149 - No-Win Scenario (PIC3x04) (with Barm, Sam Stovold, and Richard Dunham)
Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery, Short Treks & Podcast
As Picard Season 3 wears on, Richard joins in on the fun, Sam checks in again, and everyone kind of agrees that they’re sort of enjoying it, kind of? We fill Sam in on Worf and Raffi (missing from this ep), try to remember the deal with Odo’s bucket, find surprising parallels with the Yuuzhan Vong (look it up!), talk Star Trek books, delve deep into the mind of dipshit from Chicago Shaw, try to figure out why the hell Picard (the show) is the way it is, and talk more Mando season 3! Stay tuned for an important public service announcement about men’s health.

148 - Seventeen Seconds (PIC3x03) (with Barm and Kregg Castillo)
Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery, Short Treks & Podcast
Barm and Kregg (Sneed is in the previously on) return for more Picard, and everyone sort of agrees that this is maybe kinda sorta an improvement on the last two episodes. Especially, a scene between Bevs and Jean-Luc has our knickers in a twist. Barm also goes off on Boomers, Jack goes off on Zoomers who don’t know what Boomers are, Kregg is amused, but we all agree that Shaw is Gen-X. We still can’t figure out whether Beverly is in Starfleet or not, but we do know Jack Crusher is the oldest-looking early twenty-something we’ve ever seen. Packs a hell of a K-O...

147 - Disengage (3x02) (with Barm, Kev Young & Kregg Castillo)
Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery, Short Treks & Podcast
Ferengi expert Kregg Castillo, who is enjoying this season of Picard more than most, is back to help us figure out SNEEEEEEED, the first (speaking) Ferengi we’ve seen in live-action since that silly old Enterprise episode back in the day. Does he pass muster? Does WORF pass muster? Can Picard EVER get its fill of literal heads rolling? But we’re also talking about a much stranger configuration of G-Unit than the one you know, really homing in on whether Jack Crusher is supposed to be annoying or not, reiterating that birds are evil, wondering what Star Trek episode...

146 - The Next Generation (PIC3x01) (with Barm, Sam Stovold and Kev Young)
Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery, Short Treks & Podcast
Picard is BACK, and of course that means the PD Crew is on the case. If Picard can get the ol’ gang back together, why couldn’t Jaxilly? But does the PD Crew LIKE what Picard is hawking? (Shriking?) Spoiler alert: Not really, but we’re having as much fun chewing on this content here as Captain Shaw does chewing his dinner and also being annoyed by Picard and Riker and their harebrained schemes. It’s early 2023, obviously, so Antman and the Wasp in Quantumania (remember that?) is on everyone’s minds, but we’re also comparing Jellico to Shaw, gushing over...

145 - Supernova, Pt. 2 (PRO1x19) (with Barm)
Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery, Short Treks & Podcast
As Season one of Prodigy draws to a close (in 2023), Jack gets together with Barm for the first time in a while to discuss Prodigy and how the season finale of this CGI kids show packs in more classic Trek heart and soul than entire seasons of Discovery manage to. But they’re also litigating the usage of speed anthems in early aughts racing movie trailers, talking Ludacris, trying to figure out what exactly warrant officers are, My Little Pony and other Jon de Lancie projects, and some surprising information about Dr. No. It’s as explosive as the Protostar!

144 - Supernova, Pt. 1 (PRO1x18) (with Sam Stovold and Sean Davis)
Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery, Short Treks & Podcast
Ring in the new year…. 2023…. in July 2025 (why not, it’s Jaxilly!) in this very special episode where three drunk guys are awash in residual holiday cheer and bonding over how this little Star Trek kids show that no one believed in is somehow building up to one of the most heartwrenching and tense finales in Trek history. Over a bottle of smoky Scotch (among other things), Jack, Sam and Sean explain the surprising way Return of the Jedi changed all media forever, celebrate the triumphant return of Jellico, imagine a George Lucas / Ira Steven Behr creative partnership, fail to...

143 - Mindwalk (PRO1x17) (with Kev Young)
Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery, Short Treks & Podcast
Rottweiler Kev is back for a body-swap Bonanza! As they witness V.A. Janeway and Dal making a real mess of things in each other’s bodies, Kev and Jack reminisce on similar scenarios in Trek history, Jack shows off his hip-hop bona fides by declaring his love for numerous rap duos YOU’VE probably never heard of, Kev swaps bodies with someone who’d rather talk about ANYTHING other than James Bond, and they both are the first to hear what is surely going to THE summer jam of 2025! …. All the way back in 2022.

142 - Ghost in the Machine (PRO1x16) (with Sam Stovold)
Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery, Short Treks & Podcast
Sam is back for Baby’s First Holodeck misadventure! As he and Jack enjoy some classic Trek holodeck tropes, they also find time to investigate intriguing British changes to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, display their knowledge of various iterations of Jonny Quest, reminisce about the Year of Luigi, discuss what makes a good plane movie, try to recall fictional Marvel countries, elucidate what good can be Salva(tion)ged from shitty Terminator sequels, relive 90’s southern California talk radio, and in a very special Bond Talk session, Sam reports on his recent trip to London.

141 - Preludes (PRO1x15) (with Sean Davis)
Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery, Short Treks & Podcast
After starting out with some straight-up blasphemy, things only get worse from there as Jack and guest Sean Davis dig their way to hell with some Polish jokes and penis talk as they celebrate Pearl Harbor Day while talking about this CGI animated Star Trek show for children. Aren’t you glad we’re back? Don’t worry, we’re also getting esoteric with topics like the sovereignty of various Mediterranean islands, origins of nation names, alien lifespans, weird national borders, the origins of popular German stereotypes, what Prodigy does right with origin stories, and their...

140 - Masquerade (PRO1x14) (with Geoff Clarke)
Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery, Short Treks & Podcast
Jaxilly, like the Romulans, is BACK! Apologies for the delay, the hard drive with all the recordings was basically held hostage by a lunatic repairman for FIVE months, but it’s now back in my hands and repaired thanks to my pops! Expect episodes on a regular basis, starting with THIS ONE, in which Jack and Geoff talk about Masquerade, the fourteenth episode of Star Trek: Prodigy! It’s where Dal finds out what he really is! And we find out what WE are, or at least what we were in November 2022. Guys who talk a LOT about things like the return of Jellico, some...

Guess who’s back? Well, in addition to the spirits of the original Enterprise crew (the NC-1701’s, not the NX) (no, not Pike or April’s, Kirk’s crew) (Yes, the ones from the original SHOW) crew, living on through the will of these weird aliens, it’s Kev, to talk about an initially pretty wild episode of Prodigy with one of the strangest premises we’ve ever seen. Kev and Jack really dive into the nuts and bolts of how and more importantly, IF this episode can even make sense, and bring to life the guy from one episode of TOS who started it all. You’ll find it even more fun than constantly annoying everyone around you with a third-rate Shatner impression.
