Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery, Short Treks & Podcast

The Lower Deckers, when the ApeCast hosted Jaxilly.  Geoff, when Jack referenced LOST.  Boimler, Will and Thomas on Nervala IV.  Jack and Geoff, selecting dub/subs on Amazon Prime.  TNG fans, when Boimler spoke of the D!  Mariner and Jet, in the collector galleries.  The Titan Strike Team, the Pakled snacks uncovered.  Mariner and Boimler, in the Cerritos bar again.  Star Trek Nerds, seeing the Sp...

Lower Decks is BACK, and so are the PD Crew (RTW+Barm), and Geoff (The ApeCast), to talk about it!  Or rather, spend a few hours goofing around with each other and occasionally talking about the episode, which is a fine thing including giant heads and Gary Mitchell references.  In other words, we've become GODS.  One listen, and you'll agree: We're using way too many napkins. 

IT'S THE BOOK BOOK!  Or is it??  Three smart people who are Jack, Barm and Sean put on their glasses for Jaxilly's third dalliance with the literary Wonderlands of Uma McCormack!  As they catch up on Michael and Book (and Grudge and Indian Desmond)'s adventures between episodes 1 and 2 of Season 3, they'll also revel in their undying love for Discovery's Alice in Wonderland references, make an exc...

Get out the Cheeza, because Jack and Kevin have made their third annual musical discovery: Disc-overy, by Tinie Tempah!  They've already delved into 70's British Disco/Rock and early aughts French electronica, why not early teens British hip-hop?  And this time, it's the first listen-through for both involved.  Will they fancy TT?  Will they ever look at Discs or Ovaries the same way again?  WILL...

Jack and Lauren finally get up in that ass to talk about The Lefty Call, in their fourth annual Jaxilly Curb Your Enthusiasm Extravaganza!  This year, Lauren picks the episode, and she chose to finally give us the gift of Leon in his starmaking moment.  It's a shitstorm, it's just shit, as they not only delve into Leon, but also talk about winter fruits, getting eaten by whales, their severe neuro...

The Picard Debut Crew sits down to hang out and do a commentary on Total Recall!  It's one of the most fun movies ever, and here is the best commentary on it.  We also count down the many, many Star Trek characters who appear in the movie.  'Nuff said!  GET YOUR ASS TO THIS COMMENTARY.

In the thrilling conclusion to the last episode, Jack, Sam and Barm talk about another twenty commercials with Star Trek characters in them, and then read some emails and shit.  (Follow along with the gang by checking commercials 22-39 yourself on Jack's Youtube playlist "Star Trek Character Commercials")

Jack perverts Sam's very reasonable idea of watching every commercial they can find of Star Trek actors playing their characters in TV commercials by creating exceptions and watering down the concept until the episode becomes a bloated, overly long mess that needed to be split into two parts to even approach being manageable, yet still manages to be a lot of fun!  Barm is along to assist in this p...

On this 11th installment (again, not the same 11 you would think), Jack and Kregg are really scraping the bottom of the barrel, as they record a drunken commentary and make jokes about what is already essentially a joke; the fan dub of Episode III called Star war: The Third Gather - Backstroke of the West, based on a bootleg DVD with a Google translated into English version of the Chinese dub scri...

Back through the gate!

John Davidson once again joins Zack and perennial hanger-on Barnacle to finally get back through the Stargate to talk about SeaQuest DSV again, and we got ourselves a doozy here!  That's right, it's the one where DAGWOOD IS ON TRIAL FOR MURDER.  As we dive (see what I did there?) deep into some classic season 2 SeaQuest, the boys reminisce on the profound effect Dagwood's plight had on them as kid...

Sister! Sooooo, Barm has a ….younger sister! This podcast has now betrayed her, too.  Kaela Neufeld makes her Jaxilly debut to talk about one of her (and now our!) favorite books, John Scalzi's Redshirts!  The Barms and Jack dive into a meta(physical) masterpiece of dry comedy, satire and metafictional tomfoolery, all inspired by classic Trek cannon fodder! Along the way, they'll dish on some Trek...

There's more to Lauren Petronaci than loving Larry David, Godzilla and lemurs!  She also loves the 1998 Pixar classic A Bug's Life, and she's here to talk about it with Jack!  Along the way, they'll also talk about some other classic Pixar films, planets and the solar system, birds, etymology, the wonderful cast of this movie, size and scale, Madagascar, Godzilla vs. Kong, BUGS of course, and so m...

