Get your nerd books out, dorks! It's time to talk about a science-fiction movie for losers called Star Trek: Section 31, every Trekkie's favourite foray into deep space with everyone's favourite quick-witted classic Trek characters. Resident Star Trek-perts Ben and Jason join this motley gang of nerdlingers to discuss genocidal protagonists, Guardians of the Galaxy plot beats, the awful "phase case" scene, plot twists that make no sense, Jamie Lee Curtis jump scares and much more. Plus: a haunting real-life story about Brendan's near-encounter with Richard Hatch.
Next week: gaaaaaaaaaaames.
What We've Been Watching:
Nathan: "Mayor of Kingstown"
Ben: The Caine Mutiny, "Lower Decks"
Jason: "Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2" (videogame)
