What A Couple of Dicks (Star Trek: Discovery The Light of Kahless Issues 1 & 2) Sep 25, 2018

Show notes

When new episodes of Star Trek Discovery are only weeks away, Adam and Ben decide to talk Trek news. But when our hosts realize they can read more comic books, it's time to bust out the Bics and illuminate their way to Issues 1 & 2 of The Light of Kahless.

Will the color pallet be vivid enough? How graceful does T'Kuvma age? Are two comics better than one?

It's the episode that continues the discovery while taking a trip to the past!

When ride shares are taken to their limit, television becomes a priority.

An interview with J.K. Woodward Aug 28, 2018

Show notes

When Adam and Ben return from Risa Vegas they're filled to the brim with Trek topics. But when comic book artist J.K. Woodward shows up to the studio it's time to perform a post-mortem on Star Trek Vegas and move on to the art of J.L.'s Pipes.

What's next for Trek? Does J.K. know more about Discovery than he lets on? Is there such a thing as a bad panel?

It's the episode that comes home from vacation, but is still operating on island time.

House Jumbo's Clown Room (Star Trek News) Aug 14, 2018

Show notes

When Adam and Ben come back from Las Vegas there's lots of Trek news to discuss. But when Lenny Kravitz splits their opinions on the Discovery season 2 trailer it's time to talk JL Pipes and the future canon of Big Rod. Will the Worf Chronicles still happen? At what point will the Klingons gain hair? Just how many questions at a convention are more *observations*?

It's the episode that's full of news, but the scripts are still in the works.

Fuckboi Emperor (Star Trek: Discovery Succession Issue 3) Jul 17, 2018

Show notes

When the Terran empire is discovered to have a Fuckboi as a leader, Mirror Universe Michael Burnham must try and take her rightful place as heir to the throne. But when Alexander finds out what Burnham is up to, he’s none too pleased.

Will Michael become Emperor? Is Airiam still angry? How much arch can you get on a mirror universe loogie?

It’s the episode that accurately represents its characters, but in a universe that is foreign to us!

An interview with Chris Black Jul 03, 2018

Show notes

When Star Trek Inc. sets its news updates to stun it’s time for Ben and Adam to compile, dissect, and discuss. But when Enterprise writer Chris Black stops by the Uxbridge-Shimoda studios it’s time to embrace some historical Star Trek facts. Have we seen the last of Picard? Will the new Trek properties be cartoons? How long until there’s a movie based on Masks? It’s the episode that looks at the hand that’s dealt, but knows, if you gotta win you gotta hit.

Sexual Cousteau (An interview with Manu Saadia) Jun 19, 2018

Show notes

When there’s a shakeup behind the scenes of Star Trek Discovery, it’s time for Ben and Adam to grip the mics and share the news. But when emotions get hot our hosts pivot to a chat with fellow Trek fan Manu Saadia about his thoughts on the current era of Sci-Fi and his fantastic book "Trekonomics."

Is season 2 still a go? Who’s driving the Disco now? Does Manu drop any economics spoilers?

It’s the episode that brings the heat but cools off with democratic socialism.

Mirror Universe Mr. DNA (Star Trek: Discovery Succession Issues 1 & 2) Jun 05, 2018

Show notes

When Star Trek Discovery fan-fic presents itself as less than worthy, Adam and Ben seek out some new Discovery stories that are canon. But when the Comixology app downloads a tale from the Mirror Universe, it's time for the boys to grow some goatees and swipe some panels. Will the pages of Succession help with the Star Trek fix? Do our hosts wear white gloves while reading comics? How many copies of Heavy Metal Magazine do Adam and Ben now own?

It's the episode that flips the pages but doesn't crease the spine!

Anti-Cumberbatch (Star Trek News) May 22, 2018

Show notes

Upon return from the Lone Star State, Adam and Ben decide to kick up their feet and relax. But unfortunately neither of our hosts can mellow-out after seeing what Disco Klingons look like with TNG-style hair. Was the Vulture Festival panel full of spoilers? Who’s the new Spock? Are Viacom and CBS fighting?

It’s the episode that’s full of opinions and Texas BBQ leftovers!
