A LOT of Star Wars news happened and a little Star Trek news happened. So Aspen walks Kenny through all of the things he should be excited about. Aspen provides a palette setter for the Ahsoka TV show, walks him through casting news, and Kenny attempts to deliver some Star Trek news as well!

Battlestar Galactica Miniseries (2003) vs. Stargate (1994)
Content Warning: Gun Violence, Violence and Children

Joel T. Partner ushers in the next phase of the podcast. We discuss how Rahm Emanuel plays a shell game with his pacing. Aspen teases out the subtleties of Jack O’Neil’s backstory. Kenny asks the most critical question: Are 5th Avenue bars delicious? Aspen remembers to never forget. Joel mixes up IEDs and IDEs. Kenny spins a yarn about the legend known as Ronald D. Moore. Joel finds religion. Kenny’s into noodles, and Aspen’s into gimbals.

The podcast finally has games!

Next time, prepare yourself for Miami Vice (Pilot Ep: “Brother’s Keeper”) (1984) and 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003)!

We break format and we compare these two seismic, but disappointing films. Kenny compares Roddenberry and Lucas, talking about the odd parallel development of these films. Meanwhile, Aspen looooves podracing and struggles to get through V'Ger.

Who wins? You do! Buckle in for a barnburner of an episode.

The Return of the Archons (Trek: TOS) vs. The Land of the Gupins (Wars: Ewoks)

We have two episodes that talk about prophecies, religion, and the death of diversity! Kenny talks about the possible influences that Tolkien had on Ewoks. Aspen talks about the effectiveness of propaganda (specifically, through Top Gun: Maverick).

And we chat a LOT about AI art because Kirk talks a computer to death.

Court Martial (Trek: TOS) vs. The Revenge of Kybo Ren (Wars: Droids)

Aspen ponders the most important question: Can we get Elijah Wood on the podcast? We talk about which is more important to pop culture – Star Wars or Lord of the Rings. Aspen talks about the greatness of Cree Summer. Kenny talks about the "fall of a great man" trope. And we chat about the push pull of realistic political fiction versus aspirational fiction.

Arena (Trek: TOS) vs. The Pirates of Tarnoonga (Wars: Droids)

We shout out our first bird listener!

We also reveal a real, actual conspiracy theory about The Force Awakens lifting liberally from...Droids? Kenny also makes the argument that Star Wars is cooler because there's less sex. He also posits that Arena is about "Both-sides-ism." Aspen talks about cultural absolutism vs. cultural relativism. And Kenny is afraid of tiny lizards because they'll tickle him.

The Squire of Gothos (Trek: TOS) vs. The Tree of Light (Wars: Ewoks)

We start off with bread talk (specifically, The Force Awakens). Aspen fights her nap brain and debates on if the word "foppish" is offensive. We also ponder on if Star Wars is more omnipresent in culture, debate the merits of movies vs. TV, and Aspen stans for deserts.

Aspen also talks about the connecting themes of strength and power without purpose, along with how those who exert power over others pointlessly are viewed as children.
