My guest for this episode of the Gettin Close podcast which was recorded live at the Philly Improv Theater, was the very funny Tim Butterly. I know Tim mostly through the shows he does at The Sideshow with Mike Rainey- The Not For Nothin’ Podcast. Easily one of the funniest things that can never be done often enough. It was a really fun conversation that covered growing up, being dorks, drugs, Godzilla and more. You can catch Tim at Helium all through this weekend with comics Tom Segura and Craig Robinson. If you don’t already, follow him on Twitter @TimButterly.

There’s also a live recording of Stark Raven Mad: A Game of Thrones Podcast tonight at 7pm at PHIT.

It’s time for one last trip through the Lower Decks!

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.
