Loyal Cinephile Hissy Fit listeners and followers know one of our hosts, Will Johnson, affectionately as the self-appointed Marvel shill. On multiple shows, Will has been a protective defender of his favorite comic inspirations. Could you believe that Mr. Johnson has a another cherished property he ferociously guards like it’s one of his own children? Co-host Don Shanahan (and, after this episode, so will you) found out that all things Star Trek is a second universe of fervent love and touchy subjects.

For our 16th episode, 25YL film critics and vacationing school teachers Will and Don grab their microphone phasers to take aim at 2009’s reboot of Star Trek from J.J. Abrams. One of of them set their phaser to stun with discontent of how the movie is a shell of what it was supposed to be. The other set their phaser to love calling it their favorite fun film of 2009. Find out who’s wearing what colored Star Trek shirt on this new podcast. As fate would have it, these guys recorded this one on Abrams’ birthday.

The bridge crew of the Enterprise prepare the embark from their stations.
