Which is better: Star Trek vs. Star Wars?

That's the question hosts Aspen Webster and Kenny madison ask each week. To solve it, we pit an episode of Star Trek versus an Episode of Star Wars. We also talk sociology, philosophy, gender dynamics, and get very, very political each week. Will we ever answer the question?

Storm Over Ryloth vs. Requiem for Methuselah

Why does Star Trek's utopianism grate against Aspen?

This week, Kenny and Aspen talk at length about where the hell the ideals of Star Trek and the cynicism of Star Wars come from. Storm Over Ryloth slows down Star Wars to give us a beautiful character piece about failure.

Meanwhile, Requiem for Methuselah shouldn't work, but Kenny and Aspen try to figure out why.We also talk Grievous, Vader, and ableism and if art should live in a context-less vacuum. Finally, we get frustrated at Star Wars fanbois hating the Holdo Maneuver when Storm Over Ryloth has the same maneuver (albeit, much, much slower).

Truly a F-aspen-ating episode.
