Venturing Through The Universe: The 100th Anniversary...

Star Trek Stories ·

2025/09/15

Well, dear listeners, we have come to the conclusion of our 100 episode list, Venturing Through The Universe. And while all good things must indeed come to an end, we can still celebrate the time we had together thanks to the magic of a good old fashioned holiday special. We'll laugh... we'll reminisce... and most importantly, we'll debate the finer points of Star Trek. Alas, it's also true that this special signals the podcast being put on indefinite hiatus. But as my good friend Mister Spock

Reflections on Modern Trek

Star Trek Stories ·

2025/09/08

Believe it or not, dear listeners, we have finally made it to the modern day. Star Trek '09, Discovery, Picard, Lower Decks, Prodigy, Strange New Worlds--even Short Treks--they're all in the rearview mirror now. But how successful was our pilot season? Which shows will be picked up by our audiences? Which will leave a lasting legacy? Only time will tell. In the meantime, let's examine how this current era stacks up to the others... and tease what will be coming next for the podcast. Hosted by

"Strange New Worlds"

Star Trek Stories ·

2025/09/01

Alright, y'all, we've been doing this for 100 episodes, how can there be anything strange or new left? What's that, you say? You're saying there are almost 900 more episodes to go?? Goodness me, how on Earth are we supposed to continue on with this trek through the stars? Will it go on forever? Or is it time to finally pull into space dock and give it a rest? These questions, and more, will probably go unanswered in this premiere episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Episode discussion

"Lost and Found"

Star Trek Stories ·

2025/08/25

I sometimes feels like this is the Star Trek show that ended up in the lost and found. It's a shame too, it's such a little gem of a series. It just never found the right home. What about you? Do you have any room in your home for this lost little Star Trek show? You may find that it is a little bundle of joy to brighten your life. The only way to know is to open up your heart to this premiere episode of Star Trek: Prodigy. Episode discussion starts at 18:47 . This is episode 9/10 in our

"Second Contact"

Star Trek Stories ·

2025/08/18

This is more like our 98th contact, but who's counting? Man, if second contact is supposed to be the unglamorous Star Trek assignment, what does that make our podcast? The lowest of the low? I mean, we are a third-rate podcast in a third-rate podcast genre, so that tracks. I mean what? No, we're awesome, whatever, shut up, you don't know me. Why don't you make yourself useful and help us watch this premiere episode of Star Trek: Lower Decks. Episode discussion starts at 13:17. This is

"The End is the Beginning"

Star Trek Stories ·

2025/08/11

Despite what the title might have you believe, this is not the beginning of our coverage of this series. Having watched the first three episodes of this show, it would be more appropriate to call this, "The Beginning is the End." And not a moment too soon, as we were all starting to fall asleep trying to get through them. Unless there is something in this last one that will finally wake this show up? We can only find out by watching this act-one concluding episode of Star Trek: Picard. Episode

"Maps and Legends"

Star Trek Stories ·

2025/08/04

Please don't tell me we're going to need a map and a legend to make sense of this show. We're only two episodes into this series and we already need a guide to figure out the story? This is Star Trek we're talking about, not The Silmarillion. Maybe this new, fancy-fangled Trek is just that complex... or convoluted. Oh well, let's see if we can find our way with this plot-building episode of Star Trek: Picard. Episode discussion starts at 19:06. This is episode 6/10 in our look at Modern

"Remembrance"

Star Trek Stories ·

2025/07/28

I feel like the only time I ever hear the word "remembrance" is in the context of "in remembrance." That doesn't bode well for a series that is supposed to be revitalizing a classic character. Is it possible that this show is dead on arrival? We'll just have to do post mortem after we watch this premiere episode of Star Trek: Picard. Episode discussion starts at 18:21. This is episode 5/10 in our look at Modern Trek. Hosted by Jaron Hatch, Tyson Baker, & Ellen Lewis. Email us at

"Children of Mars"

Star Trek Stories ·

2025/07/21

Would you believe that there is a cover of a David Bowie song in this... and it ISN'T "Life on Mars?" I mean what else is there to say? I guess we can see if there is anything else to dissect in this tiny little episode of Star Trek: Short Treks. Episode discussion starts at 3:34. This is episode 4/10 in our look at Modern Trek.

"Battle at the Binary Stars"

Star Trek Stories ·

2025/07/14

Hmm, I wonder what this episode could be about. Might there be a battle? Some binary stars? It's hard to say. This era of Star Trek is so subversive at times, this might end up being about be a negotiation at a single star. I guess we'll have to check our expectations and watch this prologue concluding episode of Star Trek: Discovery. Episode discussion starts at 17:06. This is episode 3/10 in our look at Modern Trek.

"The Vulcan Hello"

Star Trek Stories ·

2025/07/07

I wonder if a Vulcan Hello is anything like an Irish Goodbye. Instead of leaving without telling anyone, would it be arriving? You know, for how many people there are that still have never heard of this series, it seems to fit. However, is having your arrival unknown mean that it is unwelcome? If a Star Trek series falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Regardless if it does or not, let's all still say hello to this new streaming era of the franchise as we

Star Trek

Star Trek Stories ·

2025/06/30

I know many of you out there have been clamoring for this, but I've been holding out on covering it, since watching Star Trek on a Star Trek podcast is a bit obvious. However, after being worn down by all of you, I have finally decided to give in and watch Star Trek on our show... you bunch of rubes. But will Star Trek live up to its lofty legacy? Will it make for a good episode on our Star Trek podcast? Only time will tell... or, only time travel will tell? Whatever, let's just get this over

Modern Trek

Star Trek Stories ·

2025/06/23

Oh boy, we're back everyone. Much like the franchise itself, we went on bit of a hiatus after Star Trek: Enterprise, but fret not! The revival is here... for better or worse. But what does this new era mean for our podcast? Will we continue on, business as usual? Or will we change it up to bring on new audiences? The only way to find out is to tune in for the final episode selection of our 100-episode list, Venturing Through The Universe. Hosted by Jaron Hatch. Email us at

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. Episode discussion starts at 33:18. Hosted by Jaron Hatch, Marc Nielsen, with Will Thompson, Leah

Reflections on The Waning Enterprise

Star Trek Stories ·

2025/04/07

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

Star Trek Stories ·

2025/03/31

Having a nemesis is bad enough, but having a Star Trek Nemesis? Oof, it doesn't get worse 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

"Terra Nova"

Star Trek Stories ·

2025/03/24

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
