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?

Downfall of a Droid vs. Spectre of the Gun
IS STAR WARS A WESTERN?
Aspen dives deep on Gunfight at the OK Corral. They try to explain the weird law structure in Tombstone, AZ when the shootout happened.
Kenny gets on his usual BS, talking aobut Spectre of the Gun as a satire of Western attitudes circa 1968.
Aspen and Kenny talk about collective action in Star Trek versus the lone gunslinger 'tude in this week's Clone Wars.
Eat Bad. Watch Star Wars.

Rookies vs. Is There In Truth No Beauty?
Pardon us. Aspen went on a nightswim, so they keep slapping the mic.
We got bottle eps this week, dangit! Cheaper production is better (sometimes)!
Dr. Miranda Jones and the Medusan ambassador join the Enterprise this week. And we marvel at how complex a character Dr. Jones is (and Diana Muldaur). Meanwhile, Aspen stans for the new inductees of the 501st. REX AND CODY!
Also, we answer listener questions.
Note: Chicken Shop Date Girl and Andrew Garfield

CROSSPOST: Intergalactic - Babylon 5: The Road Home
Thanks to Mike Moody-Garcia for letting Kenny guest on his pod!
We’re back with another ESSENTIAL BABYLON 5 episode. Kenny Madison from the Trek Wars podcast joins Mike to discuss how Babylon 5: The Road Home is very, very good for the franchise. Despite the movie not blowing them away, they feel it can only help inspire more people to watch Babylon 5 and, fingers crossed, pave the way for either an animated or live action series reboot. Enjoy the pod!

Destroy Malevolence vs. And the Children Shall Lead
Does Dave Filoni have a brother?
That's the topic of the week. Also, Star Trek and Star Wars are the topics, too.
Aspen talks about "the Filoni Zone." Kenny, naturally, talks about Dave Filoni pulling a George Lucas and synthesizing his favorite aesthetics into something new. Aspen talks about the Trek Triumverate playing Idiotball in this week's episode. And Kenny pulls some thematics out of his butt.
Also, criminal defense attorney Melvin Belli. When you listen to the episode, you'll get it.

Shadow of Malevolence vs. The Paradise Syndrome
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.

Rising Malevolence vs. The Enterprise Incident
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.
