Mass Debate: Star Wars vs Star Trek (Better Franchise?)

from Blank Propaganda Machine · host Kirk Wilson, Jed Craig, & Kraig Schaulin

In this week’s spaced out episode, Kraig referees the ultimate nerd showdown: Star Wars vs Star Trek!  Jed unsheathes his lightsaber, bragging about ILM’s special effects and insisting that “pew pew” beats philosophy any day. Meanwhile, Kirk boldly roasts Star Wars as a one-trick pony that’s been milked harder than a Bantha teat for 40 years, while beaming about Star Trek as the hopeful, utopian fantasy we should all be working toward. Kraig just tries to keep the phasers set to “stun” before someone actually whips out their tauntaun. It’s the ultimate sci-fi circle jerk: one side promises action and explosions, the other wants to take you on a slow, sensual five-year mission. Get ready to warp your hyper drive into hilarity on this episode of Mass Debate!
