A podcast exploring the farthest reaches of science fiction and pop culture in a casual conversation between old friends. Writer/Artist Mark Farinas is the creator of the STAR TREK WEBCOMIC, a fan comic based on Roddenberry's space odyssey. Ryan Thomas Riddle is an award-winning journalist and Trekkie who works with FACT TREK to bust the myths surrounding the making of the original STAR TREK. Each week, we discuss what genres are streaming to our TVs, look back with retro reviews, and let you know what we are fanning over.
INTERSTELLAR. EVENT HORIZON. They ain't got nothing on Disney's maligned THE BLACK HOLE. The Ship Full of Jerks is caught in the gravitational pull of this film and pulled ever closer to the accretion disc as the Jerks get to the Joesph Bottoms of the franchise that never was. They talk bad perms, homoerotic tension and googly-eyed robots.
The Jerks are back from their hiatus for a Code 9 Priority -- our review of SECTION 31, Paramount Plus's first streaming movie. Buckle up because there's gonna be some chop ahead. Then, both Mark and Ryan tell us what we're fanning over. No spoilers but Ryan's does tangentially reference STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE.
The Jerk's are joined by writer and Star Wars expert Hannibal Tabu to discuss The Acolyte. We discuss the show's themes and its depiction of the Jedi as the police of a decaying and decadent society. Were the grand days of the Old Republic just a myth pushed by Ben and Yoda?
Plus Hannibal joins us for another round of Fanning!
How much for that doggie on the TARDIS? You know the one that's been there since Tom Baker's run. It's the two-part finale of RTD's return season this week. And finally, the Jerks chat up their favorite of the DOCTOR WHO finales.
The Jerks venture with The Doctor and Ruby to the Planet of the Twinks where we side with the evil AI for the first time. Then, we play regency drama as The Doctor gets a steamy gay romance with a roughish bounty hunter... who is named Rogue. And he loves Kylie. Yes, that Kylie.
15 can't help but put his foot where it doesn't belong. The Jerks look at the next two episodes of this season's DOCTOR WHO. First up, the landmine of privatized medicine in "Boom." Then, we keep 73 yards away from Ruby Sunday in "73 Yards."
Finally, what we're all looking forward to watching soon.
Doctor Who is back. New face. More queerness. Old showrunner. Same wibbly wobbly. The Jerks look at the first two episodes of Ncuti Gatwa's 15. Do Space Babies taste like Jelly Babies? And will the Doctor be able to best Jinx Monsoon as he lip-synchs for everyone's life?
Finally, we spill the Jelly Babies on our favorite Doctor. Who? Exactly.
This week, the Jerks venture into the Undiscovered Country in the last of our TOS film reviews, where we discover anatomy varies from alien to alien. Then, Bryan and Kristen beam aboard and consent to discuss STAR TREK's dubious relationship with consent.
But is it really dead so long as we remember it?
This week we're talking about Star Trek: Discovery's final episode and it caps off Michael Burnham's journey from mutineer to captain.
Then we find our way to Eden only to fall into the pits of hell as we discuss Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.
The Jerks always enjoy a good heist, and this week's episode of Star Trek: Discovery, "Lagrange Point", gives us a great one. And our review of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, gives as another two. Plus, what we're fanning over!
This week, we venture to the Eternal Archive for a Reading Rainbow episode of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY. And we join Kirk and company as they search for the inevitable ending in our third review of the OG Trek films. Finally, we share our favorite video games of yesteryear.
The Jerks critically take on the critically acclaimed, fan-favorite STAR TREK movie -- THE WRATH OF KHAN. Well, after all, risk is our business. We also come face-to-face with Breen in "Erigah". And, lastly, what we're fanning over this week.
This week, the Jerks learn how to whistle in the latest episode of STAR TREK DISCOVERY. The Jerks then get an emergency call from Starfleet Command about a massive cloud approaching Earth, and they're the only ones in range. Yep, we're going after V'Ger in our new series of retrospectives on the original STAR TREK films. And we wrap it all up with a discussion on series finales.
This week, it's a STAR TREK DISCOVERY threesome as we catch up on the recent episodes. It's a week of thrills and Trills... but there be no Tribble in sight. A'right, strap in, Black Alert and let's fly!
This week, the Jerks are back after an extended shore leave! Don't worry. We've sobered up from our trip to Argelius, and now we're looking at the first two episodes of STAR TREK DISCOVERY's fifth and final season. And we take one final leap with Dr. Ben Song... but will he find home?
This week, the Jerks debate whether singing goblins are cringe in Ncuti Gatwa's first full adventure as The Doctor. Then, we discuss whether Scavengers Reign sticks the landing. Finally, we introduce a new segment called "Bad Take of the Week."
The Jerks return for their third season with a journey in the TARDIS once again as we breakdown the first three new Russell T. Davies DOCTOR WHO specials. Finally, what we're fanning over in the New Year.
This week, the Jerks time slips with Loki to find his real glorious purpose. Then, we discuss how the original STAR TREK bungles its race relations metaphor episode. Finally, we get freaky dicky with some David Lynch's phantasmic of neo-noir terror in LOST HIGHWAY.
This week, the Jerks throwdown with Mariner and the Lower Deckers against Nick Locarno and his enemy star fleet. Then, we face body horrors like none other with SCAVENGERS REIGN. Finally, what the Jerks are fanning over!
This week, the Jerks prematurely stepped into the Quantum Leap accelerator and vanished... now they have to go from STAR TREK LOWER DECKS to the QUANTUM LEAP revival to discuss why everything is getting rebooted.
