Join us for an epic review of the final original cast Star Trek film, The Undiscovered Country! From shapeshifting monkey-women to Shakespeare-spouting Klingons, we cover it all.
We have Nerdy News of Amish super-humans and soon-to-be-dead Flat-Earthers, Thanksgiving memories and prison trivia, improvisational acting involving Technobabble, and some great Radical Recommends.
On top of all that, in this huge episode, we also review the movie trailers for Rampage and A Wrinkle in Time!
This week we jump into Copy Cat Cinema: TV Edition! With Star Trek: Discovery and The Orville! We pick a side and fight it out for which one is better...then we say how we really feel.
For Nerdy News we discuss some weird origami butterflies in Seattle, Hurricane Irma after effects, and tattoos with medical benefits!
For Trailer Reviews we cover Annihilation (from the writer/director of Ex Machina) and the possible sleeper hit, Osiris Child.
Stay tuned as well for Star Trek triva, a round of Would You Rather, and some Radical Recommends!

It's that time of year again! When San Diego Comic Con is flooded with releases of all kinds of trailers and sneak previews of all the geeky/nerdy movies and TV shows on the docket for the upcoming year. We take a look at the highlights and let you know what has us excited...and bored. You can find a list with most everything we cover here.
We also pack in TWO games! We bring back Hypothetical Hubub, (a disturbing version of "would you rather") and Indie Band or Smut Search! If you don't already know that game, you'll have to listen to understand.
For Nerdy News we cover synthetic food made from air, a near miss from a flying planetary body, Brazil's economy compared to World of Warcraft, and terrifying AI made by Facebook!

This week on the podcast we continue our ongoing series where we review all the films in the Muppets and Star Trek franchises, with Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home! To help us do that we have super-Star Trek fans and co-hosts of the Ten Forward Podcast, Matt Hansen, Paul Wright and Chris Mitchell! They'll help us delve into this fan favorite Star Trek film in detail.
For the rest of the show we have some Nerdy News, with the discovery of the possible "missing link" of whales, and some crazy shake-ups with the production of the next Star Wars spin-off film with Han Solo.
Trailer Reviews are very short, for reasons you'll hear on the show, with Blade Runner: 2049 and Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle.
