Horrible Bosses

Does your favorite sci-fi show have an episode where the characters encounter antagonistic authority figures or corrupt slimy superiors? For Stella Cheeks, it's the Star Trek TOS episode "The Doomsday Machine" and for Erin Cline it's the X-Files episode "Zero Sum." Join Erin and Stella for an episode that has everything: BEES, Scotty in a tube of sparks, more BEES, Skinner in his undies, kids getting swarmed by BEES, floating super powerful planet devouring sex toys, Skinner in a tight shirt doing demolition work to find BEES, Moby Dick in Space, Skinner almost kissing several coworkers.... --- About the podcast: Erin Cline and Stella Cheeks have been friends for over a decade but have never seen each other's favorite TV show. Seeking to rectify that grievous error (seriously, they used to live together), X-Treks was born! Each week the duo choose one episode from Star Trek: The Original Series and one episode from The X-Files that fits a previously chosen cinematic theme, watch them together, and share their feelings! Alongside producer Bobby Hoffman, they discuss their first impressions, how the episodes fit into the larger fan lore, and fascinating behind-the-scenes facts. --- Follow The X-Treks Crew Twitter: @nydproductions #xtrekspod @Stella_Cheeks @Haberdasher9k Instagram: @NYDErnGenC
