About This Episode

To Infinity and… Nowhere? In the sixth Now Playing Intermission, Arnie, Stuart, Justin, and Jason debate Disney’s new “Infinity Vision” branding and whether it promises a premium theatrical experience or is merely marketing dressed up as innovation.

But first, Arnie and Justin unveil StubBook, their independent new platform for logging movies, television, and the memories attached to them. The hosts also tackle the hidden complexities of mahjong, the joys of collecting vintage movie novelizations, and the triumphs and third-degree burns of 3D printing.

Then longtime listener and patron Corey joins from Australia to test his Marvel knowledge against Arnie’s Impossible Trivia—and challenges the hosts with a killer Tom Hanks question of his own.
