Science Fiction: Steven didn't do his Star Trek homework, as always, Ben picks up the slack and talks about the season finale to Star Trek Strange New Worlds. This is a spoiler filled chat, so beware. Steven talks about Stranger Things season 4, and rounds out something that he thought worked really well. We also touch on The Boys but not enough, so tune in next week.
