Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery, Short Treks & Podcast

They call us Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast, we're back, we're back. They call us Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast, we're back, we're back. We murder a 'cast, one episode at a time, you've never HEARD of a 'cast as perverted as mine. And why is that? Because we have a FIRST TIME GUEST in Brian Rudloff (Marvel Star Wars Explorers) and good ol' reliable Barm back to talk about Michael BURNHAM'S MOMMY! We'll talk about what we like (the feels!) and what we don't (the story!), and other fun stuff like Jordan Peele, the Twilight Zone, the Picard show and the Section 31 show, and what the 1000th season of Discovery will be like. Plus all of our predictions for the end of the season which you all know to be laughably wrong! Hi, Mom…

omg guys the red angel

Airiam Airiam Airiam Airiam Airiam Airiam Airiam! Classic JSLFNSTDP guests Barm and Kregg are joined once again by Sam to talk about Airiam! The Freezer-like girl finally gets her own episode and we finally get to know something about her. Airiam, we hardly knew ye. But you know us, and you know this means a big ol' bundle of podcast fun is about to hack YOUR system. You'll have so many fun memories from this ep you won't be able to decide WHICH ones to upload to your cloud. Sit back, plug in, and enjoy this robot ride. It's gonna slice you like CHEESE.

You knows who cares who the Red Angel is? NOT ME, all I care about is sharing a dream with you, the Discoverino. And that dream is the ultimate Talosian experience. Barm and Kregg are back along with Richard Dunham (Ghibli Minute) to delve into Vena, the Talosians, the Cage/Menagerie, manipulative nostalgia, and some juicy Michael Burnham/Spock DRAMA. Along the way, we'll dish about Section 31 being a cancerous tumor (not a tumor!) that needs to be excised from Disco, the awesomeness of Culber and Pike, Saru's fight club (don't talk about it), how Discovery is ALREADY Tarantino Star Trek, Ethan Peck's Spock, Red Angel BULLSHIT and so much more! Jeez.

Spock! Spock, Spock Spock Spock Spock Spock Spock. Kevin Young (Reopening the Wormhole) Spock Spock Spock, Spock Spock Spock. Spock Spock Spock? Spock Spock Spock, Spock Spock Spock! Spock Spock Spock Spock Spock Spock Spock. Spock Spock Sarek Sybok Spock. Spock Spock Spock Spock Spock. #prayforlorca #prayforsybok

Saru discovers his past is a LIE, and sets out to find the truth about his family, and his ability to transform into the powerful post-Va'harai Kelpien. Ferengi expert Kregg Castillo makes his Season 2 debut on Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast, and discovers that along with Barm and Jack, they are about to become Kelpien/Ba'ul experts as well. It's an exciting time as we talk Ray Bradbury, Armus (of course), Saru's wacky backstory shenanigans, the fun Ash Tyler/Captain Pike dynamic, the ridiculous and delightful over-the-top Ba'ul, Va'harai, making huge society changing decisions on a whim with no information and the tattered remains of the prime directive, and boldly going forward from here! Of course, it wouldn't be a Disco season 2 'cast without those nutty Red Angel theories. THE PODCASTERS SPEAK.

Jack's ApeCast cohost and Trek noob Geoff Clarke is back on the cast to endure Jack's bellyaching about Section 31 and perhaps give him some much needed perspective. Of course, he's not too wild about some other aspects of this episode, particularly those involving a certain doctor in a certain network you may have heard about. Their feelings on the episode, however, are not gonna stop these two goofballs from talking about Dr. Zaius and dinosaurs, characters like Linus and Jett Reno who do not appear in the episode, Tarantino movies and their lack of Schwarzenegger, Star Wars, and whatever other dumb stuff they feel like talking about! Be like Georgiou, and enter into our snake pit!

