Trek Wars

By: Trek Wars Podcast
  • Summary

  • Which is better: Star Trek vs. Star Wars?

    That's the question hosts Aspen Webster and Kenny madison ask each week. To solve it, we pit an episode of Star Trek versus an Episode of Star Wars. We also talk sociology, philosophy, gender dynamics, and get very, very political each week. Will we ever answer the question?

  • The Way to Eden vs. Innocents of Ryloth
    Nov 8 2024
    A great episode here.This week, we talk about a truly insidious prospect: well-made propaganda.

    Aspen answers why the Outer Rim is a hot bed of destruction. Kenny talks about the original draft of The Way to Eden.

    We also talk techbros and if technological advancement could result in a Star Trek. And how will people read the almost satire of nationalism in Innocents of Ryloth.

  • Storm Over Ryloth vs. Requiem for Methuselah
    Nov 2 2024
    Why does Star Trek's utopianism grate against Aspen?

    This week, Kenny and Aspen talk at length about where the hell the ideals of Star Trek and the cynicism of Star Wars come from. Storm Over Ryloth slows down Star Wars to give us a beautiful character piece about failure.

    Meanwhile, Requiem for Methuselah shouldn't work, but Kenny and Aspen try to figure out why.We also talk Grievous, Vader, and ableism and if art should live in a context-less vacuum. Finally, we get frustrated at Star Wars fanbois hating the Holdo Maneuver when Storm Over Ryloth has the same maneuver (albeit, much, much slower).

    Truly a F-aspen-ating episode.
