Show Notes
Tom, Brian, and Amos wrap up their Get Smart watch with The Nude Bomb, a movie that leaves much of the original series behind but delivers practical stunts, ridiculous gadgets, and an extended detour through vintage Universal Studios. Brian finds unexpected charm—and plenty of parallels to Austin Powers—while Tom thinks a tighter edit would help considerably. Amos goes in blind and comes away entertained, as the discussion explores how a poorly reviewed movie can still be a surprisingly good time.
Next week: Battlestar Galactica (101 - "Saga of a Star World")

Tom and Brian close out Battlestar Galactica with a daring Cylon raid and a signal from Earth that nobody sticks around to hear. They debate the finale’s unfinished business, admire a suspiciously familiar miniature, and decide “The Hand of God” makes their four-episode experiment feel complete.
Xbox wants a bigger role in Hollywood, but how much control should game makers have over their screen adaptations? Tom and Brian discuss Xbox’s new XP division, a Cyberpunk movie, streaming’s expanding live-event lineup, and Apple’s $299 TV box.
Tom and Brian land among unicorns, scheming Cylons, and a castle full of chanting kids in Battlestar Galactica’s lowest-rated episode, “The Young Lords.” Brian is delighted by the gloriously silly detour, while Tom’s goodwill runs out when the singing starts.
