The Jerks are back!

Writer/Artist Mark Farinas and I are back on our BS. We're in the middle of a new season of our podcast, SHIP FULL OF JERKS. Our current voyage is through the latest episodes of STAR TREK: STRANGE NEW WORLDS.

Our goal is to raise the level of critique of sci-fi and pop culture. Past episodes have dived into meaty subjects, such as the shrinking LGBTQ+ representation in both TREK and TV in general. We avoid the hater-aide found across fandoms reviewers and prefer a more thoughtful approach. Because we're discussing the things we love, even when an episode or film isn't our jam.

During our review of STAR TREK: PICARD's third season, showrunner Terry Matalas tweeted us, saying he was a fan.

From the App Formally Known as Twitter, Terry Matalas tweet: "I like your show quite a bit. I find myself answer you guys out loud often. Not healthy but you're both very thoughtful and never mean spirited even when I disagree. I'm a fan."

Here are a few our latest episodes:

Read them if you dare. But be warned once you open one of these screenplays, you may never sleep a wink again!
