Is Star Trek: Section 31 a must-watch sci-fi movie or a Trek spin-off flop? ๐Ÿค” In this episode, host Y. M. Nelson and guest cohosts Marcie and Staci give their honest review of this highly anticipated Star Trek film starring Michelle Yeoh as Emperor Philippa Georgiou. WARNING: This episode is full of spoilers!

This action-packed movie follows Georgiou as she joins the secretive Section 31, a covert Starfleet division tasked with protecting the United Federation of Planetsโ€”all while facing the ghosts of her past. But does it live up to the hype?

We discuss:

๐Ÿ–– Michelle Yeohโ€™s performance โ€“ Does she steal the show?
๐Ÿš€ The story pacing โ€“ Engaging or uneven and too fast?
๐ŸŒŒ The ensemble cast โ€“ Standouts and weak links
๐Ÿ”ฎ Future predictions โ€“ Where could the story go next?

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
