A Little Obsessed With Kirk

September 9, 2012 at 12:15pm • 1 hour 47 minutes • Wiki Entry

We take on one of our favorite movies, "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan," while also acknowledging the flaws that make it all the more lovable. Topics include: How Genesis is the galaxy's worst Kickstarter project; Why it's always important to count the planets, especially at Ceti Alpha; The size of the Botany Bay library and why it makes Khan so mad at Kirk; Why Scott's email is more secure than the Reliant; The real name of Khan's right-hand man; and how Spock's death solves Kirk's mid-life crisis. Also, we scientifically prove that "Wrath of Khan" is better than Star Wars.

Special guests Scott McNulty & Steve Lutz.
