Trek Wars

Which is better: Star Trek vs. Star Wars? That's the question hosts Aspen Webster and Kenny madison ask each week. To solve it, we pit an episode of Star Trek versus an Episode of Star Wars. We also talk sociology, philosophy, gender dynamics, and get very, very political each week. Will we ever answer the question?

  1. Mystery of a Thousand Moons vs. The Lights of Zetar

    OCT 11

    Mystery of a Thousand Moons vs. The Lights of Zetar

    This week's theme? Frustrating world-building. Mystery of a Thousand Moons feels like a latter day George Lucas episode: a follow-up ep shoehorning in unrelated thematics that never gel. It also features a young boy.  Filoni and co. seemingly grit their teeth during the Filoni Zoni for the BTS, so you know we talk about it. For Lights of Zetar, we talk about the gaslighting of our protagonist in the ep. Which is funny, because the episode is literally about empowerment. And Kenny meets his new favorite character. __________________________________ Get early, extended episodes on our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/trekwarspod Watch us! https://www.youtube.com/@trekwarspod Theme by Tosin Awofeso Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/trekwarspod https://bsky.app/profile/trekwarspod.bsky.social Want to ask us questions?

  2. Blue Shadow Virus vs. That Which Survives

    OCT 4

    Blue Shadow Virus vs. That Which Survives

    These certainly were two episodes! Aspen and Kenny DISAGREE. What do they disagree on?? Guess you'll have to listen and find out! (hint: Sexy Gungan ladies). And who's this mysterious writer on Star Trek, Michael Richards? Also everyone should play Baldur's Gate. __________________________________ Get early, extended episodes on our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/trekwarspod Watch us! https://www.youtube.com/@trekwarspod Theme by Tosin Awofeso Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/trekwarspod https://bsky.app/profile/trekwarspod.bsky.social Want to ask us questions?

  3. The Hidden Enemy vs. The Mark of Gideon

    SEP 27

    The Hidden Enemy vs. The Mark of Gideon

    The Hidden Enemy changes the game for the Clones. And The Mark of Gideon is an episode. Aspen loves Detective Obi-Wan and Detective Anakin. Kenny loves bureaucracy. Aspen has a big crush on Asajj Ventress. And we wonder why Mark of Gideon didn't lean into any of the many ideas it brought up. __________________________________ Get early, extended episodes on our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/trekwarspod Watch us! https://www.youtube.com/@trekwarspod Theme by Tosin Awofeso Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/trekwarspod https://bsky.app/profile/trekwarspod.bsky.social Want to ask us questions?

  4. Extended Ep: Trespass v. Let That Be Your Last Battlefield (feat. Jessie Earl!)

    SEP 21

    Extended Ep: Trespass v. Let That Be Your Last Battlefield (feat. Jessie Earl!)

    Aspen and Kenny are joined by the illustrious Jessie Earl - you might know her from her entire job being Star Trek (and a lot of Star Wars too!).  The trio discuss how this week's Star Trek is ironically on point about race by demonstrating the dangers of centrist, respectability politics. We also talk about how it’s nice to see the Jedi be more than space cops (AJAB).  Not only do we discuss our episodes of the day, the Patreon portion of the conversation was too good not to share on the regular feed. You lucky dogs. __________________________________ Check out Jessie on her Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JessieGender1, on Twitter at @jessiegender and on Nebula at https://nebula.tv/jessiegender. __________________________________ Get early, extended episodes on our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/trekwarspod Watch us! https://www.youtube.com/@trekwarspod Theme by Tosin Awofeso Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/trekwarspod https://bsky.app/profile/trekwarspod.bsky.social Want to ask us questions?

  5. Whom Gods Destroy vs. Defenders of Peace

    SEP 16

    Whom Gods Destroy vs. Defenders of Peace

    Aspen hates Whom Gods Destroy. Kenny loves Defenders of Peace (and so does Aspen).  Is the Galactic Republic a strictly American analog? We also discuss the nature of conflict. Also, Uhura, Sulu, and Chekov are constantly undercut. Why is that? __________________________________ Get early, extended episodes on our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/trekwarspod Watch us! https://www.youtube.com/@trekwarspod Theme by Tosin Awofeso Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/trekwarspod https://bsky.app/profile/trekwarspod.bsky.social Want to ask us questions?

  6. Jedi Crash vs. Elaan of Troyius

    SEP 6

    Jedi Crash vs. Elaan of Troyius

    What does it mean to sacrifice one life over 1000? And what does it mean to be a horny Helen of Troy analog?  Aspen talks about the nature of empathy. And Kenny talks about Lajos Egri. You know, Lajos Egri? Everyone knows! __________________________________ Get early, extended episodes on our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/trekwarspod Watch us! https://www.youtube.com/@trekwarspod Theme by Tosin Awofeso Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/trekwarspod https://bsky.app/profile/trekwarspod.bsky.social Want to ask us questions?

  7. The Empath vs. Gungan General

    AUG 31

    The Empath vs. Gungan General

    We're mad about The Acolyte getting cancelled.  Also, what does it mean to be an empath? Is Obi-Wan Kenobi compassionate? And where are Kenny and Aspen in our love of these fandoms? All these answers and more! __________________________________ Get early, extended episodes on our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/trekwarspod Watch us! https://www.youtube.com/@trekwarspod Theme by Tosin Awofeso Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/trekwarspod https://bsky.app/profile/trekwarspod.bsky.social Want to ask us questions?

  8. Wink of an Eye vs. Dooku Captured

    AUG 23

    Wink of an Eye vs. Dooku Captured

    This week, the Scalosians fight to survive by **checks notes**  freezing the Enterprise. Also, Anakin and Obi-Wan lift a bunch of rocks! Kenny brings up Ahsoka's role as caretaker in this week's episode of Clone Wars. And Aspen just really vibes with Wink of an Eye. __________________________________ Get early, extended episodes on our Patreon at https://www.patreon.com/trekwarspod Watch us! https://www.youtube.com/@trekwarspod Theme by Tosin Awofeso Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/trekwarspod https://bsky.app/profile/trekwarspod.bsky.social Want to ask us questions?
