    May 28 2026

    Somehow, a Star Trek movie with Tom Hardy and Ron Perlman as baddies is probably one of the worst Star Trek movie ever made. Feels hard to do on purpose.

  • Take Phlox's Wife, Please!
    May 5 2026

    This week, Clayton and Mattie watch Season 2, Episode 14 "Stigma," and talk about the week that was on February 5, 2003. A wild thing happens this week, which is that the episode is pretty good and its A- and B-plots tied together? Also, it turns out that Denobulans have invented HIGHLY hierarchical polyamory.
