190. Bluey for Trekkies (LD 5.06)
from Antimatter Pod · host Anika and Liz
Anika and Liz mediate a war between sentient shapes, and try not to ask awkward questions like, "Why do you even HAVE genders?" Okay, no, we're discussing Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5, episode 6, "Of Gods and Angles"! Another round of the "accept what makes you different" moral, which is not bad, but more suited to Bluey than an allegedly sophisticated comedy for adults (Bluey is successful for the same reason that Star Trek is successful! Competence porn and aspirational levels of decency!) "They could do anything, but they have no imagination!" is a BOLD choice of dialogue in a season this weak Teen pregnancy? The Humourless Feminist Killjoy Hour is here to ask: is Star Trek entering its natalist era? Liz talks really authoritatively about Romeo and Juliet for someone who hasn't read or watched it since 1997
