This week, we delve into some fascinating sciences news, including mysterious ocean sounds explained and breakthroughs in anti-aging!

Then Jarman poses some very unique questions to Steve in our new segment, "Hypothetical Hubub," based off the series of questions by Chuck Klosterman - Some really weird stuff to get you thinking. 

In our feature we delve into the Marvel Universe again, this time focusing solely on the lovely X-Men. WHY IS THERE SO MUCH WOLVERINE?! Steve challenges Jarman and you all to "Name That Power!" where he gives the names of some more... obscure mutants from the Marvel universe, and we have to guess what powers they could possibly have. I seriously feel sorry for some of these mutants. They're just lame. We also pose a question to you, the listeners, to answer, as well as a trivia question: The first listener to respond to it gets a prize!

Poseidon Rex: The derpiest of CGI dinosaurs.

Finally, we have more trailer reviews! This time, X-Men: Days of Future Past (How appropriate right? It's like we planned that or something), Jesse Eisenberg in The Double, and the cinematic masterpiece, and no doubt Oscar contender, Poseidon Rex!!!

This week the resident nerds Jarman and Steve play with some sparkly new segments along with some "old" ones. First we throw you a couple topics from our grab bag of Nerdy News, then we share a bit of Cat Commiseration with you, where we vent about the tortured life that we share with those monsters of cuteness, our cats. Then we delve into Copy Cat Cinema once again with two "disastrous" films, Armageddon and Deep Impact. Which version of the eastern seaboard getting destroyed do you prefer? Find out what we think. Then we get another dose of Brooklyn Indie Band or Smut Search followed by Jarman's Preternatural Penetration (SO DIRTY!) where Steve tries to poke holes in some of Jarman's favorite paranormal cases. The whole episode is topped off with a healthy dose of trailer reviews, including Alien Abduction, Earth to Echo, and Guardians of the Galaxy!

Lil Bub sees what you did there. He does not appreciate your slander.
