SPECIAL PRESENTATION: STAR TREK: SECTION 31~! I know I'm sitting on a huge backlog of unreleased episodes, but we couldn't wait to drop our thoughts on Section 31! Although since this movie is destined to be a perennial favorite I'm sure it wouldn't matter when we drop this. It's a big boy packed with a squad as memorable and beloved as that in Section 31. Enjoy!
Carlos fucks up another holiday?
Jack and Kregg get drunk and talk about TALES OF THE JEDI, the HOT 2022 little Star Wars Clone Wars-like thing that everybody STILL cannot stop talking about in 2026! Does Dooku rule? Does Asohka drool? How drunk ARE these guys? Is Jack gonna say "A SITH LORD?" like Sam Jackson? What IS the Sebastian Equation? Give yourself to the drunk side!
Christmas excitement is in the air, and Carlos is in rare form as he excitedly waits for his special Yuletide guests, the Star Trek captains, to come and answer all his questions about Star Trek Scouts!
Sam and Sean fly ALL the way to Japan to sit in Jack (Stovold, not Crusher)'s living room to talk about what is mostly likely the final onscreen appearance of Jean-Luc Picard, the series finale of PICARD! Barm, Kregg and Kev opt to stay in their homes, but we celebrate BARM'S PERFECT ATTENDANCE RECORD! We also chat about what is probably(?) the series finale of Mando, Breath of the Wild on the eve of its sequel's release, and yes, the episode where all the old people you love singlehandedly defeat the Borg forever and it's so fucking awesome, yay. This episode will live on forever, or at least confusingly sometimes be dead, but also be back again, like Q. Chingy!
THE BAD GUYS ARE THE BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
Sam is back to continue his strange and wonderful habit of only watching every third Picard S3 episode, joined by Sean for his second dalliance with the season. Barm and Jack remain in the trenches, shell-shocked. But their spirits are buoyed by one of Levar Burton's most moving performances ever and by realizing Brent Spiner is, somehow, still an actor capable of doing some interesting performances even after being buried under a mountain of Soongs. They're also enjoying clarifying the story of Mario Sunshine, discussing the Japanese titles of Dominion expansions, imagining a sweet-ass Riker/Tuvok team-up, lamenting Discovery style "drama" and lighting issues, ranking Captain/Admiral's sons, discussing their personal favorite John Wick installments, and exploring their changing attitudes towards Mario 64 levels. It's just business as usual.
Sphere Lores and Moriarties and Geordis, OH MYYYY….. We finally get to all the factories, and find this is where Picard Season 3 finally descends into nonsense. It's still entertaining nonsense with some well written conversations and performances, but yeah. Ferengi expert Kregg joins Kev and Barm to talk about fan jerk-offs, more (new?) questions about Changelings, baffling Moriarty cameos, Soong Mega-Collection, Picard's DEAD BODY, which Golden Girl is which Mandalorian, and mourn the death of Barm's beloved betta fish. Listen to this episode so that we can feel seen.
The surprising return of Ro Laren lures Sean back to the podcast to finally dish on Picard Season 3. Ro SUPERFANS Barm and Kev also join the fun, as we discuss Picard actually feeling like Picard again, the silliness of Vulcan gangstas, what the new "jumping the shark" is, the possible return of the Crystalline Entity, Jonathan Frakes's first, best destiny, introduce our OnlyFans, and wonder what the heck is going on in the third episode of Mando Season 3. It's as fun as when Ro Laren and Riker did it!
As Picard Season 3 wears on, Richard joins in on the fun, Sam checks in again, and everyone kind of agrees that they're sort of enjoying it, kind of? We fill Sam in on Worf and Raffi (missing from this ep), try to remember the deal with Odo's bucket, find surprising parallels with the Yuuzhan Vong (look it up!), talk Star Trek books, delve deep into the mind of dipshit from Chicago Shaw, try to figure out why the hell Picard (the show) is the way it is, and talk more Mando season 3! Stay tuned for an important public service announcement about men's health.
Barm and Kregg (Sneed is in the previously on) return for more Picard, and everyone sort of agrees that this is maybe kinda sorta an improvement on the last two episodes. Especially, a scene between Bevs and Jean-Luc has our knickers in a twist. Barm also goes off on Boomers, Jack goes off on Zoomers who don't know what Boomers are, Kregg is amused, but we all agree that Shaw is Gen-X. We still can't figure out whether Beverly is in Starfleet or not, but we do know Jack Crusher is the oldest-looking early twenty-something we've ever seen. Packs a hell of a K-O punch, though. We're all entering a nebula of alcohol though, and wondering if the whole nightmare of Picard will end up being an elaborate prank orchestrated by Moriarty. Plus, we celebrate some shocking Trek news and the return of Mando, and pray for Barm's testicle. In other words, it's just a regular-ass Jaxilly.
