Set phasers to pants-pissing hilarity. In this week’s teaser, we’re boldly going where this podcast has never gone before — into the Black Mirror.
For the first time ever, we’re reviewing episodes, not movies, with a double-feature dive into Black Mirror’s USS Callister and its sequel Into Infinity. Both are love letters (and roast sessions) to Star Trek, and since all four of us grew up on the original and The Next Generation, we couldn’t pass this one up.
We get in touch with our inner Trekkies, discuss plot holes and performances, and make plenty of Jesse Plemons jokes. Plus, we debate which episode wins, what we would do with digital clones of our enemies, and why Jimmi Simpson deserves more work.
USS Callister is written by Charlie Brooker and William Bridges; directed by Toby Haynes. Into Infinity is Charlie Brooker, Bisha K. Ali, William Bridges and Bekka Bowling. Both episodes are directed by Toby Hanyes, and they both star Cristin Milioti, Jesse Plemons, Jimmi Simpson, Billy Magnussen, Milanka Brooks, Paul G. Raymond, and Osy Ikhile.
