Join Lily, Shawn, and Scott as they sit down for a bonus episode of Hitting Play to discuss some notable movies premiering in the summer of 2015. Listen to their takes on, and expectations of, what looks to be a very eventful summer for moviegoers. From Marvel Comics to Disney theme parks to assigned high school summer reading novels, these movies cover it all. Find out why dinosaur cloning is always a bad idea, how fat Nick Nolte feels about mountain hiking, and why Judy Greer was Hollywood's hardest working actress this year.
Movies discussed: Pitch Perfect 2, Tomorrowland, Ant Man, A Walk in the Woods, Jurassic World, and Fantastic Four. (Plus, Shawn had a few strong opinions on Inside Out and Vacation.)

Join Lily, Shawn, Scott, and a special guest, Shawn's brother Dan, as they breakdown the first episode of the 1960's Japanese animated export: Gigantor! Listen as they discuss its origins in manga, Dan's childhood fondness of it, its transformation from a popular anime to a confusing "westernized" cartoon, and its multitudinous array of hilarious flaws. Can Gigantor think for himself? Why is only Jimmy allowed to wield such great power? Does hot water freeze faster? They'll take on all of these questions, and many more. Gigantor! Gigantor! Gigaaa-aaa-aaan-torrr!

Join Lily, Scott, as they're joined by special guest Jaron (AKA Bonnaventure James, the great electronic musician from Calgary, Alberta) to breakdown Phantasms, the strange episode from the seventh season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Listen as they discuss the imagery of Data's nightmares, the convenience of his many abilities, and why you should never buy your engine parts from Thanatos VII. Not to mention all of the delicious cellular peptide cake talk! This is a special one, but as Freud once said, "Sometimes a podcast is just a podcast."

Join Lily, Shawn, and Scott, live from their respective underground bunkers, as they review the first episode of the hilarious Tina Fey and Robert Carlock Netflix original series: Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt! Listen as they discuss its many connections to 30 Rock, its mind warping joke density, and how Ellie Kemper is perfect for this role. How did Netflix get their hands on this? How did it differ from the original script? What's a Tamagotchi? We talk about it! It's a miracle!

Join Lily, Shawn, and Scott as they enter the dark and brooding world of everybody's favorite hooded archer: Arrow! Listen as they take you through the history of the Green Arrow in comics, discuss why almost everybody in this show is a terrible person, and explain why this is just The CW's grittty mix of Batman, Robin Hood and My Name is Earl, with a little Hamlet and Harry and the Hendersons thrown in. (Listen and you'll get it.) And, as a bonus, Lily opens a present given to her by Shawn and Scott.
(Disclaimer: There are some very minor Arrow season 1 spoilers. Don't worry, they're brief and you'll know when they're coming.)

Join Lily, Scott, and Shawn as they remember the great Leonard Nimoy and discuss the iconic first episode of Star Trek's second season: Amok Time! Listen as they take you through the story of a lonely Vulcan and his mating urges. They'll explain why Spock is pretty much a giant salmon, how Vulcan courtship is merely reciting Michael Bolton lyrics, and why this whole episode is very awkward. Forget Pon Farr, live long and podcast!
