Guest Courtney Farrell and Sam discuss how tiny props carry huge sentimental value and being a sore loser.  We also experience another Christmas prop miracle!  This week’s props- a red scarf and a cardboard Santa Sleigh.

Courtney Farrell is a Philly performer on the fringe of trying to get back to comedy after having two adorable babies! Precision Agriculture Project Manager @ FMC by day, Beehive Playgroup community coordinator on nights and weekends, and Bravo Historian every other moment of the day. And Disney’s #1 hype gurl, not in a weird way though.  She and her husband Frank host the comedy show Book Club. An interactive comedy show around books she and Frank have been meaning to read. Shows are whenever they finish a book.

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.
