It's time to talk about trash, people! Myrriah Gossett of Star Trek Discovery Pod joins Mike to kick off our "Inessential Sci-Fi" Series, in which we talk about the forgotten genre trash we love to watch. In this ep, we cover the premiere episode of CLEOPATRA 2525, a wonderfully campy syndicated TV relic from the year 2000 from executive producers Sam Raimi, R.J. Stewart, and Robert G. Tapert.
