How do the episodes connect to a larger story arc—and which classic Trek tropes make a return? Does this season honor the spirit of Star Trek… or redefine it? Will it satisfy longtime fans—or boldly bring in a new generation?

Episode 420 - MarkWHO42 Goes to The Oscars Roll out the Red Carpet and prepare the spotlights—Hollywood’s biggest night is here. As the Crown Jewel of 2026 award season, the Oscar nominees spark debate and discussion everywhere from casino betting halls to countless American living rooms. In a year bursting with visionary direction, moving performances, and daring storytelling, the competition is tighter than ever. How does the Academy Award voting process truly work? We explore the idea that while there may be no outright “bad” movies, some undeniably shine brighter than others. Who earned unexpected nominations, and who was left shockingly snubbed? Will the Best Animated Feature race be dominated by major studio blockbusters like Zootopia 2 or KPop Demon Hunter? Will Sinners sweep the major awards with its already record‑setting number of nominations? And ultimately, what film will claim the top prize? For movie lovers watching from home, where can they stream this year’s nominees before the big night? Join Mark Baumgarten, Vicky Jakubowski, Juan Sanmiguel, and special guest Kim Farrah as they break down the surprises, controversies, and biggest questions surrounding the 98th Academy Awards.

Episode 411 - Peacemaker Season 2 Review The second season of Peacemaker was released on HBO Max. Waller is out, and our merry band of misfits are dealing with the aftermath of Season One’s events. Rick Flag Sr. is now the head of A.R.G.U.S. and is looking for the truth behind his son’s death. Why do so many of the characters wrestle with themes of identity, guilt, and self-destruction? Which characters find redemption? Does the Justice Gang interview add to Chris’ self-doubt?  When Christopher Smith explores the doorways/portals in the Quantum Unfolding Chamber (QUD), does he find a parallel universe that might give him the life and love he is searching for? Did we see the problems with this world before the reveal? What is Adrian Chase doing with a basement full of cash and drugs? Does Flag go too far by involving Lex Luthor and exploiting the portals in the QUD? What is next for the DC Universe now that Peacemaker has been kidnapped and exiled to Salvation?  Listen as Juan Sanmiguel and Vicky Jakubowski discuss these topics and more on this episode.
