Temporal Culture War

In this bonus episode, Clayton and Mattie watch the movie that killed the Jason franchise, 2001 (but really 2002)'s JASON X. Star Trek casting synchronicity is abound! And we don't just mean David Cronenberg. Head to https://temporalculturewar.com/ to join our Patreon and listen! Just one(!) dollar a month.

On May 8th, 2002, Star Trek: Enterprise aired not one, but two episodes in a single night. This wasn't a big deal at the time, but decades later, the hosts of a Star Trek: Enterprise podcast that focuses on covering culture released in the same week would have to scramble for something else to talk about. They settled on video games. And Clancy Brown.

PROTIP: Blast the theme song at 1.5 speed. It rips! Mattie gets to yell about Lagaan ! We debut a brand-new STINGER! This week we're talking about Season 1, Episode 23 of Enterprise "Fallen Hero," and the week of May 8, 2002. Buy Mattie's book why not!

Okay. There's a lot of cum talk in this one. But it's not our fault. Blame Season 1, Episode 22 of Enterprise "Vox Sola," and the week of May 1, 2002. This one is like a beautiful gift, wrapped in a big wet clump of saran wrap and snot. Here's that news report we talked about: https://youtu.be/QYbDcIyzP_o?si=Kw1OywsinAaUbHpg Also regarding the Trees we talk about, Clayton was talking about Aspens...

This week it's episode 21 of season 1: "Detained" and the week of April 24, 2002. We've got THREE weeks of "stuff" to cover this week. Which: turns out a lot! Anyway, Dean Stockwell is in this one, where we find out: not ALL Suliban are evil, you RACIST! Preorder Mattie's book, or come see her on book tour ! Remember, it's T'Pol. Like "Polyamory."

We watched the West Wing 9/11 episode. We did it. This way lies madness....on the Patreon !

This week we're talking about Season 1, Episode 20 "Oasis," and the week of April 3, 2002. Odo is in this one! What else is happening in it? Well, not a lot. Also, are we in the end of "the long 2001"? Fingies crossed! Read Spencer Ackerman's "This Is The Beginning of The End of The 9/11 Era." Catch Mattie on book tour!

This week, Mattie and Clayton talk about episode 19 of season 1: "ACQUISITION" and the week of March 27, 2002. The news is a bummer but it's an incredible week at the cinema! And also: A good (?) episode (?) of Star Trek Enterprise (???????) Who thought this was even possible. Who could have IMAGINED in their wildest dreams! But despite one plot hole that drove Mattie over the edge: it's true!

This week, we're talking season 1, episode 18 "Rogue Planet" and the week of March 20, 2001. The episode's a clunker but we get to talk about the "Ice Age" franchise and also FOX's celebrity boxing!

For our inaugural entry in 2001 canon of "huh, that movie came out?" we scoured the Internet for the most popular movie of September 7th, 2001, the last weekend before everything changed. This wire-fu retelling of the classic (?) swashbuckling tale of the French King's secret service detail should not have stunts this good, but that's what happens when you hire talent. Sitcoms with puppets are als...

This week, Clayton and Mattie watch episode 17 of season 1, "Fusion," and talk about February 27, 2001. Please enter our new and experimental mind meld. With your permission, of course! The news this week is: heavy! The episode is: Fine! You can support Clayton + his comrades here .

Where could Enterprise S1E16 "Shuttlepod One" be taking place? Well, we find out, as well as what was going on in the culture the week of February 13, 2002. Pop in your DVD copy of Rollerball and settle in – who knows when rescue could come!

Shran fans rejoice! We discuss the season 1 episode "Shadows of P'Jem" and baby? Daddy (Shran) is home (in the episode!!!) Meanwhile in 2001, the New England Patriots and also their friend Bono are here to make us so mad for some reason.

Head on over to our Patreon and listen to the whole thing! Just one dollar a month! We take a journey back to the heady days of the late 90s: Stuart Little and Santana are there, history has ended, and we're Blue (Da ba dee da ba di). Oh, and somehow a movie that got hacked to pieces in the edit ended up being one of the greatest spoof movies of all time: Galaxy Quest.

This week, Mattie and Clayton talk about season 1 episode 14 "Sleeping Dogs," in which some Klingons...do something?? while their ship sinks into something or other. Meanwhile, in the year 2001, the "Real West Wing" airs.

This week, Clayton and Mattie talk about culture the week of January 23, 2002 and S1E13: Dear Doctor. We talk about the madness that occurred over the holidays at the end of 2001 and into early 2002, and also a PHLOX! heavy ep of Enterprise. Let's go!

This week, Clayton and Mattie talk about culture the week of January 16, 2002 and S1E12: Silent Enemy. The crew is besieged by a mysterious and dangerous enemy, but more importantly they try to figure out Malcom's favorite food for some reason. Want to support the show?

(Hey everyone we're BACK from our little hiatus (sorry) with a BONUS EPISODE and our NEW (cheap) Patreon! Head over to Temporalculturewar.com to hear the rest of this one –– we'll be doing a little bonus about once a month, just to defray the costs of hosting etc! ) Clayton and Mattie have a nice time talking about 1996's Star Trek: First Contact, the sort of spiritual grandfather of the horrible...

We delve into some beautiful Dreamcast commercials where planes crash into buildings, Also the Enterprise gang meets the most important man they'll ever met, and the TEMPORAL COLD WAR begins. Like the show? Check out our brand-new Patreon !

Mattie and Clayton talk about Thanksgiving 2001 and the beautiful floats (and people) therein. They also dive into Enterprise S1E10, "Fortunate Son" and hang out with some space truckers who love to kidnap a screwed-up looking guy.

Mattie and Clayton dive into more of November 2001 and also Enterprise S1e9: "Civilization," yet another slog where they only try to figure out how to fix the damn show. I hope someone with access to time-travel technology is listening and can take our notes to Brannon Braga.

We talk about S1E8: "Breaking the Ice" and also the deep evil of SHALLOW HAL.

We are joined by Enterprise Aficionado (and also author and cocktail expert) John deBary to talk about the first (?) pretty good episode of Star Trek: Enterprise featuring our friend and yours, Shran. That's right folks, it's Season 1, Episode 7: "The Andorian Incident." The long-teased first appearance of Shran! It's Shran. Shran! Shran! Shran!

In 2001 America, everyone goes insane with patriotism. Meanwhile, aboard the Enterprise NX-01, they're on a dumb planet where everyone is a moron and nothing makes sense and they're eating turtles.

A "quiet week" in American history in 2001, and a weirdly okay episode of Enterprise! They go to a wacky ship with kooky air and also maybe shag carpet and also Trip gets pregnant.
