Jack becomes a man by doing a podcast all by himself about every single episode of Star Trek: Discovery, Short Treks, and Picard! Join him as he listens to some sweet tunes, cracks bad jokes and reviews each episode. Stick around until the end for sweet and spicy features!
Prodigy is back (this was WAY before it was canceled), and so is the PD Crew! That·s right, the Prodigy Debut Crew (aka Super Rios Bros) is back, and they couldn·t be happier than to be talking about Barniss. Fucking. FREX and some of the other less important characters. But first, Jack is going to spend an absurdly long time guessing who·s in a Marvel movie that everyone has already seen, and the fellas are gonna touch on what makes TNG unique, talk Babylon 5, reminisce on why cops are scary, and quote Eminem a lot. And hope that Prodigy never, ever, ever, does a Borg episode.

Jaxilly’s coverage of the Lower Decks season 3 finale is finally released, and you’ll never guess the amazing stars Jack has gathered for this loving tribute to the Golden State. It’s two of SoCal’s most golden, SoCal Scarf boys Sam Stovold and Sean Davis! In addition to their thoughts on this exciting finale, you’ll hear a characteristic AI rant, explore the murky origins of Continuity Carlos, go on a Qualor deep dive, and celebrate some California Love! And that isn’t even mentioning a special surprise appearance by two of hip-hop and R&B’s biggest stars, here to bridge the gap between east and west coasts! It’s been a long road, but you’ll be Crazy in Love for this one, Rick! It’s ya boys!

WARNING: If this is your first time listening to this podcast, DO NOT start here, theoretical fan who’s just itching to hear some takes on the 9th episode of Season 3 of Lower Decks in August 2024. For JAXILLY SUPERFANS ONLY (how’s that for some gatekeeping; rather, trying desperately to keep the gates open). For fans of podcasts on life support that should have died, but have instead been cobbled together from FOUR different recordings recorded in THREE separate calendar years, have we got the five hour masterstroke for you here! Never has anyone struggled so hard to bring you so little. Seriously, if you can get past the random sound levels and temporal mechanics, there may be some fun to be had here. Thank you to Barm, for making this episode possible, in both the worst and best ways. JAXILLY IS FOR FREAKS

Dim the lights and put on some popcorn, it’s movie night at Jaxilly! And the loudmouths in the theater this time are none other than Jack, Geoff, and Sean (with a special unbilled guest star (OK, it’s Sam)) showing up to use Crisis Point 2 to reflect on movie tropes, endless quote the Simpsons, talk about the hottest pop culture (of late 2024), and remember that ANDOR makes this a double feature! JAXILLY WILL RETURN.
7/17/24 • 269:46
Chirp, chirp, CAW, muthafucka! Peanut Hamper is BACK (for the first time) in a Very Special Episode of Lower Decks, and this episode of Jaxilly is also very special because the wonderful Michelle Ugalde flies back to the nest and rejoins the flock to sing her songs about it, songs that Jack, Sean, Sam and Barm are all too happy to join in singing. Songs about birdmen, nipples, Final Fantasy, why ANDOR is the greatest goddamn thing ever and so much more. Roost here! CORNISH GAME HENS ARE BIRDS
4/25/24 • 239:41
The boys all head back to Deep Space 9 to reopen the wormhole, and they’re just as excited as the Cerritos crew! Kregg, being a Ferengi expert / Dabo Boy, tells everyone AAAAAALLLLLL about Quark and his “Dabo Wheel”. Plus, who can forget faithful Mariner, and her adventures in candle making? Plus, we talk about the HOTTEST new Star Wars show. That’s right, ANDOR. Reopen 2022 with us.
3/20/24 • 261:06
HEEEEEY, Jaxilly is FINALLY putting out episodes AGAAAIIIN. This one was recorded nearly a year and a half ago, but it is WORTH THE WAIT. The Super Rios Brothers are at it again, talking about the Spider-Verse, David Lynch and cowboys, Saul Rubinek, the films of Jordan Peele, the raft of delightful Star Trek deep cuts in this episode, and occasionally the main plot about the two Rutherfords that serves as the primary story arc of the season. Come party like it's 2022!

