This week, Alice and Skyler discuss how well life's going now that Alice has figured out her audio setup, what God's really up to, invoking the right to not hear about Malcolm in the Middle, free-styling dentists, and much, much more. Behind the paywall, they get into DS9 season four, episode nine, "The Sword of Kahless." Together, they go deep on Klingon stabbing culture, objects causing space madness, doing Indiana Jones on a TV budget, whether or not this episode succeeds in finally finding something for Worf to do, hitting the blood wine vineyards, and, truly, more.

This week, Alice and Skyler get into Alice's days in New York, Garret revoking Alice's backstage pass privileges due to his sleep deprivation, the deep ties shared by members of Gen X, the hell of buying vintage, and much, much more. Behind the paywall, they get into DS9 season four, episode eight, "Little Green Men" AND Futurama season three, episode nineteen, "Roswell That Ends Well," because Skyler thought covering both, given that they're essentially beat-for-beat versions of each other, sounded fun. Topics include Baby Boomer throwbacks, the dulcet sounds of Ferengi language, Fry becoming his own grandfather, whether or not the film industry should take Skyler's big idea of just re-using already-used scripts, Zero Dark Thirty-ing Quark, Zoidberg's eating habits, Alice's Treks-first history vs. Skyler's Futurama-first history, and so. damn. much. more. Also, Alice was LIVE from a NEW YORK HOTEL ROOM so please forgive any wonky sound, you know how that damn big city is. Listen!!

This week, Alice and Skyler are joined once again by the great Ben Rodgers (Star Trek: Lower Decks, the Actionboyz podcast) to discuss what everyone can hear, just how big a car Ben drives, giving up on English, the joys of recognizing that somebody looks like somebody else regardless of whether or not the resemblance may be rude to share with them, which member of Boygenius Skyler saw perform recently, what Boygenius is, and much, much more. Behind the paywall, they get into DS9 season four, episode seven, "Starship Down." Topics include R. Crumb, the best scary tech to build a horror movie around, the iHome, whether or not Deep Space Nine will ever figure out what to do with Worf now that he's a part of the crew, who's really responsible for the death of the inventor of the Segway, Bashir being gross, Kira being weird about Sisko yet again, being a Crom-head, and more.
