Episode 204: Not My Prime Directive

We’re finally doing a Star Trek episode!! We’re breaking down every TV series with the good, bad, and ugly as we celebrate one of the most important television properties of all time.

If you’re not a Trekkie (or Treker), fear not. Here’s what else is on deck:

• Jeff Bezos has definitely not locked Lord of the Rings writers in a room until they meet his demands
• Cryptocurrency folks freak out over the block chain being “hacked”, but Tim called that just like he called the destruction of BitCoin
• Rotten Tomatoes continues to combat trolls, to greater or less degrees of success
• Samsung rolls out a 3-screen folding phone, giving you 3 different screens to have that special crack on the corner of
• And DC Comics announces they’re cutting their number of titles in half. And its way more confusing than it sounds.

Only 3 episodes left… thank you all for the amazing ride!

Episode 203: 2nd Floor Distillery

We’ve got an actual pastor on our show (he got lost), and we’re using him as our litmus test on whether our famous moments of geek are famous enough…

Here’s what else is on the agenda:

• We’ve built AI text generator so good the company is afraid to release it, so that should end well
• A study out of Oxford says video games don’t make kids violent, shocking Call of Duty players everywhere
• Captain Marvel is getting exactly the press you think it is
• A new device makes it easy to lojack your kids
• And DC learned making Jesus a sidekick isn’t great marketing
