Deep dives into art and media. We did five years dissecting Deep Space Nine with The Rules of Acquisition. Star Trek is overrated. We went in on David Lynch. That was fun. Now? Biding our time. It happens when it happens.

    Resigned to a Star Trek Disco Inferno

    You probably found this podcast feed because you're a fan of Star Trek.  And if what our anecdotal evidence suggests is true, then you're not a fan of Star Trek Discovery.  That's ok.  Remember when James and Hugh got mad and bailed on that other podcast?  Well it continued, and this is where A Discovery Home Companion ended up.  Maybe you'll like it. 
    Look for "Star Trek Resignation" in all your podcast services.

    Succesion is Over

    Update:  Hey, this file is longer than 30 seconds this time.***
    Here we talk about the TV show we've been the most excited for in a while.  Specifically, the finale. The statute of limitations is over.  So yeah, spoilers for that.  No space stuff, sorry.  
     
    NOT from the patreon! But check it out. There's plenty over there. For instance: Ever read Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy? We did.

    Hear All, Trust Nothing (Lower Decks S3E06)

    Hear All, Trust Nothing (Lower Decks S3E06)

    What about those Rules of Acquisition?  It's back to Deep Space 9!  What you haven't watched the most recent episode? "Hear All, Trust Nothing" is more or less an episode of DS9, so we had to cover it. If you haven't caught up on Star Trek: Lower Decks don't worry, neither have James or Hugh. What is goin on post Dominion War?  Just when does this take place? How do Kira and Quark work as cartoons?  What is going on with all these new Trek shows?  It's almost an old fashioned RoA

    Know nothing about D&D or tabletop role playing games?  Hugh talks to an expert* to figure out just what the deal is.  How much is the past time growing?  What is the history of D&D?   Just how the hell do you play a game where you pretend to be an elf?
