The crew pick up a new friend, or so they think, until everyone starts acting even stranger than usual. Oh dear, it looks like they've got another critter. Josh and Sara are joined by new guest Ron of Just a Lil Guy Podcast.

At long last, John has really made it home to Earth, but is Earth home anymore? Ren joins Josh and Sara to discuss one of the absolute best episodes of Farscape, possibly among the best Sci-Fi episodes ever.
Crichton finally made it home; the only problem is he's arrived before he left, 15 years before he left to be exact. He goofed up and now he and his friends have to fix the timeline, but as usual nothing goes as planned.
It's time for a lore dump as John meets another godlike alien for a lesson in wormhole theory for dummies. Sara and Josh are joined by Aranock to discuss this episode as well as a look at Farscape's representation of mental illness.
We're back with the second half of our deep dive into arguably the most problematic episode of Farscape. This time Zylla teaches us some background on the antisemitic tropes the doctor falls into. We also cover the chaser and SA jokes as well as more gender stuff.

Episode 4.10 Coup by Clam
04 Apr 2025
01:09:15
There's no denying it, this episode is both bad and offensive in so many ways. There is a LOT to unpack, so much that it won't fit in one episode, so enjoy part one of our discussion with returning guest Zylla.

Come out to the Uncharted Territories; we'll have a few laughs, team up with the enemy and rescue our tiny friends. Yes folks, it's Die Hard with a Shrink Ray as John takes on a group of bounty hunters, one of whom may be more than he seems.
We have a new guest for this one, from Five by Five Takes it's our friend Sara.
Farscape goes down a rabbit hole as John and Chiana get a little too caught up in a virtual game. Ren joins Josh and Sara for all the high jinks plus some listener comments.
They were wandering through the wormhole district of the Uncharted Territories when suddenly and without warning there was a total eclipse of the stars. It got very dark and when they looked around there was a weird plant all over Moya.

29 Nov 2024

CW: Discussion of Sexual Assault.
John and friends reunion is interrupted by a murder mystery which is interrupted by an uncomfortable Poison Ivy trope all wrapped up in an Indiana Jones/Creature from the Black Lagoon mashup. If you're confused, don't worry so are we. Zylla, our resident Ancient Studies geek, joins us in our confusion.

Starting season 4 off with a blast or 3. We have a new Leviathan, a new bratty alien, some Klingons, and one very special DRD. Mainely Mandy joins Josh and Sara to get this party started.
Heads we cry, tails this episode breaks our hearts. The crew are trying to bury Talyn as John tries to find a future in his rapidly collapsing dreams; there is a parting of ways and a surprising revelation. It's season finale time and Oddnon joins us for a leviathan funeral.

It's time for the season climax as John and the crew board Scorpi's command carrier with nefarious intentions. This episode has everything, operatic drama, ex-girlfriends, homoerotic tension, redemptions, oh and a guy with a funky looking arm axe. Zylla joins Josh and Sara to unpack it all.

20 Sep 2024

It's time for another trip to Oz on another Farscape adjacent episode, this time the 1980s nightmare fuel that is Return to Oz. Zylla and Mainely Mandy join Sara for a rambling discussion about childhood and mental health issues and so much more. CW that even if the movie is for kids, this discussion is not.

Muppets From Space
31 May 2024

Are you ready for some tragic villain backstory? John isn't but he's going to get it anyway because Scorpi is in a sharing mood. Heavy content warning on this one folks, SA, child abuse, ableism, body horror, just all the things. There's a lot to discuss and Oddnon joins Sara and Josh for all of it.

09 Feb 2024

How would you like an old-fashioned screwball romantic comedy, with misunderstandings, miscommunications, a little mortal peril, a petulant teenage spaceship, and several varieties of vomit? Just classic romcom stuff. Mainely Mandy joins Josh and Sara to gush about all of it.

02:36:55
Merry Christmas Poppets It's time for our annual Christmas special. Josh couldn't make it this time, but Ren and Oddnon have joined Sara to react to the classic It's a Wonderful Life. Don't worry there's plenty of time to cue up your own copy, get some hot chocolate and watch with us.
You've got parental issues! and you've got parental issues! even the ships have parental issues! We're doing Shakespearian family drama on planet Bladerunner where our crew are just trying to buy some ship tylenol
Double your trauma, Double your John! Okay maybe this isn't how you sell gum, but oh boy it is how you make a hell of an episode of Farscape. Josh and Sara are joined by Twitch streamer and comics writer Oddnon, as we look at Farscape's most Hammer Horror episode.

