In this episode, we give our first impressions of Star Trek: Discovery and discuss the movies from our younger years that had the most impact on us. We also cover Stranger Things, Blade Runner 2049, and the thirtieth anniversary of The Princess Bride. We also manage to mock 6-year-olds at karaoke and, of course, drop many pony references throughout the episode.

NOTE: The ‘Doctor Nambu’ we refer to in this episode is a character in the anime Gatchaman. Upon further examination (i.e. I did a Google search), the mention in Star Trek: Discovery was most likely a reference to physicist Dr. Yoichiro Nambu.
He tried to kill me with a forklift!