Carlos fucks up another holiday?
2/15/24 • 39:48
It’s COVIIIIIID TIME! Jack’s got COVID, and you know what that means. FUN. Especially when Barm, Sam Stovold, and SEEEEEEAAAAAN Davis are talking about Room for Growth, just in time for the finale of the next season of the same show! Listen and enjoy these chucklefucks talking about engineers, Delta Shift, their history with churros, Jellico AGAIN, Simpsons moments that just don’t sit right, and some Strange New Worlds casting talk that will SHOCK you, if you are in fall 2022. Stay tuned for some Final Fantasy memories. If you don’t listen to this, you’ll be like grampa left at the gas station….
11/1/23 • 232:41
Barm and Future Jack swoop in to rescue a crippled episode. And in the process, make it a hundred times better than it ever could have been before. So listen to them talk over Past Jack, Sam and Sean rating all their past teachers, talk about raising pigs, and maybe even occasionally mention this year old Lower Decks episode. iIt’s sure to put you in the mood for some chingas!
9/22/23 • 207:55
It’s another ApeCast Lower Dex outing, as Jack and Geoff talk about K’Ranch and other silly condiments, as well as the return of Martok (in bootleg Ferengi form!), the appeals of low-key comedy with heart, and list as many variations on “The Most Dangerous Game” as they can remember. It’s the best podcast out there not hosted by a sentient volcano, a telepathic baby, and a super-intelligent computer.
8/14/23 • 227:58
The Cerritos crew may be Grounded, but Jaxilly positively SOARS whenever the PD Crew gets back together! That’s right, friends, you finally have in your ear buds something almost as legendary as Zephram Cochrane’s first warp flight: Jaxilly eps about Lower Decks SEASON THREE, miraculously even before season four has started. Thrill to the gang waxing nostalgic over First Contact, confusing Phil Lamarr and Phil Morris, relitigating proper grape growing techniques, making Kev write new songs, and so much more. Make 125th Contact… with FUN!
7/10/23 • 190:35
Break out the Cheeza, because it’s time for the annual (?) Discovery album breakdown! This time, Jack and Kev are boogeying down to some smoooooth-ass jazz, making this possibly the chillest Jaxilly episode ever. Fortunately for Larry Carlton, the biggest guitar legend you’ve probably never heard of, he had the foresight to name his 1987 album Discovery, thereby guaranteeing that he would FINALLY get the recognition he deserves, when Jaxilly would expose him to a wider audience in 2023. In between these soothing guitar licks and a SHOCKING guest musician appearance, Kev and Jack figure out how to talk about instrumental music, discuss musical snobbishness, and regale the listeners with a series of fascinating Larry Carlton facts. Get ready for some SERIOUS SMOOTH SILLY SHIT.

Jaxilly, and its intrepid PD Crew (and Sean) engage the Quantum Drive to travel to New Horizons, in this, the first Orville Bonus – Orville Redentalkin’: The Orvillesode (An episode about The Orville). This episode of the podcast is the guys talkin’ the last four(ville) episodes of The Orvile: Season 3, the ones that went on AFTER Strange New Worlds stopped. Along the way, they’ll talk Star Wars, Trek, obviously, DOMINO HARVEY, and a surprising amount about Ms. Marvel. I think it’s safe to say these guys like the Orville. ORVILLE ORVILLE ORVILLE MY NAME IS DOMINO HARVEY I AM A BOUNTY HUNTER
4/26/23 • 257:11
Happy Birthday, Ben(cker). The annual Curb episode is finally here, in a way that makes it not actually annual, but it still has Lauren! This time around, they’re talking about a prettay prettay good season four episode, Ben’s Birthday Party (which also means being sad about no Leon). With the surprising return of Michael the blind pianist, they take the opportunity to delve into the life of Helen Keller, revisit peak Stiller-mania, talk tits and scrotes, the appeal of Lwaxana Troi, that weird trilogy of animated Netflix Godzilla movies and so much more. When someone tells you no gifts, just bring ‘em THIS podcast.
4/3/23 • 177:53
It’s finally here, performing for you. It’s Jack, Barm, Sean, Kev Young, and the Enterprise and Farragut Crew! Is this just a cheap attempt at piggybacking off the greatness of a TOS episode? Or is it an using that episode to show us, through a gripping tale of heroism, destiny, and quirks of fate, what kind of a captain and man Pike is? Only Chingy can tell. But we can tell you all the latest details to emerge in the Shinzo Abe assassination, that Romulans are demons, and what Sam’s Thoughts are, as well as one of Barm’s most hardcore plugs, and a lot of other stuff. You’ll be as blown away as a Federation outpost on the border of the neutral zone!
3/15/23 • 228:38
Hemmer goes to war! The PD Crew (PD Crew is Barm + Reopening the Wormhole) gathers here to mourn the loss of Hemmer, and more importantly, DUKE. They’re also celebrating GORNS, GORNS, GORNS! And puzzling over continuity, but also, finding that they don’t really care when it’s this good. Also, Buckley rules. Jack learns how to properly quote a hip-hop classic, and they all get out their final thoughts on Obi-Wan Kenobi as a whole. Heck, there’s even some timely Ms. Marvel, Stranger Things and Lego Star Wars chat. GORNS and HEMMER, this is a great episode!
2/27/23 • 212:30
Golden Ferengiman Kregg Castillo returns to join Barm, Sean Davis and Jack to rejoice at the prospect of the first M’Benga-sode and the return of a holodeck-adjacent flight of fancy, a classic Trek staple. And Hemmer central! Not to say there aren’t problems, however. Your boys have some ideas to improve the episode, like having Martin Short playing M’Benga’s daughter. They also advocate for the return of the castrati, discuss the canonicity of Benny Russell, compare to real children’s books, and delve deep into the Obi-Wan finale, and cap it off with some Moreville. Obi-M’benga-nobi lives.

