    Show notes

    This week we dive into the underrated 1996 sci-fi thriller The Arrival, starring Charlie Sheen, and discover that it deserves far more love than its reputation suggests. Along the way we tackle another round of Guess the Intro, somehow manage to get sidetracked by Star Trek trivia, and chat about the latest episodes of Starfleet Academy, including why it's better than the internet wants you to believe. There's plenty of sci-fi nonsense, questionable Trek knowledge, whales, sex pests (it's contextual, we promise), and the usual amount of chaos that somehow resembles a podcast.

    Guess the Intro
