The Glenn Butler Podcast Hour Spectacular, Episode 6: Re-Opening the X-Files

The truth is still out there, and The Glenn Butler Podcast Hour Spectacular is all over the return of The X-Files in pursuit of it. Glenn & Scott welcome special guest Andy Halleen to the podcast to talk about some of their favorite episodes & moments over the course of The X-Files‘
long run, the way that the first two episodes of the new miniseries
reintroduce both the larger mythology and case-of-the-week styles of the
series, Gillian Anderson having to hold out for equal pay, the
relationship between real-world conspiracy theories and TV conspiracy
theories, and AD Skinner’s stalled career.

The Glenn Butler Podcast Hour Spectacular, Episode 5: Despair on the Eve of Iowa

With the long hard slog of the US presidential campaign slogging along,
The Glenn Butler Podcast Hour Spectacular is back with a despairing and
at times contemptuous look at all of the people who for some reason are
still running for President on the eve of the Iowa caucus. Then,
considering the ascendancy of Donald Trump, Glenn & Scott
contemplate other WWE Hall of Famers who might make better Presidents of
the United States. Finally, there’s a brief look at the 2016 US Senate
race in Connecticut and the idea of Linda McMahon joining the fray once
again.

The Glenn Butler Podcast Hour Spectacular, Episode 4: Didn’t We Already Talk About Star Wars?

In a blockbuster new episode of The Glenn Butler Podcast Hour
Spectacular, Glenn & Scott are joined by special guest and friend of
the show Alanna Kelly to dive just a little deeper into Star Wars: The Force Awakens than the last episode did. The three discuss their histories of Star Wars
fandom and expectations going into Episode VII before getting into the
marketing of this new movie as a return to the old and beloved tropes of
Star Wars, as well as the development of the new characters,
including their motivations and costuming (are you on #TeamCape?). Glenn
accidentally winds up engaging in a little more prequel apologia than
expected, Scott shares a story about an Empire Strikes Back bootleg video tape, and hosts & guest alike desperately try to remember Alfred Molina’s name.
After the break, Glenn, Scott, and Alanna examine the aesthetic construction of The Force Awakens, the Star Wars
universe’s newfound diversity, and how this film fits in JJ Abrams’
career. The show closes with a new segment on various other media the
participants have been consuming lately, including Another Round and extensive discussions about the recent Sherlock special and season two of the Serial podcast.
