Our deepest apologies to those who don't care about 2000's pop and hip hop. We got a *little bit* side tracked after discovering Rat doesn't know the icon that is Ciara. As for Deep Space Nine, though! We have an inconceivable amount of cameos, some sweet, sweet Garashir romance, and the great O'Brien Must Suffer trilogy.

Today's modern recommendation is Bottoms (2023).

It's time for STAR TREK! From the depths of the Gamma Quadrant to a weird amount of Pokemon and Homestuck references, we're getting into the early days of Deep Space Nine. They've got everything; Q, politics, family values, bisexuality, buckets, and... ear touching. A lot of ear touching. Unfortunately, this time an ear isn't just an ear.

Today's modern recommendation is Yellowjackets.

I wish we had a punch line here, but it's just bad. Prepare yourself for post-9/11 alien invasions, human rights violations so numerous we forgot to count, and the uncomfortable undertones anyone who's seen a Brennon Braga show know are coming. Unfortunately, this might make Spy Kids and The Next Generation hard to watch.

It's a sad day. Not because we have to keep watching bad shows, but because we must mourn the failure of a good one. In this weeks episode, we discuss Mercy Point, a short lived sci-fi medical drama that actually knew what it was doing. It could have been the missing link between ER and Star Trek, but instead is was a footnote in UPN's catalog. We get into everything from Joe Morton's blessing to sci-fi, Mr. Data's long lost daughter, and what exactly make a sci-fi medical drama tick.

Today's modern recommendation is Lisa Frankenstein (2024).

Deep breaths. It's almost done. But we have words for the Cleopatra 2525 team. First of all, how dare you. Second of all, you've posthumously ruined Xena. Third of all, I'm glad this show got cancelled and ended up in the cliffhanger that will never be resolved.

Today's modern recommendation is touching grass.

Listeners please beware, you'll end up pulling out your hair on this one. This show is the single most frustrating show to appear on this podcast. We can't even keep up the pretense of professionalism. Someone decided it was a good idea to throw Xena in a scifi blender and see what came out. Unfortunately, they forgot some important parts. Like good writing.

Today's modern recommendation is Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.

The cuntery continues in the last episode of Alice (2009). Alice is faced by the truth about Jack and that far out babe, Dutchess, Hatter and the March Hare having something going on, and the daddy issues are getting out of control. Also the O'Brien curse is holding on strong. Poor guy.

From the mind that brought us the iconic Alice in Wonderland (1999), we have Alice (2009), a SyFy original miniseries that stands out among their childhood classic adaptations as something truly brilliant. Let's get into all the campy goodness between Alice kicking ass, Mad Hatter serving bisexual nonbinary cunt, and our seasonal Tim Curry appearance.

And a very happy birthday to our dear Rat! Everyone's favorite gremlin is celebrating this year with a viewing of Star Trek (2009) and we discover the strength of Pavlov's effect. Multiverses, multiple Spock's, and the most soothing space sounds known to man.

Things are heating up at Blake Holsey High. We're in the throws of betrayal, romance, and intertemporal drama. Let's get into all the gritty details as Josie jumps to conclusions to the detriment of reality and the Pearson's try to achieve greatness.

Back with the nerds of Black Hole High, we finally get a peek at the lore behind the curtain. The Blake Holsey science club is starting to get answers, but it's only giving them more questions. Like why do Josie and Vaughn's DNA spiral the opposite directions? How does the janitor exist and perceive every known reality? And most of all, why is Josie's clone cosplaying the goth Michelin Man?

It's a very happy birthday this week for Bo! To celebrate, we're talking Johnny Mnemonic, starring Keanu Reeves and based on a short story of the same name. There's a lot left to unpack here, between the reality of the brains storage capacity in 1995 and the cocaine addicted dolphins hacking into said brains. Mix it all up with a little dystopian flavored Ice-T and I think we've got a party!

We're back! The new season is kicking off strong with a nostalgic hit for the sci fi nerds. Bo and Rat are discussing season 1 of Strange Days at Blake Holesy from the good, the bad, to the down right hilarious. It's a skip down the Discovery Kids memory lane! Unless you're Canadian. I don't know where it aired in Canada. Sorry. Black holes, absent parents, and invisible teenagers; they've got it all at Blake Holsey High!
