This Dragonfly Ripple rerun isn't a full episode. The behind-the-scenes details are lost ten years later, but for whatever reason, we must have been running behind getting the fourth episode done. Happily, Carlin and Dashiell came through with this short installment of "Jetpack Tiger".

Evan, Pax, Rob, and Michael chat about who's been a Kyle Chandler fan the longest, reading long books, Ride or Die, and the results of our Summer Movie Wager.

Michael and Jess talk about Stephen King's novella, Secret Window, Secret Garden, the second story in the Four Past Midnight collection. They also talk briefly about the other three novellas in the collection and quite a bit more about the 2004 movie adaptation Secret Window starring Johnny Depp, John Turturro, Maria Bello, Charles S Dutton, and Timothy Hutton.

In this rerun episode of Dragonfly Ripple: Bringing Up the Next Generation of Nerd, Michael and Carlin talked to their kids about Westerns… with a twist (or "twisterns").

As Michael, Rob, and Pax travel the slow and gentle road to 2028's Fast Forever, we use the next entry in the series, Fast & Furious Spy Racers, to have a broader discussion about the trend of turning live action movies and TV shows into animated series. We talk about our favorites, then ride for a few episodes specifically with the Spy Racers show, and finish by pitching our own cartoon series based on live action movies.

In this second episode rerunning Carlin Trammel and Michael May's old Dragonfly Ripple podcast that they hosted with their kids, it's the highest of fantasy as Michael and David delve into the animated Hobbit and Lord of the Rings movies while Carlin and Annaliese play some Dungeons & Dragons. This episode also features the debut of Carlin and Dashiell's "Jetpack Tiger" segment with discussion about the Lilo & Stitch movies.

Michael, Evan, Pax and Rob gather again in the lounge to discuss novelty ties, Icelandic pop music, Rooster (some more), Punisher movies, and our favorite comfort meals and TV episodes.

Continuing our quest to determine the greatest spaceship of all time, Michael and Rob welcome Jeeg and John "Engineernerd" Vanover back to the show to talk about medium-sized ships. Be sure to check out Episode 426 where we determined the best Large Spaceship and stay tuned for future episodes in which we settle the best Small Spaceship and then take the Final Fours from each category to figure out the ultimate winner of any size.

Rob, Michael, Evan, and Pax talk about Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Rooster, Marion by Leah Rowan, murder mystery plays, and so much more.

A long book deserves a long conversation and Michael and Jess are here to provide one. We're talking about Stephen King's It: the good, the bad, and the head-scratching.

Michael, Rob, and Pax continue their journey through the Predator movies - and officially add the Alien movies to the project - with Paul WS Anderson's Alien vs Predator, starring Sanaa Lathan, Lance Henriksen, and Raoul Bova.
