Star Trek vs. Star Wars | Episode 037
Star Trek vs. Star Wars | Episode 037Update: 2016-09-11
Description
The Star Wars movies are back and Star Trek is celebrating 50 years! In commemoration, the panel has broken form for a discussion of these two Science Fiction franchises, including the theory that both occupy the same universe. Eschewing debates about “the biggest space ship” and “can the Enterprise take a hit from the Death Star” this episode concentrates on storytelling, themes and the reason both universes are so beloved.
Whether dealing with the nature of humanity, the realities of sexual relations, or the strange politics the criticisms remain unsparing. In short, the debate receives the same treatment as any topic.
