Which is better: Star Trek vs. Star Wars?
That's the question hosts Aspen Webster and Kenny madison ask each week. To solve it, we pit an episode of Star Trek versus an Episode of Star Wars. We also talk sociology, philosophy, gender dynamics, and get very, very political each week. Will we ever answer the question?

2 NOV 2024 · Why does Star Trek's utopianism grate against Aspen?
This week, Kenny and Aspen talk at length about where the hell the ideals of Star Trek and the cynicism of Star Wars come from. Storm Over Ryloth slows down Star Wars to give us a beautiful character piece about failure.Â
Meanwhile, Requiem for Methuselah shouldn't work, but Kenny and Aspen try to figure out why.We also talk Grievous, Vader, and ableism and if art should live in a context-less vacuum. Finally, we get frustrated at Star Wars fanbois hating the Holdo Maneuver when Storm Over Ryloth has the same maneuver (albeit, much, much slower).
Truly a F-aspen-ating episode.

11 OCT 2024 · This week's theme? Frustrating world-building.
Mystery of a Thousand Moons feels like a latter day George Lucas episode: a follow-up ep shoehorning in unrelated thematics that never gel. It also features a young boy.Â
Filoni and co. seemingly grit their teeth during the Filoni Zoni for the BTS, so you know we talk about it.
For Lights of Zetar, we talk about the gaslighting of our protagonist in the ep. Which is funny, because the episode is literally about empowerment.
And Kenny meets his new favorite character.

4 OCT 2024 · These certainly were two episodes! Aspen and Kenny DISAGREE. What do they disagree on?? Guess you'll have to listen and find out! (hint: Sexy Gungan ladies).
And who's this mysterious writer on Star Trek, Michael Richards?
Also everyone should play Baldur's Gate.

27 SEP 2024 · The Hidden Enemy changes the game for the Clones.
And The Mark of Gideon is an episode.
Aspen loves Detective Obi-Wan and Detective Anakin. Kenny loves bureaucracy. Aspen has a big crush on Asajj Ventress.
And we wonder why Mark of Gideon didn't lean into any of the many ideas it brought up.

21 SEP 2024 · Aspen and Kenny are joined by the illustrious https://www.youtube.com/@JessieGender1 - you might know her from her entire job being Star Trek (and a lot of Star Wars too!).Â
The trio discuss how this week's Star Trek is ironically on point about race by demonstrating the dangers of centrist, respectability politics. We also talk about how it’s nice to see the Jedi be more than space cops (AJAB).Â
Not only do we discuss our episodes of the day, the Patreon portion of the conversation was too good not to share on the regular feed. You lucky dogs.

16 SEP 2024 · Aspen hates Whom Gods Destroy. Kenny loves Defenders of Peace (and so does Aspen).Â
Is the Galactic Republic a strictly American analog? We also discuss the nature of conflict. Also, Uhura, Sulu, and Chekov are constantly undercut. Why is that?

6 SEP 2024 · What does it mean to sacrifice one life over 1000? And what does it mean to be a horny Helen of Troy analog?Â
Aspen talks about the nature of empathy. And Kenny talks about Lajos Egri. You know, Lajos Egri? Everyone knows!

31 AUG 2024 · We're mad about The Acolyte getting cancelled.Â
Also, what does it mean to be an empath? Is Obi-Wan Kenobi compassionate? And where are Kenny and Aspen in our love of these fandoms?
All these answers and more!

23 AUG 2024 · This week, the Scalosians fight to survive by **checks notes**  freezing the Enterprise. Also, Anakin and Obi-Wan lift a bunch of rocks!
Kenny brings up Ahsoka's role as caretaker in this week's episode of Clone Wars. And Aspen just really vibes with Wink of an Eye.

16 AUG 2024 · Dr. Tiffany L. Knoell, author of From Monk to Superhero: Genndy Tartakovsky’s Clone Wars and the Transformation of the Jedi, comes to talk to US! COME ON!
We talk about the definining relationships between Jedi as mediative monks versus badass power fantasy. We talk about Parmen's fascist dictatorship within the context of 2024. We talk about Plato's Stepchildren's famous KISS. And animation is a medium, not a genre.

Which is better: Star Trek vs. Star Wars?
That's the question hosts Aspen Webster and Kenny madison ask each week. To solve it, we pit an episode of Star Trek versus an Episode of Star Wars. We also talk sociology, philosophy, gender dynamics, and get very, very political each week. Will we ever answer the question?
