144 - Supernova, Pt. I (PRO1x18) (with Sam Stovold and Sean Davis)

Ring in the new year…. 2023…. in July 2025 (why not, it’s Jaxilly!) in this very special episode where three drunk guys are awash in residual holiday cheer and bonding over how this little Star Trek kids show that no one believed in is somehow building up to one of the most heartwrenching and tense finales in Trek history. Over a bottle of smoky Scotch (among other things), Jack, Sam and Sean explain the surprising way Return of the Jedi changed all media forever, celebrate the triumphant return of Jellico, imagine a George Lucas / Ira Steven Behr creative partnership, fail to access the Jaxilly mailbag on mobile, discuss Bad Bond girls and how Sean likes Bond movies that suck, and just generally amuse the s**t out of each other. Here’s to another year of T’KUVMA.

143 - Mindwalk (PRO1x17) (with Kev Young)

Rottweiler Kev is back for a body-swap Bonanza! As they witness V.A. Janeway and Dal making a real mess of things in each other’s bodies, Kev and Jack reminisce on similar scenarios in Trek history, Jack shows off his hip-hop bona fides by declaring his love for numerous rap duos YOU’VE probably never heard of, Kev swaps bodies with someone who’d rather talk about ANYTHING other than James Bond, and they both are the first to hear what is surely going to be THE summer jam of 2025! …. All the way back in 2022.

142 - Ghost in the Machine (PRO1x16) (with Sam Stovold

Sam is back for Baby’s First Holodeck misadventure! As he and Jack enjoy some classic Trek holodeck tropes, they also find time to investigate intriguing British changes to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, display their knowledge of various iterations of Jonny Quest, reminisce about the Year of Luigi, discuss what makes a good plane movie, try to recall fictional Marvel countries, elucidate what good can be Salva(tion)ged from s**tty Terminator sequels, relive 90’s southern California talk radio, and in a very special Bond Talk session, Sam reports on his recent trip to London.

141 - Preludes (PRO1x15) (with Sean Davis)

After starting out with some straight-up blasphemy, things only get worse from there as Jack and guest Sean Davis dig their way to hell with some Polish jokes and p***s talk as they celebrate Pearl Harbor Day while talking about this CGI animated Star Trek show for children. Aren’t you glad we’re back? Don’t worry, we’re also getting esoteric with topics like the sovereignty of various Mediterranean islands, origins of nation names, alien lifespans, weird national borders, the origins of popular German stereotypes, what Prodigy does right with origin stories, and their final thoughts on ANDOR………… season one. Long live 2022.

140 - Masquerade (PRO1x14) (with Geoff Clarke)

Jaxilly, like the Romulans, is BACK! Apologies for the delay, the hard drive with all the recordings was basically held hostage by a lunatic repairman for FIVE months, but it’s now back in my hands and repaired thanks to my pops! Expect episodes on a regular basis, starting with THIS ONE, in which Jack and Geoff talk about Masquerade, the fourteenth episode of Star Trek: Prodigy! It’s where Dal finds out what he really is! And we find out what WE are, or at least what we were in November 2022. Guys who talk a LOT about things like the return of Jellico, some surprising cast members, Elon Musk, the Outrageous Okona, the 25 Year Mission, and how Quantum Solace is better than you think. And most importantly, the finale of ANDOR! …. …. …. season one.

137 - All The World's A Stage (PRO1x12) (with Kev Young)

Guess who’s back? Well, in addition to the spirits of the original Enterprise crew (the NC-1701’s, not the NX) (no, not Pike or April’s, Kirk’s crew) (Yes, the ones from the original SHOW) crew, living on through the will of these weird aliens, it’s Kev, to talk about an initially pretty wild episode of Prodigy with one of the strangest premises we’ve ever seen. Kev and Jack really dive into the nuts and bolts of how and more importantly, IF this episode can even make sense, and bring to life the guy from one episode of TOS who started it all. You’ll find it even more fun than constantly annoying everyone around you with a third-rate Shatner impression.

All right, so I'm a day late (and two years), but hey, enjoy!

132 - Crisis Point 2: Paradoxus (LDS3x08) (with Geoff Clarke, Sean Davis and Sam Stovold)

Dim the lights and put on some popcorn, it’s movie night at Jaxilly! And the loudmouths in the theater this time are none other than Jack, Geoff, and Sean (with a special unbilled guest star (OK, it’s Sam)) showing up to use Crisis Point 2 to reflect on movie tropes, endless quote the Simpsons, talk about the hottest pop culture (of late 2024), and remember that ANDOR makes this a double feature! JAXILLY WILL RETURN.

Heeeey, Discoverinos. Obviously, I'm a liiiiiitle bit behind schedule on releasing episodes (recording has stayed current, I have about ten thousand episodes in the bag, right up to the Disco series finale), but they WILL come out, no matter how long it takes. Had a lot going on personally recently, plus laziness, but the next episode will be released on July 15th, with new episodes to follow every two weeks for the foreseeable future. I will try my best to maintain this schedule for the foreseeable future. Stay tuned!
