We are back with TNG! This episode was supposed to be last episode, but January has been a long decade and we mixed up a few things on accident.  We talk about an episode whose A and B storyline couldn't be more different, and find a lot of joy in talking about the boy with the many sweaters, Mr. Wesley Crusher. In "Coming of Age" he takes the Starfleet Academy exam for the first (and not the...

The New Year's stress may have already gotten to us, but that's no reason not to talk about Star Trek! This week we tackled The Masterpiece Society and took a look at how the future deals with disabilty and genetically engineered humans.  We both had quite a bit to say about this one and may have drifted into a philosophical discussion or two.  If you want to add to that discussion:&nbsp...

Spoiler warning for Spider-Man!  Tis the season to talk about Spider-Man, drink some mulled wine and open geeky presents!

Together with our talented editor friend and fellow nerd Selina we shared our likes and dislikes, talked about the themes of redem...

Content Warning: sexual assault and rape  We are finally starting with Star Trek: The Next Generation! We are so excited and therefore started with one of the worst episodes imaginable, 5x06 "The Game". As we center around Wesley Crusher in our first few episodes, this is a great introduction to the wits and brains this young man has. This episode has everything you can imagine (well, maybe n...

We're back on the MCU train to discuss the latest movie: Eternals! Fitting for the season we shared some festive drinks while we talked about the great cinematography, characters and what possibilities have opened up for the future of the Marvel universe. This episode is a little silly, so it should be the one for you if you need a little mid-week cheer up! If you want to give us some pointers on...

This is a random one, everyone! Without a specific topic we scrolled through Tumblr and Twitter and talked about some things that came up, such as: life in covid, Queerbaiting in the CW, our current reads, celebrity crushes and the latest change in the Social Media world, Facebook's new name "Meta"! We also played a few rounds of Barclay's Day aka our version of Fuck, Marry, Kill! This definitely...

Even though this...

Welcome to our first "mini" episode!  We sped right through our talk about all episodes of Marvel's What If...? TV show and still had time to dunk on Chris Pratt, talk about the Bedazzled Cumberbun and speculate about the potential queer rep in upcoming projects! So we'd love for you to join us in the first out of two episodes that was fueled by Halloween endorphins! You can reach out to us via em...

All sandwiched between laughter and Alex's sporadic sneezes, as the world is slowly trying to k...

Welcome to the first part of our discussion on Star Trek Beyond! We finally got to talk about our favorite AOS movie and look at the great characterization, humor and even political theories that it had to offer.

We have fun discussing the film a second time around and also manage to start some tiny ethical discussions on Khan's superblood and more! This time we had a lot of fun and were also highly entertained by the r...

Tis time for AOS: Into Darkness! After the death of Alex's late laptop we had to re-record the episode and did so a few weeks after originally watching the movie. Therefore our knowledge of the plot is somewhat inadequate and the need for Benedict Cumberbatch puns is high! This week we discuss the first half of the film and share our opinions on the role of women in this film. We also talk about c...

We are talking all things Loki!  With Marvel's newest Disney+ - show fully released we took some time out of our day and talked about the "Loki"-show. As we are both big fans of the character, we had a lot of thoughts on how he was portrayed, his journey and about him coming into his own. We also discussed the big elephant in the room and the first canon queer representation in the MCU that w...

We did it! We saw a movie in cinema! We actually left the house!  Today we are reviewing the newest MCU movie, "Black Widow". We both have been waiting for a Natasha Romanoff solo-project for forever and are therefore extremely hyped about seeing more about her character and getting to talk about her. In this episode we share our likes and dislikes on the film and we dive into what it means t...

We are back for one last TOS episode (for now). This week is all about the one and only James T. Kirk!

Our discussion doesn't only include his job as a Captain, but also what he means to the people around him and...

We are back on the Star Trek horse and continue with a new episode discussion, this time on "This Side of Paradise". After Paula explains what happens in the episode, we jump right into a discussion on it. We talk about themes and characters, what the special flowers do to their brains, and why their behaviour is mostly chill, except for when Dr. McCoy wants to beat a guy into a hospital. This one...

Together we talk about his character, his personality and his character growth and we also talk about the relationship he builds over time and universes! Not only is he one of the few Star Trek char...

This episode is a serious one. We talk about the TOS epsiode "Patterns of Force", which is set on a planet that is similar to Nazi Germany. We are taking a look at the episode and discuss its use of language, how propaganda plays a role in the society portrayed and why facism is dangerous and problematic. We also think about the similarities between the society portrayed in "Patterns of Force" and...
