It’s time for more Sci-Fi B-Sides, in which we cover campy sci-fi movies and TV from the pop culture trash bin of yesteryear. This time, Mike Moody-Garcia and Steven Fatheree of Tex-Trek cover the premiere of Gene Roddenberry’s Andromeda. This goofy ass series from the early 2000s stars Kevin Sorbo as a spaceship captain with an iron heart, and ironed hair, who’s on a mission to bring blandness to the universe. It’s amazing.
