Amok Time (Star Trek: TOS) vs. Ewoks: The Battle for Endor (Star Wars)

We start S2 of Star Trek TOS in style - with our friend Marc Vibbert and Michael Sawran from The Holdo Maneuver Podcast. This epic episode digs deep into guests' relationships with both Star Wars and Star Trek.

Mike and Mark also suffer through Ewoks: The Battle for Endor. Kenny and Aspen talk about Vulcan culture and its synthesizing of "alien" cultures to Western society. We also get into the making of Ewoks: The Battle for Endor and the Wilford Brimley of it all.

A Taste of Armageddon (Star Trek: TOS) vs. Sunstar vs. Shadowstone (Star Wars: Ewoks)
Aspen and I talk about MORALISM IN ART! Also, Logray the Shaman is a stone cold BAMF, which makes Kenny drag out one of his soapboxes. And Aspen waxes rhapsodic about what the heck makes a civilization. I think we solved it all this time, folks.
