Series 6, Episode 1 - "It's camp. It's stupid. It's almost like if Star Trek crossed over with the Adam West Batman"

Strap in for a wild ride as Captain Michael and First Officer D.K kick off a brand-new series of 'Hit or Miss: Star Trek', diving headfirst into Trek's most infamous episodes! Joined by the self-proclaimed "returning champ" Lady Vean, the crew tackles 'Star Trek: Voyager' episode "Threshold," where warp 10 turns you into... salamanders? Yes, really. Expect some laughs, eye-rolls, and facepalms as we break down bad science, lazy writing, and why this episode's evolutionary ideas are more "Jurassic Park" than "Star Trek". But first, there’s the usual crew catch-up and our surely now legendary “Hit or Miss” segment. This week our binary critical eye is turned on a couple of relevant starships, a newly-minted Captain and infamous entries from DS9 and The Original Series. Engage at warp 9.9999999996 (we know what happens if you break the warp 10 barrier!) and join us for this riotous series opener!

Cinema Classics Number 8/Monster Crossover Part 2 of 3 - "It's money, adventure and fame. It's the thrill of a lifetime!"

Welcome back, cinephiles, to another thrilling episode of "Cinema Classics"! Intrepid hosts Mike & D.K are joined by returning guest Nita from Sci-Fi Queens, who was last on our 'Planet of the Apes' review. Yes, we seem to have a thing about primates so we've reunited what we've affectionately dubbed "The Simian Squad" as this time we're continuing our ongoing "Monster Crossover" trilogy by going way back to where it all began with the 1933 classic that inspired and enraptured generations, the one, the only, the undisputed champion of Skull Island dinosaur fights, 'King Kong'! Our crew aren't just monkeying around though, also breaking down every detail and theme about this iconic movie. There's discussion of cut scenes, historical context, the famous "beauty and the beast" motif, Kong as a potential sympathetic, tragic figure and the very unfortunate, outdated depictions of women, colonialism and racial stereotypes. And, of course, no discussion of this film would be complete without talking about the epic fights where Kong takes on everything from a T-Rex (or is it an Allosaurus?) to a Pteranodon. So settle in and by the time you reach the end it'll hopefully have been as thrilling and captivating as that legendary Empire State Building finale.
