Description

Anika and Liz go back to the beginning of it all: "The Cage", the unaired Star Trek pilot starring Jeffrey Hunter, Majel Barrett, and Leonard Nimoy as a cheery guy named Spock.

We're joined by guest Ellie, who watched "The Cage" for the first time, and is here to say what everyone's thinking: the Talosians' heads look like butts. 

We also cover important issues, such as: 

• wigs
• shorts in space
• Number One, Michael Burnham and stoic female characters
• wild speculation about Discovery's approach to Chris Pike, Number One and Spock
• how does "The Cage" manage to get more sexist with every passing decade?
• they may have giant brains, but maybe the Talosians aren't actually that bright
• AND MORE

Further show notes can be found on Tumblr.
