The 1980s may have been a renaissance for science fiction movies with Star Wars and its sequels, Star Trek and Buckaroo Banzai lighting the skies and filling the seats. But a non-descript science fiction-ish slavery allegory set in the rumbling streets of Harlem offers a more cerebral thoughtful brand of galactic whimsy.

The celebration of SuperTribble's first born reaching those precious yet dreaded teen years has the big guy in an especially contemplative state about the reality of geekdom in the 21st century. As such.

Our girl Rhonda, the Luddite Tribble, joins us for an entertaining and educating night of Wonder Woman, holodecks, replicators and inertial dampeners. We give away posters and tickets and try to give away a game but nevertheless, the Countdown to STAR TREK: MISSION NEW YORK continues in grand fashion.

The Ran of Steel returns with a word or two and such and so for Nerds and a thing or two or three for Sports Fans as well. Enjoy old head musings in your ear cavity!

BUT WE LAND at an staunch debate on Warner Bros' Wonder Woman feature film as the COUNTDOWN TO STAR TREK MISSION NEW YORK rolls on.

The Tribbles and The Poptards look back at San Diego Comic-Con desperately searching for comic book news amidst the thrilling trailers and casting announcements which uncovers a deep secret of Black Hollywood before they build a soundtrack for Netflix's LUKE CAGE. Shout-out to The Shadow League, the Black Geeks and The Starting 5 podcasts for igniting our creativity and music programming muscles.

Return with us to the 1930s, when the independent spirit of creativity shown itself in the 'race films' that played theaters in Negro parts of town and in the hoofers, clowns and saucy sirens that populated those cheap celluloid fare.
