We have no Trump indictment today, but there's other news and thoughts to share.  Fran saw the Barbie movie, and Driftglass stayed home and did laundry (really).  Driftglass remembers attending Netroots Nation 2011 and some uninvited guests also were there.  More at proleftpod.com.  Listen on YouTube (Chromecast) Support the show:PayPal |  https://paypal.me/proleftpodcastPatreon | https://patreon.com/proleftpodSupport the show

Driftglass took Blue Gal to see Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part 1 for her birthday. During the movie, Driftglass noticed many plot points that connect this blockbuster to William Gibson's 1984 novel, "Neuromancer." So we did a podcast about it.  (No Fair Remembering Stuff returns next week.) More at proleftpod.com. Support the show

It's Blue Gal's Birthday this weekend!  We discuss the House Oversight Committee's latest fail (a Chinese spy on the lam, really?), No Labels and their Magic Pixie Dream Party, and Driftglass can't guess the author of a national newspaper editorial that actually mentioned "the heartland."  More at proleftpod.com.

Multiversal success and failure.  Success?   Star Trek TOS episode "Mirror, Mirror," and the 2017 Starz series, "Counterpart."  Failure?  It pains Driftglass to say it, but Robert Heinlein's "The Number of the Beast" is well-known as a massive fail in the multiverse and just plain science fiction novel genre.  (The Heinlein novel has some sexual situations that are discussed in this episode.)  And you can hear Patton Oswalt's magnificent Parks and Rec filibuster concerning "multiverses" here. More at sciencefictionuniversity.com.

We're back!  After a huge storm and subsequent six-day power outage.  We discuss the ordeal and then cuss out the so-called Supreme Court.   And Driftglass likens the motivations of Hulu's "The Bear" to... the New York Times editorial page?  More at proleftpod.com.Link for this episode:  Blue Gal writes about WinRed.Listen on YouTube (Chromecast) Support the show:PayPal |  https://paypal.me/proleftpodcastPatreon | https://patreon.com/proleftpodSupport the show
