Those Sci-Fi Guys

The guys open up with hot football talk and how DT spent his Sunday at the Pat’s game to watch them lay a goose egg. Mack asks if Bellichek is on the way out, then he states how his Trojans are on thin ice with their defense. They then transition into different shows that were parodies of Sci-Fi staples Like Space Balls and Galaxy Quest. They then get into the rabbit hole with some Robot Chicken as well.

Time to discuss the entire Ahsoka season. The guys go over the good, the bad, and the ugly. And Mack does what he always does, tossing a nice cold bucket of water on DT’s fun by discussing the writing mishaps and how the format of Disney Plus shows is not at all conducive to a satisfying watch.

The guys take the time to discuss Patrick Stewart’s newly released memoire, Making It So. Mack reads excerpts from an article about some neat tidbits into what happened on the set of TNG. Then they get into the things they are excited for in the next few months with coming movies and TV shows.

The go through the first two episodes that came out and what they liked and really didn’t dislike. Mack has new drops to debut as well.

The guys discuss their favorite Irish music and how DT went to a concert in Newport with his family. Then they get into what Star Wars Rebels was about. Mack did a retrospective rewatch of the pilot and discusses how it was a promising, if clunky and kiddy version of Disney Star Wars. DT delves deeper into the mythos of Rebels and talk about how it relates to the setup of Ahsoka and what to expect from that upcoming season.

Time to know what the guys think of Ahsoka! They talk about what they like, the teases, the fact that this is Rebels Season 5 and that’s OK. Overall excited to see where the season goes.

The guys are in mourning over the loss of Jimmy Buffett. They spend the show talking about his ties to Sci-Fi, and how his music influenced their lives in many different ways.

The guys decide to pitch their own ideas on the next step for Star Wars as a movie franchise. DT wants to explore the time between Episodes 6 and 7, Mack wants to move forward with an extragalactical enemy. Then they explore how Star Trek can continue as a TV show, exploring the potential of the post Dominion War time, and the fact that the Delta Quadrant is wide open for exploitation since the Borg were eliminated.

They’re finally doing it! It’s time to get what the guys think of Season 2 of SNW! And you probably already know how Mack will react. DT makes an insightful Family Guy reference in how the two work together when they discuss the show and their hopes for the future.

The guys open up the discussion to their love of general movies including actors like James Caan, Denzel Washington and Christopher Walken. Then they are interrupted by Mack’s crappy internet going out. Coming back from the break, Mack discusses a commentary video about the Ahsoka series and why the articles about it aren’t calling fans nasty names.
