Our bold panel of STAR TREK franchise explorers — Chris and Rachael Clow, Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan — check-in with Ty as he continues to make his way through STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES, before we give our thoughts on the final season of STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS! This marks the second TREK cancellation of 2024, and we aim to say goodbye to the crew of the Cerritos with thanks and fondness.

In this special edition of DISCOVERY DEBRIEF, three members of our bold panel — Chris Clow, Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan — talk about Cicero and Ty's INCREDIBLE experience at September's TREK TO CHICAGO convention. Then, the panel breaks down Ty's very first watch of the entirety of STAR TREK: ENTERPRISE...stemming from a meeting with none other than Connor Trinneer!

Merry X-Mas, and goodwill to X-Men! Surprisingly holding down the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe for 2024 is “Deadpool & Wolverine,” in which Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman desecrate “Logan” while honoring it, skewer Marvel movies while saving them, and encounter an extremely unlikely collection of Marvel movie cast-offs and has-beens. Jason Snell with Cicero Holmes, Kelly Guimont, Lisa Schmeiser and Moisés Chiullán.

On this episode, DEBRIEF co-hosts CHRIS CLOW and CICERO HOLMES break down all the STAR TREK franchise news that came out of Comic-Con International in San Diego...and the distinct lack of franchise news that came out of the biggest, dedicated STAR TREK convention of the year in Las Vegas. Plus, a brief word about the future of DEBRIEF once the franchise returns in force!

Wagon Train to the stars, INDEED! Worf gets cajoled into playing cowboy with Alexander in the holodeck program he wrote with Barclay (who's mentioned but doesn't appear.) Troi gets in on the fun as the mysterious stranger, but then it all goes wonky when Datas start breaking the computer systems all over the ship. Crusher's play gets corrupted by Data's poem, Picard's flute music sucks, and cat food is in all the replicators. Cat food? This Western-themed holodeck-gone-wrong episode is also a slice-of-life one, too. Cicero Holmes, host of Discovery Debrief, rejoins to shoot the shit on this Monte Cristo as Brent Spiner eats so much scenery he's in danger of losing his foot.

The kids are on the prowl and this ain't no Space Camp situation! An accident puts a unique combination of characters into crisis mode as Ensign Ro, Keiko O'Brien, Captain Picard and Guinan all turn twelve to seven years old. Guinan and Ro learn to love jumping on beds while Keiko can't console Miles or her daughter. Picard's young self doesn't get the respect he deserves either, and the Ferengi take advantage of the Enterprise. But it's fine, we're going to get the Alexander's ipad to work and then, ultimately, color with some crayons. Good times.

It all comes down to this: DISCOVERY DEBRIEF says goodbye to the series that brought us together by debriefing "Life, Itself" — the series finale of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY. The panel — Chris and Rachael Clow, Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan — are joined by special guests KYLE SULLIVAN ("Trekspertise") and JAVI TRUJILLO ("The Flash: Up to Speed with Wally West") to dive into this swan song for the show, and whether or not it delivers a substantive conclusion for Captain Michael Burnham, Ambassador Saru and all of the characters we've gotten to know since 2017. A special thanks to everyone who's listened into our breakdowns of this eventful series, and regardless of our feelings on this finale we look forward to diving deeper into the future of the Final Frontier with you.

It’s been 40 years since the release of 1984’s “The Last Starfighter,” so we finally give this visually groundbreaking film its due. Did we find the early CGI effects as charming as the plot of a small town kid becoming a galactic hero in the distant reaches of space? Steven Schapansky with Joe Rosensteel, Cicero Holmes, David J. Loehr and Erika Ensign.

We've reached the penultimate episode of the series that kicked off the new era of STAR TREK...but does it feel like it? After a deviation into the world of gaming (and the Wii U?!), the DEBRIEF Bridge Crew — Chris Clow, Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan — alongside special guest KYLE SULLIVAN break down "Lagrange Point:" the ninth episode of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY season five. Wild opinions, service to the core characters and the impending reflection on the show's legacy are all up for debate in this episode. The end is nearly here.

