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...

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...

SPECIAL PRESENTATION: STAR TREK: SECTION 31~! I know I’m sitting on a huge backlog of unreleased episodes, but we couldn’t wait to drop our thoughts on Section 31! Although since this movie is destined to be a perennial favorite I’m sure it wouldn’t matter when we drop this. It’s a big boy packed with a squad as memorable and beloved as that in Section 31. Enjoy!

While the Prodigy kids finally meet the REAL Janeway and her cronies, guest Kregg Castillo finally meets the XINDI! It’s outrageous! Also, Okona is in this episode for some reason, and that we means we get to reminisce on all the ways that TNG Season 2 was such remarkable television. Kregg doesn&t remember Okona, and Jack also has some startling revelations about Prodigy that he already should have known. Oh, and ANDOR TALK! It’s all here, and it’s all outrageous!

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...

Jaxilly has assimilated a new guest, adding Beau Mathew’s knowledge of video games and Japanese language tests to its own. Listeners, I’m telling you, resistance is futile! The day Jack had dreaded and hoped, as recently as the previous episode, would never arrive, is here (in late 2022, I mean). It’s Prodigy’s BABY’S FIRST BORG episode. Does it stand a chance, or is it as worthless to us as a Kazon is to the Borg? The only way to find out is to listen to these two interlocutors drone on to each other. JOIN THE JAXILLY HIVE MIND.

Prodigy is back (this was WAY before it was canceled), and so is the PD Crew! That·s right, the Prodigy Debut Crew (aka Super Rios Bros) is back, and they couldn·t be happier than to be talking about Barniss. Fucking. FREX and some of the other less important characters. But first, Jack is going to spend an absurdly long time guessing who·s in a Marvel movie that everyone has already seen, and the fellas are gonna touch on what makes TNG unique, talk Babylon 5, reminisce on why cops are scary, and quote Eminem a lot. And hope that Prodigy never, ever, ever, does a Borg episode.

Jaxilly’s coverage of the Lower Decks season 3 finale is finally released, and you’ll never guess the amazing stars Jack has gathered for this loving tribute to the Golden State. It’s two of SoCal’s most golden, SoCal Scarf boys Sam Stovold and Sean Davis! In addition to their thoughts on this exciting finale, you’ll hear a characteristic AI rant, explore the murky origins of Continuity Carlos, go on a Qualor deep dive, and celebrate some California Love! And that isn’t even mentioning a special surprise appearance by two of hip-hop and R&B’s biggest stars,...

WARNING: If this is your first time listening to this podcast, DO NOT start here, theoretical fan who’s just itching to hear some takes on the 9th episode of Season 3 of Lower Decks in August 2024. For JAXILLY SUPERFANS ONLY (how’s that for some gatekeeping; rather, trying desperately to keep the gates open). For fans of podcasts on life support that should have died, but have instead been cobbled together from FOUR different recordings recorded in THREE separate calendar years, have we got the five hour masterstroke for you here! Never has anyone struggled so...