Rike Strike!  Jack and Barm, and making his Trek book castin' debut, Sean Davis, get together to talk Riker, Picard and the ten pages or so of material in the novel that bear his name, Star Trek: Picard: Dark Veil!  It's another big boy, as the Riker Boyz gab about the Jazari, the Titan, and Romulans, Romulans, Romulans! They also weigh in on heady topics, like the continuity of culturally accepte...

Had enough of the Emerald Chain and the Burn madness? Why not take a little dip into some cool refreshing Picard comic waters with Jack and Barm, where the only things you·ll have to worry about are what ships in 2365 look like, how much like Yul Brynner Picard looks, how much like Napoleon Dynamite Raffi looks, and what two idiots asking Alexa questions on a podcast looks like. Looks like a short...

It's a Disco Party, and Jack has invited a cadre of glorious guests to celebrate his newfound freedom from the pressures of endlessly podcasting about Star Trek every week.  Barm, Sam Stovold (Marvel Star Wars Explorers), Sean Davis (After the Credits), Kregg Castillo (Golden Boy?), Richard Dunham (Ghibli Minute), and an Ape-on in the form of Geoff Clarke (The ApeCast), are all here to dish on the...

We're coming into 2021 TOO HOT, as Amos Dunn (Ei Sa Da) joins Barm and Jack to FINALLY talk Disco.  And we've got a lot to talk about, like Osyraa's machinations, our enduring love of Admiral Vance, Sybok's mom, the last days of Trump, England's reduced stature, the return of Kenneth Mitchell, a rainbow of Hannibals in the Emerald Chain, and the passing of the legendary MF Doom.  Oh, and Michael B...

Happy New Year's everyone!  Sneaking in just under the wire, Jaxilly COMPLETELY redeems 2020 with the classic JackBarmKregg combo talking Su'kal!  We're also talking baby's first holodeck, the royal We, video games, Freud, the Ba'ul, our feelings on BURN revelations, some amazing HotTheories, and The Mandalorian, AGAIN.  Does 2020, and this episode Su'kal?  Nope, they're SATIS, and so are you.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone!  Carlos has been getting into the Christmas spirit, working hard to bring you his renditions of some classic holiday tunes!  But Jack got so jealous, he decided to get in on the fun, too.  It's a double album of holiday cheer!  Find out what it sounds like when two guys who can't sing or compose music at all make a whole album!  It's sure to find its w...

Celebrate the holidays with one of the biggest Jaxilly BLOWOUTS ever!  Hey, it's the end of the year, everyone had drinks and the day off, we have to talk about CHINGY'S blessings, the Mirror Universe, Georgiou leaving the show, the return of the Guardian of Forever (aka CARL), the biggest mailbag ever, and of course THE MANDO FINALE!  So join a Chingy-approved Jack, a Luke-likin'(?) Sam (Marvel S...

Jack, Sam, and Kevin are Reopening the Wormhole to a time podcasting with Barm and she of the glistening Klingon hams, RTW appearances, Picard Finales, and SMB commentaries, the delightful Kristina Kephart!  They are here to talk about the wonders of CARL, decide the perfect trail mix, mourn the loss of salty Stamets, and above all, debate the merits of Georgiou as they once again delve into the m...

2020 lurches to an end with a sputtering cough, and within the putrid phlegm arises another installment of DRUNK STAR WARS! The Force goes back to bed as a scrumpy-fueled Jack and a still bathroom recording Kregg choke on some Disney tip-yip. Through the drunken haze, the two recognize the ways that this little Lego thing is strong in the Force, and also, the ways in that is why you fail.  (Too dr...

Jack, Barm and Ferengi Expert and Golden Boy Kregg Castillo are BOOKING it to BOOK CENTRAL to discuss SANCTUARY.  Which also means they gon' talk about Detmer and Tilly's Andorian hubby getting their trench run on with Grudge in their lap, Emperor Georgiou at peak intolerability (and Culber reacting appropriately), the Section 31 show they would actually be excited to see, ESL aliens, pronouns, St...

Barm and Jack decide to live together on their own planet away from everyone else to talk about Unification III. It's the return of Mama Burnham, the Rommies and Vulckies, Prime Concernham and Captain Saru's questionable personnel decisions! This holo-torch lit debate also features arguments from Barm that Col. Tigh and Mr. Lahey are the same person, touches on the wisdom of Spock, revisits Unific...

Barm is back from his whirlwind November tour of Castville, and joins Jack and Sam Stovold (Marvel Star Wars Explorers) to talk SCAVENGERS.  That means you'll be digging through the garbage to find gems like the story of the vagina-faces, a discussion of what working with people from a thousand years ago would REALLY be like and a show from Admiral Vance's perspective, an attempt to deconstruct th...
