Science Friction with Asterios Kokkinos

THIS WEEK'S MISSION:

Our intrepid crew of comedians plays Bridge Simulator Simulator, and we hear a case inside Asterios Kokkinos' Continuity Court! It's the trial of that one joke from The Simpsons where the cast from Cheers showed up, and you'll ONLY hear the verdict on Science Friction!

THIS WEEK'S MISSION:

WHAT is a Husbando Pillow and WHY does Crystal Beth want one? You gotta listen to find out, which I guess you're already kinda doing if you're reading this, so hello! 

This week's mission: THE TRIAL OF RICK AND MORTY SEASON 3! Is it amazing, shitty, or more of the same? Our guests play judge, jury and executor, Judge Dredd style! Also, much like Judge Dredd, it would be better if Karl Urban was there.

AND: We play another new game, "BEST OR THE WORST," where our panelists discuss their favorite and least-favorite entries in the MCU! But first, I have to teach these fucking clowns what the MCU is. Can you believe these people?

THIS WEEK'S MISSION:

Showtime, folks! In our sixth chapter, we discuss the pros and cons of Bean Bunny's addition to the Muppet-verse, get pretty fucking pedantic about Guardians of the Galaxy 2, and learn about the wonders of "Sperm Jacking."

THIS WEEK'S MISSION:

It's college reunion time in Ten Forward! Or in Quark's, or the Zocalo, just pick a sci-fi bar, we're drinkin' in it!

This week, my old college comedy buddies and I play a little Counselor Troivia, and then talk about ALF for not nearly long enough. 

Listen! Enjoy!

THIS WEEK'S MISSION:

We got some jokes about Earth: Final Conflict in this one!

Sure, we talk about some more relevant stuff like Guardians of the Galaxy II and the new trailer for The Dark Tower, but I'm very proud of myself for doing jokes about Earth: Final Conflict before my inevitable heart attack later this month. Enjoy, folks!

THIS WEEK'S MISSION:

The best movie in any trilogy is the third one! Return Of The Jedi had those adorable Ewoks! The Matrix Revolutions had even MORE exposition! And Back To The Future 3 had a scene where Marty McFly was hung from a tree...EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT TO SEE IN A BACK TO THE FUTURE MOVIE!

So is it any shock that our third episode is our best episode yet? In this week's adventure, Claudia Cogan, Eric Larnick, Pete the Retailer and I talk about the TV show Jeopardy for twenty minutes to figure out what we can steal from it. Then we talk about sci-fi, I guess? Whatever, just listen!
