Amblin Emotion (Film Fest: The Goonies 1985)

Fri, 18 Oct 2024 07:00:00 GMT

When a special guest gets to pick this week’s movie, it’s a perfect 80s time capsule with a sad situation on the penumbra of an adventure. But after the Goonies spend a week at the waterpark with Steven Spielberg, a completely different protagonist actually saves the day. What did the 80s contribute to the Commedia dell'arte? Do all Amblin films take place in the same universe? Why doesn’t Astoria have a social safety net? It’s the episode that imagines both its prequel and its sequel.

When the guys need to select a second movie for their film festival Adam forgets the one rule he set for himself, no blockbusters, and chooses a T-Rex sized smash hit.

Who said it best, Muldoon or Lecter? Did Jeff Goldblum get to take the excess chest oil home? It’s the episode that has golf time written into its contract.

But when Commander Sinclair defies orders to keep the peace, Londo is the only one who doesn’t believe his nephew’s hostage video. Why isn’t there more science fiction tv? What’s the steel-to-person ratio of Babylon 5? How does a Star Trek podcast stay cool as hell? It’s the episode that’s banking sick voice!

A Thousand Things At Once (Patrick Stewart on Bullseye)

Fri, 19 Jan 2024 08:00:00 GMT

When Jesse Thorn joins Ben and Adam to relive a conversation with P-Stew, the intro runs almost as long as the interview itself. But when foundational SNL sketches differ, the resulting questions go from glib to sincere and Jesse offers up remote pod viewing directly into his adolescence. If NPR is Godzilla, what is PRI? Where do public radio and Star Trek align? What’s the weirdest thing about having lunch with Jesse? It’s the episode that fantasizes about a very elderly man’s workout routine.

Weaving the Blanket as We're Flying It (with Adam Ragusea)

Fri, 12 Jan 2024 08:00:00 GMT

When Ben and Adam need to Q their A’s, Adam Ragusea stops by the pod to lend a hand. But when the trio wants Bonita Applebum and instead they get Apples and Bananas, it looks like things may be off to a rocky start. Where has Kevin been hiding all these years? Is it crenellation or castellation? Does Instacart deliver to the D quad? It’s the episode that asks “What did you think of that?”

The New Yorker But With Fart Jokes and Dongers (What We Left Behind)

Fri, 05 Jan 2024 08:00:00 GMT

When Ben and Adam got to see an early preview of the DS9 retrospective in 2019, they sat down to record a bonus episode about everything it brought to light. But with Voyager’s own documentary on the way soon, how will it compare without a Shat or an Ira to center himself in the story. Who was responsible for a prison experiment at the live screening? Why is this production so kind to Rick Berman? What type of director wouldn’t have used Meredith Brooks? It’s the episode that feels a lot like a Star Trek convention in a box.

A Costco Han Solo (with Aaron Waltke)

Fri, 29 Dec 2023 08:00:00 GMT

When a very important Star Trek person wanders into Ben’s cargo bay, he leaves the handmade gun at home to avoid another encounter with security. But with a 50% hit rate on the backstage rider, “Bowmore 15 or similar” results in something “perfectly drinkable”. How did Waltke Senior inform Rok-Tahk’s mouth? Is Kevin Uxbridge being discussed inside of Big Rodd’s pocket? Does Nickelodeon slime have a shelf life? It’s the episode that’s made for specialized collectors of Star Trek V memorabilia!

If You’re Going to Ralph’s You’ve Made Your Choices (Heat)

Fri, 22 Dec 2023 08:00:00 GMT

When a really good crew takes a redshirt on an away mission, he turns out to be more of a cowboy than they expected. But when they agree to a really big score, they might meet their match with a crew playing for the other team. What's the URL for Craig's List but for heists? What do you call guys that aren't Wayne Knight, but kind of are? Is the Sizemore Special a smart thing to order for breakfast on the morning of a heist? Everybody knows that Heat isn't a holiday movie. What this special episode presupposes is, maybe it is?

I Dare Anyone To Be Larkinier (2023 Larkin Awards)

Fri, 15 Dec 2023 08:00:00 GMT

When yet another awards show rolls through The Beverly Hilton Ballroom, Greatest Trek’s biggest stars gather to honor an entire year of NuTrek. But when none of the winners show up to receive their awards, it becomes clear why some presenters were also nominees in their category. Who doesn’t even watch Star Trek? Where can you buy Patrick Stewart’s book? Which beloved series will be unceremoniously excluded? It’s the episode with a pretty loose grasp on its own classics!

Silkwood Sonic Shower (Very Short Treks E3, E4, E5)

Fri, 01 Dec 2023 08:00:00 GMT

When Adam and Ben resume their trip through Very Short Treks, they find the booger jokes and philosophy class exactly to their tastes. But when Tendi offends the olds with more figures of speech, Riker breaks into a song that blows the whole genre up. How might a mini fridge affect a party? What is Ensign HAZMAT actually there for? Who is always a safe choice for Edward Larkin? It’s the episode that’s also good but not great on purpose!

Fri, 17 Nov 2023 08:00:00 GMT

When Ben and Adam set a course for Very Short Treks, they don’t know where they’re going but it’s familiar once they arrive. But when Captain Pete Holmes can’t say anything right and Spock’s comedy logic bombs, we’re left to pick up the many exploding pieces. What’s the problem with brassieres? How do you play marriage on hard mode? Which technology paved the way for carpeted starships? It’s the episode that wants to take it to series!

When Nick Locarno tries to relive his glory days with a Nova Fleet recruitment drive, his assumptions about Mariner are proven spectacularly wrong.

Are bioweapons allowed in barter by combat? Which Passaro is NuTrek trying to celebrate? It’s the episode that gives you yet another reason to always carry cash!

