  • Nerd Movies VII - Akira
    Apr 21 2025

    And now it's time for the final nerd movie in our 100-episode list, oh boy. Can you believe we've come this far, dear listeners? It's been a fun ride with all of these movies, exploring everything from space fantasy to dystopia. For our seventh and final nerd movie, we are exploring the nerdiest of nerd genres: anime. So grab your motorcycle, strap in, and power slide with us into 1988's Akira.

  • Reflections on The Waning Enterprise
    Apr 7 2025

    Alas, Golden Age Trek has finally come to an end. We knew it would when we started, but we still had faith... of the heart. But was our faith rewarded? As the sun sets on this era, is there a magical twilight to behold? Let's all hold hands, sing "Kumbaya," and gaze into the twinkling and flickering light of The Waning Enterprise... oh, and also talk about what's coming for Nerd Movies VII.

  • Star Trek Nemesis
    Mar 31 2025

    Having a nemesis is bad enough, but having a Star Trek Nemesis? Oof, it doesn't get wore than that, because when Star Trek goes bad, it goes real bad. And sometimes it gets so bad, the franchise full on dies. Sad times. It's been quite the ride, watching this whole era of Star Trek, but as we learned from The Next Generation, all good things must come to an end. So join us for the end of Golden Age Trek as we watch this final TNG movie.

    Episode discussion starts at 31:16.

    This is the final episode in our look at The Waning Enterprise.

    Hosted by Jaron Hatch, Marc Nielsen, with Jake Barnes, Mindy Barnes, & Ellen Lewis.

  • "Terra Nova"
    Mar 24 2025

    They should have just called this "New Earth." Simple. To the point. I'm always suspicious of the latin titled episodes of Star Trek. There are some good ones to be sure, but sometimes I think they use fancy sounding names to make the stories feel like they're going to be better than they turn out to be. I guess we can determine if this is actually intelligent storytelling, or just another pretentious episode of Star Trek: Enterprise.

    Episode discussion starts at 17:51.

    This is episode 5/6 in our look at The Waning Enterprise.

Okay, I know by this point, it's hard to be surprised by anything, unless, of course, they jump the shark and do a "guy gets pregnant" show or something. Oh well, let's see if they can exceed our expectations in this silly episode of Star Trek: Enterprise.

    Mar 10 2025

    This is episode 87 of our podcast... so can this really be a strange new world? Might it be possible that this is more of a familiar old world? Well-trodden ground? Home sweet home? Can a prequel truly have any thing new to say? The only way to find out is to explore this uncharted episode of Star Trek: Enterprise.

    Episode discussion starts at 17:58.

    This is episode 3/6 in our look at The Waning Enterprise.

  • "Fight or Flight"
    Mar 3 2025

    The Star Trek franchise was in a tricky spot in 2001. Instead of fleeing though, they stood their ground and fought... they had faith of the heart. But was that faith justified? Or should they have cut their loses and flown? All we can do at this point is dig in and watch this life threatening episode of Star Trek: Enterprise.

    Episode discussion starts at 19:01.

    This is episode 2/6 in our look at The Waning Enterprise.
