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

It's Round 2 of Jack and Barm's animated discussion about cartoons, and this time they're tackling one of the most puzzling Short Treks yet: The Girl Who Made the Stars! MICHAEL BURNHAM MAKES HER SHORT TREKS DEBUT. It's the first ever CGI animated Trek, and with it comes all the baggage that carries. The SoCal Mall Boys dish on creepy Toy Story 1-esque CGI characters, annoying "kid-speak", cool Abyss inspired aliens, how long anatomically modern humans have existed, creation myths, the untapped potential of CGI animation, how awesome Sarek is, and ultimately uncover the "Reverse Goku Situation." It's an episode as out of this world as a little Michael Burnham's bed.

Barm is back to talk with Jack about the first animated Star Trek production in forty-five years! Join them as they dive right back into the mycelial network to talk tardigrades, robots, Kirk Thatcher, Khan, Engineering, Chris D'Elia, WALL-E, Rogue One, classic nutty moments from the original series, old cartoons, sloppy continuity errors and so much more. Plus, it's a total Michael Giacchino love-fest. This tardigrade egg is hatching a winner!

Short Treks Season 2 continues, and nearly two months later, Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery and Short Treks Podcast is on the scene! That's right, Jack is joined by Barm and Kregg Castillo, his most frequent guests of this venerable modern Trek podcast to talk Pike in more Sidhu-able fashion than usual! Baby Yoda, Tholians, and BDSM play, oh my! The boys also take a moderate dive into The Mandalorian, while the internet still cares about it. WE care, too. And when you hear what we have to say about Chingy, Starbases, and Bolian hair…. so will you.

Short Treks Season 2 continues, and nearly two months later, Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery and Short Treks Podcast is on the scene! Or should we say, The ApeCast is on the scene? That's right, Jack is joined by his ApeCast cohost of the venerable POTA podcast to talk Tribbles in a bit Archer a fashion than usual! Zelda and Cereals and video games, oh my! The boys also take a shallow dive into the Rise of Skywalker, long after the internet has stopped caring about it. But WE care. And when you hear what we have to say about Trill officers, Klingons, and Tribble hair…. so will you.

Short Treks Season 2 Is upon us, and nearly two months later, Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery and Short Treks Podcast is on the scene! Or should we say, Reopening the Wormhole is on the scene? That's right, Jack is joined by Sam Stovold and Kevin Young of the venerable DS9 podcast to talk Spock in the Number One way with a session of Q&A! Upjohns and Unamatrices and horses, oh my! The boys also take a deep dive into the Disco Season 3 trailer and the second Picard trailer, long after the internet has stopped caring about them. But WE care. And when you hear what we have to say about Trill Pools, Lurians, and Michael Burnham and Data's hair…. so will you.

(FANS ONLY) REVELATIONS! Shocking as it may be, long before Jack's Silly Little Silly Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast, your beloved Jack was a mere co-host of other shows. In this very special and long and boring peek behind the curtain, Jack has taken something he had inadvertently recorded after an RTW session and turned it into gold. SEAN DAVIS (After The Credits) makes his debut on the show, in a way he never dreamed of nor wanted. Listen to Jack, Sean and friend of the show and brother of Jack, Sam (until he falls asleep) talk inside baseball about the podcasting game, love each other's shows, blab about dumb shit, solve all the problems in Disco and Trek fandom (and a divided America) and THEN, dive deep into how fucking GREAT the finales of both LOST and Battlestar Galactica and HOW WRONG YOU ARE TO HATE THEM. Unfortunately, due to the massive popularity of the show, we are no longer ad free. But lord knows what these commercials are trying to sell… FYI, this episode is for FANS ONLY.

Jack and his best buddy Barm talk about The Enterprise War, by John Jackson Miller, a very fun book starring Captain Pike, Spock, and a pirate Lurian (like Morn from DS9) in a powered exoskeleton. They're also diving back into the mailbag, and doing a deep dive and giving you their room-temperature takes on what was at the time the hottest explosion of Star Trek news! The Picard Trailer, Short Treks, Disco Season 3, and Lower Decks are discussed. I can say, without any hyperbole, that is the greatest thing ever recorded.

A drunken Jack comes back home after a long night to talk with a very patient Kevin about Discovery. That's right, it's Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Electric Light Orchestra: Discovery Podcast! 1979 ELO album Discovery is what the boys are talking here, as Jack revisits the album for the first time in over a decade, and Jack DISCOVERS it for the first time! Kevin also helps Jack to understand what music is and how it works, and endeavors to keep the show listenable, as they take a song=by-song look at the album and DISCOVERY DISCOVERY is VERY DISCO.

You Disco listeners asked for it, you got it! That's right, it's the first, best, destiny of any Star Trek Disco podcast: The long-awaited Curb Your Enthusiasm/Godzilla: King of the Monsters episode you slobbering fanboys CRAVE! Curbspert Lauren Petronaci is back again to talk about one of Larry David's craziest adventures. Ted Danson! Mary Steenburgen! Jeff Garlin! MacEnroe! Mothra! I feel pretty confident in my assertion that this is the only Star Trek: Discovery podcast that brings you a Curb Your Enthusiasm/Godzilla: King of the Monsters episode out there. Plus, one HELL of a mailbag and Game of Thrones talk! Remember when people cared about that? Pretty,prettttttaaaay good. Okay.

Beverly. Hills. NINJA. Has another film ever risen above Dennis Dugan and Chris Farley's nuanced and sensitive portrayal of intercultural tensions between 1990s American coastal elites and that of ancient Japanese ninjas? No. There hasn't. This is the best one. To celebrate this masterpiece, Barm has once again joined forces with Jack for another movie commentary to commemorate The Summer of Stuff That's Not Star Trek, Except When It Is, by talking over BEVERLY HILLS NINJA, Chris Farley's magnum opus. THIS is what Star Trek: Discovery podcasts are all about. Hi-YA!