Kevin decided to stick around for another week to hang out with Barm and Jack and find out just what the heck an obol is and what this Charon character needs with one anyway. Along the way, they revisit the classic soft/hard G debate like the hard Gs that they are, talk Toto's Africa too much, delight in the joys of Spanish-speaking Saru, speculate on the future of everyone's favorite Saurian, Linus and what a future without fear chubs will be like, see how many languages Google can say "mushroom" in it, gush over their love of Jett Reno, and ruminate on the difficulties of podcasting on things that are neither great nor terrible. This podcast is one tasty mushroom you'll want to leave on your pizza for sure.

The latest and greatest episode of Jack's Stilly Little Star Trek Discovery Podcast is here, and guess what? It's a full blown Reopening the Wormhole (re?)union! That's right, Sam Stovold (also of Marvel Star Wars Explorers) and Kevin Young (for about half the episode) join Jack to dish on Point of Light, the first episode of season 3 to really give them pause. Since it's basically an RTW episode, that means it going to get out of hand very quickly as the gang does their classic shtick talking The Fugitive and '94 Oscars, how bad Section 31 is sitting with them, Emperor Georgiou and her wacky antics, Klingon hair, severed infant heads, and an epic mailbag leads Jack and Sam to spiral into a sprawling discussion on what they want from Star Wars! It's got everything, baby! #prayforlorca

If you're looking for some religious inspiration in your life, you've found the one, true faith: Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast! Jack is the Lord, and along with his apostles Barm and Geoff Clarke of the ApeCast, will guide you to podcast heaven as they take a look at the surprising second episode of Disco's second season. It is written that they shall decree their thoughts on Captain Pike, Tilly's spooky new pal, angels, religious undertones, Game of Thrones, Lord of the Rings, Apes and Star Trek, Saru's C-3POness, Canada's #1 drink the Caesar, mushrooms, that ol' Trek feel, and all those other classic Trek topics that you spiritually hunger for. How does it all fit into your life. To understand the context, you'll just have to hit play. Context Is For Kings.

Better late than never! You didn't think Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast would falter in its quest to bring you the ultimate podcast experience for every single episode of the explosive CBS All Access smash hit Star Trek: Discovery, did you? Nope, all the thrills you've come to expect are here with NEW Season 2 attitude. Expect the unexpected, as Jack throws everyone a curveball by bringing a very sleepy Barm on the show to start things off with a bang as they discuss how they like a lot of aspects of Season 2 of Discovery but that it also has some FLAWS…. I guess some things never change. Featuring an all new original song by Kevin Young!

I know, I know, when are they getting to the Season 2 factoryyyyyyy!? We're almost there, but Barm and I had to take ONE more pit stop along the way, and it turned out to be a goshdarned fun new book about Discovery's breakout star Tilly and her wacky teeeeeen years. You ever wished for a little more Judy Blume in your Star Trek? Neither did we, until we got it. The Tilly Book proves you can write a Star Trek book without a starship battle at the end (or at all) or a single phaser shot and still come out on top! All it takes is a little heart, courage and spunk. And mushroom talk. A LOT of mushroom talk.

Magic happened and Jack managed to get three guests to buy and read the definitive highlight of the entire Star Trek franchise, the T'Kuvma comic. But this time it's back to regular old Disco novel/comic business, and that means it's just Barm and Jack talking about the second and third HOTTEST comic EVENTS of 2018. Succession, and the Star Trek Discovery Annual #1! That's right, Disco is FAR from done running the Mirror Universe into the ground, and me and Barm discover that maybe we LIKE it that way! Also, witness the triumphant return of Fungibabble in Stamets Begins, aka Star Trek: Discovery Annual #1. The fungi never stops on Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast.

The thrilling conclusion is here! Jack has been up all night and his facing the harsh of light of morning and some hard truths about his life. Kregg has been sitting in his bathroom for six hours now. They're drunk and they've just spent three hours watching Ewok movies. It's the PERFECT TIME for them to bring a close to the DRUNK STAR WARS SAGA (at least until new Star Wars movies come out), by watching the one Star Wars movie that neither of them have ever seen. The undisputed classic crown jewel of the Star Wars franchise, 2008's "Star Wars: The Clone Wars". What will they think? Will this become their favorite Star War? Find out by firing up your copy and joining them on this adventure! It's the perfect way to spend the last hours of 2018.

