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

Rejoice! Short Treks are here! New Discovery! But are Short Treks actually Discovery!? Just one of the many thorny issues Jack and friends are diving into as they luxuriate in the first new Silvia Tilly footage in MONTHS. Other topics on the table: Classic TV Tropes that Short Treks have no interest in discontinuing, the fate of 3D movies, Mad Max: Fury Road, when this Short Trek takes place (a subject of particular interest to a reinvigorated Continuity Carlos), what internet memes are like on sentient cat planets, insect larvae, and good ol' Stephen King and Philip K. Dick! Also, dilithium crystals are silly! In the lead up to Season 2, remain short, and remain silly!

Jack is back with Barm again to talk about the third original novel based on the explosive new CBS All Access series, Star Trek: Discovery! As with every other Star Trek: Discovery book, this one does not follow the crew of the Discovery. Instead, it focuses on a tale as old of time: a Kelpien learning to overcome his fear. In that vein, we'll be talking about fear chubs, the ol' Constitution Class, Goro & Mortal Kombat, Saurians, the original Saru make-up, Tholians, the Peliar-Zel and their role in TNG and DS9, and all the latest (as of three months ago) trailers and Season 2 news. This is, without question, the single most exciting podcast you will ever hear.

Are you ready to hear something that's pretty, pretttyyyy good? …..Okay. Curb Your Enthusiasm superfan and all around swell gal Lauren Petronaci joins Jack to talk about her favorite episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm on his Star Trek podcast, for some reason. How else are you going to fill these long, horrible stretches of Discovery-less time? The Bowtie is the answer! Join Jack and Lauren as they struggle to navigate the confusing politics of handicap bathrooms, African-American men wearing bowties and what it could possibly mean, what to do if you may have a racist dog, the unpredictable whims of the lesbian community, dessert party etiquette, and so much more. It's just a typical episode of Curb, but a very special and ATYPICAL episode of Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast! (Special Historical Footnote that absolutely no one would care about: This was recorded the SAME DAY as The ApeCast's coverage of the very first episode of the 1970s POTA TV show.)...Jedi?

Just in time for Short Treks, it's another amazing episode of Drunk Star Wars, with Kregg Castillo! (Don't worry, we'll be talking Short Treks soon). Jack and Kregg are reversing the format, as this time JACK is the one who is drunk and seeing the film for the first time! Boy, is he drunk! Listen to him over explain the same things repeatedly and SHOUT about Darth Maul! It's the hottest of hot takes as these two boys are recording this straight after getting home from theaters! (Yes, that's how long ago this was recorded). What should we drink to? Let's drink two (hundred) and see what happens!

Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast is finally back! That of course means Drunk Star Wars with Kregg, Part III, months after it was recorded. Give this five hour + monstrosity a whirl, and you'll soon discover(y) why, as these two drunk idiots spent an inordinate amount of time and pain to get here. Many Bothans died to bring you this information. Anyways, making this into anything coherent at all has kind of sapped me of any energy left to write a snappy summary, so just listen to it, OK?? Just let this episode die… kill it if you have to.

Hello there! We're coming in too HOT and still barely making it in for May (sorry Last Jedi), but we're definitely still flying HALF a podcast. That's right, Kregg and Jack's powers have DOUBLED since the last time you saw them, they are DRUNK and they're back to talk about a movie that Kregg has definitely seen before, although strictly in prequel meme form. We've found a way to save you from our nightmares, and it is this podcast. It is a volcanic podcast, you will be safe here. But it's only because we're so in love with you! As we delve into the wacky and fun world of this profoundly flawed, profoundly entertaining film you will soon learn that only podcasts deal in absolutes. You FOOL! If you're not listening to this podcast, then you're OUR ENEMY. Love can't save you, only this new podcast can do that! Listen to this, and YOU will have the high ground! Another happy landing!

In classic Jack's Silly fashion, here's our promised Part I of Drunk Star Wars with Kregg, coming at you a whole two days after May the 4th! Kregg watches Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones for the first time and gets nice and drunk but still remains his charming self, while Jack is drunker than he expected and begins veering into angry shouty fanboy territory! See how much you can endure! But while their inebriation styles may be different, Kregg and Jack can agree on at least one thing: this movie SUUUUCKS. Get yourself some drinks and spend a few hours with us to find out WHY. Weesa muy muy drunk!

Jack and Barm are finally back to talk about the literary EVENT of 2018, Dayton Ward's Star Trek Discovery: Drastic Measures, and this is no Carlos prank this time. It's the real deal, and they are having a blast talking about a book that they don't really care about very much, starring one immediately dead character from Discovery, and a mirror version of another who technically has never appeared in the show, on a crazy mission in the past to stop another character who appeared in one episode of a different Star Trek show. But why waste time talking about the plot when we can really dig into Dayton Ward's unusual writing style and his propensity for going into great detail about the hair and ethnicity of every new character we meet? And then just talk about Lord of the Rings for a while? Ahh, it's good to be back!

Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast is BACK! Remember Star Trek: Discovery? It's back. In book form. Jack roped old friend and most frequent guest Barm into reading the first Discovery novel, David Mack's Desperate Hours, and they're here to report to all you Discoverinos with their findings. Despite the title, Discovery is nowhere to be found here, as David Mack brings us to a point a year before the show where the USS Shenzhou finds itself assigned to a joint mission with none other than the USS Enterprise under the command of Captain Pike and crew. In the midst of our lively discussion about the many merits and several flaws of this entertaining read, we'll touch upon Barm's history with the 2001 "franchise", David Mack's valiant yet silly efforts to make Discovery fit better into Star Trek continuity (which Carlos has thoughts on), how the book has made us reevaluate our feelings on how season one played out, and our history with Star Trek books in general! We're back, and now so is your will to live!