You just can’t kill us, unless we’re wearing something on our necks that means you can. We’re back to cover 2018’s “Deadpool 2,” which bring you… more Deadpool. Not necessarily a bad thing, but should it have tried to elevate its game? Does its ending completely invalidate the story? And what’s the serious plot element at the center of the ridiculous meta superhero action? Jason Snell with Kelly Guimont, Cicero Holmes and Dan Moren.

It’s the return of Careers! The popular board game, this edition from 1955, involves contestants trying to be the first person on the moon, going out to sea, possibly becoming a farmer, and braving the dangers of uranium prospecting. No one said it would be easy. Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky with Monty Ashley, Shelly Brisbin and Cicero Holmes.

The DEBRIEF Bridge Crew — Chris and Rachael Clow, Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan — return to break down two episodes of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY season 5: "Erigah" and "Labyrinths!" The search is on for the Progenitor technology, as the crew of DISCOVERY contend with both couriers MOLL and L'AK as well as the re-emergent BREEN. Our panelists' investment in the story varies wildly, but there is some promise to be found in quieter character moments...but is it enough? Listen in as we barrel toward the final conclusion of the series that kicked off the new era of STAR TREK!

Hello, compeers! Let's reignite a debate about the Prime Directive and try to fix some faulty Denobulan tech in the sixth episode of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY's fifth season, "Whistlespeak!" Join the DEBRIEF Bridge Crew — Chris and Rachael Clow and Cicero Holmes — as we are joined by KYLE SULLIVAN to see how this character-focused detour progresses, as well as a brief discussion about the turmoil surrounding a potential acquisition of Paramount Pictures!

The DEBRIEF Bridge Crew — Chris Clow, Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan — are joined once more by special guest KYLE SULLIVAN ("Trekspertise") to break down STAR TREK: DISCOVERY season 5, episode 5: "Mirrors!"   Some interesting revelations, artifacts and twists to the characters all present themselves here.

Our starship is piloted for this episode by two members of the DEBRIEF bridge crew — Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan — and they somehow managed to wrangle GREG TITO (Re-Engage Podcast) into all of the hijinks. Pop in to hear Greg's take on DISCOVERY season 5 so far, and stick around to hear all of our thoughts on "Face the Strange" — the season's fourth episode! Does it buck the trend of too much action without enough heart? Tune in to find out. 

Crew connections, symbiont shenanigans and...cloaked giant insect battles? Two members of the DEBRIEF Bridge Crew — Chris Clow and Cicero Holmes — are joined by friend and pop culture archaeologist KYLE SULLIVAN ("Trekspertise") to break down STAR TREK: DISCOVERY season 5, episode 3: "Jinaal." As the plot thickens, the pace slows in this episode that only incrementally moved things forward. Reactions from our panelists to this episode are wide-ranging, including a direct comparison to STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER and a deeper look into the structure of the season so far. Listen in!

Let's talk about the beginning of a new DISCOVERY season...one last time. Welcome back to DISCOVERY DEBRIEF! In this episode, our bold panel of STAR TREK franchise explorers — Chris and Rachael Clow, Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan — are joined by special guest JAVI TRUJILLO to break down episodes one and two of DISCOVERY SEASON 5: "THE RED DIRECTIVE" and "UNDER THE TWIN MOONS!" After some time away we briefly update you on what's been happening with us before we dive into the new season of the series that brought us all together. It's...a roller coaster. Listen in to find out why!

It’s the first-ever Reboot a Bad Movie draft! In which our stalwart panelists grab an intellectual-property loser off the shelf, dust it off, and re-envision it in a new way that could maybe, possibly be a hit with modern audiences. Moisés Chiullán with Lisa Schmeiser, David J. Loehr, Cicero Holmes and Monty Ashley.

Jason’s favorite movie of 2023 was the gray flipside to “Barbie,” Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer.” And while none of us would exactly call ourselves Nolan fans, this one manages to grapple with a deep subject with great care. It’s got some spectacular scenes that will blow your mind—and a whole lot more scene of men in suits and hats standing around talking. Jason Snell with Shelly Brisbin, Kathy Campbell and Cicero Holmes.

Two nations, two sitcoms, one premise: What if one of us could see ghosts? Infusing genre complications into the world of TV situation comedies, “Ghosts” has become a hit in both the UK and the U.S.! We recommend both, compare the different versions, and try to explain why the whole idea works so well. Jason Snell with Annette Wierstra, Heather Berberet, Cicero Holmes and Erika Ensign.

