BONUS EPISODE 4 - "STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME"


Pop some popcorn and shush everyone in the room because hosts Cam Smith and Tyler Orton, accompanied by special guest Tony Geluch, are on hand with another fabulous Film Flashback. Taking a (Vulcan robed) dive into 1986's STAR TREK IV: THE VOYAGE HOME, the trio humorously struggle to determine how much nostalgia has colored this beloved time travel adventure. Is there serious substance to be mined from Leonard Nimoy's second directorial effort, or is this decidedly comedic venture merely an agreeable 80s fish out of water trifle? Or both? There's plenty of fun back-and-forth to be had, with a healthy side order of era-appropriate Perfect Strangers references and Splash trivia to boot!

EPISODE 16 - "ALL-TIME TREK ANTAGONISTS"


In all classic adventure stories, a hero must face a worthy foil to truly achieve greatness! As we all know, the franchise that Roddenberry wrought is an embarrassment of riches when it comes to compelling adversaries, so this week hosts Cam Smith and Tyler Orton read out their honor rolls of who among the many belong in the upper echelon. As an added bonus, the duo also engage in a very funny lightning round shaming the suckiest foes faced by Starfleet, as well as assume the intimidating responsibility of acting as the deciding voice in Trek/Friends fan-casting. We kid you not.