The Drunk Star Wars Party rages on as Jack and Kregg follow up Caravan of Courage by immediately watching its superior sequel, Ewoks: The Battle for Endor, and quickly discover any movie with Teek and Wilford Brimley in it can't be that bad. Along the way we'll be offering up all kinds of half-baked theories about what's going on that could be solved by actually paying attention to the movie, and delving deep into the culture and mythology of Endor. Oh, and DIA-BEETUS.

Drunk Star Wars is going full steam ahead to the forest moon of Endor, as Jack introduces Kregg to the wonderful world of Ewok Adventures, and Kregg introduces Jack to the wonderful world of podcasting from the bathroom. Like Mace and Cindel, they are at the beginning of a long and arduous journey. Will there be a Wicket to save them, in this, the DRUNK COMMENTARY TRACK for Caravan of Courage: An Ewok Adventure? There's only one way to find out! Gunda!

Happy Life Day everyone! Your gift is more Drunk Star Wars!... in commentary form. We're going into the deeper gnostic regions of the Star Wars cinematic universe as Jack guides Kregg to some Hi-Third-Oh unseen Star Wars films for him. We're kicking it off with something amazing; the infamous Star Wars Holiday Special! What more can be said here, except to tell you that if you want to follow along with us, try to find a version titled "The Star Wars Christmas Special" (even though that's not what's it called; the War on Christmas started MUCH earlier than we imagined), which also has commercials from the original airing, which are honestly more fun to see than the Special itself. It's like a skyscraper made of hot dogs!

Jack has once again handed the reins over to Continuity Carlos for his 2nd Annual Christmas Special, and what a special it is. Chagrined that Jack left him out of the five million Last Jedi podcasts that he's recorded, Carlos has decided to take matters into his own hands, and assembled a team of podcast all stars, namely DS9's own Thot Gor, Last Jedi star Chewbacca the Wookiee, Charlie Brown's teacher, an African Elephant, and of course, Jack's Silly host Jack Stovold (you couldn't expect him not to keep an eye on things at least). Try and see how far you can get! 'Tis the season for this silly podcast to release its THIRD Last Jedi episode. Of course, it's late because Carlos couldn't get his s**t together in time.

In this thrilling outtake from an ApeCast recording, Jack, ApeCast cohost Geoff Clarke and ApeCast theme song composer Amos Dunn talk about a sick Michael Burnham, the upcomng Picard show, Spaghett, boxes, Tom Jones, and so much more! (Actually, almost nothing more). It's the perfect appetizer to whet your appetite for more holiday fun to come!\\In this thrilling outtake from an ApeCast recording, Jack, ApeCast cohost Geoff Clarke and ApeCast theme song composer Amos Dunn talk about a sick Michael Burnham, the upcomng Picard show, Spaghett, boxes, Tom Jones, and so much more! (Actually, almost nothing more). It's the perfect appetizer to whet your appetite for more holiday fun to come!

Barm's back again for a trip, a Short Trek if you will, to Kaminar, to see the long awaited origin of Saru. And now that we've seen it… well. Just listen to the episode. We're talking about kelp, kelp farming, Kelpiens, Final Fantasy X villages, classic haphazard Discovery storytelling, Stargate, The Predator, JJ Abrams-style Mystery Boxes, and most importantly, Saru, his family, and his abduction at the hands of the ruthless, bloodthirsty Philippa Georgio. Oh, and CGI Hummingbird Bug Things.

Join Jack and Barm on a Calypso cruise to the sora-hawk, Betty Boop and taco-filled future that awaits us some 1300 years from now. While we marvel at the simple beauty of the show, we're also talking short dicks and shorter Treks, Discovery's love of holograms, the surprising ways this reminds them of TNG, some fantastic story ideas for the upcoming animated Trek show, and Calypso, man. Like, what does it mean, what's it all ABOUT, you know what we're saying?

