    <description>Journey into the unknown with Galaxy Brains — the most immersive, hilarious TV and movie podcast on this planet (or any other). Mystery Science Theater 3000's Jonah Ray and his pal, comedian and writer Dave Schilling, explore the outer reaches of the zeitgeist, analyzing the movies and TV shows that you can't stop obsessing over. Each week, we lab-test the hottest take possible — from Dom Toretto being an actual angel sent from Heaven, to the entirety of Seinfeld taking place inside Jerry's mind — and bring on comedians, experts, and filmmakers to confirm or deny our outrageous hypothesis.

      <description>We're going into transwarp speed with a Star Trek extravaganza dedicated to the 25th anniversary of one of the best Trek movies of all time, First Contact. A film that is so much more than Borgs, drunk pilots, and Patrick Stewart's jacked arms- it's also a meta tale about the creation of the iconic franchise. Joining Dave and Jonah where no man has gone before is comedian and fellow Trekkie, John Hodgman.

What do you eat with a gory romp? To answer that question, Dave and Jonah are dining in with Mr. Slice, Mike Mitchell, and the Burger Boy himself, Nick Wiger, of the Dougboys podcast.

      <title>The Green Knight | Can a fantasy movie ever top Dungeons &amp; Dragons?</title>
      <description>A magic fox, nude giants, a conspicuously stained sash, and Dev Patel's deep brown eyes — The Green Knight has it all. But when it comes to transporting audiences to a fantasy world, Hollywood will always be competing with modern tabletop role-playing. On this episode, we are testing that theory and playing A24’s Green Knight RPG with Polygon's Simone de Rochefort, Josh Rios, and exalted game master Jenna Stoeber.
