Jack's Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast

It’s Round 2 of Jack and Barm’s animated discussion about cartoons, and this time they’re tackling one of the most puzzling Short Treks yet:  The Girl Who Made the Stars!  MICHAEL BURNHAM MAKES HER SHORT TREKS DEBUT.  It’s the first ever CGI animated Trek, and with it comes all the baggage that carries.  The SoCal Mall Boys dish on creepy Toy Story 1-esque CGI characters, annoying “kid-speak”, cool Abyss inspired aliens, how long anatomically modern humans have existed, creation myths, the untapped potential of CGI animation, how awesome Sarek is, and ultimately uncover the “Reverse Goku Situation.”  It’s an episode as out of this world as a little Michael Burnham’s bed.

Barm is back to talk with Jack about the first animated Star Trek production in forty-five years!  Join them as they dive right back into the mycelial network to talk tardigrades, robots, Kirk Thatcher, Khan, Engineering, Chris D’Elia, WALL-E, Rogue One, classic nutty moments from the original series, old cartoons, sloppy continuity errors and so much more.  Plus, it’s a total Michael Giacchino love-fest.  This tardigrade egg is hatching a winner!

Short Treks Season 2 continues, and nearly two months later, Jack’s Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery and Short Treks Podcast is on the scene! That’s right, Jack is joined by Barm and Kregg Castillo, his most frequent guests of this venerable modern Trek podcast to talk Pike in more Sidhu-able fashion than usual!  Baby Yoda, Tholians, and BDSM play, oh my!  The boys also take a moderate dive into The Mandalorian, while the internet still cares about it.  WE care, too.  And when you hear what we have to say about Chingy, Starbases, and Bolian hair…. so will you.

Short Treks Season 2 continues, and nearly two months later, Jack’s Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery and Short Treks Podcast is on the scene! Or should we say, The ApeCast is on the scene? That’s right, Jack is joined by his ApeCast cohost of the venerable POTA podcast to talk Tribbles in a bit Archer a fashion than usual!  Zelda and Cereals and video games, oh my!  The boys also take a shallow dive into the Rise of Skywalker, long after the internet has stopped caring about it.  But WE care.  And when you hear what we have to say about Trill officers, Klingons, and Tribble hair…. so will you.

Short Treks Season 2 Is upon us, and nearly two months later, Jack’s Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery and Short Treks Podcast is on the scene! Or should we say, Reopening the Wormhole is on the scene? That’s right, Jack is joined by Sam Stovold and Kevin Young of the venerable DS9 podcast to talk Spock in the Number One way with a session of Q&A!  Upjohns and Unamatrices and horses, oh my!  The boys also take a deep dive into the Disco Season 3 trailer and the second Picard trailer, long after the internet has stopped caring about them.  But WE care.  And when you hear what we have to say about Trill Pools, Lurians, and Michael Burnham and Data’s hair…. so will you.

(FANS ONLY)  REVELATIONS!  Shocking as it may be, long before Jack’s Silly Little Silly Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast, your beloved Jack was a mere co-host of other shows.  In this very special and long and boring peek behind the curtain, Jack has taken something he had inadvertently recorded after an RTW session and turned it into gold.  SEAN DAVIS (After The Credits)  makes his debut on the show, in a way he never dreamed of nor wanted.  Listen to Jack, Sean and friend of the show and brother of Jack, Sam (until he falls asleep) talk inside baseball about the podcasting game, love each other’s shows, blab about dumb shit, solve all the problems in Disco and Trek fandom (and a divided America)  and THEN, dive deep into how fucking GREAT the finales of both LOST and Battlestar Galactica and HOW WRONG YOU ARE TO HATE THEM.  Unfortunately, due to the massive popularity of the show, we are no longer ad free.  But lord knows what these commercials are trying to sell…  FYI, this episode is for

Jack and his best buddy Barm talk about The Enterprise War, by John Jackson Miller, a very fun book starring Captain Pike, Spock, and a pirate Lurian (like Morn from DS9) in a powered exoskeleton.  They’re also diving back into the mailbag, and doing a deep dive and giving you their room-temperature takes on what was at the time the hottest explosion of Star Trek news!  The Picard Trailer, Short Treks, Disco Season 3, and Lower Decks are discussed.  I can say, without any hyperbole, that is the greatest thing ever recorded.

A drunken Jack comes back home after a long night to talk with a very patient Kevin about Discovery.  That’s right, it’s Jack’s Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Electric Light Orchestra: Discovery Podcast!  1979 ELO album Discovery is what the boys are talking here, as Jack revisits the album for the first time in over a decade, and Jack DISCOVERS it for the first time!  Kevin also helps Jack to understand what music is and how it works, and endeavors to keep the show listenable, as they take a song=by-song look at the album and DISCOVERY DISCOVERY is VERY DISCO. 

You Disco listeners asked for it, you got it! That’s right, it’s the first, best, destiny of any Star Trek Disco podcast:  The long-awaited Curb Your Enthusiasm/Godzilla: King of the Monsters episode you slobbering fanboys CRAVE!  Curbspert Lauren Petronaci is back again to talk about one of Larry David’s craziest adventures.  Ted Danson!  Mary Steenburgen!  Jeff Garlin!  MacEnroe!  Mothra!  I feel pretty confident in my assertion that this is the only Star Trek: Discovery podcast that brings you a Curb Your Enthusiasm/Godzilla: King of the Monsters episode out there.  Plus, one HELL of a mailbag and Game of Thrones talk!  Remember when people cared about that?  Pretty,prettttttaaaay good.  Okay. 

