BONUS EPISODE 8 - "STAR TREK: FIRST CONTACT"

When it was released in 1996, First Contact - unlike Generations - delivered what fans wanted: a fun time travel plot, plenty of series call-backs and the dreaded Borg. Grossing  a stellar $146-million dollars worldwide, it instantly became a top fan favorite. But how does the picture hold up almost 20 years later? In this month's bonus movie review episode, hosts Cam Smith, Tyler Orton and Benjamin Yong, along with special guest Adrian MacNair, toss on their metaphorical EV suits and steadfastly travel back into space, dodging deadly drones all the way, in a bold effort to assess the durability and skill of Jonathan Frakes' first big screen adventure. What they find may just surprise you. So crank up the Steppenwolf, toss back a few and blast off on another fun-filled Film Flashback!

So grab that special person in your life, click download, and make this a sexy holiday affair to remember.

EPISODE 31 - "BEST & WORST CHILD CHARACTERS"

From Chaplin's the Kid, Shirley Temple, Opie and the Bowery Boys, to Cole Sear, Arya Stark and Harry Potter, Hollywood has a long, proud tradition of producing child characters who take the world by lovable storm. But how does Star Trek fare in this regard? This week hosts Cam Smith and Tyler Orton, along with returning guest Jarrah Hodge of Trekkie Feminist, dive into the franchise's long, storied past and separate the greats from the brats! Whether examining the troubles with Borg teens, or the merits of precocious Ferengi, we leave no stone unturned in a bold attempt to celebrate the most endearing pint-sized scene-stealers, and shudder at the little monsters who had us frantically clicking the 'mute' button on our remote control.
