Join Matt as he explores for the first time why is Star Trek the cultural phenomenon that it is today. But since there are over 740+ hours of Star Trek Episodes and 13 movies, Brent's challenge will be to find the best 150 or so that best represent what Star Trek is, the story of Star Trek, and paint Gene Roddenberry's vision of the Future.

The Corbomite Manuever
This is a re-release of our very first episode, the Corbomite Manuever. For some reason, when we ported our show over to a new podcast hosting platform, the first two episodes refused to port. So here it is again, so all of those who are just joining us, or maybe even revisiting the journey.

Matt meets Khan, the one who many people think is the greatest villain in all of Trek. Matt will even admit, he was a bit mesmerized by Khan. Not only that, we also get a lot of in-universe history of what happened between today and the future when we catch up with Kirk and crew. Lots to discuss and dive into for a first watch of Trek.

Customer Reviews
A podcast I love coming back to every time
It’s so amazing to hear Matt’s reactions on his first watch. I also love Brent’s notes and guidance.
I’ve finally been able to tackle ToS with this show, and I’ve been enjoying the rewatch of TNG, DS9 and Voyager. I’m glad that I’ve not yet watched enterprise and I’m so looking forward to my first time watch along with this show.
This is a fantastic podcast and a must listen for any Trekkie-in-the-making or 47-time-watch-thru veteran.
Great Show, Ready for More
This is such a great way to get through the Star Trek Franchise, pre-NuTrek. While I’m not sure of some of the choices of watch vs skip by Brent, he always gives his reasons why and at least he makes a good case. The best part of this podcast is Matt, the new guy. You can tell he’s falling in love with Star Trek and getting beamed up.
Engaging and Fun
This is one of the most engaging and fun podcasts I’ve ever heard. Love it.
