BOIM US UP! This month's animated spotlight looks at the highs and lows of being a lower decker as well as the highs and lows of Star Trek stories told via animation. Joining Bryan to discuss are two animation veterans: Cassie has written for multiple animated series and hosts a podcast that spotlights women & nonbinary talent in animation called The Ink & Paint Folk Podcast. Their partner Matt is a CG artist who's worked on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man slated for release later this year. 

The grades for "Much Ado About Boimler" begin at (22:50). The grades for "Veritas" begin at (58:35).

LD: "Much Ado About Boimler" & "Veritas" (s1e7-8) with Cassie Soliday (The Ink & Paint Folk Podcast) & Matt (Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man)

There are 930 episodes of Star Trek. Some of them we love because they are a perfect combination of Star Trek ideas and human drama, some of them we like because they're just good examples of Star Trek, and the rest are ones we'll watch because why not? Star Trek is like pizza or sex: even when it's bad it's still good. 

Join Bryan and Kristen (and the occasional special guest) as they take the schoolyard game of F***, Marry, Kill and apply it to episodes from all 11 series asking specific questions like, "What part of the story will they teach at the Academy?" "What are the Best Trek Tropes in the episode?" "Worst Trek Tropes?" and many more in order to decide if an episode is one they'll TREK out again, MARRY because they'll cherish it for life, or KILL because it missed the mark.
