Still Untitled: The Adam Savage Project

After Parasite's big night at the Academy Awards, we talk about all the winners, surprises, and trends we saw from the celebration of this past year of movies (and love for South Korean cinema!). Plus, Norm returns from Walt Disney World, Adam recommends a book on the Wright Brothers, and we tease projects to come!

Now that the robot dog is out of the bag, we can talk about Spot, Boston Dynamics' robot that's living in Adam's shop this year. We discuss how Spot operates, how people react to it, and tease some project ideas we have for it. Plus, it's finally time to dive into a discussion about Bong Joon-ho's Parasite! Spoilers toward the end of the episode!

Adam and Will return from a weekend away at ORD Camp, an annual gathering of curious folks from different walks of life to share ideas and learn uniquely interesting topics ranging from taxidermy, spacesuit design, and juggling. Let's hear some of their highlights from this unconference!

Adam reflects on the life and recent passing of his dog Huxley and we share stories of our pets. It's also the season of San Francisco's Sketchfest, and we catch ourselves coincidentally in the same place of a random West Wing rewatch. Give your pets an extra hug tonight, everyone!

Very special guest Mark Rober joins us this week on the podcast, talking about his upcoming new show Revenge of the Nerd and the process of developing big ideas for his YouTube channel. Mark teases a preview of one of his upcoming videos, and geeks out with Adam over engineering solutions to deceptively-complex problems.

Happy new year! Back in the cave after a week off, we catch up on what we did to celebrate the holidays and ring in 2020. Adam shares the saga of his stolen Land Cruiser and the adventure in recovering it. Plus, we talk about the plethora of films we enjoyed over the break, including Uncut Gems, Jojo Rabbit, Little Women, 1917, and Hustlers!

Happy Christmas eve, everyone! On our final episode of Still Untitled for the year, we had to discuss Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker! Adam and Will had just come back to the cave after watching it, so their impressions are fresh. Suffice to say, we go into full spoilers for this conversation!

One week before Christmas! We gather to remember the work of Muppeteer Carroll Spinney and the warmth and kindness he brought to Big Bird. It's also the day after we've seen the Watchmen finale, so we dive into the themes of the series and how we reacted to the final episode. Spoiler-free discussion comes first, and then full spoilers within!

When are the best days to visit museums without big crowds? We discuss our strategies to go to attractions during the holidays, talk Dickens Fair, and gush over a recent build. Plus, we also decide on the spot to jump into a mini-Spoilercast for the most recent few episodes of Watchmen. Skip the end if you haven't seen the show yet!

The cave is cold so Adam puts on his Deckard coat as we recount our Thanksgiving stories with guest Jen Schachter! We chat about some favorite things to do in San Francisco, recent shows we're enjoying, and two thoroughly enjoyable builds that Adam commenced this past week!
