Lethal Sideburns (Prodigy S2E2)

Author: Uxbridge-Shimoda LLC February 14, 2025 Duration: 43:14

When Asencia pre-poisoned the well on Solum, Gwyn’s failed attempt at first contact leads her to a younger version of her father. But when Admiral Janeway arrives at the space hole only to hear from a creepy talking orb, a series of loud-mouthed gaffes by Dal results in a capital Dun Dun Dun into the anomaly. What’s the scariest thing humans have ever invented? How would we know if the rest o the universe is completely fucked up? Is the orb holding something in its little hand? It’s the episode that remains divided over whale penises.

If you're looking for a companion for the latest Star Trek series that feels more like hanging out with friends than reading a dry review, Greatest Trek: New Star Trek Reviewed might be your new weekly ritual. This podcast serves as an unofficial, irreverent aftershow, tackling each new episode from the expanding universe of modern Trek-whether it's Discovery, Picard, Strange New Worlds, or any of the animated entries. Hosts Adam and Ben dive in every Friday with a recap that's equal parts review and roast, never taking the material too seriously despite their obvious affection for it. Their approach is conversational and often comedic, filtering the grandeur of Star Trek through a lens of relatable humor and the occasional bit of filth. You'll hear them dissect plot points, character choices, and the latest galactic crises with the enthusiasm of lifelong fans who are also willing to poke fun at the franchise's quirks. It's a specific kind of camaraderie that makes this podcast feel like a debrief with fellow viewers after the credits roll. The show is produced by Uxbridge-Shimoda LLC, the same team behind The Greatest Generation, another Star Trek podcast they humorously note is hosted by guys slightly embarrassed to have a Star Trek podcast. That self-aware, down-to-earth tone is what defines the listen-it's less about authoritative criticism and more about sharing the experience of enjoying new Trek, flaws and all.
