"It's creeping up on you..."

Series 6, Episode 3 - "Corridors from your average Mexican restaurant!"

Welcome back aboard, officer. In this thrilling third episode in the current series of 'Hit or Miss: Star Trek', regular hosts Captain Mike and First Officer D.K. take the helm with no need for guests, as they dive headfirst into the quirky and infamous 'Deep Space Nine' episode, “Move Along Home.” But before we get caught up in the Wadi’s Gamma Quadrant games, there's a brief warm-up discussion, setting the stage for what's to come. Of course, it wouldn’t be Hit or Miss without our beloved segment! This week, we're tackling a legendary Star Trek MMORPG that’s still powering warp engines, a nostalgic look at a retro fictional spaceship, and an alien crew member that left a mark on Trek’s legacy. And if you’re in the mood for another "little" adventure involving the DS9 crew, we’ve got you covered. Will "Move Along Home" be a hopscotch down memory lane, or will it leave us stuck in a game we wish we could quit? Find out in this action-packed episode! CHULA! Move along and watch before we all start singing that catchy "Allamaraine" rhyme!

Series 6, Episode 2 - "Are we making 'Star Trek' or 'Carry On... In Space' here?"

Welcome aboard for the latest episode of 'Hit or Miss: Star Trek'! In this latest deep dive, Captain Mike is joined by guest reviewers Nita and Dag to tackle one of The Next Generation's most infamous episodes—"Sub Rosa."

"It's entirely possible this could be our last podcast. Farewell!"

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!

"It's the USS Party Bus.."

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.

"In a few months it'll be up in lights on Broadway; Kong, the Eighth Wonder of the World."

Episode 89 - "You know what makes you feel okay about losing? Winning."

Welcome to a brand new episode of the Silver Screen Podcast. Today, on the suggestion of our good friend Tobi, we're diving into the high-stakes world of underground poker with 'Molly’s Game'. Join host Mike and his panel of pop culture pros—Tobi, Adrienne, and Sandy (aka "The Discord Crew")—as they ante up for a review of the film that Tobi insisted they couldn’t fold on. This movie was written and directed by Aaron Sorkin (in his directorial debut) and thus the analysis discusses the quick-fire banter, Sorkin-level one-liners, non-linear structure, pacing and visual aesthetics. There's also a deep dive into Jessica Chastain’s powerhouse performance as the poker princess herself, Idris Elba, charming as ever, as the Atticus Finch style lawyer and the infamous "Player X". There's heavy exploration of the real life story portrayed, individual strengths (and weaknesses) of the adaptation and much more analysis and insight more intense and compelling than the high-stakes games Molly ran. Will Adrienne call Tobi’s bluff on his movie pick? Will Sandy go all-in on the film’s sharp dialogue and high-stakes drama? Tune in to find out who’s holding the winning hand and who’s just bluffing their way through. Let the games begin!

TRIGGER WARNING: 49:05 - 53:58. Physical assault, male on female violence, gun violence.
