Moose and Gamegod kick off with Star Trek Day and use the milestone to talk about why Star Trek still matters after 60 years.

Key topics In this episode, Moose and Gamegod celebrate 60 years of Star Trek, noting the franchise’s size with 11 television series, 14 movies, and more than 900 episodes.

Moose shows off his 3D-printed Star Trek hand salute accessory and tricorder, turning the opening into a full-on show and tell moment.

We discuss Apple’s upcoming event and the rumored foldable iPhone, along with expected updates to the iPhone line, Apple Watch, and AirPods. Moose and Gamegod debate whether a foldable phone is actually useful, or just a very expensive novelty. The conversation shifts to GoPro’s newest gear, including high-end video features like 8K capture, 50 megapixel photos, and extremely high slow-motion frame rates. They talk about Halloween decorations, including animated displays and Star Wars-themed transformations like a Jawa-style setup. Dragon Con comes up as the ultimate fan convention, with both hosts agreeing it beats San Diego for pure fandom energy and cosplay culture. The episode also covers Spider-Man Noir getting canceled despite strong Emmy recognition and audience reception. Moose and Gamegod break down Lanterns, praising DC’s TV formula and comparing its weekly momentum to peak Walking Dead and early Game of Thrones. They discuss Marvel’s attempts to borrow that formula, including Strange Academy, Werewolf by Night, and Heroes for Hire.

Podcast for Sci Fi – Episode 526: Where is your physical media? This episode covers two big sci fi and pop culture topics – the future of physical media in gaming and the emotional tribute to Peter Cullen. Moose and Gamegod also spend time on Lanterns episode 2, including how the show is building out Green Lantern lore in a way that feels earned and surprisingly strong.We discuss why digital-only games still frustrate players, what ownership really means when you buy a game, and how GTA 6 and the PS6 rumor cycle are feeding the debate. We also celebrate Peter Cullen’s legacy, preview the Transformers 1986 theatrical re-release with the new ending short, and break down what Lanterns is doing well with Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Sinestro, and the wider mythos. Key topics In this episode: the physical media debate, especially around whether players actually own games they buy or just licenses to access them. Moose argues that physical copies still matter because they can be traded, sold, lent, and played without depending on a server or internet connection. Gamegod starts out skeptical, but eventually comes around after talking through outages, digital ownership, and how often games require online sign-ins. The hosts discuss the rumor that Sony may be backing away from a fully disc-free future for the PS6. GTA 6 comes up as the kind of high-budget game that could push the industry further toward digital-only distribution. They note that GTA 6 reportedly has a budget in the 1 to 2 billion dollar range, which makes it one of the most expensive games ever made. The conversation turns to how some modern games ship with little more than a download key on the disc, which Moose calls ridiculous. They honor Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, and reflect on how completely he embodied the character. The hosts preview the 1986 Transformers movie theatrical re-release and the added 12 minute animated short, Optimus Prime Awakening. They also discuss Lanterns episode 2, especially the reveal-heavy worldbuilding, the Manhunters, the Guardians, and how the show is layering in comic lore without losing momentum. Gamegod and Moose both praise the chemistry between Hal Jordan and John Stewart, especially how Hal’s sarcasm and John’s composure make the dynamic work.
