The guys are joined by YouTube Creator and author Scary Fairy Godmother, AKA Cecily Walters!. They go over the birth of her YouTube channel, how she got started telling Fairy stories. Then they go into their own tales of high strangeness as Mack fanboys’ out rather unflatteringly. Finally, they review how she went about writing her book, The Ghosts of Nothing, and how she started with a screenplay idea then decided to take a chance on the novel. To close out, they all discuss the potential involvement of AI in storytelling and Art.

The guys discuss Cavman’s trip to RI Comicon 2024. He met Katee Sackhoff and Jonathan Frakes as well as Michael Dorn. They discuss how nerd culture is weirdly accepted now compared to how they grew up which is refreshing. And Cavman exalts the community of a fan con.

It’s that time again where Lower Decks is back and the guys review the first two episodes. They review the history of the Blue Orions in Star Trek Canon (they exist, much to Mack’s surprise). They talk about how Mariner and Boimler are growing as characters and Mack gets mad at the writers for not understanding the economics of the Federation.

We have a special guest back with us! James Friedman is here to review the movie Alien by Ridley Scott. They go over the background of the special effects and the way the movie is a slow burn. But then Mack brings up an editing inconsistency near the end that the guys cannot defend and they get confused on the viability of the movie.

In reverence to the final season of What We Do In the Shadows, the guys go over the first five episodes of season one. This is the first time that DT has been introduced to the show and he enjoyed it beyond watching just the first two required episodes.

The guys continue Spooky Season by discussing Witches in History and in entertainment. They discuss the dark side of the Salem Witch Trials and how it was more about people taking advantage of others to gain property. They go into other parts of pop culture and how their portrayals have changed over time.

The guys discuss the Legend of Sleepy Hollow and go through the different iterations, starting with the original text, then the Disney animation from 1949. They discuss Tim Burton’s Film and then the Fox TV show from 2013. All in all, they appreciated how there was a slice of persistent American Folklore that exists ad thrives with our imaginations year in and out.

The guys take the opportunity to watch and review the latest Star Trek fan film: Farragut Forward. They go over the story and how the Captain of the USS Farragut was kidnapped and the crew must band together and seek allies in order to launch a daring rescue. They rave about the quality of the effects, the sets and uniforms. Take a listen as the guys enjoy the show and implore for more from Kaotica Productions.
