In this weekly podcast your two hosts, Alex and Paula, discuss their favourite fandoms from a new perspective. Listen to them discuss their favourite episodes and characters, talk about the relevance of diverse fandoms and the history of geeks, and sometimes loose it over the weirdness of the universe (and their own tired brains)! Our current main fandoms are Star Trek and the MCU, but honestly, we go wherever inspiration and hyper-fixation guide us.

089. Bradward Cringefail Boimler (Lower Decks - The Final Season) 12.02.2025

Another month, another episode! We're still in our Star Trek era and this time we're talking about the glorious goodbye of its funniest animated show. (That's not too controversial, right? Any TAS truthers out there?) But wait, there's more! As of the release of this episode it looks like we might be clairvoyant after all. If you do not want to think about the current state of the...

088. Salad, oh yeeah... 29.01.2025

What’s this? A new episode? In this economy?? Yes people, we are back in business after a short *checks notes* one year time off. We are so happy to return with our hot takes, our mediocre jokes and our somewhat thought-out Star Trek opinions. To celebrate the occasion, we have watched the greatest moment of the century (so far), the unification of one Mr. Jim Kirk and one Mr. tshshttsteeejktsssth...

87. Is that Riverdale related?! (Holiday Special) 20.12.2023

Merry Crisis everyone! Even though we have been notably absent in the past few months we couldn't not give you a round up of our year, personal and geek-wise. You may not have been waiting for this one, but come along anyway! We promise it's not just Alex hating on Multiverse of Madness again (will this become an annual tradition? We're definitely excited to find out!) PS: We cannot pr...

086. It's a kinda Quiztime! (TNG: Will Riker) 17.07.2023

Whatever you are expecting, this episode is not that. But we do definitely talk about the one and not only William Thomas Riker! If this is not the first episode you are listening to, you know that our love for Commander Riker knows no bounds, so feel free to experience it with our tired and exhausted selves! And in case you want to know a little more about Paula's job, this is the one for you...

085. The Guarddog of the Galaxy (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - Part 2) 26.06.2023

And now the conclusion.... As we have already talked about the things we loved in the new Guardians movie, let's dive into the things we disliked. As usual, there will be spoilers! And a lot of shenanigans. You can find Selina and her awesome videos on TikTok, Youtube and Instagram at @prol_x. You can find us two idiots on Twitter and Instagram at @deep_space_gay and send us your hatemail to deep....

084. Sci-Fi Heebie Jeebies (Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 - Part 1) 06.06.2023

We are back with our marvel shenanigans and as usual we have our great friend Selina with us. This is part 1 of our Guardians 3 discussions, as we had a lot to say. Enjoy the ride! You can find Selina and her awesome videos on TikTok, Youtube and Instagram at @prol_x. You can find us two idiots on Twitter and Instagram at @deep_space_gay and send us your hatemail to deep.space.gay@gmail.com. Toodl...

083. 5 to 8 business years (TNG: First contact) 20.05.2023

NOT the movie! The alien is escaping and Riker is in trouble. After a recon mission turned badly, Riker ended up in an alien hospital close to death. The first mission contact of the Enterprise turns into a rescue mission with a lot of involuntary beaming and some very violent "doctors". Also, how does Earth's political system(s) actually work in the future? A question we discuss wit...

082. Whatever happened to Korkie? (Mando Season 3) 14.05.2023

Paula is asking the hard questions this episode as we review the third season of the Mandalorian. Spoilers ahead! This season focussed a lot more an Mandalorian cultures and what could potentially unite Mandalorians. It also showed us why exactly they don't unite very often - looking at you, Axe and Paz! We had dragons, we had Jack Black, we had found family, we had space battles! Grab your bl...

81. Ambassadors of Gossip (TNG: Attached) 30.04.2023

Is this one of our favorite episodes of TNG? Hear for yourself! It's time for a good old discussion of a single ep, but this one in particular really has it all: a tragic romance, psychic connections, open conversation, a good amount of side eye, those lightning globe things you saw at the christmas market in 2009.. a dream! If you too ship Beverly and Picard, you can tell us on instagram (and...

080. She was a Monsterf*cker (Dr. Beverly Crusher) 16.04.2023

The truth is out babes! Dr. Beverly Crusher, the brain behind many medical and scientific advancements in the Star Trek universe is also a great friend, a loving mother, an amazing dancer and a monsterfucker. You could say shes's multifaceted. And since there is so much to say about Beverly, we dedicated this episode to her! Enjoy our discussion and maybe you also get to learn something about some...

079. It's almost Brad Brad (Easter extravaganza!) 10.04.2023

Happy Easter and magical bunnies to everyone! We had a few characters left from our Christmas episode and decided to spend Easter with some of our favourite characters. And Clyden. Instagram/Twitter: @deep_space_gay E-Mail: deep.space.gay@gmail.com

078. It's Brad Brad! (right next to the moon moon) 01.04.2023

We joked about it a couple of weeks ago, but now we are in it. There are more movies about the greatness of the US-American military than there is sand on the beach, so we wanted to take a closer look at the queer and oftentimes homoerotic subtext of such. For that we picked a movie and its sequel, Transformers and Transformers - Revenge of the Fallen. Jk! Of course we talked about TOP GUN and TOP...

