S2E105 SciWhy? F.U!: William Shatner's TekWar
William Shatner's TekWar is a so-so cyberpunk cop story that somehow grew into novels, comics, trading cards, syndicated TV movies, a USA Network and Sci Fi Channel series, and a PC video game that…
S2E104 Sci-Why? F.U.: Misfits of Science (Re-Download, if Possible)
A superhero team that rides in an ice cream truck? Courtney Cox?? The Predator??? sounds like a joke until you actually watch it. We go deep on Misfits of Science, the short-lived 1985 NBC sci-fi…
S2E103 Memmory Gamma: Gul Dukat
Gul Dukat ruled Terok Nor with an iron fist, measuring Bajorans like inventory even as the occupation began to crack under resistance and political pressure. We unpack how fear of assassination,…
S2E102 The Sci-Fi Channel Part 2
We start with the big thesis: the Sci-Fi Channel is an early masterclass in niche marketing, built on the belief that sci-fi fans are loyal and underserved. From there we dig into the credibility…
S2E101 Classic: Highlander Part 3 - Gabbin' Macleod
In our classic third installment of the Highlander franchise (because of the reported first footage of the remake premiering) we really have a blast talking about all the other fun stuff we'd been…

This is part 2 of our revisitation of the Highlander franchise - since the official footage of the Highlander reboot recently debuted at CinemaCon.

S2E97 The Sci-Fi Channel: A Primer
We're Back! And with that we start a new mini series about The Sci-Fi Channel (SyFy, if ya nasty) and its wild diaspora. Something strange happened on old-school satellite TV: a channel appeared out…
S2E96 Important Update!
Rumors of our death have been greatly exaggerated! We're still going, just having some hiccups, kinda like the rest of the world.
S2E95 Nerd Culture, No Gatekeeping: A Little About Us
We open the door to the underexplained corners of Nerd and Geek culture—where a driveway TARDIS keeps you warm at the bus stop, Flash Gordon becomes a friendship hinge, and debates about whether Star…
S2E94 159th Episode Spectacular!
We celebrate our 159th with - among many Geeky things - a fast, funny tour of Star Trek’s dangling threads, from Tasha Yar’s exit to the lost “Conspiracy” arc, plus DS9’s long-game brilliance and…
S2E93 We're Not Saying It's Erich Von Däniken, But...
...It's Erich Von Däniken. In the 1960's a Swiss hotelier wrote a book that changed how millions see the past—and how pop culture tells stories about it. We revisit the wild trajectory of Chariots of…
S2E92 Gil Gerard: Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
RIP Gil Gerard. A New York cab, a day job in drama class, and a shot at the 25th century: that’s the unlikely runway that launched Gil Gerard into Buck Rogers, and it still glows with neon charm. We…
S2E91 536: The Worst Year Ever
536 CE: What happens when the sun dims for eighteen months and summer never really arrives? The volcanic winter that blanketed much of the world in a cold, bluish haze, and the chain reaction it set…
S2E90 Cult Classics: 2 Cult 2 Curious
Cult Classic status doesn’t happen by accident—it’s engineered by obsession, scarcity, and a helluva lot of Weird. We set out to map that journey and name the films from the last decade that might…
S2E89 Cult Classics, Part 1
We trace how films become cult classics, from midnight screenings and VHS trades to streaming silos and algorithm feeds. We pull apart cult vs underground vs underseen, weigh the death of…
