Episode 250 - Big Mike

[Mike]

It’s the 250th episode Nerd Pride Spectaculathon! Okay, that’s a bit much… it’s an extra-long episode to celebrate 250! First up is one of the longest works of fiction ever--a Smash Bros Fanfic! Then a new segment called Five Clicks where Mike works his way through Wikipedia from a random starting point: bananas, kids cartoons, Isaac Asimov, and Latex bodysuits all help make up the links of this chain. As promised, Mike takes up an analysis of the ancient play Medea as inspiration for Fatal Attraction. Double movie reviews of I, Tonya and Jupiter Ascending. And finally, on Word of Mouth, Mike raves about the podcast Levar Burton Reads. But that’s not all! All this nerdy goodness is topped off with a half-dozen all-new, listener-submitted entries from the Pod-O-Matic as well as an extra-long, extra-philosophical installment of Listener Betrayal. Seven-and-a-half years in and one-quarter of the way to some big number… dive in and help us celebrate episode 250! You won’t regret it!

Enjoy!

Oooooooh I can't wait to listen to this one - I'm hoping this is my Friday evening entertainment!

I like the new segment. Call it Five Links and then play some Zelda sounds. Or call it Five Elements and then have a quote from Ruby Rhod.

Omigod, Korben Dallas! You know how I love Ruby Rhod!

Five Links makes more sense though. You're good at this game.

That is so cool!
