V'ger Please!

This week, your podcast heroes are confronted with evidence of the existence of a just and benevolent god – and that god is Jonathan Frakes! Against all odds, an episode focusing on Snarf Snarf and Tommy the Bad Boy talking about relationship jealousy and space lizard alien babies is…good? Mostly good? What did we just watch and how was it not terrible? The answer lies in your faith in The Frakes!

While reviewing an episode that is akin to staring into the Mouth of Madness, your podcast heroes scavenge for hot takes. How do you discuss an episode that is 60% made up inane conversation? Do we discuss Snarf Snarf’s inept cake baking skills? The emerging replicator black market head cannon? Maybe the absolutely insulting ending that felt more like a parody then science fiction? Listen and find out how low we sink!

Your podcast heroes get back into the swing of things with the best kind of bad episode - the Harry Kim time warp special! Come join us on a tour de force of Garrett Wang's very worst acting. Watch in amazement as he fails to deliver on any convincing emotion, witness laughably bad actions scenes, and consider that yet again the Voyager writers waste a good idea with bad execution.

Our world is a speck, adrift in a vast and uncaring universe. Your podcast heroes felt this dark reality when they were forced to watch 'Elogium' and then try and find some way to talk about it for your amusement. To you find pain funny? Does the anguished resignation of two nerds in their mid 30's bring you joy? Then behold our dread revelation.

After weeks of suffering, Jonathan Frakes swoops in to deliver onto your podcast heroes a desperately needed respite! In what is unabashedly the best episode of VOY they have seen to date, Joseph and Peter take a nerdy deep dive into The EMH’s adventures with everyone’s favorite socially awkward TNG side character. Don’t worry though – Peter still manages to find a way to share some disturbing information he once found on 4chan.

Your podcast heroes recoil in horror as a Chakotay episodes stares them down with “Initiations”…but suddenly Aron Eisenberg shows up with two tickets to the Kazon Gun Show and things are looking up! Can some decent backstory on the Kmart Klingons overcome the baleful touch of an episode filled to the brim with the most inconsistent characterization of a main character you will find on episodic television? After the mind numbing experience of "The 37's", what can the answer possibly be?

Your podcast heroes get off of to a terrible start on Season Two, suffering through the bizarre “The 37’s”. In an adventure even Tackleberry couldn’t save, Joseph and Peter witness a mish-mash of weird ideas crafted into a true disaster that eclipses all that came before it.  What  was wrong with the writers on this show? What is wrong with us for still doing this? Come join us for a journey where the haunting reality of another 140 episodes of Voyager never felt more crushing!

Join your podcast heroes as they reflect on the season-that-was in this replay of our RIP Season One livestream special! Joseph and Peter hand out their end of season 'awards', answer questions from the audience, and otherwise belittle each other’s opinions. Are you tired of Joseph defending “Emanations”? Then you really shouldn’t listen to this!

Your podcast heroes at last reach the end of their weary Voyager season one journey, but run face first into a terrible, discount version of show TNG did so much better. Watch as a perfectly good premise is wasted on Tuvok and the Maquis Breakfast Club and Snarf Snarf manages to mess the entire ship up with cheese! We are not making this up! It’s as terrible as it sounded! THEY ENDED THE SEASON ON THIS!

The dreaded ‘Snarf Snarf episode’ plagues your podcast heroes this week as the impresario of the Space Hobo Kitchen deals with a potentially deadly illness and Joseph and Peter are forced to watch. Surprisingly great performances ensue, but can the writers pull off a heavy episode filled with real world allegories, PTSD, weapons of mass destruction, and the ever-present specter of death? Sadly, you already know the answer.

The Voyager makeup department clocks some serious OT as the Vidiians rear their rotting heads this week and Peter and Joseph analyze "Faces". Are the Vidiians a subtly written race of intriguingly limited-yet-evil villans or a bunch of dumb, badly written neckbeards? One thing is for sure though - this is an episode where we ALL do it for the nookie.

What do you when you your first officer gets put in a coma from Brain Eating Eating Space Hombres living in a nebula from the wrong side of the tracks? If you are Captain Janeway, you drive your ship right into it…but not before getting a sharp haircut! Your podcast heroes try to make sense an episode filled with paranoia, plot holes, a top notch fight scene, and the sloppiest ending we have seen yet. Come join us on this roller coaster of emotion!

The first of the infamous Voyager holodeck episodes rears its photonic head this week, and your podcast heroes digest the journey to a cross between the Ren Faire if it were staffed by regional LA theater actors. Is “Heroes and Demons” a worthy episode filled with choice EMH LARPing? Come find out as we drop hot takes on the ‘does the transporter kill you’ debate and discuss a grand revelation about a character that isn’t on the show for six or seven minutes.

Despite the best efforts of a random subspace temporal shard, your podcast heroes watch an episode that is like a game whodunit, except you already know who did it. IT’S THRILLING!  More importantly we discuss mayfly space elf power levels, weaponized Vulcan ball stank, and what the show could have been vs. what it is.

Once again your podcast heroes stand divided – but now the tables have turned! Peter calls “Prime Factors” the best episode he has seen so far, but is his love of personal horror blinding him to the weird sex criminal aliens (led by Jeff Goldblum’s eastern European cousin) , another obnoxious alien wardrobe, and weak Janeway writing?  Can Joseph convince him to see the error of his ways? One thing is for sure though – Harry Kim is never going to get laid in the Delta Quadrant at this rate.

In a V’Ger Please first, Joseph and Peter stand on opposite sides on this week’s episode! Was “Emanations” a flawed but still thoughtful episode on faith, or was it terrible schlock garbage that failed to provide the spider monster dungeon crawl is so desperately needed? Two podcasters enter, but only one can leave…keep your Federation Raise Dead scrolls handy for this battle royale!

Much to the regret of your podcast heroes, this week Voyager returned to terrible, terrible form! Listen as Joseph and Peter slog through a miserable attempt at film noir that manages to be the worst kind of bad…painfully boring. Don’t worry though; we set a record for curse words by simply trying to describe this week’s poorly designed alien races!  Come as we enjoy an episode even LaVar Burton couldn’t save.

In the nick of time, your podcast heroes get a reprieve with a quality episode to review! Watch as they are amazed by good story structure, excellent performances, and narrative tension! As the hate gets dialed down for a week, Joseph and Peter replace it with long discussions about artificial intelligence, holodeck technology, and the latest in Peter’s Replicator Plot Hole Saga.

Your podcast heroes face their toughest test yet as the go up against four terrible B plots masquerading as an ‘episode’ of Voyager. We endure predictable space problems, Harry Kim’s deep-seeded psychological issues, Space Snarf Snarf appetizer service on the bridge during a red alert, and the best accidental racism about Native Americans 90’s TV can provide!  Come for the discussion on 24th century drug use, but stay for a treasure trove of Tom Paris sex crimes!

The very best and worst of Voyager come together in an episode that has both of your podcast heroes alternatively horrified and enraged.  Witness Peter’s dedication to identifying sets being reused, British overacting in heavy makeup, all the Space Snarf Snarf medical drama tropes you never wanted, and our spicy hot takes on Janeway being the best while also being the absolute worst.
