I only started watching Trek as an adult, and never thought it would be for me. This podcast convinced me it was worth a shot after giving up on TNG’s first season a couple of times. I’m so glad I stuck with it, because Trek and Greatest Gen have brought me so much joy. Trek is a bright spot of utopia in a world that often feels dystopian, a reminder that we can dream a better world even when the present feels bleak.
This pod is a banger.
I work blue collar and during a rough day of parking lot heat or hours of tedious prep seeking perfection, they make me laugh and stay positive.
New fan and quite enjoying the takes guys!
Bring it back,
and I’ll support both!
Im so happy to see you guys taking THIS show independent, and now it’s time to call up John and get the other band back together. I NEED to hear you guys review Seven Samurai. ❤️
Long-time viewer, finally figured out how to leave a review. Go-to comfort podcast, it’s been great getting to parasocially hang. As many have said, this podcast has helped through some tough times, thanks for taking the chance on making it. Thrilled you decided to revisit TNG.
Worth your time, great humor and analysis throughout

A long-running, humor-forward analysis of Star Trek series, blending sharp episode breakdown with running gags, personal anecdotes, and behind-the-scenes trivia. Hosts riff on classic and newer entries, exploring ethics, leadership, culture, and technology through a fan-friendly lens that prizes camaraderie and inside jokes as much as rigorous storytelling discussion. Notable traits include a strong chemistry between the hosts, a self-aware willingness to poke fun at their own nostalgia, and a history of evolving production formats (including independent hosting and ad-free subscriber options) that keeps content fresh for Trek enthusiasts and podcast newcomers alike.
