Strange New Worlds Season 4 Episode 3 takes us on a 180 degree turn (albeit psychedelic) from Episode 2. Alpha crew is in desperate need of some R & R before a very tense peace negotiations so of course they head to a pleasure planet (but not Risa) where the atmosphere sends them on each of their own "journeys". What ensues reminds us of a combination between The Hangover, Dude Where's My Car?, and other various ridiculous comedies. The real question is does this episode work? Let us know!
Dude, where's my shuttlecraft? Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is back with a wild and wacky adventure on a pleasure planet!

Strange New Worlds Season 4 Episode 2 brings us probably the most graphic, gory horror episode of Star Trek in the franchise's history. From the very beginning the tone of the episode gives us a very unsettling vibe that makes the audience squirm in their seats. This episode also reminds us a great deal of another science fiction/horror movie that we have mentioned in the past. Can you guess which one? Did this episode make you feel uneasy and uncomfortable? Let us know!

On this week's episode of WeeklyTrek, TrekCore's news podcast, host Alex Perry is joined by Jamie McGregor to discuss all the latest Star Trek news. This week, Alex and his guest discuss the following stories from around the web: TrekCore: Here Are the Episode Titles for STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS Season 4! (08:44) TrekMovie: 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Showrunners Defend Continuity, Reveal Season 4 Episode Themes (19:22) TrekCore: STAR TREK Beams Down to SDCC 2026 with Panels, Activations, a STRANGE NEW WORLDS Screening, and More! (28:06) TrekCore: Factory Entertainment Unveils Four 2026 STAR TREK Convention Exclusives, Preorders Open Now (35:38) In addition, stick around to hear Jamie's opinion that the cancellation of Starfleet Academy had more to do with the economic situation of Paramount Skydance – in the middle of a merger with Warner Bros – than anything about the show itself, and Alex's sense that the 60th anniversary is not really living up to the hype. *** Do you have a wish or theory you'd like to share on the show?

With SNW 4 right on the horizon, it is time for a SNW 3 refresher ! Before Season 4 warps onto our screens, we're looking back at Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3 one last time. Which episodes earned a toot? Which ones get the boot? What deserves a permanent place in Trek lore, and what would we happily send into the memory hole?

This week, Steven is away, leaving Ben and Devon to hold down the fort. That means plenty of movie reviews, travel plans, museum science, unexpected tsunami discoveries, and, naturally, a healthy dose of Star Trek discussion. Real Life Devon is getting ready for a family vacation to Long Beach, Mississippi, where a whole group of friends will be joining in on the fun. Their last trip didn't exactly provide ideal beach weather, so everyone is hoping for sunnier skies this time around. Ben, however, refuses to acknowledge any alternative naming conventions—it will always be the Gulf of Mexico. The movie marathon continues this week. Ben checked out Young Washington and came away feeling... lukewarm. While it wasn't terrible, he felt it leaned far too heavily into its religious themes for his tastes. Devon's household has been busy catching up on family movies. Minions and Monsters earned mixed marks, mostly because the title promises far more monsters than it actually delivers. Devon joked that it should have been called "Minions Do Hollywood" instead. With kids currently obsessed with both Super Mario and the Minions, though, it was still a hit at home, and the Rabbids look like they'll be another favorite before long. Ben also saw Masters of the Universe and had a much stronger recommendation. Fans who grew up with the franchise will apparently find plenty to appreciate, echoing comments from Red Letter Media that longtime viewers will get the most out of it. Devon rounded out the week with Toy Story 5. Surprisingly, he couldn't remember much about the third or fourth films, but still found himself enjoying the newest installment. As always, Pixar somehow manages to package deeply unsettling existential questions—like the horror of being a sentient toy—into a heartfelt family film. Future or Now Ben brought one of the stranger scientific discoveries of the week: museums may soon have a new employee... superworms. Researchers have found that the larvae commonly sold as pet food may actually outperform the flesh-eating beetles traditionally used to clean skeletons for museums and forensic research. Superworms efficiently strip away soft tissue without damaging delicate bones, while also being much easier to contain than dermestid beetles, which have a nasty habit of escaping and infesting museum collections. With the proper number of larvae, scientists can produce clean, display-ready skeletons while avoiding many of the downsides of chemical treatments or boiling. Read more here: Ars Technica – Museums could use ravenous superworms to clean skeletons Devon followed up with an incredible story about tsunamis and satellites. After a massive magnitude 8.8 earthquake off the Kamchatka Peninsula, a NASA satellite captured one of the most detailed observations ever made of a giant tsunami crossing the Pacific Ocean. The data revealed something scientists didn't expect. Large tsunamis have traditionally been considered "non-dispersive," meaning they should largely maintain their shape as they travel across the ocean. Instead, researchers observed dispersion, where different portions of the wave traveled at slightly different speeds, causing the tsunami to spread into a leading wave followed by several trailing waves. Even more impressively, these observations suggest the original earthquake rupture was larger than early models indicated. Learn more here: ScienceDaily – A NASA satellite caught a giant tsunami doing something no one expected Of course, no Ben and Devon episode would be complete without a Star Trek update. Strange New Worlds Season 4 is on the horizon, and Ben has been enjoying The Last Starship, calling it well worth the read for Trek fans looking for more spacefaring adventures. That conversation naturally led to Prelude to Axanar and Axanar: The Gathering, two impressive fan productions that continue to spark discussion among Star Trek enthusiasts. Watch them here: Prelude to Axanar Axanar: The Gathering Finally, Devon has also been watching Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed. While he's enjoying it overall, he admitted it hasn't quite lived up to his expectations. It's a tense, stressful watch that keeps him engaged, even if it hasn't completely won him over yet.

