  • Short # 72 - ST Next Gen 2.5: Loud as a Whisper
    Aug 23 2025

    Wherein Andy and Justice interpret the events of "Loud as a Whisper" in their review of the fifth episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation's second season. In an episode produced and aired during the debate around the Americans With Disabilities Act, Star Trek portrayes a protagonist with different abilities. How is the deafness of Riva shown on screen? How does the crew react to his unique form of telepathic communication? And what happens when those lines of communication break down? First, Riva flips over the chessboard and then, as usual, it's Data to the rescue.

  • Short # 71 - Superman Film Review
    Jul 23 2025

    Wherein Justice and Andy swoop into the fray of the controversial new Superman film. It's the first of James Gunn's new DCU and takes a very different approach than the MCU's established pattern of success. How believable does a Superman movie have to be? Why is this movie so crowded? Will there ever be standalone origin stories in this new DCU? And will we ever see a mature Lex Luthor again? Leaping over narratives in a single bound, it's a bird, its a plane, its James Gunn's first bad movie.

    Wherein Andy and Justice rake "The Outrageous Okona" over the coals in their review of this fourth episode of the second season of Star Trek: The Next Generation. The main issue with this episode is not only that Okona himself is not outrageous, but that the episode does not fit narratively in season two, nor does it contribute to character development and growth as we've come to expect following the last episode. Because of these qualities, we argue that it's quite possible that this is a holdover in some form from season one. Also, Joe Piscopo? WTF?
