Last week we boldly went so far that we needed a whole other episode to come back. As a result this episode gives you the second part of our exploration of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. In this episode we tackle such questions as “does a legal procedural work in space?”, “how many times can you bust a series’ format before it’s too many?”, and “how many original series characters do you need to have before it’s too many?” Along the way we discuss musicals, genetic augments, and relationships. We also talk about missed opportunities and what we hope to get out of the third season.

As this is the second part of a panel there is no five-minute controversy for this week.

This week Stephanie is cohost and James and Keith join the cast.

Joining me for July is the Lady Hiss to my Skullivan, the one and only Lindsay Smith! She talks about her years working as a character designer and co-art lead on “Solar Opposites”, and her new role on the forthcoming “Rick & Morty” spin-off series “President Curtis”! Then we have a thorough discussion of the Netflix monster hit animated feature “KPop Demon Hunters” for which I decided to Takedown many notes while drinking Soda Pop until I was DONE DONE DONE! I also read your comments from the Flopcast crossover, including literally 20 questions from listener Josh “Rugdog” Ruggles! Just when you thought this might actually be a short episode, nope!

Flopcast episode 691! If you’ve just been waiting all Summer long for The Flopcast’s annual robot-themed Top 4½ List… well, first, what’s wrong with you? Go to the beach or something. But also… here it is! Our theme this year is “recycled robots.” Sometimes a robot would be designed for some movie or TV show, and then later repurposed for some other movie or TV show. Forbidden Planet’s Robby the Robot is the prime example. Robby had a decades-long career popping up in one project after another. A few oddball robots even started making appearances in the real world, so you could meet them at nightclubs or shopping malls. We’ll look at a few of these jobbing journeyman robots (four and a half of them, to be exact), and we have a special guest to show us the way. Our old pal Chris Cummins, host of Sci-Fi Explosion and expert on all manner of bizarro pop culture, is back! Chris knows a thing or two about weird robots. And now you will too.

Job obligations and SDCC announcements derailed our attempts to bring you a show reviewing last week’s episode, so this week we’re going to do our best to talk about two episodes — “Shuttle to Kenfori” (episode 3) and “A Space Adventure Hour” (episode 4). It’s ambitious, but I think we can do it!

Earth Station Trek is a part of the ESO Podcast Network, Executive Producer Mike Faber.

The Music of 1985

This week we turn our musical chronometer back 40 years to talk about the albums that were released in 1985!

We share funny stories and fond memories relating to albums by Talking Heads, Dire Straits, Tears for Fears, Heart, the Hooters, Run-D.M.C., Megadeth, Marillion, the Smiths, and even Hoodoo Guru and Pseudo Echo (remember them??), plus many others. 

As always, we have a Spotify playlist to accompany this episode that you can access HERE.

We’re watching Star Trek: Enterprise Season 2, Episode 10 “Vanishing Point,” but only Maria has actually watched the episode. Watch as Jamie, Bill, and our special guest Kevin try to figure out what the heck is going on in this episode. Is it an alternate universe? A time shift? Or just plain old misogyny? The answer will almost certainly disappoint you. We’re joined by Kevin, from The Flopcast podcast, who is just as confused as the rest of us!

Batman ’66 S2 Ep29 – The Cat’s Meow

The Catwoman “steals” the voice of a television talk-show host in the middle of an interview with Bruce Wayne. She plants clues to suggest either the Joker, Riddler or Penguin may have committed the crime. In the meantime, she has fooled Commissioner Gordon into thinking she has gone straight. She makes her first mistake when she masquerades as Miss Klutz, a dance instructor visiting Wayne Manor. Allergic to dogwood, she sneezes and gives herself away. Her next target is to “steal” the voices of British singers Chad and Jeremy. Batman and Robin eventually track her to a dance studio, where a fight erupts. After it appears the Dynamic Duo has triumphed over Catwoman’s forces, she drugs them. The heroes are placed inside a chamber where the sounds of water dripping will be magnified many, many times and drive them insane.

Flopcast episode 690! We’re packing all our summer concert reports into one big show! First it’s Aimee Mann in New Hampshire with her regular opener (and no stranger to the nerd world) Jonathan Coulton. (As longtime Aimee fans, we’re still a little grumpy about missing the recent ‘Til Tuesday reunion show…) Then we have two shows from the same exhausting weekend! First up is “Weird Al” Yankovic, who brought his Bigger and Weirder Tour (with weird opening act Puddles Pity Party) to a giant casino in Connecticut. Then the very next night, there was REO Speedwagon (sort of) and Styx, with opener Don Felder of the Eagles, at Great Woods back here in Massachusetts. (Mr. Roboto, we’ve missed you.) It was a fine bunch of super-fun nostalgic shows (including some random meetups with old friends of the Flopcast), and now we’re ready to flop over and relax until Dragon Con. But do you still have any summer concerts coming up? If you’re planning to Wang Chung tonight, do please let us know.

Earth Station Boo dives deep into the eerie and enigmatic world of David Lynch, one of horror’s most unconventional visionaries. From Eraserhead to Twin Peaks and beyond, we explore how Lynch’s surreal approach to storytelling has shaped the horror genre. Is his unique blend of psychological terror and dreamlike surrealism what makes his work so unsettling, or has he strayed too far from traditional horror? We examine the hidden horrors within the everyday, the themes of duality in his films, and the lasting impact of Eraserhead on experimental horror. Plus, we debate which of Lynch’s works stand out as masterpieces and which might be overrated. Join us as we unravel the mysteries of Lynch’s dark and fascinating career.