Beverly. Hills. NINJA.  Has another film ever risen above Dennis Dugan and Chris Farley’s nuanced and sensitive portrayal of intercultural tensions between 1990s American coastal elites and that of ancient Japanese ninjas?  No.  There hasn’t.  This is the best one.  To celebrate this masterpiece, Barm has once again joined forces with Jack for another movie commentary to commemorate The Summer of Stuff That’s Not Star Trek, Except When It Is, by talking over BEVERLY HILLS NINJA, Chris Farley’s magnum opus.  THIS is what Star Trek: Discovery podcasts are all about.  Hi-YA!

Well, folks, Disco Season Two is over, and we know ALL about the Red Angel and what each BURST was. I guess that about wraps it up for the podcast for the year, huh? NOPE! It’s the beginning of The Summer of Stuff That’s Not Star Trek, Except When It Is. And what better way to kick it off than with something that’s almost, but not QUITE Star Trek? That’s right, it’s finally time for the now nearly legendary (among like, five people) lost episode of JSLFNSTDP from the vault: the Galaxy Quest Commentary Track, with none other than Barm, making his audio commentary debut. He never gave up, and never surrendered. Can the same be said for you, the listener? There’s only one way to find out!

It’s the Season Finale, and most of the gang is here to yakety yak yak about it, Season 2 in general, and the future of Star Trek: Discovery, as well as a billion other things!  It’s an all-star affair, as Jack is joined by Ferengi expert Kregg Castillo, Geoff Clarke (The ApeCast), Sam Stovold (Marvel Star Wars Explorers), Kevin Young (Reopening the Wormhole), and Richard Dunham (Ghibli Minute), while Barm and Brian Rudloff remain with us in spirit.  The Red Bursts have led you inexorably to here, and you’ll soon find parting with Season 2 of Jack’s Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast is the sweetest sorrow!

This week, on JSLFNSTDP: WHEN STOVOLDS COLLIDE! For the first time ever, two Disco watching brothers record a podcast all by themselves, and Such Sweet Sorrow it is, for they are here to talk about the endless succession of heartfelt speeches and tearful goodbyes that is Season 2’s penultimate episode.  But they are also here to figure out just what exactly Starfleet’s OTHER general orders are, reminisce on 90’s Venom and Carnage video games, go HAM on their season 3 theories, share each other’s impressions of the revamped Enterprise, discover their Po problems, and fantasize about sexy mirror universe sex.  Make sure YOUR computer has enough RAM to process all this brotherly love!

It’s time for another rip-roaring episode of Jack’s Silly weeks after the fact, which means everyone’s still moaning about Control being the Borg!  To assist in said moaning, Jack has enlisted the help of two CLASSIC GUESTS, both known for having falling asleep during podcast recordings!  Try to guess which one does that on this episode!  Aside from that, we’re talking DISCO, i.e. Discovery’s character problems, how Pike still manages to be cool in the midst of fairy tale magic Klingon time crystal land, the long-awaited return of TIG and LINUS(!),  and beautiful temples.  We’re also talking auto-antonyms and how crazy English is, the Fockers franchise, remembering John Steuer, praising the non-Snyder corners of the DCEU, and #nostalgiabaiting (#nostalgiabating?) about the Discovery-themed Shady Records compilation album.  Grab your time crystal and spore jump into FUN!  End theme by  Klinginem.

They call us Jack’s Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast, we’re back, we’re back.  They call us Jack’s Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery Podcast, we’re back, we’re back.  We murder a ‘cast, one episode at a time, you’ve never HEARD of a ‘cast as perverted as mine.  And why is that?  Because we have a FIRST TIME GUEST in Brian Rudloff (Marvel Star Wars Explorers) and good ol’ reliable Barm back to talk about Michael BURNHAM’S MOMMY!  We’ll talk about what we like (the feels!) and what we don’t (the story!), and other fun stuff like Jordan Peele, the Twilight Zone, the Picard show and the Section 31 show, and what the 1000th season of Discovery will be like.  Plus all of our predictions for the end of the season which you all know to be laughably wrong!  Hi, Mom…

omg guys the red angel

Airiam Airiam Airiam Airiam Airiam Airiam Airiam!  Classic JSLFNSTDP guests Barm and Kregg are joined once again by Sam to talk about Airiam!  The Freezer-like girl finally gets her own episode and we finally get to know something about her.  Airiam, we hardly knew ye.  But you know us, and you know this means a big ol’ bundle of podcast fun is about to hack YOUR system.  You’ll have so many fun memories from this ep you won’t be able to decide WHICH ones to upload to your cloud.  Sit back, plug in, and enjoy this robot ride.  It’s gonna slice you like CHEESE.

You knows who cares who the Red Angel is?  NOT ME, all I care about is sharing a dream with you, the Discoverino.  And that dream is the ultimate Talosian experience.  Barm and Kregg are back along with Richard Dunham (Ghibli Minute) to delve into Vena, the Talosians, the Cage/Menagerie, manipulative nostalgia, and some juicy Michael Burnham/Spock DRAMA.  Along the way, we’ll dish about Section 31 being a cancerous tumor (not a tumor!) that needs to be excised from Disco, the awesomeness of Culber and Pike, Saru’s fight club (don’t talk about it), how Discovery is ALREADY Tarantino Star Trek, Ethan Peck’s Spock, Red Angel BULLSHIT and so much more!  Jeez.
