This week, Bushy and Metal Mike once again fly their nerd banners! And we brought fellow nerd and podcaster Marc Alden Taylor along for the ride. The topic around the table this time? Star Trek versus Star Wars. Two incredibly important franchises in the world of Science Fiction! We talk the best and worst of, which we tend to enjoy more, and even dabble into a little music talk. Laughs and disagreements abound, but an all around interesting and enjoyable conversation amongst lifelong fans of this genre!
Enjoy!

Saying "new", may be a stretch, but this week Bushy and Metal Mike sit down to discuss albums, bands, and even films, that we have either recently discovered, or recently RE-discovered.
A lot of cool info in this show and we hope you enjoy it.
Bushy could not remember the name of an up and coming traditional thrash band, but found it after this recording. So please, go and check out Mourning High!
