Episode 199: Cake Is Eternal

New character Adira arrives (played by Blu del Barrio), the Discovery finally gets a full-time captain, and that guy from the Dawn of the Dead remake grows a mullet. So yeah, we have a lot to unpack.


We also add another nameless Red Shirt to our memorial wall. So grab a slice of "eternal cake" and listen now!

Episode 195: Lower Decks’ 'Crisis Point' Review, Plus 'Family' Turns 30!

Episode 195: Lower Decks’ “Crisis Point” Review, Plus “Family” Turns 30! "Crisis Point" is Lower Decks' version of Star Trek VI porn which is very much our jam. Every Trek feature film iteration gets skewered in this deceptively poignant homage to the franchise's big screen legacy, and… oh, just listen to us gush about it in our review.

The episode also gives us two more Red Shirts to add to the pile of funeral-only torpedo tubes. And we look back at Next Generation’s classic “Family” for its 30th (!) anniversary.


So deactivate the holodeck safety protocols, cue the super-long spacedock shuttle flyby, and listen now to our newest episode!
