Ep. 156: "For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky" (TOS S3E8)

Mar 01 2025 52 mins  
On this week's episode, Ryan and Brady are covering the the longest episode title in Star Trek history! But is this mid-season 3 outing worthy of such a portentous name? Join us as we discuss Shakespearean deliveries, tube-based security systems, and if maybe the Star Trek Season 3 haters didn't know just how good they had it. We also talk about fan-maintained wikis and the Angelin

Ep. 155: "The Search, Part 2" (DS9 S3E2)

Feb 15 2025 39 mins  
Ryan and Brady talk about yet another very "lore important" episode of DS9 they've happened to draw, including some discussion on the genuine rapport of Kira and Odo, how to tell when you're in a Star Trek simulation, and, of course, Garak appreciation.

Ep. 154: "A Moral Star, Pt. 1" (PRO S1E9)

Feb 01 2025 41 mins  
Ryan and Brady dive into the first part of Prodigy's first mid-season finale, discussing the new uniform variant, what happened to make the Diviner so mean, "evil" holograms, and, as always, this show's similarity to Star Wars: Rebels.

OOC Special 13: "Section 31" (plus Prodigy S2 and Lower Decks S5), with Mark Rustad

Jan 25 2025 137 mins  
Ryan and Brady get together with MVP Out of Contreks listener Mark Rustad to discuss the new Section 31 TV movie, a film that is not very much a movie, nor is it very much about Section 31. There is one pretty cool sequence in it, though, which they talk about for a while, as well as the movie's long-gestating production history, dialogue problems, and how it ranks on the overall l

Ep. 153: "Obsession" (TOS S2E13)

Jan 19 2025 38 mins  
In this episode, Kirk has to fight some sentient gas! This might not sound like the most innately interesting thing for an episode of Star Trek to be about, but join Ryan and Brady as we discuss the ways the writing team -- and, especially, the main trio of TOS actors -- get as much juice as possible out of this concept.

Ep. 152: "Inheritance" (TNG S7E10)

Jan 04 2025 42 mins  
It's a good thing Data can't feel embarrassment, because, oh boy, otherwise his mom would be pretty embarrassing! Ryan and Brady discuss this late period TNG episode and its one big twist, how it's similar to a better DS9 entry about Odo, and how there's a normal episode of Star Trek going on in the background.

Ep. 151: "Vox Sola" (ENT S1E22)

Dec 21 2024 41 mins  
Fresh from the highs of our 150th episode, Ryan and Brady sit down to discuss Enterprise's version of Devil in the Dark, which heavily features a snot monster. Real talk? Why is this episode called "Vox Sola"? In Latin, that means "lone voice," which I guess sort of makes sense because it's absorbing all of them into its being, but there are still plenty of voices trying to keep th

Ep. 150: "Star Trek III: The Search For Spock"

Dec 07 2024 71 mins  
It's an anniversary episode for Out of Contreks, which means that this time, we're tackling The Search For Spock. Join Ryan and Brady as we discuss the first Trek movie that feels like a long TV episode, some incredible '70s fashion that just happened to appear in the '80s, and how, to woo Leonard Nimoy back to the franchise, the Trek helmers allowed him to direct a movie about how

Ep. 149: "Second Sight" (DS9 S2E9)

Nov 23 2024 33 mins  
In this DS9 episode, Sisko falls in love with a figment of someone else's imagination. In this podcast, Ryan and Brady talk about that for a while and then discuss the galaxy's most overconfident scientist and how exactly we're supposed to feel about the end of the episode.

Ep. 148: "The First Duty" (TNG S5E19)

Nov 09 2024 51 mins  
In this episode, Ryan and Brady take on the one with young Tom Paris... Wait, I mean Nick Locarno! We also talk Boothby, an understated performance by Gates McFadden, and more! This episode was put together in a hurry, as Ryan is in a Shakespeare production this weekend, so sorry if the audio is maybe a bit less edited than usual.
