| 60th Anniversary! | 29 Sep 2026 | 01:44:29 | |
The Star Trek 60th-anniversary reunion episode! The bridge crew is back, and they have opinions. We kick off by carving a Mount Rushmore of American rock bands, then get to why modern Star Trek keeps missing the mark: streaming budgets, prestige-TV ambitions, and a cliffhanger style borrowed from airport thrillers. From there we look back on ten years of the podcast, including our favorite moments, the Voyager slog, and what we'd do differently. The episode wraps with Nolan's Batman trilogy, the new Resident Evil, and whether physical media is worth holding on to now that PlayStation is dropping the disc drive. Grab your last bottle of Star Trek wine and settle in. Timestamps:
