  • The rest of the crew are great too and XRay is hot. Sometime they have weird and awesome topics. But if you're allergic to common sense, you might wanna keep roaming.

  • A breath of fresh air

    Finally a podcast that gets it. Our culture is a total dumpster fire and the films have been trash. As a gamer and a movie enjoyer, you’ll feel right at home with these folks. Also, I promise you the negative reviews are from the very people who think there’s absolutely nothing wrong with the direction our entertainment and culture has been taking.

Q: Is Barb in it?
No, she's not in the newer seasons.
DeDunking the Debunkers with Dan Richards | Forbidden Frontier #119
Q: What's your theory on science being so against this?
Ego, most of it to me. Carl Sagan was kind of the first scientist to really just push through and be like, I'm going to talk to the public first, and then I'm going to talk to my colleagues second.

Q: What do you think about the concept and execution of Star Trek in recent portrayals?
The recent Star Trek portrayals, especially with Star Trek Academy, reflect a significant disconnect from fan expectations and the essence of what Star Trek represents, leaning heavily into concepts of identity politics rather than traditional narrative structures.
