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!

"Between this and "Threshold" it's amazing how consistently wrong Star Trek has gotten evolution."

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.

Series 6, Episode 3 - "Corridors from your average Mexican restaurant!"

Welcome back aboard, officer. In this thrilling third episode in the current series of 'Hit or Miss: Star Trek', regular hosts Captain Mike and First Officer D.K. take the helm with no need for guests, as they dive headfirst into the quirky and infamous 'Deep Space Nine' episode, “Move Along Home.” But before we get caught up in the Wadi’s Gamma Quadrant games, there's a brief warm-up discussion, setting the stage for what's to come. Of course, it wouldn’t be Hit or Miss without our beloved segment! This week, we're tackling a legendary Star Trek MMORPG that’s still powering warp engines, a nostalgic look at a retro fictional spaceship, and an alien crew member that left a mark on Trek’s legacy. And if you’re in the mood for another "little" adventure involving the DS9 crew, we’ve got you covered. Will "Move Along Home" be a hopscotch down memory lane, or will it leave us stuck in a game we wish we could quit? Find out in this action-packed episode! CHULA! Move along and watch before we all start singing that catchy "Allamaraine" rhyme!
