Ship Full of Jerks

SFA: Vox In Excelso and The Intruder

The Jerks debate whether STARFLEET ACADEMY delivered the best Klingon story in Trek ever. It's a battle of words for Cadet Jay'Den as he argues for the preservation of his people. Then, we tackle Roger Corman's THE INTRUDER, starring a Pre-Trek William Shatner as a white supremacist agitator. Trigger Warning: our discussion of the film includes racial violence and sexual assault.

SFA: Vitus Reflux and Pluribus

The Jerks shenan and shenan again as the Starfleet Academy cadets get into a prank war with the War College. It's a Laser Tag battle to see who rules the campus! Then, we leave San Francisco for New Mexico to check in on Vince Gilligan's latest opus, PLURIBIS, which some say is the modern age THE PRISONER.

SFA: Kids These Days Pass a Beta Test

The Jerks return to their alma mater, Starfleet Academy, to usher in the next generations of cadets with the two-episode premier of STAR TREK: STARFLEET ACADEMY. Does the latest from Alex Kurtzman's franchise stewardship pass muster? Find out on this episode of the Jerks.

New Life and New Civilizations

STRANGE NEW WORLDS' third season comes to a close with "New Life and New Civilizations" and Batal's transcendence into a fountain. The Jerks discuss how Pike and Batal went to "It's Even More Complicated" on their Spacebook relationship status. Plus, more queerbaiting with Kirk and Spock's "first date." Then, we dive deep into how BABYLON 5 handles destiny better than most sci-fi franchises, including STAR TREK.

Enemy Terrarium

Can two bitter enemies become star-crossed lovers? You betcha when they're trapped on a desolate and dangerous alien world. Human and Drac. Human and Gorn. Either way, it's a queer subtext-filled fest in our double-feature, back-to-back confab on STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS' "Terrarium" and its antecedent, ENEMY MINE.
