It’s time to go to the movies! Yes, we’re covering Star Trek: The Motion Picture! We’re also watching The Changeling which is a very comparable episode to the movie. It’s an episode where a giant floating electric toothbrush threatens the ship, Earth and causes the first redshirt deaths we’ve seen on the podcast so far!

Talking points include: Alien, Flash Gordon, presenting the podcast in widescreen or pan & scan depending on your podcatcher, the Eccleston Doctor Who, The Invisibles, Everything Everywhere All At Once, GI Joe Origins: Snake Eyes Origins (which I stress was NOT a recommendation), maths (ugh), whether Nomad is Doctor Who cheap or Tomorrow People cheap, Professor X’s callous disregard for human life, the Clangers reboot, Guillermo Del Toro’s Raggydolls, a gritty Bill & Ben reboot, Pinky & Perky, Alien franchise novelisation writer Alan Dean Foster, Charlie was (and is) a big nerd, West Side Story, Blake’s 7, Yacht Captain Kirk, that time Chris Claremont came back to the X-Men, a casual appreciation of Star Wars, Interstellar, 2001: A Space Odyssey, comparisons to Green Lantern and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, . Oh, and occasionally Star Trek.
Miles also appeared on Two Boobs Watch the Tube for an epic episode about the Christopher Eccleston Doctor Who. If you want to hear him getting very un-casual about a thing he loves, it can be found there.
