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

Picard is BACK, and of course that means the PD Crew is on the case. If Picard can get the ol' gang back together, why couldn't Jaxilly? But does the PD Crew LIKE what Picard is hawking? (Shriking?) Spoiler alert: Not really, but we're having as much fun chewing on this content here as Captain Shaw does chewing his dinner and also being annoyed by Picard and Riker and their harebrained schemes. It's early 2023, obviously, so Antman and the Wasp in Quantumania (remember that?) is on everyone's minds, but we're also comparing Jellico to Shaw, gushing over the Star Trek porn that is this season's end credits, trying to figure out if we saw a Changeling, fantasizing about Picard going insane (or doing some actual acting), revisiting the Citadel of Galens, and dropping THREE phat new jams. Season 3 of Picard may not be off to a great start, but this season of Jaxilly will have you ENGAGED.

As Season one of Prodigy draws to a close (in 2023), Jack gets together with Barm for the first time in a while to discuss Prodigy and how the season finale of this CGI kids show packs in more classic Trek heart and soul than entire seasons of Discovery manage to. But they're also litigating the usage of speed anthems in early aughts racing movie trailers, talking Ludacris, trying to figure out what exactly warrant officers are, My Little Pony and other Jon de Lancie projects, and some surprising information about Dr. No. It's as explosive as the Protostar!

Ring in the new year…. 2023…. in July 2025 (why not, it's Jaxilly!) in this very special episode where three drunk guys are awash in residual holiday cheer and bonding over how this little Star Trek kids show that no one believed in is somehow building up to one of the most heartwrenching and tense finales in Trek history. Over a bottle of smoky Scotch (among other things), Jack, Sam and Sean explain the surprising way Return of the Jedi changed all media forever, celebrate the triumphant return of Jellico, imagine a George Lucas / Ira Steven Behr creative partnership, fail to access the Jaxilly mailbag on mobile, discuss Bad Bond girls and how Sean likes Bond movies that suck, and just generally amuse the shit out of each other. Here's to another year of T'KUVMA.

Rottweiler Kev is back for a body-swap Bonanza! As they witness V.A. Janeway and Dal making a real mess of things in each other's bodies, Kev and Jack reminisce on similar scenarios in Trek history, Jack shows off his hip-hop bona fides by declaring his love for numerous rap duos YOU'VE probably never heard of, Kev swaps bodies with someone who'd rather talk about ANYTHING other than James Bond, and they both are the first to hear what is surely going to THE summer jam of 2025! …. All the way back in 2022.

Sam is back for Baby's First Holodeck misadventure! As he and Jack enjoy some classic Trek holodeck tropes, they also find time to investigate intriguing British changes to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, display their knowledge of various iterations of Jonny Quest, reminisce about the Year of Luigi, discuss what makes a good plane movie, try to recall fictional Marvel countries, elucidate what good can be Salva(tion)ged from shitty Terminator sequels, relive 90's southern California talk radio, and in a very special Bond Talk session, Sam reports on his recent trip to London.

After starting out with some straight-up blasphemy, things only get worse from there as Jack and guest Sean Davis dig their way to hell with some Polish jokes and penis talk as they celebrate Pearl Harbor Day while talking about this CGI animated Star Trek show for children. Aren't you glad we're back? Don't worry, we're also getting esoteric with topics like the sovereignty of various Mediterranean islands, origins of nation names, alien lifespans, weird national borders, the origins of popular German stereotypes, what Prodigy does right with origin stories, and their final thoughts on ANDOR………… season one. Long live 2022.

Jaxilly, like the Romulans, is BACK! Apologies for the delay, the hard drive with all the recordings was basically held hostage by a lunatic repairman for FIVE months, but it's now back in my hands and repaired thanks to my pops! Expect episodes on a regular basis, starting with THIS ONE, in which Jack and Geoff talk about Masquerade, the fourteenth episode of Star Trek: Prodigy! It's where Dal finds out what he really is! And we find out what WE are, or at least what we were in November 2022. Guys who talk a LOT about things like the return of Jellico, some surprising cast members, Elon Musk, the Outrageous Okona, the 25 Year Mission, and how Quantum Solace is better than you think. And most importantly, the finale of ANDOR! …. …. …. season one.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION: STAR TREK: SECTION 31~! I know I'm sitting on a huge backlog of unreleased episodes, but we couldn't wait to drop our thoughts on Section 31! Although since this movie is destined to be a perennial favorite I'm sure it wouldn't matter when we drop this. It's a big boy packed with a squad as memorable and beloved as that in Section 31. Enjoy!

For Christmas 2024, Carlos first makes the long voyage to California, Jack's ancestral homeland, and settles in for a evening of outdoor cabana Christmas Eve cheer alongside Jack, Jack's father and Jay-Z. Merry Christmas!

While the Prodigy kids finally meet the REAL Janeway and her cronies, guest Kregg Castillo finally meets the XINDI! It's outrageous! Also, Okona is in this episode for some reason, and that we means we get to reminisce on all the ways that TNG Season 2 was such remarkable television. Kregg doesn&t remember Okona, and Jack also has some startling revelations about Prodigy that he already should have known. Oh, and ANDOR TALK! It's all here, and it's all outrageous!
