A Star to Steer Her By

A Star to Steer Her By

New episodes every Thursday! Podcasts: a frontier that isn't actually very final at all. These are the voyages of the podcast A Star to Steer Her By. Our continuing mission: to watch every single episode of Star Trek (even the dumb ones), to comment on and snark at whatever suits our fancy, to boldly split infinitives that no man has split before. Follow our crew of Chris, Jake, Ames, and Caitlin as we explore the universe of Trek, go on wild tangents, crack wise, and make more fart jokes than necessary. Mature Content!

Shore Leave - Keanussance 08: The Middleagedtrix

July 9, 2026 • 87 mins
Come with us to the early 2020s, when WB was busy making legacy sequels and canning random completed movies for tax breaks and check out "The Matrix Resurrections". One of the Wachowskis comes back under duress since the trilogy was going to become a tetralogy (quadrilogy?) whether they liked it or not, so they figured they may as well try to say something with it. It's very meta, oddly introspective, and sometimes a little sad whi...

Shore Leave - Keanussance 07: The Underbakedtrix

July 2, 2026 • 98 mins
It's the original end of "The Matrix" trilogy as we take a look at the very noisy "The Matrix Revolutions"! We've got a big CG battle loaded with characters we don't care about, we've got another visit with the Merovingian, and we've got a new Oracle (did you notice?!). Sense has largely left the building in this messy, loud, and frankly perplexing finale. Also this week: who's who in Zion, unsubtle imagery, and the answer is alwa...

Shore Leave - Keanussance 06: Smiths for Days

June 25, 2026 • 73 mins
"The Matrix" is BACK, baby, and it's bringing along WAY more money and WAY more special effects for "The Matrix Reloaded"! Get ready for MORE fighting, MORE Agent Smith, and MORE uncomfortably long gyrating rave scenes! What, you don't want that last thing? TOUGH, it's there and it ain't leaving! Also this week: too much movie, who's Tank, and story time with an 8 year old! [Reloaded: 01:51] [Ames's fanfic again because why not: ht...

Shore Leave - Keanussance 05: A Trip to Grandma's Goes Wrong

June 18, 2026 • 81 mins
Mr. Anderson! Come in, sit down, put on your comfiest headphones. It's time to discuss possibly the most iconic of Keanu Reeves' many iconic roles. It's time for "The Matrix", a movie that arguably had as big an impact on how Hollywood works as the original "Star Wars" did some twenty-two years before. Reeves is Neo, a man who finds out his world is not what he believed and he might be the Chosen One humanity needs to save it from ...

Shore Leave - Keanussance 04: Cyberpunk 2021

June 11, 2026 • 71 mins
What happens when a painter/sculptor and a sci-fi writer want to make an art film but can only get the budget for an action movie? The very, very confused "Johnny Mnemonic". Watch in confusion as Keanu is told to switch off his usual, easy charm to play a fairly wooden courier! Be annoyed as rights issues and studio meddling turned the much more interesting bodyguard character into a dull sidekick. And wonder why, for the love of G...

Ten Forward 54: The Muppets Take Nal Hutta

June 4, 2026 • 70 mins
We're taking a break from our break (insert "Inception" horn) to check out "The Mandalorian and Grogu", the latest theatrical "Star Wars" outing! Everyone's favorite buckethead and baby are back, hunting down war criminals and fighting CG monsters. SO. MANY. CG monsters. Also this week: a hot Hutt (?), almost Minioning, and bringing back the board! [Mando and Grogu: 1:08] [Classic Board: https://sshbpodcast.tumblr.com/post/6662523...

Shore Leave - Keanussance 03: Bill & Ted's Delayed Threequel

May 28, 2026 • 57 mins
Well, it took a lot longer than the writers hoped, but a third "Bill & Ted" finally graced our screens in 2020! With most of the world locked indoors, maybe all we really needed was a film with a simple message lacking in any cynicism. After your hosts' cool reception to "Bogus Journey" last week, did the more straightforward "Bill & Ted Face the Music" resonate with us? Listen and find out! Also this week: many side plots,...

Shore Leave - Keanussance 02: Bill & Ted's Underwhelming Sequel

May 21, 2026 • 67 mins
Next stop on our Shore Leave jaunt is "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" and what can we say but: at least William Sadler is a delight. Your stalwarts find themselves a bit underwhelmed by this odd sequel, which maybe was a little TOO different from its predecessor. Something is just missing this time around, and no amount of weird robots or caked-up Martians can fix it. Also this week: sequel issues, more film trauma for little Chri...

Shore Leave - Keanussance 01: Cleverly-Seeded Time Frippery

May 14, 2026 • 59 mins
We're taking one of our patented Shore Leave breaks before the next leg of "Trek", and this time we're going over some choice cuts of the career of Keanu Reeves! So we're starting where you know we have to: "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure"! It's a classic tale of two well-meaning dopes trying to pass history with the help of time travel so that they can be the foundation of a utopian future! Also this week: a very smart dumb ...

Ten Forward 53: Everything Everywhere All at Once

May 7, 2026 • 58 mins
This week we're looking at arguably the reason the reprehensible "Section 31" exists: the excellent "Everything Everywhere All At Once"! In a movie that turns the Chosen One narrative on its head, Michelle Yeoh plays Evelyn, who is the best hope for the multiverse because she is the worst version of herself. Come along for a story of generational trauma, nihilism, kindness, and the simplest little things actually being set-ups for ...

Episode 437: Tunneling Beneath Expectations

April 29, 2026 • 94 mins
Brace yourself for "Section 31", the abysmal "Star Trek" movie that's a mashup of all the worst ideas from your favorite franchises and none of the good ones! Despite the universe seeming to not want it to happen, what had once been planned as a Shazad Latif–led spy series instead became a Michelle Yeoh heist vehicle. Brace yourself for samey, quippy dialogue, unlikable characters, and the most obvious "twists" you've ever se...

Episode 436: The Vulcan Meh

April 23, 2026 • 102 mins
We've come to the end of the beginning of the "Trek" streaming era with "Life, Itself". Unfortunately, it's all a bit underwhelming. We've got a pointless space battle, a mall-looking ancient temple/lab/whatever, and an ultimate puzzle that a five year old could crack. There's also a stupid, stupid, stupid reveal and an idiotic epilogue. Also this week: unexpected "Titanic", poster profundity, and wrapping "Discovery"! [Life, Its...

It's "Lagrange Point", the penultimate episode of the final "Discovery" season! And we're heating things up with a heist! The Breen have gotten their hands on some kind of garbage bin/TARDIS hidden between two black holes, and Burnham and her crack team have to get it back! On the ship, Rayner gets judged for his command style, while back at Fed HQ, Saru decides to volunteer for a dangerous mission. Also this week: math is like hip...

Keep your voice down as we make our way to a Marvel-ish library in "Labyrinths"! The race is on to the final clue and Michael has to endure one of the more tedious "Trek" tropes: going into your own mind made of recycled sets! Meanwhile, Moll leads a coup to become Queen Breen!

In "Erigah", we've caught up to our plucky bandits, and one of them is in a bad way. Worse still: uncle has come calling! Meanwhile, the B team is trying to get to the bottom of the latest clue. And in both cases, we have a "Discovery" superpower: sudden backstory out of nowhere! Turns out Rayner has a long history with the Breen, while Jett gets a Poe Dameron style upgrade!

We had the big Breen reveal last week, so surely now everything's REALLY going to kick off in "Whistlespeak"! Oh, no? We're going to just go follow the next clue and have a frankly-dull and VERY undercooked adventure? Well, at least the titular whistle language will surely be a major factor! Oh, also no?
