The Gettin’ Close podcast returns! After months of inactivity I was finally able to get this going again and now with a new microphone. So we’re back and slight better than ever! This podcast features long time Philly sketch comedy group, Secret Pants. They’ve been around for a decade so there is a lot to cover and still there was some stuff that just didn’t make it in. For example, I didn’t get to discuss the rumored off-stage romance between two of them. I won’t say who. The podcast is a great insight to the formation of the team, how they’ve stuck together this long and how their work has evolved. It’s a also good for upcoming sketch groups to listen to as each of them has great advice to give. Sound is overall good, but there’s some shaking of the microphone. It’s been a while, but I’m glad to again be able to say… Listen as I get close with Secret Pants.

Star Trek: First Contact

The Prime Subjective: TNG S07E19 & S06E14

We’re back with some classic trek episodes! In this episode of The Prime Subjective, Chris Newcomer, Karie Coleman Hinners and Michael Henley are joined by Bev, Philadelphia’s (Drag) Queen of Comedy. In this episode they discuss two classic episodes of Next Generation: Genesis and Face of the Enemy. Their wide ranging discussion runs the gamut of wig sizes and ill fitting jumpsuits to wondering why the captain needs to go find an erstwhile photon torpedo.

Lower Decks S05E09 & 10

It’s time for one last trip through the Lower Decks! In this huge momentous episode of The Prime Subjective, Chris Newcomer, Karie Coleman-Hinners and Michael Henley go for one last ride on the Cerritos as we discuss Lower Decks Season 5 Episode 9 – “Fissure Quest”, and Lower Decks Season 5 Episode 10 (and series finale!) – “The New Next Generation.” We discuss Bashir/Garak, multiverses, unexpected guest stars, and ultimately close the book on Lower Decks and determine the exact flavor of its delightful, nutty legacy. Enjoy!

Star Trek: Section 31

It’s time for a Star Trek movie event! In this episode of The Prime Subjective, Chris Newcomer, Karie Coelman Hinners and Michael Henley take a break from the end of Lower Decks to discuss Section 31, the new Paramount Plus original Star Trek movie starring Michelle Yeoh. In this episode we discuss this would-be TV series turned into a movie…featuring Emperor Georgiou, Quasi, Zeph…and Rachel Garrett? It’s not quite a TV pilot, not quite a feature film, but it is definitely a fun discussion regarding this divisive latest entry in the Trek family.
