A Star Trek podcast about fashion, feminism, subtext and subspace. We have a normal amount of feelings about Admiral Cornwell.
New episode! We're discussing #StarTrekTheNextGeneration ep 6.22, "Suspicions" - an episode which is incredibly effective, provided it's your introduction to TNG. https://antimatterpod.com/201-very-sixth-season-tng-derogatory-tng-6-22/
201. Very Sixth Season TNG (Derogatory) (TNG 6.22) – Antimatter Pod

Not to brag, but this is our TWO HUNDREDTH EPISODE! We're using it to talk about Nana Visitor's excellent book on women in Star Trek - along with bodyshaming in fandom, hair politics and two separate rants about Janice Rand (our beloved). http://antimatterpod.com/200-performative-femininity/
200. Performative Femininity – Antimatter Pod

It's our 199th episode, and we're talking about Star Trek: Of Gods And Men, a fan film from the mid-2000s which dares to ask: what if Gene Roddenberry was a massive Ayn Rand stan? https://antimatterpod.com/199-arm-day-star-trek-of-gods-and-men/

It's new episode time! While recovering from ankle surgery, Liz dug deep into the archives at rec.arts.startrek.current to look at the earliest reactions to #StarTrekDeepSpace9. She expected to find some bad opinions she could make fun of, and got something much more interesting! http://antimatterpod.com/198-plus-a-change/
198. Plus A Change – Antimatter Pod

Anika and Liz sit down to discuss #StarTrekTheNextGeneration's "Yesterday's Enterprise" - an all-time fave which, Liz argues, sets the template for Discovery, some 27 years later. http://antimatterpod.com/197-gel-budget-tng-3-15/
197. Gel Budget (TNG 3.15) – Antimatter Pod

New episode time! We're joined the wonderful Jonathan Alexandratos to discuss Star Trek: Generations - and we're asking the big questions. Is the Nexus the real villain? Is Kirk's death worthy of him? Why DID Picard give his Nexus son a Kenner Aliens Space Marine Evac Fighter for Christmas? http://antimatterpod.com/163-stepford-beverly-star-trek-generations/

This week we're discussing #StarTrekSection31, a streaming movie which combines the vibes of turn-of-the-century shows like Alias, Farscape and Enterprise with the very worst of 2020s streaming culture. Our controversial hot take: we had fun and we have a lot to talk about! http://antimatterpod.com/195-a-handbag-nuke-sts31/
195. A Handbag Nuke (ST:S31) – Antimatter Pod

Section 31 is a whole hour shorter than Star Trek: The Motion Picture, but we still recorded nearly two hours of audio talking about it for Antimatter Pod. Like. Longer than the movie. We had a lot to say!
It's #StarTrekTheMotionPicture time, baby! Our new ep sees us talk for NINETY MINUTES (closer to two hours before the edit) about a movie that often feels forgotten ... but we like it? A lot? Listen and find out why! http://antimatterpod.com/194-kolinahr-statement-necklace-sttmp/
194. Kolinahr Statement Necklace (ST:TMP) – Antimatter Pod

It's finale time! We break down "The New Next Generation", the final episode of #StarTrekLowerDecks. Did we need those Klingons? Are Mariner and Ransom hooking up? Is Carol Freeman still the best captain in Starfleet? The answer to some of these questions is ... yes! http://antimatterpod.com/193-natures-unicorn-ld-5-10/
