Listen Later

Welcome to Episode 21... It's Bullcrap Science Magic! 

 

NOTE: This was our first episode trying to stream the podcast live on Twitch. Let's just say it did not go well! That is why you will hear our structure is a little different than usual, and note that many comments were made with a visual audience in mind! Pardon our dust!

 

In this episode:

 

  • In our Roll for Credits segment, we review the beloved (um, by some?) 1979 original Star Trek Motion Picture. Star Trek porn, disco jumpsuits with no jock straps, dramatic stares for days, and as Connor likes to put it... Bullcrap Science Magic!
  • Our Geek Question of the Day: Would you rather live as a D&D character in which all your actions are controlled by dice rolls, or live as a video game character and have all your actions controlled by an unknown third party? So, do you want your life controlled by random chance, or by some other being who may or may not be benevolent?! Ooh, can get kinda deep!
  • And of course there is more random geek chat about video games!

    •  

    And as always, several chickens were chased, though none were harmed in this episode.
