Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery, Short Treks & Podcast

Can you smell what Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery, Short Treks & Picard Podcast is cooking? That's right, it's another fat, juicy, carnal slice of podcasting goodness. BAM! We're kicking it up a notch with three great guests, all together for the first time ever. Kregg Castillo makes his Picard debut with the scent of a Ferengi, Sean Davis smells like a sharp blue cheese that you're rapidly getting to like, and Barm is here, wafting into your nostrils like the odor of the most comfortable old shoe. And with Hugh (not Culber, the Borg) back in the picture, the savory smells of a Borg BBQ come ever closer to reality. Follow your nose to the most aromatic Picard cast in town!

Jack has found the Map to a fun and entertaining show, and it points toward a podcast LEGEND: Sean Davis of After the Credits, making his Picard debut. Like all decent and good-hearted people, Sean loves Jean-Luc Picard. But how do we feel about Star Trek: Picard, the show, after the initial luster of the first episode? As they grapple to answer that question, Jack and Sean address the big questions, like the role of A.I., Trek actually presenting both sides of an issue, the commonalities between Borg Cubes and theme park attractions, Romulan culture, secrets within secrets within conspiracies, and most importantly of all, the SHEER. FUCKING. HUBRIS.

PICARD is back, and so is Jack's Silly, and with Barm, Sam Stovold (Marvel Star Wars Explorers) and Kevin Young (Reopening the Wormhole) here, it is going to get SILLY AF. So many questions to answer! Is Picard good? Does Slush-o Cola mean Star Wars and Star Trek are in the same universe? How does Picard compare to Disco? Why SHOULDN'T Romulans be Irish? Are pit bulls inherently dangerous? What is Chingy's role in all this? Why do Romulans live in Borg Cubes? What is this goddang podcast gonna be like now? Press play and ENGAGE.

You've read this description of the episode. And you haven't. And you will read it. And you won't. This podcast was on the road to PICARD, but we decided to take a U-turn into the mycelial network in Disco Town, by reading DEAD ENDLESS, by Dave Galanter. As per Hugh-jual, Barm is here, but Sam Stovold (Reopening the Wormhole, Marvel Star Wars Explorers) has also been kind enough to throw his fungal hat into the mycelial ring to talk about the greatest love story of all time, that of Paul Stamets, Hugh Culber, the Tardigrade, and the Mycelial Network. The very fungal ties that bind. And in so doing, we all fall in love, bittersweetly, with a vision of the Discovery that could have been! Yes, we're all excited about Picard, but join us one last time as we dance the mushroom to that sweet, sad, mycelial music.

DEVASTATING. Abolutely devastating. The only words to describe this podcast's coverage of the Season 2 FINALE of Short Treks, Children of Mars. (Marge by the Monorail? WE DID IT.) To help Jack make sense of this tragedy, and of the bottomless cruelty of Rogue Synths, he has enlisted the help of some dear friends, including Barm, Kevin Young (Reopening the Wormhole) and Richard Dunham (Ghibli Minute, Akira Minute). They're here to talk tween girl shenanigans, shitty bus drivers, John Carpenter, cable news, oddly placed Peter Gabriel songs, what this means for Picard, Short Trek rankings, and so much more!

People in SPRINGFIELD continue to fall off the escalator to nowhere. The end credits play. A woman in a movie theater says ·SHH· as the GRACIE FILMS logo plays on the screen. With Co-host Geoff Clarke and Guest Commentators Sean Davis and Josh Lee.

HOMER'S makeshift anchor finds purchase on a gigantic donut, stopping the MONORAIL and saving everyone on board.

In an indeterminate future, MARGE narrates about the other monumental follies SPRINGFIELD has embarked upon. With Co-host Geoff Clarke and Guest Commentators Sean Davis and Josh Lee.

SEBASTIAN COBB tells HOMER to find an anchor of some sort to stop the MONORAIL.

With Co-host Geoff Clarke and Guest Commentators Sean Davis and Josh Lee.

The solar eclipse ends and the MONORAIL is once again dangerously out of control. Meanwhile, LYLE LANLEY·S plane to TAHITI makes a stopover in NORTH HAVERBROOK, where he is spotted from the ground.
