Grab a pencil and a communicator because it's time to blast off to The 'Verse! Academy: our Star Trek 101 discussion! Squad Trekkies Lucas and Norm are in session and Cadets Bridget and Emilia are their newest students. Tune in as we begin our coverage of Paramount+'s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, an excellent jumping off point into the universe for newcomers and a fond homage for seasoned fans.

We also cover a very emotional episode of Moon Knight, solidifying it as some of our favorite Marvel content in a long time.
