"It's more than just space opera on this week's JKL Media Podcast! Explore 'Immolation' with us as we break down the fantastic intertwining narratives of The Expanse. Tune in and share your thoughts! 🌌 #TheExpansePodcast #SciFi"

 In this JKL Media Podcast one-off special, the hosts discuss Canadian progressive rock band Rush, starting with divided reactions to Geddy Lee's voice, then sharing favorite tracks like "Tom Sawyer," "Spirit of Radio," and "Subdivisions." They use the 2010 Rush documentary as a springboard to explore the band's power-trio lineup (Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, Neil Peart), technical musicianship, and reputation as a "musician's band," plus the many celebrity artists featured praising Rush. Karen and Jesse both enjoyed the documentary for its backstory, humor (especially from Alex), and the band's unusually low drama and long friendships, while also noting how Rush's music can be an acquired taste. The conversation touches on Neil Peart's personal tragedies, the need for a documentary "chapter two," and the band's later-era touring with a new drummer.  

Karen, Jesse, and Lou discuss "Pyre" (season 2, episode 8; 18th overall; aired March 15, 2017), calling it a tense, transitional chapter largely set on Tycho. They break down Amos's unsettling behavior and friction with Alex, noting hints tied to a Baltimore connection and a family photo, while Lou avoids spoilers about his larger arc. They highlight Prax's tragic introduction, the loss of refugees, and the shocking spacing of a woman close to him, plus the hopeful clue that his daughter may still be alive and connected to Dr. Strickland. The hosts debate extremist faction tactics, Fred Johnson's eroding credibility, and Drummer's decisive retaliation, and end on concern over a major secret Naomi keeps from Holden about the protomolecule.
