Summary

The Geek Speak Show kicks off its 16th season! Henry & Shanclen are back, along with their new co-host, Emily Mata. After a new feature that'll help you keep track of cons & other events, Henry & Emily welcome Ethan H. Calk to the show. Ethan is the writer/editor of When Aliens Attack! It's an upcoming sci-fi comedy animated series and Ethan talks about how it was created, including why going with AI-generated animation. After the Book Club, Henry issues a challenge to Shanclen: In celebration of Star Trek 's 60th Anniversary later this year, will he finally start watching Star Trek episodes? If Shanclen agrees to that challenge, where should he start?