There are two Short Treks out that we haven't even addressed yet, but first, it's vitally important that me and Kregg get drunk and do a commentary for this almost forgotten thirty-four year old sequel to a classic movie. And you'll find 2010 to be much improved with the addition of two drunk guys doing a lot of shitty Russian accents and making "that's what she said" jokes over the film. Starring Helen Mirren, John Lithgow, Roy Scheider, and Bob Fucking Balaban.

Jack and Kregg get drunk and do an audio commentary for 2001: A Space Odyssey, for some reason. It's a thing that doesn't even have "star" anywhere in the title! So fire up your copy of the film and prepare for the only thing that can improve on PERFECTION: two drunk idiots talking over it. This summary can serve no further purpose; Goodbye.

Rejoice! Short Treks are here! New Discovery! But are Short Treks actually Discovery!? Just one of the many thorny issues Jack and friends are diving into as they luxuriate in the first new Silvia Tilly footage in MONTHS. Other topics on the table: Classic TV Tropes that Short Treks have no interest in discontinuing, the fate of 3D movies, Mad Max: Fury Road, when this Short Trek takes place (a subject of particular interest to a reinvigorated Continuity Carlos), what internet memes are like on sentient cat planets, insect larvae, and good ol' Stephen King and Philip K. Dick! Also, dilithium crystals are silly! In the lead up to Season 2, remain short, and remain silly!

Jack is back with Barm again to talk about the third original novel based on the explosive new CBS All Access series, Star Trek: Discovery! As with every other Star Trek: Discovery book, this one does not follow the crew of the Discovery. Instead, it focuses on a tale as old of time: a Kelpien learning to overcome his fear. In that vein, we'll be talking about fear chubs, the ol' Constitution Class, Goro & Mortal Kombat, Saurians, the original Saru make-up, Tholians, the Peliar-Zel and their role in TNG and DS9, and all the latest (as of three months ago) trailers and Season 2 news. This is, without question, the single most exciting podcast you will ever hear.

Are you ready to hear something that's pretty, pretttyyyy good? …..Okay. Curb Your Enthusiasm superfan and all around swell gal Lauren Petronaci joins Jack to talk about her favorite episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm on his Star Trek podcast, for some reason. How else are you going to fill these long, horrible stretches of Discovery-less time? The Bowtie is the answer! Join Jack and Lauren as they struggle to navigate the confusing politics of handicap bathrooms, African-American men wearing bowties and what it could possibly mean, what to do if you may have a racist dog, the unpredictable whims of the lesbian community, dessert party etiquette, and so much more. It's just a typical episode of Curb, but a very special and ATYPICAL episode of Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast! (Special Historical Footnote that absolutely no one would care about: This was recorded the SAME DAY as The ApeCast's coverage of the very first episode of the 1970s POTA TV show.)...Jedi? Please follow Laura's lemur conservation efforts at Lemur Love Inc. on various social media pages!

Just in time for Short Treks, it's another amazing episode of Drunk Star Wars, with Kregg Castillo! (Don't worry, we'll be talking Short Treks soon). Jack and Kregg are reversing the format, as this time JACK is the one who is drunk and seeing the film for the first time! Boy, is he drunk! Listen to him over explain the same things repeatedly and SHOUT about Darth Maul! It's the hottest of hot takes as these two boys are recording this straight after getting home from theaters! (Yes, that's how long ago this was recorded). What should we drink to? Let's drink two (hundred) and see what happens!

Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast is finally back! That of course means Drunk Star Wars with Kregg, Part III, months after it was recorded. Give this five hour + monstrosity a whirl, and you'll soon discover(y) why, as these two drunk idiots spent an inordinate amount of time and pain to get here. Many Bothans died to bring you this information. Anyways, making this into anything coherent at all has kind of sapped me of any energy left to write a snappy summary, so just listen to it, OK?? Just let this episode die… kill it if you have to.