You will believe a man can fly… a seaplane! We take on the curious 2006 film “Superman Returns,” which is a sequel (sort of) to “Superman” and “Superman II” but most definitely not other movies. There’s a new cast and a new boyfriend for Lois, but Lex Luthor’s still obsessed with real estate. Also, this may be the last movie to feature a fax being sent from a yacht as a key plot point. Jason Snell with Erika Ensign, Shelly Brisbin, Cicero Holmes, Moisés Chiullán and David J. Loehr.

Disaster Strikes! We remember Picard hates kids, but then loves them. We remember Dr. Crusher knows how to hold on to stuff when being sucked into vortexes. We remember Worf is excellent at midwifery. We remember Data is an android who knows how to keep his head screwed on straight. We also remember Chief O'Brien kicks ass and Ensign Ro is a badass/killer. But who knew Counselor Troi was a Commander? We sure didn't! This is a fun one that gives us more of that slice of life on the Enterprise. Get in touch with us on BlueSky @ReEngageTNG.bsky.social on Twitter @ReEngageTNG!    Host: Jimmie G (@thejimmieg on IG & Twitter)  Panel: Kate Jaeger (@jaegerlicious on Twitter and IG), Greg Tito (Gregtito.com, @GregTito on Bluesky, @gregtito on Twitter, @greg_tito on IG), and Erik Gratton (@erikfallsdown on Twitter & IG) Audio Editor: Jimmie G (@thejimmieg on IG & Twitter) Logo artwork: @mojojojo_97 on Twitter, mojo97.com Theme music: Ryan Marth   Next up is s5e6 "The Game" hosted by Greg and featuring the return of Cicero Holmes as guest!

In a long-awaited payment of an IOU, Debrief panelists Chris Clow, Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan break down the first season finale of STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS: "A Quality of Mercy!" But we're not leaving it there, as that episode owes a lot of its structure to an important episode of STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES: "Balance of Terror." Listen as the trio breaks down, compares and assesses both episodes in tandem! Does the SNW episode serve as an effective homage? Does the TOS episode hold up? What do we learn about the respective captains of each show in both episodes? How much do these works ultimately "rhyme?" Check out our discussion now!

Perhaps the best expression of the DC Animated Universe was its swan song: Justice League Unlimited, which improved upon its predecessor (Justice League Unadorned) with snappier pacing, a conspiracy story arc that anticipated today’s morally ambiguous super-teams, and a jumbo variety pack of DC characters. YES, we’re going to talk about Shining Knight, Bat Lash, and the Question. YES, we’re going to talk about the best-but-most-misplaced epilogue to the DCAU. YES, we’re going to talk about what happens when a super genius and a super genius gorilla tangle in the workplace. Chip Sudderth with Tony Sindelar, Cicero Holmes, Monty Ashley and Shannon Sudderth.

With season 2 of “Strange New Worlds” in the rear-view mirror, Jason recorded a season overview on the Mothership. But so many people watched and enjoyed the season that we have brought back the Vulcan Hello season wrap-up panel, too! Moisés Chiullán with Cicero Holmes, David J. Loehr, Heather Berberet and Houman Sadri.

In a wide-ranging discussion with special guest KYLE SULLIVAN, the DEBRIEF Bridge Crew — Chris and Rachael Clow and Cicero Holmes — break down "HEGEMONY," the second season finale for STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS! In addition to a surprising introduction of an old friend, the episode has given us a sense of open-endedness...that no one on our panel wanted! It's also colored by recent actions taken by Paramount that have our panel concerned, but also enthralled in this final stop for SNW in 2023. Listen now!

Our bold panel of STAR TREK franchise explorers — Chris and Rachael Clow, Ty Monaghan and Cicero Holmes — are overcome with song along with special guests KYLE SULLIVAN ("Trekspertise") and JAVI TRUJILLO ("The Flash: Up to Speed with Wally West") as they break down the first musical episode in STAR TREK franchise history, "Subspace Rhapsody" on STRANGE NEW WORLDS! Between the LOWER DECKS mash-up and this episode, SNW is taking some big swings this season. Does the musical swing pay off here? Is there room for musicals in the franchise? Which songs were the best, and who stole the show? Find answers to all these questions within!