Ferengi expert Kregg Castillo, who is enjoying this season of Picard more than most, is back to help us figure out SNEEEEEEED, the first (speaking) Ferengi we've seen in live-action since that silly old Enterprise episode back in the day. Does he pass muster? Does WORF pass muster? Can Picard EVER get its fill of literal heads rolling? But we're also talking about a much stranger configuration of G-Unit than the one you know, really homing in on whether Jack Crusher is supposed to be annoying or not, reiterating that birds are evil, wondering what Star Trek episode is coming out when you're hearing this, and just having some fun. Things are always better when there's a Ferengi around.
Picard is BACK, and of course that means the PD Crew is on the case. If Picard can get the ol' gang back together, why couldn't Jaxilly? But does the PD Crew LIKE what Picard is hawking? (Shriking?) Spoiler alert: Not really, but we're having as much fun chewing on this content here as Captain Shaw does chewing his dinner and also being annoyed by Picard and Riker and their harebrained schemes. It's early 2023, obviously, so Antman and the Wasp in Quantumania (remember that?) is on everyone's minds, but we're also comparing Jellico to Shaw, gushing over the Star Trek porn that is this season's end credits, trying to figure out if we saw a Changeling, fantasizing about Picard going insane (or doing some actual acting), revisiting the Citadel of Galens, and dropping THREE phat new jams. Season 3 of Picard may not be off to a great start, but this season of Jaxilly will have you ENGAGED.
Jaxilly's coverage of the Lower Decks season 3 finale is finally released, and you'll never guess the amazing stars Jack has gathered for this loving tribute to the Golden State. It's two of SoCal's most golden, SoCal Scarf boys Sam Stovold and Sean Davis! In addition to their thoughts on this exciting finale, you'll hear a characteristic AI rant, explore the murky origins of Continuity Carlos, go on a Qualor deep dive, and celebrate some California Love! And that isn't even mentioning a special surprise appearance by two of hip-hop and R&B's biggest stars, here to bridge the gap between east and west coasts! It's been a long road, but you'll be Crazy in Love for this one, Rick! It's ya boys!
WARNING: If this is your first time listening to this podcast, DO NOT start here, theoretical fan who's just itching to hear some takes on the 9th episode of Season 3 of Lower Decks in August 2024. For JAXILLY SUPERFANS ONLY (how's that for some gatekeeping; rather, trying desperately to keep the gates open). For fans of podcasts on life support that should have died, but have instead been cobbled together from FOUR different recordings recorded in THREE separate calendar years, have we got the five hour masterstroke for you here! Never has anyone struggled so hard to bring you so little. Seriously, if you can get past the random sound levels and temporal mechanics, there may be some fun to be had here. Thank you to Barm, for making this episode possible, in both the worst and best ways. JAXILLY IS FOR FREAKS
Dim the lights and put on some popcorn, it's movie night at Jaxilly! And the loudmouths in the theater this time are none other than Jack, Geoff, and Sean (with a special unbilled guest star (OK, it's Sam)) showing up to use Crisis Point 2 to reflect on movie tropes, endless quote the Simpsons, talk about the hottest pop culture (of late 2024), and remember that ANDOR makes this a double feature! JAXILLY WILL RETURN.
Chirp, chirp, CAW, muthafucka! Peanut Hamper is BACK (for the first time) in a Very Special Episode of Lower Decks, and this episode of Jaxilly is also very special because the wonderful Michelle Ugalde flies back to the nest and rejoins the flock to sing her songs about it, songs that Jack, Sean, Sam and Barm are all too happy to join in singing. Songs about birdmen, nipples, Final Fantasy, why ANDOR is the greatest goddamn thing ever and so much more. Roost here! CORNISH GAME HENS ARE BIRDS
The boys all head back to Deep Space 9 to reopen the wormhole, and they're just as excited as the Cerritos crew! Kregg, being a Ferengi expert / Dabo Boy, tells everyone AAAAAALLLLLL about Quark and his "Dabo Wheel". Plus, who can forget faithful Mariner, and her adventures in candle making? Plus, we talk about the HOTTEST new Star Wars show. That's right, ANDOR. Reopen 2022 with us.
HEEEEEY, Jaxilly is FINALLY putting out episodes AGAAAIIIN. This one was recorded nearly a year and a half ago, but it is WORTH THE WAIT. The Super Rios Brothers are at it again, talking about the Spider-Verse, David Lynch and cowboys, Saul Rubinek, the films of Jordan Peele, the raft of delightful Star Trek deep cuts in this episode, and occasionally the main plot about the two Rutherfords that serves as the primary story arc of the season. Come party like it's 2022!
It's another ApeCast Lower Dex outing, as Jack and Geoff talk about K'Ranch and other silly condiments, as well as the return of Martok (in bootleg Ferengi form!), the appeals of low-key comedy with heart, and list as many variations on "The Most Dangerous Game" as they can remember. It's the best podcast out there not hosted by a sentient volcano, a telepathic baby, and a super-intelligent computer.