Golden Boy Ferengi and Space Merchant expert Kregg Castillo takes his first adventure to a strange new world, accompanied by Barm and Jack. They compare said world to Mustafar and Alexandria (not the real city, the one from Final Fantasy IX, ya dum-dums), imagine what it would be like if Discovery characters were capable of making fun of each other, dish on child actors and talk about all the great TV that’s on now! * (”Now” meaning June 2022). It’s as fun as boning your old flame behind you find out her terrible secrets!
2/6/23 • 154:59
Celebrate Carlos coming back from his brush with death, and the new year, with an all new episode recorded eight months ago! And guess what, it’s Jack’s ApeCast co-host Geoff Clarke, talking about Strange New Worlds for the first time. Guess what, like all good-hearted people they love a good body swap, and ship games, and this episode delivers on both counts. You know what else they love? DARTH. FUCKING. VADER. That’s right, they’re talking about the hottest Star Wars show of 2022. Obi-Wan Kenobi. This episode is as on fire as ol’ Ben!

Barm is back, and he and Jack go head to head, just like the Enterprise and the Gorn. Whoever wins you lose. Not true, every crew member of the Enterprise wins in their estimation, and they’re also talking about the unexpected return of some classic Star Trek feels, some surprising character connections, flora and Hemmer and Uhura, the first look at Gorn ships, when and where they don’t care about canon, and so much more. Mostly, they’re relishing the opportunity to say “Gorn” so much. PS. They sense something… a presence they’ve not felt since….

Ghosts of Illyria is the third episode of the first season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. In this episode of the podcast Jack’s Silly Little Friendly Neighborhood Star Trek Discovery, Short Treks, Picard, Lower Decks, Prodigy and Strange New Worlds Podcast, the host, Jack Stovold, talks about this episode with his brother Sam and their friend Sean Davis. They also talk about Dr. Strange a good deal, and a penis museum in Japan. It is a good episode of the show and of this podcast, please listen to it.
11/26/22 • 217:54
Somethin’s cookin’ at the first annual Jaxilly BBQ! (Formal dress required)! Hmm, smells like fun! Like the COVID that has infected guest Sam Stovold, SNW’s good writing and structure prove infectious to Richard Dunham and Sean Davis as well. Host Jack isn’t immune to good times either, and no damn comet or shepherd or Prime Directive is gonna stop them from having a GOOD TIME. This episode is SICK.
11/15/22 • 207:24
Hey, Jack’s FINALLY exploring them Strange New Worlds, and who better to join him than Kev Young (Reopening the Wormhole/The Great Bracket Racket) and BARM? Join them as they rejoice in Pike, marvel at how well-realized this crew is in only one episode, ponder what’s to come, talk about Vulcan genitalia, try to move on with their lives after new revelations about the timeline of Earth wars, and explore Vulcan genitalia! It’s everything you and we want! I’m gonna stop typing now.
11/11/22 • 156:29
Did you know there’s a NEW Star Trek show? That’s right, it came out the SAME DAY as the Picard S2 Finale, which DEFINITELY just happened. Anyways, Jack and Michelle kept drinking for a loooong time after recording the Picard finale ep, until the point they thought it would be a good idea to record a commentary track for the first-ever viewing of the show. Was it a good idea? Fire up your copy (?) of the premiere episode of Strange New Worlds, …. Strange New Worlds, follow along, and you be the judge! Stick around until after the credits for some red-hot ANDOR talk!
10/18/22 • 79:45
Finally, it’s here for you. It’s the last member of Picard Season Two. This pod’s so long, it isn’t funny, can make a Soong cry out for his Kahnny. Can pick up a Crusher with relative ease, make killin’ Qs seem such a breeze. This season may be nonsense, it can’t rank high, but this episode makes one hell of a try!
10/3/22 • 262:53
This week on Jaxilly, it’s just Jack, Kev, and the final sobering realization that it’s just too late at this point for Season 2 of Picard to stick the landing. That won’t stop them from jiggering up some wacky out-there hail-Mary scenarios for the finale, wondering who finds loooong visually incomprehensible shootouts between faceless mercs in almost complete darkness entertaining, enjoying Elnor with major qualifications, pondering how Lawrence Tierney kept finding work, revisiting the freshmaking world of Mentos, and revealing what the Borg and Boba Fett have in common. We made a universe of Kevs (and Jax)!
8/29/22 • 146:06
For the first time in Season 2, Space Merchant expert Kregg Castillo and Richard Dunham (Ghibli Minute, Akira Minute) join Jack and Kev Young (Reopening the Wormhole) to talk about Mercy! They dig in and feast upon Picard and Guinan’s encounter with Agent Faux Mulder, ponder the bizarre implications of Adam Soong’s history, bitch about more magical camera bullshit, and try to get to the bottom of just what Q can and can’t do. It’s more delicious and nutritious than a parking lot’s worth of car batteries!