Hello there! We're coming in too HOT and still barely making it in for May (sorry Last Jedi), but we're definitely still flying HALF a podcast. That's right, Kregg and Jack's powers have DOUBLED since the last time you saw them, they are DRUNK and they're back to talk about a movie that Kregg has definitely seen before, although strictly in prequel meme form. We've found a way to save you from our nightmares, and it is this podcast. It is a volcanic podcast, you will be safe here. But it's only because we're so in love with you! As we delve into the wacky and fun world of this profoundly flawed, profoundly entertaining film you will soon learn that only podcasts deal in absolutes. You FOOL! If you're not listening to this podcast, then you're OUR ENEMY. Love can't save you, only this new podcast can do that! Listen to this, and YOU will have the high ground! Another happy landing!

In classic Jack's Silly fashion, here's our promised Part I of Drunk Star Wars with Kregg, coming at you a whole two days after May the 4th! Kregg watches Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones for the first time and gets nice and drunk but still remains his charming self, while Jack is drunker than he expected and begins veering into angry shouty fanboy territory! See how much you can endure! But while their inebriation styles may be different, Kregg and Jack can agree on at least one thing: this movie SUUUUCKS. Get yourself some drinks and spend a few hours with us to find out WHY. Weesa muy muy drunk!

Jack and Barm are finally back to talk about the literary EVENT of 2018, Dayton Ward's Star Trek Discovery: Drastic Measures, and this is no Carlos prank this time. It's the real deal, and they are having a blast talking about a book that they don't really care about very much, starring one immediately dead character from Discovery, and a mirror version of another who technically has never appeared in the show, on a crazy mission in the past to stop another character who appeared in one episode of a different Star Trek show. But why waste time talking about the plot when we can really dig into Dayton Ward's unusual writing style and his propensity for going into great detail about the hair and ethnicity of every new character we meet? And then just talk about Lord of the Rings for a while? Ahh, it's good to be back!

Hey its me Jack Carlos isnt on this eisode. Me and barm read this cool book ny= b Daton Wark about star trek discovey called star trek discovery drastic measures its about lorca and capteain georgio but she wasn't a captain yet and netier was lorca but there teaming up to stop governor kudos after he kills some people because they didn't have a lot of food and kirk id there and nobody knoes wjhat he looks like and it about the story that you hear about in the conshuns of the king from the original star trek it's a real cool book and me that's jack and barm talked a lot about it and how aswesome it is I hope you enjoy the episode and tell jack carlos should be on more

Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast is BACK! Remember Star Trek: Discovery? It's back. In book form. Jack roped old friend and most frequent guest Barm into reading the first Discovery novel, David Mack's Desperate Hours, and they're here to report to all you Discoverinos with their findings. Despite the title, Discovery is nowhere to be found here, as David Mack brings us to a point a year before the show where the USS Shenzhou finds itself assigned to a joint mission with none other than the USS Enterprise under the command of Captain Pike and crew. In the midst of our lively discussion about the many merits and several flaws of this entertaining read, we'll touch upon Barm's history with the 2001 "franchise", David Mack's valiant yet silly efforts to make Discovery fit better into Star Trek continuity (which Carlos has thoughts on), how the book has made us reevaluate our feelings on how season one played out, and our history with Star Trek books in general! We're back, and now so is your will to live!

Well, it took a while but it's finally here! The season finale of Star Trek: Discovery has come and gone, but not Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast! In fact, to celebrate (?) this momentous occasion, Jack has made some phone calls and managed to gather together every single guest that has appeared on the podcast to date for a massive STD orgy! That's right, old pal and JSLFNSTDP mainstay Barm, Ferengi/Mycelial Network expert Kregg Castillo, Jack's ApeCast co-host Geoff Clarke, his Reopening the Wormhole co-hosts Sam Stovold and Kevin Young, and Ghibli Minute co-host Richard Dunham all drop by to witness the epic struggle between Continuity Carlos and his Mirror counterpart, say "T'Kuvma" a lot, describe the gritty Jetsons reboot the world needs right now, and just chat about the future of the mycelial network, Klingon penises, Twin Peaks, the Enterprise, about what works and what doesn't in Discovery, what's gonna happen on this podcast until season 2, and attempt to describe the entire show so far in one word. Once you enter Mr. T'Kuvma's house, you'll never want to leave! T'KUVMA!

