#235 – ‘Red Directive’ & ‘Under the Twin Moons’ Discovery S5E01 & 02

On the way to solve a mystery a puzzle is revealed. Join your harried hosts as they squeeze two episodes into one when they discuss the Star Trek: Discovery fifth season double-header premiere. Highlights include playful ribbing of a few over-the-top action set pieces, a celebration of another excellent Discovery soundtrack, and one host's very special way to upgrade a tub of Cool Whip.

Spoiler warning! We dive right into a detail-rich discussion of this episode of Star Trek: Discovery, so if you haven’t had a chance to see it yet – beware!

Next week: We continue our weekly coverage of the fifth and final season of Star Trek: Discovery with our discussion of 'Jinaal'

Note that this and all episodes of the It’s Got Star Trek podcast contain explicit language and, frankly, an unnecessary amount of offensive content, so the show is intended only for adults and really really cool kids.
