Series 6, Episode 6 - "This is awful! Pass me the popcorn."

Hit or Miss: Star Trek is back for more deep dives into controversial, divisive or downright unpopular Trek episodes. This time we're looking at the finale of Star Trek: Enterprise (and, for a time, Star Trek overall), "These Are the Voyages". Captain Mike & Commander D.K once again welcome aboard Nita, on special assignment from the Sci-Fi Queens. As well as the episode itself, which generates a pretty heated and potentially surprising debate, there's also discussion of favourite Trek finales. Then the Hit or Miss section takes in a couple of Voyagers, a TOS episode that was very of it's time and a character played by a legendary actor with a knack for playing murderous psychopaths. Plus the critics' thoughts, your opinions and an overall review. Don't debate the matter on the holodeck, click play now!

"If a TV show could punch you in the d*ck, this is what it would look like."

Episode 98 - "This job would be great if it wasn't for the f*cking customers."

Welcome back, faithful friends. On the latest Silver Screen Podcast episode, Mike and D.K. roll back to 1994 to celebrate 30 years of Kevin Smith’s cult classic, 'Clerks'. Feel old yet? Joined once more by returning guest Michael Whaley (for the second week in a row), the crew dives into the world of convenience store slacker wisdom and VHS nostalgia, reminiscing about what makes this lo-fi indie flick both a snapshot of a generation and a timeless piece of deadpan humor. They hash out the highs, the lows, and those quotable “I’m not even supposed to be here today!” moments, blending their own experiences with a sharp review. Will Clerks still ring true, or has it been left in the dust of Quick Stop’s cigarette-stained counter? Grab your Gatorade and find out!

NB: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE AND DISCUSSIONS OF A SEXUAL NATURE, REFLECTING THE FILM BEING REVIEWED. DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

Series 6, Episode 5: HALLOWEEN SPECIAL 2024 - "For however long Data and Picard are away the Enterprise is basically free real estate, so a Spirit Halloween moves in."

Get ready for some sci-fi spooks as 'Hit or Miss: Star Trek' gets freaky with our Halloween Special! This time, host Mike is joined by returning ghoulish guests Justin Avery Smith and Dag for a deep dive into the bone-chilling Star Trek: The Next Generation episode, “Genesis.” What happens when our beloved crew start turning into primal creatures? Trust us—this one’s got more jumps than a Klingon targ on a full moon night. Before the main feature, we explore the scary side of Star Trek. Is it the creepy corridors of a sinister starship or the eerie encounters with aliens that send shivers down your spine? And don’t miss the Hit or Miss section, where we’ll sink our teeth into a spooky starship that’s more haunted house than hero, a sinister character lurking in the shadows, and a gross species that made Voyager squirm like it was caught in an arachnid’s web. So grab your tricorder, lock the doors, and set phasers to ‘chill’—this episode will have you howling for more!

Cinema Classics Number 9/D.K's Cult Classics Episode 26 - "We all go a little mad sometimes."

In this pre-Halloween crossover episode of the Silver Screen Podcast, Silver Screen Cinema Classics joins Cult Classics' Month of Monsters to dissect the human monster at the heart of Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic 'Psycho' (1960). Hosts Mike and D.K. share their personal connections to the film, diving deep into Hitchcock’s technical genius, jaw-dropping behind-the-scenes trivia, and, of course, a breakdown of that unforgettable shower scene. From Norman Bates’ unnerving charm to the film’s innovative storytelling, they discuss every twist, turn, and stab. With cinephile knowledge, cult passion, and their own review and score, our fearless podcasters have got you covered better than Norman at his peephole. You'll never look at a shower the same way again!

Series 6, Episode 4 - "I used to refer to Mirror Kira as "Jazzercise Kira""

Welcome, Trek fans. In this latest episode of 'Hit or Miss: Star Trek', host Captain Mike is back, this time navigating the ethical minefield of Star Trek Voyager's infamous episode, "Tuvix". Joined by the ever-insightful Lady Vean and special guest Sandy Eavenson, the crew dives deep into the moral dilemma that’s kept fans debating for years. Is Tuvix a victim of circumstance, or did Janeway make the ultimate call for the greater good? Is your opinion a red flag, dog whistle, or just a passionate ethical stance? Expect a lot of thoughtful banter, surprising perspectives, and maybe a few jokes as they tackle one of the most controversial decisions in Voyager’s history. Before the heavy lifting begins, there’s some lighter Trek chat to ease you in, followed by a highly entertaining 'Hit or Miss' section. This week, the crew covers a tongue-in-cheek sequel to "Tuvix" that will have you laughing through the ethics, a sleek and futuristic starship that boldly goes where no ship has gone before, a newer face from the franchise making waves, and, to spice things up, a sexually-charged episode from 'Enterprise' that's bound to have raised a few eyebrows. Strap in for another wild, fun-filled episode where ethical dilemmas meet sci-fi absurdity! Grab your Janeway-style coffee and dive in.