01:19:48
Moya's crew visit a peace memorial and are pulled back in time and caught up in a terrible war. Josh and Sara are joined by Zylla for a deep discussion of war and conflict, fictional and real, past and all too present. It's a difficult discussion but we found it cathartic.

Episode 3.3/4 Self-Inflicted Wounds
10 Nov 2023
00:58:16
Why is it that the gentlest souls pay the price for other people's ambitions? This two-part episode pushes John to consider whether lives matter more than science, but it is not him who makes the choice to sacrifice all. Josh and Sara are joined by Terri of Pink Dumbbell Problem to bid farewell to the much-loved Zhaan.
Suicidal solar storm-summoning emo chicks are a sideshow compared to the sturm and drung in the final movement of the Chiago waltz. It's just Sara and Josh on this one as we look at how they ended this torturous triangle.
To all things there is a season, but it is not yet the time to die. This episode sees John regain his speech and his own mind. Not only that, but Aeryn is gifted new life through mindmeldy lesbian plant sex. Farscape is weird.
In this first episode of the new season, Josh and Sara are joined by Ren the Barbarian. Next episode's guest will be Foreign Man in a Foreign Land (https://www.youtube.com/@ForeignManinaForeignLand)
Well that's the end of another season and so we're taking some time to look back at the highlights and review our characters' journeys. Season three will start soon and sadly there will be a few changes.

The ship has a doctor's appointment, how wrong can things go? Well when your main character spontaneously develops an English accent, something is definitely off. This week Jack, Josh, and Sara are joined by long-time Farscape fan Mandy of the Respect the Dead podcast as we discuss Farscape's heartrending season 2 finale.
Episode 2.21 Liars, Guns, and Money; part 3 Plan B
25 Aug 2023
01:16:10
John gets acquainted with the evilest exercise ball, Dargo meets Mr. Sparky, and Natira catches someone's eye. It's time to finish up Liars, Guns, and Money with some big damn heroics. Jack, Josh, and Sara are here to discuss all of it.
Episode 2.20 Liars, Guns, and Money; part 2 With Friends Like These
11 Aug 2023
01:28:41
With Dargo's son in Scorpius's hands, the crew gather a crack team of mercenaries from their previous adventures. But what are they to do when the money from their heist starts eating the ship. Join Jack, Josh, and Sara for the middle chapter of Farscape's heist trilogy.

Episode 2.19 Liars, Guns, and Money; A Not So Simple Plan
28 Jul 2023
01:07:35
The crew of Moya are planning a bank robbery, but what could go wrong? Well, basically everything. Jack, Josh, and Sara settle in for a good old-fashioned heist episode with oh-so many twists.
CW; discussion of STDs, AIDS, queerphobia, transphobia, conversion therapy
Aeryn takes a trip to Stepford, Dargo gets weepy, Rygel plays with electricity, and Chiana breaks our hearts. This episode is a very Farscapian balancing act between humor and pathos. Jack, Josh, and Sara are loving all of it.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that every television show in possession of sci-fi premise, must be in want of a Rashomon episode. How about one with a little good cop/bad cop? or rather bad cop/worse cop. Farscape gives us its version of both with some neat character stuff and very cool design work.
Once upon a time a girl flew off into a mist and came back an old lady, her lover followed her and he too became old. A blue mage joined with a magic boy to learn the truth of a ship trapped in time. They all traveled backwards to return to their old young selves.
It's a beautiful fairytale of an episode, so let's talk about it.
Who's ready for a trip to Oz? Well certainly a trip of some kind. Farscape takes us deep, maybe too deep into John's mind as he tries to keep from losing it entirely. And at the center of all the wildness is a big gooey center of exposition that might just change everything. Jack, Josh, and Sara are ready to talk about all of it.
Is it a pet, parasite, or secret third thing? The crew of Moya have a new friend or maybe friend. And what is going on with John? Jack, Josh, and Sara are ready to get into this very twisty, super atmospheric episode.