Geoff Clarke, Jack's cohost on The ApeCast, comes back for another spectacular episode of Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast, and they have a lot to talk about this week! Has Discovery righted the ship after last week's questionable outing? The answer is… kind of? It's more complex than that, and Jack and Geoff have FEELINGS, both good and bad on a lot of the crazy stuff that happens in this ep! Along the way, they stop to talk about ideal beards, Admiral Cornwell and what the hell she, or anyone else in this episode is thinking, shooting fortune cookies, just what in the heck the Klingons did to Voq/Tyler, a good Tilly moment and a bad Tilly moment, what, if anything, Discovery is trying to say, and AGRI-TRANSPORT BOOSTERS. It's a gormagander of a time to get you all pumped up for that finale tonight!

Now that we're out of the Mirror Universe, before we dive back into the Klingon war, take a break from all your worries with a little Star Wars! Before Jack was ever on What Were We Watching's fantastic Last Jedi roundtable discussion (listen to it at whatwerewewatching.com!), he recorded this fun little Last Jedi discussion with old buddy and JSLFNSTDP standby Barm, waaaaay back in 2017. And if there's one thing Star Wars has taught us, it's that prequels are good! Listen to Jack inadvertently say many of the things he said on WWWW (but also a lot of stuff he DIDN'T) in slightly different ways, but this time with a different guy! Where things diverge is with a lot more Star Trek, Star Wars EU universe, George Lucas impressions, Force Awakens, Rogue One, podcast shop talk and a billion other fun things. Purple Hair! Red Sand! Blue Milk! White-hot passion for Star Wars! It's all here.

Ferengi Expert/Mycelial Network Scholar Kregg Castillo is back again this week to dish with Jack about one of the biggest episodes of Discovery yet. But is it any good? That question, along with many others you never even knew you had, will be answered as Jack and Kregg also dive into Star Wars, the future of the podcast in a post-season one world, Caprica, Godzilla cartoons, how Stamets is like a Power Moon, the mysteries of the mycelial network, why Lorca sounds like a TIE Fighter, the world of snuggling and watching Battlestar Galactica together they wish they could have had, and whether this big Lorca twist was any good at all! (Spoiler Alert: it wasn't.) The big twist here is that Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast is as glorious as it ever was!

Jack is back, this time with pals Barm, Kregg and Sam to talk about Vaulting Ambition, both the episode of Discovery and the quality possessed by the show. Whether the show lives up to its vaulting ambitions is a question they'll debate, along with the morality of eating meat (even if it is delicious threat ganglia), the impossible burger, what the hell happened to Voq, the reality of Culber and the mycelial network, the regal grandeur of Emperor Phillipa Georgiou Augustus Iaponius Centaurius, family ties in the mirror universe, and just who the heck this show is supposed to BE for, anyways. Along the way, Jack can't remember what podcast he's on, Barm can't tell the differences between flowers and genitalia, and we're all not really sure what's what anymore. Listen and determine YOUR quantum variance!

It's FINALLY here! This week two new guests join Jack and his ApeCast co-host Geoff – Kevin Young of Reopening the Wormhole and Richard Dunham of the Ghibli Minute podcast! It's a podcast co-host extravaganza, and you better believe Carlos is taking notes! It's going down as they all dish on the big Ash Tyler/Voq revelations, nerd out about Andorians and Tellarites, once again try to make sense of the Mirror Universe, argue about whether Dr. Doom is more of a Spider-Man or a Fantastic Four villain, nominate Turbo Vader as top Star Wars villain, have a Michelle Yeoh love-fest, spend a surprising amount of time talking about Star Trek: The Animated Series, and go in depth on their opinions of Discovery's strengths and weaknesses. It's one of the biggest, most BADASS episodes of this podcast so far, and that's saying a LOT.

