle up, Whovians—it’s time to talk about the biggest question in the universe: What now?

This week, we’re on a second contact mission, revisiting Star Trek: Enterprise Season 3, Episode 3 “Extinction,” now that Jamie and Maria have watched it and inexplicably enjoyed this very weird episode where a bunch of members of the Enterprise were turned into ape-like aliens. We’re also joined once again by guest Stephen Granade this week. 

Special thanks to Topher and Bee Brookshire who answered all of our very silly science questions about this episode (psst you should read Bee’s book Pests: How Humans Create Animal Villains). 

A word of warning: If you haven’t listened to the episode before this one, “People Say We Monkey Around!,” go listen to that first because this is a follow up to last week.

Twins. A juke joint. A blues prodigy. And something very hungry waiting in the Mississippi Delta. Tea, Karen and Lysa are diving deep into Ryan Coogler’s Sinners , the 2025 horror film that took the world by storm. They cover the rich folklore that opens the film, the music that earned every single one of its awards, the characters that felt achingly real, the stunning visuals that left no stone unturned, and what it all means when horror is brave enough to hold up a mirror to the world.

The legendary Paul McCartney has a very busy time lately, with a new album (The Boys of Dungeon Lane), appearances on Saturday Night Live and the final Stephen Colbert show, a new exhibition at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and a recent book and documentary. Rob and Alan talk all about McCartney’s goings on and review the new album, and get a little melancholy about aging and memory. 

First, though, we talk about Sonny Rollins, who passed away on May 25, 2026.

The post Legends of the DCU Episode 10 (Legacy #449) – Long Live the King appeared first on The ESO Network.

The world was stunned in 2021 when Disney announced that it would continue the popular series of X-Men: The Animated Series with X-Men ’97. The decision came in the aftermath of huge streaming numbers for the original animated show on Disney+. Realizing that there was a market for a continuation, Disney decided to create a series as if it were being made in 1997 and was the next season for the original X-Men show. In this episode we discuss the first season of X-Men ’97. We discuss the various aspects of the plot and how that feels as a continuation of the original series and how it works to develop themes that resonate today. We talk about the vocal performances, music, and art style and whether or not those live up to our expectations of the original animated show. We also debate MCU tie-ins, Captain America’s position, Rogue’s relationships, and the depictions of various characters.

The five-minute controversy this weeks asks if we think that it’s wise for Disney to make a deal with Seven Bucks Productions after Dwayne Johnson has been such a toxic influence in Hollywood lately.

This week Beth, Mike, and Eric join the cast.
