Mike and Jim discuss and debate the Star Trek franchise. But since Mike is not a fan and has not seen much of it, this episode was based on watching two television episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation followed by watching the movie Star Trek: First Contact.

Mike and Jim discuss Stand-up Comedy, including how it differs from sketch comedy and sitcoms, which is mostly what Jim has seen without knowing many of those performers are also stand-up comedians. They also discuss how stand-up is the rawest, most honest form of comedy, which is why it can be seen as offensive or controversial at times, but without stand-up comedy a lot of important conversations about difficult to discuss topics would never happen.  

(This episode of the Fanboy and the Hater includes even more profanity than usual, and occasionally includes language and topics some may find offensive. Therefore, listener discretion is f**king advised.)

Mike and Jim discuss and debate Movies vs. TV, including their preferences, movies that should have been TV shows (and vice versa), how long a movie should be, how many seasons/episodes a TV series should have, remaking old TV shows as movies, whether a movie or TV franchise should keep going, and when it makes sense for a franchise to do both movies and TV shows.
