...And, we're back.  No, seriously, we are.  We're sorry for our longest unintended hiatus yet, caused by a combination of competing schedules, a bout of the flu by two co-hosts and their families (Todd's immune system is apparently still working overtime), the holidays, and general life hectic-ness.

Anyway...  While Andruw was busy pinning people to mats for his high school wrestling team (they're called mats, right; I don't know; maybe Andruw can school us on the lingo), Dave and Todd caught up with some general discussion about movies & TV shows they've watched recently.

In this episode, we covered...

 - "Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" in theaters

 - The DC shake-up at Warner Bros.

 - "Guardians of the Galaxy: Holiday Special" on Disney+

 - "The Santa Clauses" TV show on Disney+

 - "She-Hulk: Attorney-At-Law" TV show on Disney+ (and the rest of 2022 MCU on TV)

 - "Andor" TV show on Disney+

 - "Mighty Ducks: Game Changers" TV show on Disney+

 - "Willow" TV show on Disney+

 - "National Treasure: Edge of History" TV show on...checking my notes...oh, you guessed it, Disney+

 - Christmas movies, Christmas-themed episodes of our podcast, and the problem with binging Christmas movies on the Hallmark Channel

 - Podcasts Dave is listening to:  "Monster Hour," "The Crit Show," and "Moriarty"

 - Podcasts Todd is listening to:  "White Rocket Babylon 5 Rewatch Podcast," "Re:Engage" (a Star Trek: TNG rewatch podcast), and "The Grimmcast" (a "Grimm" rewatch podcast co-hosted by three actresses from the show)

 - The new "Quantum Leap" on Disn...nope, NBC (Todd watches via next-day streaming on Peacock)

 - Dave is also rewatching some of the original "Quantum Leap."

 - "The Peripheral" TV show on Amazon Prime

 - "Avenue 5" TV show on Amazon Prime, complete with references to venting poop (the ship in the show venting poop, not one of the co-hosts venting poop)

 - And a few quick, last-minute references to "For All Mankind" on Apple TV+, "The Orville" on Hulu & Disney+, "The Time Travelers Wife" on HBO Max, and "Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power" on Amazon Prime

 - Being ready for 2022 to be over

 - At least four topics we know we've got coming up:  a review of "Rollerball" (a Dave Teague pick that's still on the list), Favorite SF/F/Horror Single-Episode TV Stories, Favorite SF/F/Horror TV Seasons, and 2022 Year In Review

 - A plug for our spin-off podcast -- "The Discerning Lurkers Portal: A Babylon 5 Podcast" (two more episodes are recorded and will be edited...soon-ish)

 - A plug for some episodes of this podcast having been re-uploaded with slightly improved audio quality (usually occurring on or near the one or two year anniversary of each original episode)

Again, sorry for the schedule conflicts and other issues that kept us from doing more recently, including some Christmas themed episodes.  We still hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and that a very Happy New Year is ahead.  :)
