In a shortened podcast, there is a brief discussion of Flash Gordon, basically saying that every incarnation of Flash Gordon has been a complete twist of the original and even the original was kind of lame - so there isn't any reason to complain about the new Flash Gordon because Flash is meant to be a hero of the time, not a timeless hero. I mention Umberto Eco's book The Mysterious Flame of Queen Loana which isn't directly sci-fi but does allow the main character to be strongly influence by science fiction.
Also there is a brief chat about the proton pack from Ghostbusters and the Best of the Week referred to a certain actress in the new Indiana Jones movie. The link to that behind the scenes video is right here.
