Trek Wars Trek Wars Podcast

Aspen is sick! And suffering from The Paradise Syndrome!

Star Trek fails to show up this week as we act out of character and nitpick the flaws in Paradise Syndrome. Kenny talks about the Malevolence as an analog to the German Battleship Bismarck. And we dunk on Rise of Skywalker some more (sorry TROS lovers).

Also, both franchises deal with commanding stuff.

Our friend Andrea DiMauro-Walton joins us to talk AHSOKA. And Star Trek, too, I guess. Aspen and Andrea talk about the Romulan Commander. Kenny talks about how Anakin just seems like a guy now (and why that's GOOD). Andrea talks about her experience with The Clone Wars and how kids aren't stupid. 


And Aspen talks about Star Trek as Regency Drama.

We start two new seasons at once!

Kenny talks about the bold mission statement that is Ambush. Aspen talks about individualizing the clones. We both talk about The Clone Wars - chronological order versus release order.

And Kenny introduces listeners to Fred Freiberger and sets Aspen up for a new season-long arc.

We've got two backdoor pilots!

Both Gene and George get unprecious with what's come before. They break canon and create a new character that becomes the focus. One is the American Doctor Who. The other one is Aspen's favorite Star Wars character.

YOU DECIDE WHICH IS WHICH!

Neoliberalism!

Aspen talks about Neoliberalism and Revenge of the Sith. Kenny asks for a definition of what Neoliberalism means. We also talk about what morality looks like in Bread and Circuses.

Also, auteur theory is the only consistent way to talk about the Star Wars Prequel Trilogy (sorry not sorry)

And Joel T. Partner makes his yearly appearance (see you in 2025, Joel!)

Great! Star Trek predicted tech bros taking over everything in 1968!

The Ultimate Computer rips up everything thanks to Dorothy Fontana. Meanwhile, Clone Wars expands to 12 minutes an episode and we're all the better for it. Aspen talks about how Grievous rules. And Kenny hates Grand Admiral Thrawn (a tangent).
