This week we are taking a break from Star Trek Enterprise and instead going on an away mission to visit the 1986 movie Highlander. Jamie flat out refused to watch the movie, so instead, Bill and our special guest John Stephen King (who you may know as the voice of our computer) explain Highlander to a very confused Maria and Jamie.

2025-04-101h 46The FlopcastThe Tent CircuitIf you grew up in or around the bizarro state of Rhode Island, you might remember the Warwick Musical Theatre. For decades, this tent-style venue (with a rotating circular stage in the middle) hosted concerts, comedy, musicals, and even wrestling. (Guess how many times Liberace performed there. No, you're low. Guess again.) And back in the 80s, this is where some of us first saw Weird Al, the Monkees, and oh yeah, Air Supply. So let's take a look at the whole wild history of the Warwick tent, which alas, has been gone for about a quarter century. (These...

The Suliban have taken over the Enterprise, Captain Archer is stuck in the future, and Starfleet is considering canceling the entire deep space program. The only way to save it is for Archer to give a rousing speech over a Teams call about that time he saw a gazelle give birth in Africa, but will it be enough?

Things go from bad to worse as the Enterprise crew accidentally commits genocide before a time wizard shows up to solve all their problems and are they even grateful? Hahahahahahahaha… no.

The slime creature will slowly devour them all if they aren’t freed soon, but that’s not even the worst part; their minds are all now psychically linked and Archer’s brain is constantly thinking about nothing but water polo.
