    G&G 198 – “A Generation’s Final Journey Begins.” We finally made it; the end of the Star Trek movie series! Well, the originals anyway. “Arthur_Dent_6x7” once again returns for a video games check in and to chat all things Romulan, Reman, and clones as we wrap up the TNG films. We also rank the 4 TNG films and then do a mega rank of all 10 original Trek movies.

    G&G 195 – “How old are you?” As we near the end of our Trek film retrospective, it’s time to shake things up and not read the plot! The gang gathers for the next entry in the TNG movie world; the longest episode of Star Trek ever. We chat about all the funny lines in the movie, recycled plot points, bad admirals, argue about the Dominion War, Trek did the MCU first, and so much more. Cue up “A British Tar” from HMS Pinafore and download our shortest episode about the longest trek episode!

  • Star Trek: First Contact

    Star Trek: First Contact

    G&G 187 – “Resistance is Futile!” It’s time to tackle one of the most fondly discussed Trek movies and engage the borg! “Arthur_Dent_6x7” naturally returns to give initial thoughts and impressions of Strange New Worlds and E_HUFFY goes an entire episode without bashing “New Trek.” We assimilate all avenues of the film; the Borg Queen and how many of her there are, Lily being the best character, memorable lines, influence on video games, a hilarious tale of E_HUFFY running into Ethan Phillips (Neelix/Maiter d’) in an elevator, and so much more. Hurry and download this episode because this is no time to argue about time, we don’t have the time!

    This series will return for Star Trek: Insurrection.

    Star Trek: Generations

    G&G 184 – “Two captains. One destiny.” We’ve reached the next phase of our Star Trek film retrospective series and it’s time to chat all things Picard and crew! “Arthur_Dent_6x7” naturally returns to give initial thoughts and impressions of Picard season 2 before taking a deep dive into the movie. 8 year old E_HUFFY saw the film in theaters so we get some insight as events unfold, discuss the (earned) use of swearing, favorite moments, ship battles, model work vs. CGI, bridge on the captain, and take on so called “film critics” and solidify their irrelevance! There’s no time to waste in downloading this episode because time is the fire in which we burn!

    This series will return for Star Trek: First Contact.