He's finally back, performing for you! That's right, the long wait is over, and Discovery, and by extension Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast, is back! And they are both on FIRE! Joining Jack for the first time in 2018 are old buddy Barm and Ferengi expert Kregg Castillo, to enlighten us all on such topics as the mechanics of the Mirror Universe, what kind of costumes they liked to wear as children, proctology and the necessity of not keeping assholes waiting, how great Captain "Killy" is, what Jonathan Frakes brings to the table as a director, that new Star Tarantino project, and so much more silly little friendly neighborhood bullshit. Plus, stick around to hear possibly the greatest email that has ever been written. Hail the Empire!

Hey its Carlos jack let me do a episode of the show, its a xmas episode. We are going to be talking about xmas and continuity it's a really fun show ur gionna love it I think. Im talking about signfeld and how stupid it is because of all the mistakes in it and how its not really a good show and I don't now why it is so popular.

The "midseason finale" of Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast is finally here, and it WAS WORTH THE WAIT. In this mega-sized and laugh-filled look at "Into the Forest I Go", Jack has assembled all of the previous guests (and one new one!) under one (Skype) roof and they can hardly contain themselves, or even ever just stop saying the word "T'Kuvma". They're here to bust a gut talking about Klingon boobs, Starfleet sideburns, crazy plot theories, the BEST way to open doors and turn on lights, George Lucas's plans for Star Trek Special Editions, the nuttiness of Lorca's plan and so much more. And maybe, just maybe, they'll be able to help Continuity Carlos step out from under Jack's shadow and become his own man.

Jack's cohost from The Apecast Geoff Clarke makes his third appearance on Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast, and boy is he charming! They have a gormagander of a time talking about their mutual love of Saru, the Klingon problem, the Cornwell saga, whether there's a difference between complete harmony and oblivion, Skyrim, Mario Paint, Ash and Burnham KISSING, Geoff Thoughts, Midnight Meat Train, their plans for a Marge vs. the Monorail Minute podcast, and so much more! This is the ONLY place to get Continuity Carlos' hot take on Star Trek Into Darkness!

Ferengi Expert and frequent Reopening the Wormhole guest Kregg Castillo makes his debut on this podcast to talk with Jack and old standby Barm about an episode of a TV show that will most likely never have a Ferengi in it. But it DOES have HARCOURT FENTON MUDD, time crystals, a gormagander, a Lorca death reel, war steam and so much else, and you better believe we're talking about ALL OF IT. Come with us as we explore Kregg's heritage, expose the dark heart of Hollywood, visit Jack's news desk and see the ever-changing world of Japanese titles of things. HARCOOOOURT!

Geoff Clarke, co-host of The ApeCast, joins Jack for the second week in a row to talk about Lethe! Specifically, about what Lethe means, what Sarek and Sonic the Hedgehog have in common, how many moons Vulcan has, what Lorca has in his pants, Mark Lenard, and, as an afterthought, stuff like the delicate relationship between Sarek, Michael, and Spock and Lorca sexin' admirals. Continuity Carlos also has a lot to say to this week, and the wedge between him and Geoff widens. Grab some single malt, throw on some soft jazz and get ready. It's basically the best thing you're ever going to hear.

Jack welcomes friend and Star Trek noob Geoff Clarke to the show, mostly so he can just sit there and show off, spewing Trek trivia at the poor guy. But there's also more tardigrade talk, Mudd mayhem, Saru shenanigans, and SO MUCH CONTROVERSY TO COVER. Cover your ears, cause the F-bombs are dropping, and men are brushing their teeth together! What's next, a Planet of the Apes podcast!? Don't be ridiculous!

Third time's a Barm as Jack is once again joined by his good friend to talk about tardigrades, threat ganglia, Michelle Yeoh's skull and all the other things everyone loves about Star Trek: Discovery! Throw Guinan, some classic TNG episode talk, and some Arrested Development jokes and you got yourself a stew, baby! We're just two adults getting a stew on, and the name of that stew is simple: The Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery episode about The Butcher's Knife Cares Not For The Lamb's Cry. TardiGRADE A PRIME.

Special guest Barm is back to join Jack and a basket of deplorables on a magical shuttle ride to board the USS Discovery, and you're invited! They can't help but gush in their schoolgirlish way about all the new things to digest on this crazy new ship.
