Galaxy Brains

Journey into the unknown with Galaxy Brains — the most immersive, hilarious TV and movie podcast on this planet (or any other). Mystery Science Theater 3000's Jonah Ray and his pal, comedian and writer Dave Schilling, explore the outer reaches of the zeitgeist, analyzing the movies and TV shows that you can't stop obsessing over. Each week, we lab-test the hottest take possible — from Dom Toretto being an actual angel sent from Heaven, to the entirety of Seinfeld taking place inside Jerry's mind — and bring on comedians, experts, and filmmakers to confirm or deny our outrageous hypothesis. From Polygon and the Vox Media Podcast Network.

Episodes

Death Becomes Her | a campy satire of Hollywood beauty standards.

Now a warning? It's a head-twistingly good episode as Dave and Jonah dive into the '90s camp classic. Joining them on this satirical romp is none other than Meryl Streep expert and host of the You Must Remember This podcast, Karina Longworth. Want to hear your Galaxy Brain take on our show?

We're gearing up for multiverse madness with a look back at the Spiderman films of yore.

Star Trek: First Contact | A meta movie about Star Trek's creation with John Hodgman

We're going into transwarp speed with a Star Trek extravaganza dedicated to the 25th anniversary of one of the best Trek movies of all time, First Contact. A film that is so much more than Borgs, drunk pilots, and Patrick Stewart's jacked arms- it's also a meta tale about the creation of the iconic franchise. Joining Dave and Jonah where no man has gone before is comedian and fellow Trekkie, John Hodgman. Want to hear your Galaxy Brain take on our show?

We're going straight to the source for this week's episode and crossing streams with Dan Aykroyd. Want to hear your Galaxy Brain take on our show?
