December 2, 2018

This week we continue our long-running series of reviewing all the Muppet and Star Trek films with Star Trek: Nemesis! Worst Star Trek film? Or simply misunderstood?

Since the film heavily features the planets Romulus and Remus, Steve delves into the “real life” Romulus and Remus from myth and legend.

We also have Nerdy News of retiring and debuts of pop culture characters and unethical genetic editing.

Also, some Technobabble Imrpov, Radical Recommends and Trailer Reviews of Mary Poppins Returns, The Lion King, and Anna and the Apocalypse.

Episode 101 - Star Trek Insurrection Film Review!

September 12, 2018

We continue our long running series of reviewing every film in the Muppets and Star Trek film franchises with an in depth review of Star Trek: Insurrection! Generally considered a “meh” film, see if our opinions differ from that!

Steve will give us a lesson about real life insurrections throughout history. We also have Nerdy News of UFOs possibly monitoring Donald Trump and child warfare that may have prepared early humans for everyday life.

Then we’ll have the return of Technobabble Improv! Where Steve is given a randomized bit of dialog full of Treknobabble, and he has to improv a short scene to go with it.

Following that we have some Radical Recommends, a game of Would You Rather, and then Trailer Reviews of the Halloween reboot (ish) and the UFO flick, Beyond the Sky.