077. It's Carpet!!! (TNG: Suspicions) 26.03.2023

Aren't you glad we are having a calm and collected discussion on the ethical and medical dilemmas (dilemmata??) that Beverly is expereincing while investigating the murder of a fellow scientist? No? Well, you're in luck then. Whatever you think this episode is, that's probably not it. Neverthelss, we really enjoyed talking about this Space Whodunit! PS: We talk a bit about medical trauma and surge...

76. Fight, fight, fight, fight, fight, whatever (Antman: Quantummania) 16.03.2023

If you haven't seen the film, be aware of spoilers! Or do it the way we did and have the plot explained to you by our amazing guest expert Selina. Because the two of us couldn't be bothered to leave the house for this movie, so we had Selina do it for us!  You can find her and her awesome videos on TikTok, Youtube and Instagram at @prol_x.  You can find our dumb asses on Twitter and Inst...

075. Bathlet, honour, prune juice (TNG: Yesterday's Enterprise) 21.02.2023

sooo, we are late with today's episode and that's because remembering stuff isn't our strong suit. Anyways.  We start out with a fun discussion about the TNG episode "Yesterday's Enterprise" and talk about the iconic moments, including Tasha's lipstick, Riker's falling and of course, the legendary prune juice! Then we drift off into the Delta Quadrat. We'll be back soon with our regular sched...

074. How evil? The evilest! (Star Wars: Andor Season 1) 30.01.2023

We are back after a short January-hiatus and we start right back into the new year with fun topics like space fascism, space violence and space gays! Andor broke our hearts and made us rethink a lot of what we already knew about Star Wars. This episode starts out wild and then turns very serious and thoughtful - most of the time. Oh, and we also have some new rules for Baaaarclay's day. Spoilers f...

073. Badass Buddies, that's right (Tasha Yar Time) 31.12.2022

For the last time in this decades long year we are back with Star Trek shenanigans!  Tasha Yar is a badass who was taken from all of us too soon. She is cool, confident and sadly not slime-resistant. In this action filled episode Paula created a quiz Alex should have been better at answering and we collectively decided that it's a good thing for 2022 to be over. Join us for our fun little rid...

072. It's gonna be Crisis! 21.12.2022

Haaaaaaappy Holidays to all you lovely listeners! We have a special gift for you and yes, it is related to our awesome audio editing skills. We also have a fun epsiode for you, full of yearly reviews, games and the very deep question as to why we all seem to have daddy issues.  Now strap on your antlers, get into your fuzzy sweater and let's have a fun time together! If you feel like reaching out,...

071. Thomas, derogatory (Lower Decks Season 3) 07.12.2022

This episode is almost as wild as season 3 of Lower Decks itself! We share our likes, struggle with the internet connection and have an important discourse on the name Thomas. Also, toilet paper.  Paula's audio is a bit off for a couple of minutes in the first half, so don't be afraid, it's not your headphones or other audio outlet making the weird noises. It's Paula. She's clearly practicing...

070. O'Brien's random moments (TNG: Legacy) 30.11.2022

It's time to talk about the coolest security officer on the Enterprise (sorry Worf!), Tasha Yar. To start with her character we picked an episode where she isn't in it because... you know... black slime bloop bloop... Legacy is a Westside-Story-Esque episode about drama, trust and family where we meet Tasha's sister, Ishara. The Enterprise crew needs to rescue some officers and Data needs to learn...

069. The Gramp Stamp (Black Panther: Wakanda Forever) 25.11.2022

The latest Marvel project takes us back to Wakanda and continues the story of the Wakandan Royal Family after the death of the late Chadwick Boseman. We watched it in theatres and now have many, many thoughts, some smoart, some not so. Spoiler alert, this is a MCU movie both of us enjoyed a lot. We discuss the movie's themes, the farewell to King T'Challa and our thoughts on the whole Namor-Shuri-...

068. So if you meet Sauron... (Risa Travelling Journal) 16.11.2022

Several holidays are coming up and it's time to plan the next shore leave. What better place for such an event is there than the wonderful deluxe planet of Risa. Before you travel there, you will need some tips on the best places to party at, great hiking tours, fun parks and the newest fashion to impress even your grumpiest CMO. Noone asked for this and yet here we are hear to deliver: Risa, a tr...

067. Too many expectations, no resource (She-Hulk) 09.11.2022

After mysteriously losing some time, we're back with another Marvel episode. And you know what that means: Our wonderful friend Selina is back as well! So get your briefcase, put on your Lawyering Clothes and let's head to court for this recap of the She-Hulk TV-show on Disnyey+!  If you want to present us with all the arguments of why our opinions are a hundred percent wrong, you can do so on Twi...

066. I'm gonna write a sketch about not taking drugs (A Fistful of Datas) 02.11.2022

The wibbly-wobbly-timey-wimey-stuff really got to us this time, so this is a pre-recorded episode that is now coming out later than planned because Covid knocked us down. So yeah, you are listening to a still plague-free version of Alex and Paula! We watched one of Paula’s favourite episodes, A Fistful of Datas. This episode got cowboys, it got open hand slaps, it got flute playing, and it got som...

065. I'm not a big fan of slushies (Ms. Marvel) 12.10.2022

We did not have a marvelous time with the Ms. Marvel TV-Show on Disney+, so we took the time to examine which parts did and didn't work for us. We talked about everything from the difficulty of adaptations to good storytelling and compelling characters. But be warned, we also discussed school shootings and violence towards minors in the context of the show, referring to its finale. So please be sa...
