Curbcast is back to tackle Larry David’s 2013 HBO film, Clear History! Dursin and Clay break down this features-length "Curb episode in disguise," starring Jon Hamm, Kate Hudson, Danny McBride, Michael Keaton, and Bill Hader. We dive into the 10% electric car mistake, the Ayn Rand parallels, eye-level outlets, why rags are filthy animals, and the legendary local Boston poker crew. Plus, we debate the intricacies of the "smudge and tooth check," see if we can wrap our heads around seersucker, and see if anyone on Martha's Vineyard actually escaped the wrath of Chicago (the band).

In this freeform edition of League Podcast, Matt Dursin and Clay Ferno hang out in the "I Think This Is Great" studio to talk shop about the overwhelming task of downsizing a comic book collection. Clay opens up about the mental block of cataloging decades of books, while Matt offers up practical advice from his own experience selling on platforms like Mercari and eBay.

The guys also treat viewers to a live unboxing of the Marvel Unlimited Annual Plus member kit. They sort through a treasure trove of Doctor Doom and Fantastic Four-themed collectibles—including an exclusive Jessica Drew Spider-Woman variant action figure, a Retro NASA-inspired Future Foundation patch, and a slightly dinged copy of One World Under Doom #1. Plus, they share their thoughts on the MCU's recent big-screen offerings and marvel at the return of digital comic codes.

The League returns to take on The Nice Guys with Russell Crowe and our crush, Ryan Gosling, and a young lady. A porno young lady. Dursin swears he watched it.

Set in 1970s Los Angeles, The Nice Guys is Shane Black's criminally underrated neo-noir comedy that somehow never got the blockbuster love it deserved. Clay and Dursin break down the buddy dynamic between Crowe's bruiser Jackson Healy and Gosling's gloriously incompetent Holland March — including the falls, the screams, the toilet gun standoff, and every moment Gosling commits so hard to physical comedy that it borders on performance art. They also get into why the film's satirical jabs at the porn industry, the Detroit auto lobby, and Nixon-era corruption still land fifty years later.

Beyond the slapstick and the sleaze, the guys dive deep into the film's cult status and why a proper sequel to this masterpiece remains one of Hollywood's biggest missed opportunities. They look back at the incredible breakout performance of Angourie Rice as Holly, the sharp-as-a-tack script that perfectly blends dark detective tropes with laugh-out-loud absurdity, and how Shane Black managed to capture lightning in a bottle by pairing an old-school tough guy with a master of modern comedic timing. Clay has questions. The truth, as always, lies somewhere in a swimming pool with Richard Nixon.

The League goes Trekking Through Trek again as they tackle Star Trek: First Contact. The crew of the Enterprise D travel back in time to battle the Borg for the fate of humanity. They also have to convince a drunken buffoon to fly a spaceship so aliens will spot him, and Captain Picard has to stave off obsession. All that, plus Data gets some!

This week Matt, Clay, and John dive deep into the 1996 blockbuster Star Trek: First Contact — widely considered the best Next Generation film and one of the greatest Star Trek movies ever made. Directed by Jonathan "Two Takes" Frakes (who plays Commander Riker), this 30th anniversary classic pits the Enterprise-E crew against the relentless Borg Collective in a race through time back to April 4, 2063 — First Contact Day itself.

We break down Picard's Ahab-level obsession with the Borg, the introduction of the terrifying yet oddly seductive Borg Queen, Data's very special encounter with her, and whether Zefram Cochran is the most reluctant hero in sci-fi history. We also get into the Rotten Tomatoes rankings across all Star Trek films, Jonathan Frakes' legendary "Two Takes" directing style, the practical model work by ILM on the Enterprise-E, and why the line "You're astronauts on some kind of Star Trek" might be the best/worst line in franchise history.

Whether you're a lifelong Trekkie or just Trekking Through Trek for the first time, this is the episode for you.
