Episode 386: Ménage à Troi   Friend of the show Tanya Zerr makes her yearly appearance to join David this week to discuss the TNG season three episode Ménage à Troi. It's been a while since we've discussed Star Trek: The Next Generation on the show and I do believe this isn't an episode we ever really discussed before. This episode unfortunately does not depict a Ménage à Trois much to our great sadness. But this episode is one of the first to establish much of the Ferengi Lore we come to know for The Next Generation and for Deep Space Nine. This being a Lwaxana Troi episode it is always a pleasure to see her on screen.

Episode 383: Dumpster Dive Tank Girl    Guess what time it is? It's Dumpster Dive time. We are jumping from the  80's and Legend to the 90's to talk Tank Girl. This is a comic book movie we are surprised hasn't been remade with all the comic movies that have come out in the last 25 years. But join us for a fever dream that is Tank Girl. It has some interesting parallels or inspiration from DUNE. Tank Girl also has two direct ties to David's favorite thing Star Trek. Have you seen Tank Girl? What did you think let us know your take on Tank Girl? Do you agree with our take? Please comment below!

Episode 382: First Impressions: 3 Shows, 3 Very Different Vibes    As part of our new line up on how we present the show this week is our new show first impressions where we take three shows, watch the first few episodes then discuss how we feel about them so far and if we think we'll continue on with them or not. For our very first, First Impressions we watched Shogun, Silo, and Dead Boy Detectives. Where do you think we fall with these three shows? Have you seen any of these shows and more importantly do you like any of these shows? Let us know your thoughts in the comments if you agree or disagree with our thoughts!

Episode 381: Showdown War of the Worlds 1953 VS 2025   This week it's a movie showdown! We put the 1953 War of the Worlds VS the 2025 War of the Worlds. Which will win the classic film or the modern direct to streaming Ice Cube led film? After Legend and Mission Impossible we decided to spare you from another Tom Cruise film so we skipped the Tom Cruise War of the Worlds. Maybe the real War of the Worlds was the radio production all along?

Episode 380: Dumpster Dive Legend 1985   We have a new intro and now we are working on a newish format. We are bringing back the dumpster dive as well as a few other types of shows to add some organization to the chaos that is Synthaholics. This week's dumpster dive we are tackling the 1985 "film" Legend starring Mission Impossible's Tom Cruise and directed by Ridley Scott. Legend was Ridley Scott's wanting to make his own original fairy tale. Does it succeed? Did it fail? Tune in to find out.

Episode 378: Mission Impossible   Let's take a journey back to the days of yore when movies were shot on film and when Hollywood was doing one of its earlier runs of let's remake old tv shows into movies. The year is 1996 the movie Mission: Impossible. This movie would go on to spawn 7 sequels and the crazy thing is, most of the films have been solidly entertaining. We will probably end up doing Mission Impossible films when we have some gaps between newer shows or movies we would like to podcast on.

Episode 377: Star Trek First Contact   We are back after an unexpected impromptu summer break. It's been a while since we've touched on Star Trek and since 90% of Brian's Star Trek knowledge comes from lower decks I thought it would be good to have him watch Star Trek First Contact since the film was heavily referenced in one of the episodes of Lower Decks. This strategy seems to have worked so other future Star Trek discussions will likely have a tie into lower decks. I think Brian's perspective on Star Trek from a Lower Decks first approach is an interesting one. First day back and David had some Mic issues, sorry about that.

Episode 376: Wheel of Time season 3 part 2   With the third season of the Wheel of Time rolling to a close we are able to bring you the second half of our review for the latest season of The Wheel of Time. Season three is a massive improvement upon season one and season two and if seasons one and two were as strong as this season I think we would have known by now if season 4 is green lit. As of this moment the show's fate is in Amazon's hands. With how much the show improved this season we are very much hoping for a fourth season.

Episode 375: Invincible Season 3   Invincible is already back for a third season. Are you as surprised as we are? Not that it's a bad thing that we have a new season, it just feels like it wasn't nearly as long a wait as it was for season 2. We haven't read the comic if you have, please let us know how the show holds up compared to the comic. Have there been big cuts? We really enjoyed season 3. It felt like a much more complete season than season 2.

Episode 374: Wheel of Time Season 3 Part 1   The show loosely based on David's favorite fantasy series The Wheel of Time is back for its third season. This week we will be covering the first half of season three, and this season does not disappoint. Season three feels almost like a brand new show the VFX game has leveled up and while not 100 percent book accurate the show is making strides to more closely adhere to the lore of the source material and that is a welcome change. The Wheel of Time has finally found its legs based on the first half of this season. Let's hope the second half is just as strong.

Who's ready for more Arcane? Synthaholics are back to discuss Arcane season 2 the final season of Arcane but probably not the last Riot/League of Legends show or movie.

Episode 372: Dune Prophecy   What happens when you take a blockbuster movie and make an HBO Max series set 1200 years before said movie? You get Dune Prophecy, a show seemingly for no one. If you saw the Denis Villeneuve movies and decides to check out the show you were probably lost much like Brian was this week. David having read some of the books was a bit less lost.

Episode 371: Star Trek Lower Decks Season 5   This week we get back to our Star Trek roots to discuss the final season of Lower Decks! Star Trek has been in a dark ages under the cruel yoke of Alex Kurtzman but Lower Decks has been the one bright jewel of the new trek shows that actually feels like Star Trek. It is a bitter sweet episode of Synthaholics as one of our favorite newer shows has come to an end.  If there is a show or movie you'd like us to discuss you can leave a comment or email us at [email protected] or leave a comment.   https://www.twitch.tv/synthaholics Subscribe to our YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/synthaholics If you would like to donate to us to help keep the show going please look at our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Synthaholics?ty=h Join the Facebook conversation!  https://www.facebook.com/groups/Synthaholics/ Email us [email protected] Follow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/SynthaholicDuo  Or Tumblr http://synthaholics.tumblr.com/ Subscribe to us on iTunes https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/synthaholics-star-trek-podcast/id981239466?mt=2 Subscribe to us on Google Play https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Immzfeujybtpjrz54khq3luqj3m Subscribe to us on iHeartRadio https://www.iheart.com/show/263-synthaholics-a-star/ Or subscribe to us on Stitcher Radio http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/david-duncan/synthaholics?refid=stpr

Episode 370: Starship Troopers   The holidays are over but our discussion on Paul Verhoeven is not! This week we got into his big budget sci-fi film Starship Troopers. It is pretty incredible the last few podcasts have been on movies directed by the same man and they are all vastly different and strange in their own way. Going into this David was surprised to find what film of these three is the most rewatchable. Too bad Brain didn't watch the most rewatchable of the three films. In David's head canon the three Paul Verhoeven films we've podcasted on are all part of the same universe. Brian seems skeptical. What do you all believe?

Episode 369: Showgirls   It's that time of year again, the winter holidays like Christmas! In honor of the holiday and the number 369 we decided to get you the gift that unwraps itself Showgirls! We have long time listener and former guest Tawnya joining David this week as Brian is nowhere to be found for some reason? This movie was way better than I remember it being though it was quite strange at times. It has been 300 episodes since we've done a horny episode. You've waited long enough!