Anson Mount is returning as Batman in the animated Knightfall trilogy — and Strange New Worlds Season 4 just dropped its trailer. Plus: new Trek merch you'll actually want to own. Welcome back to Blerd Trek: Last Week in Star Trek for the week ending June 27, 2026. This week, the boundary between Starfleet and Gotham got a whole lot thinner. Anson Mount (Captain Pike) is reprising his role as the Dark Knight in Batman: Knightfall Part 1, an animated trilogy adapting one of the most iconic Batman stories ever told. We break down what Mount brings to Bruce Wayne — and the surprising history of Star Trek actors voicing Batman (looking at you, Bruce Greenwood). Then we dive into the Strange New Worlds Season 4 trailer and what it means that Paul Wesley's Kirk is front and center. Are we inching closer to the Original Series timeline — and could Year One actually happen? Plus: a merch roundup featuring the Loungefly Star Trek Tri-Quarter Glow Crossbody Bag, the ultra-limited Hallmark Shuttlecraft Einstein ornament from The Doomsday Machine (only 5,000 units), and Factory Entertainment's gold-pressed latinum bars, Kataan necklace from The Inner Light, and the laser cannon replica from The Cage.

Welcome to another exciting episode of Geeks Corner! This week, Mr. Daps and Caitie Bear return to the studio to chat about Disneyland After Dark events, look ahead to upcoming Disney animation and sci-fi trailers, and face off in a brutal round of Disney "This or That." Episode HighlightsHere is what you can look forward to in this week's episode:The History of "Welcome": The show kicks off with a fun park music fact: Phil Collins originally wrote the song "Welcome" for the 2003 animated feature Brother Bear, which was later famously utilized in Disneyland's Parade of Dreams starting in 2005. The hosts reminisce about the moose movie, share a clip of the song, and remember the incredible hype of waiting hours on Main Street for that parade back in 2005.CHOC Walk 2026: Mark your calendars for August 2nd! The team shares details on the annual CHOC Walk through the park to raise funds and awareness for the Children's Hospital of Orange County. Daps Magic has been supporting this cause for nearly twenty years, and the hosts explain how you can help out—even if you aren't a morning person—by registering as a "sleeping bear" to raise funds from home.Disneyland After Dark: Pride Night Review: Mr. Daps and Caitie Bear share their experiences from the first night of Pride Night, praising its positive, celebratory, and uplifting environment. Highlights include friendship bracelet trading, character sightings like Tinker Bell and her fairy friends performing "Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust," and a structured Royal Theater queue featuring Princess Aurora, Maleficent, and the Three Good Fairies.