When Mariner’s recklessness becomes the main issue for her crewmates, the Betas keep her occupied with a mission of distraction. But while Captain Freeman struggles to complete the real mission, a new Klingon friend helps Mariner understand her bad behavior. What makes a public park truly scary? Why aren’t there more gateways?

When the megalomaniacal heavy hitters show back up on Lower Decks, the Bynars take a shot that reveals more about the tilt ship. But when Rutherford can’t convince Badgey to go good with a hug, pulling straight from the Spock playbook splits his creation into its only three parts. Whatever happened to Houdini?

But when Vice Admiral Janeway picks up some strange readings on Tars Lamora, her pursuit of Chakotay leads her into bad guy territory. Shouldn’t all starships have a just-in-case tank? Which app do you use for no-strings whale action? Is there an eviler way to cook a sausage? It’s the episode that’s a friendship contest that’s also a podcast!

The Wrath of Badgey (Lower Decks S3E10)

Thu, 27 Oct 2022 07:00:00 GMT

When Captain Freeman challenges Admiral Buenamigo to a mission race, the fate of the entire Cali-class is on the line. But when Mariner tunes in to FNN, her career as a tomb raider is cut short. Is Star Trek full of sex candles? Why aren’t there more contest episodes? Have the pronunciation waters ever been muddier? It’s the episode that didn’t check for nubbins!

Hairy Glitter Hot Dogs (Lower Decks S3E9)

Tue, 25 Oct 2022 07:00:00 GMT

When Mariner wants to gush about life on the Cerritos to a visiting reporter, everyone mistrusts her intentions and tries to shut her out of the story. But when Captain Freeman assumes the worst about her daughter’s unauthorized interview, her epic overreaction forces Mariner to choose between Starbase 80 and striking out on her own. Is nepotism still legal in some states? How are we supposed to feel about Captain Freeman? Is a bunk bed shuttle the ultimate indignity? It’s the episode that’s still looking for (and finding) glitter!

Tue, 18 Oct 2022 07:00:00 GMT

When Boilmer pens a sequel to the original Crisis Point, it winds up skewing a little more The Final Frontier than The Wrath of Khan. But when Tendi cosplays as captain, it’s Romulan boob windows all over space. Is this the best the E has ever looked? What’s the point of towel warmers? Is Knick Knack going to be a thing moving forward? It’s the episode that promises 75% less interruptions!

Tue, 11 Oct 2022 07:00:00 GMT

When Peanut Hamper’s story continues with a crash landing on a backwater planet, she’s more C-3PO than Paul Sheldon to the owl people who find her. But when Rawda takes the wayward space box under his wing, the ancient secret he shares ends up changing the course of the planet. Does Tom Hanks not know how to land a plane? Has new goat-milking technology affected the Areore population? What did woke culture ruin this time? It’s the episode that has completed the pivot to multi-hyphenate podcast!

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 07:00:00 GMT

When the Cerritos stops at DS9 for some post-war diplomacy, Quark has his own reasons for not wanting to do business with the Karemma. But when great social discomfort forces several characters to face their past, squirrelly Ferengi accounting is there to mitigate the drama. What comes after the Armus phase? How do Bajoran children tolerate the Sunday sacrament? Is Boimler the De Niro of Lower Decks? It’s the episode that’s keeping its balls in the air and its mind in the gutter.

When Mariner gets an ultimatum along with her job fair assignment, it’s Boimler who ends up flipping tables at the Starfleet recruitment booth. But when Rutherford faces off with a younger version of himself, a glimpse of his past raises questions about a cover up. How much detail is needed for a bit? Why is Federov taking so many showers? What type of person actually joins Starfleet? It’s the episode that gets the facts a little wrong.

When the Cerritos engineers get assigned relaxation on The Dove, Captain Freeman is the one who ends up needing intensive treatment. But when it’s Beta vs Delta in a hero’s journey through the ship, a classic double cross leaves the ensigns pitted out. What's the company policy on spa days? How does a mud tub drain? What comes after the cinnamon love tunnel? It’s the episode that might be trolling the audience!

When an away mission sends the ensigns to clean up a science outpost’s mess, their pissing contest with the Carlsbad crew leads to some orb-related carelessness. But when the psychic mines start revealing the ensigns’ fantasies, they learn a lot about each other and their reputation among the Cali-class ships. WHO THE FUCK is Captain Murakami? Is there an acceptable shortcut to galactic exploration? What use is a teacher with no passion for the material? It’s the episode that’s not tolerating any DeSoto erasure!

Tue, 06 Sep 2022 07:00:00 GMT

When a role reversal means Mariner is left to fix an orbital lift for the Delanians, the engineering team visits the planet's surface to learn just how accommodating their hosts can be. But when Mariner discovers that Rutherford and Billups committed the ultimate faux pas by not cropping their tops, she prematurely jumps into action. Will Boimler boldly go where no Boimler has gone before? Is guacamole a condiment? Was Ortegas part Delanian? It's the episode that tells you, “there's no use in crying over spilled milk”.

Can we get Seven a new shirt? What do you do with a Romulan corpse in 2024? Is Star Trek obligated towards coherence? It’s the episode that just needed a hug!

When Captain Pike gets called back from Montana to rescue Number One, the mission goes from undercover prison break to very persuasive Powerpoint presentation after Spock’s loaf wears off. But as the Entrepreneur’s new crew settles in for a season of space exploration, Pike sees visions of his future in every reflective panel on the ship. Is the Vulcan bra unnecessarily complex? Are shipwide comms the best part about being a Starfleet captain? Was Archer insulted by having a single-nacelle ship named after him? It’s the episode with million-dollar grays!