The DEBRIEF panel — Chris and Rachael Clow, Cicero Holmes and Ty Monaghan — are once again joined by special guest KYLE SULLIVAN ("Trekspertise") to break down one of the darkest episodes of modern STAR TREK in STRANGE NEW WORLDS' "Under the Cloak of War." When a symbol of their trauma from the FEDERATION-KLINGON WAR of 2256-57 (see DISCOVERY season one) comes aboard the Enterprise, Dr. M'Benga and Nurse Chapel are forced to reckon with it and the truth of what happened during a battle on the moon of J'Gal. This leads to a character and morality study akin to episodes of STAR TREK: DEEP SPACE NINE during the Dominion War, and our panel has a lot to say on the topic. Check it out!

The DEBRIEF bridge crew — Chris and Rachael Clow and Cicero Holmes — are joined by special guests KYLE SULLIVAN ("Trekspertise") and JAVI TRUJILLO ("The Flash: Up to Speed With Wally West") to break down the sixth episode of STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS season two: "Lost in Translation!" In addition to being an "Uhura-sode," this episode also depicts an extremely consequential first meeting for the future of the Federation and Starfleet. To get there, however, the young Ensign Nyota Uhura will need to confront the demons of her past while also leaning on her skill in deciphering challenging communications.

What happens when the Enterprise gets...Cerritos'd? That question is answered in the seventh episode of STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS' second season, "Those Old Scientists!" In an unusual crossover episode, the two principal characters from the animated series STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS arrive in the 23rd century, and the responses of our panelists are mostly pretty positive. That doesn't mean that the discussion is without spirited debate, however. Listen in as the Debrief bridge crew — Chris and Rachael Clow and Cicero Holmes — are joined once more by KYLE SULLIVAN ("Trekspertise") and JAVI TRUJILLO ("The Flash: Up to Speed With Wally West") to break down this STRANGE NEW WORLDS/LOWER DECKS mash-up!

Cicero Holmes, frequent Incomparable panelist, Discovery Debrief co-host, and What The Fun, joins Scott to discuss “Vanishing Point” (ENT S2E10). Topics include video games, how awesome Hoshi is, and poor old Cyrus Ramsey. Watch Vanishing Point for yourself: Amazon Instant Video Paramount Plus Blurays Scott McNulty with Cicero Holmes.

We go 20 minutes into the future and 36 years into the past to discuss ABC’s cyberpunk drama “Max Headroom.” For a show with an 80s pop-culture icon as its title character, it’s actually a prescient satire about where our culture was (and still is?) headed. Even more than three decades later, its discussions of data security, the right to privacy in a technological age, artificial intelligence, and even deepfakes are still state of the art. (Non-American viewers who thought this was the show where Max Headroom introduced various music videos… uh, no.) Catch the wave and join us, won’t you? Host Jason Snell with panelists Cicero Holmes, Moisés Chiullán, Monty Ashley, Warren Frey, and Austin Rich.

They said that “Star Trek: Picard” wasn’t just going to be a “Star Trek: The Next Generation” reunion show, and that turned out to be true, at least about the first two seasons. We review the show’s just-completed third season, which brought us the emotional and nostalgic moments we craved, introduced an assortment of new characters we liked (or didn’t), and introduced some plot elements that we puzzled over. Jason Snell with Joe Rosensteel, Moisés Chiullán, Cicero Holmes and David J. Loehr.

Grab a backpack and get ready to siphon some gas—we’re setting out from the safe zone on a quest to find opinions about the first season of HBO’s video game adaptation, “The Last of Us.” Cicero Holmes with Annette Wierstra, Erika Ensign and Guy English.

Put on your home-built Iron Man suit and whisper into some beads, because it’s time to discuss “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” Our panel talks about how the movie leaves space to grieve Chadwick Boseman and T’Challa while also providing a platform for a bunch of black women to take the lead in a geopolitical battle involving the charismatic Namor, the U.S. government, and… the French? We drift into the shipping lanes for a moment, but it doesn’t generate any enthusiasm about the film’s big boat battle. Jason Snell with Cicero Holmes, Moisés Chiullán, Kelly Guimont and Lisa Schmeiser.