This week we bounce from the eternal debate over pie superiority (and some truly questionable anti-pie opinions) into sci-fi revivals, strange travel stories, and the art of a good ending—before closing things out with a genuinely unsettling short story that may or may not leave you side-eyeing your bathroom forever. Real Life We kick things off with the most important topic we've ever covered: pie. Favorites, non-favorites, and a few takes that might genuinely damage friendships. No spoilers—but some of us have very strong opinions. Ben brings a little sci-fi hope (and caution) with talk of a possible return to the world of Firefly. Between comics and expanded universe material—like the recent developments covered over at SYFY Wire (https://www.syfy.com/syfy-wire/firefly-brand-new-verse-comic-boom-studios) there's clearly still life in the 'verse. But as always, the question is: should it come back, or is it better left alone? Meanwhile, the planned Buffy reboot/sequel has officially stalled out at Hulu, which… honestly might be for the best. [bad opinion AI] Devon takes us on a trip to Eureka Springs, a town built on the idea that its waters had healing properties. It's got that old-world charm mixed with just enough weird to make it interesting—complete with a glass-and-wood beam church, ziplining adventures, and a full-on St. Patrick's Day parade. A little history, a little adrenaline, a little chaos. Steven celebrates Pie Day the right way, follows it up with an all-day beach trip, and then pivots straight into Pirate Borg prep. There's a game on the horizon, and the hype is real. Future or Now Ben takes the wheel with a surprisingly thoughtful discussion about endings—what makes them work, why they matter, and how often they completely fall apart. This leads into Babylon 5 (with a shoutout to Josh), and if you want a refresher or a reason to revisit it, check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z54XNJivHOs From there, it's all about what's next in Star Trek. Starfleet Academy Season 1 has people talking, and the future lineup is stacked: Strange New Worlds Season 4 is on the way this summer, with Season 5 already lining up some heavy hitters—including Thomas Jane stepping in as Dr. McCoy and Kai Murakami as Sulu. And then there's the truly baffling situation: Star Trek: Prodigy just won an Emmy… and is basically impossible to watch. If you want to feel equal parts excited and frustrated, here's the breakdown: https://trekmovie.com/2026/03/04/star-trek-prodigy-wins-emmy-for-animation/ Steven dives into some fun (and slightly chaotic) tech territory with green screen experimentation. Corridor Crew breaks it down here: https://youtu.be/3Ploi723hg4?si=Mu_9whhpY_gvJldY and if you want to mess with it yourself, the open-source tool Corridor Key is here: https://github.com/nikopueringer/CorridorKey Book Club Next week, we're checking out Arco!—you can find it on Apple TV right here: https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/arco/umc.cmc.16jgcgmdg48xptfayroel0yvy We'll report back on whether it's worth your time (and money). This week, we read What We Mean When We Talk About the Hole in the Bathroom by Angela Liu: https://www.uncannymagazine.com/article/what-we-mean-when-we-talk-about-the-hole-in-the-bathroom/ And look—this one sparked some debate. Ben tries to walk Steven through it… because it didn't quite click at first. But Devon cuts straight through the noise and nails it: this is a horror story. Not loud, not obvious—but deeply, quietly unsettling in a way that sticks with you longer than you'd like. One More Thing Ben's got boots on the ground this weekend at the Beacon Art Show Ekphrastic Poetry Reading, happening Saturday (3/21) at 2pm at the SLO United Methodist Church. If you're local, go check it out—support some art, hear some poetry, and maybe report back. If you've got strong pie opinions, thoughts on whether Firefly should come back, or theories about that bathroom story, we want to hear them. And if you haven't yet—subscribe, follow, and share the show with someone who enjoys a good mix of chaos, sci-fi, and questionable food takes.
This week in physical media with Erik Childress and Peter Sobczynski they look at one of the rarely talked about Coen Bros. films, John Ford basically doing Red Dust again and Herschell Gordon Lewis' film about a Chicago garage band. There's also the Karate Kid series continuation, a Sundance short that became a Sundance film plus a whole bunch of Christopher Lee and Asia Argento.1:52 - Criterion (The Man Who Wasn't There)13:15 - Warner Archive (Mogambo)20:58 - AGFA (Blast-Off Girls)29:40 - Sony (D.E.B.S.)37:07 - Severin (The Eurocrypt of Christopher Lee Collection 3 (1960-2024))45:06 - Vinegar Syndrome (The Phantom of the Opera (1998) (4K))52:36 - Cinematographe (New Rose Hotel)58:33 - IFC (The Last Mistress)1:02:15 – New Television on Blu-ray (Cobra Kai (The Complete Series), Strange New Worlds Season 3)1:08:09 - New Theatrical Titles On Blu-ray (Zootopia 2 (4K), The Running Man (2025) (4K), Hamnet (4K), Lurker, Merrily We Roll Along, Ella McCay)1:14:50 - New Blu-ray AnnouncementsCLICK ON THE FILMS TO RENT OR PURCHASE AND HELP OUT THE MOVIE MADNESS PODCAST OR BUY FROM MOVIEZYNGBe sure to check outErik's Weekly Box Office Column – At Rotten TomatoesCritics' Classics Series – At Elk Grove Cinema in Elk Grove Village, ILChicago Screening Schedule - All the films coming to theaters and streamingPhysical Media Schedule - Click & Buy upcoming titles for your library.(Direct purchases help the Movie Madness podcast with a few pennies.)Erik's Linktree - Where you can follow Erik and his work anywhere and everywhere.The Movie Madness Podcast has been recognized by Million Podcasts as one of the Top 100 Best Movie Review Podcasts as well as in the Top 60 Film Festival Podcasts and Top 100 Cinephile Podcasts.
