It’s been about a year since Hex Positive‘s Bree NicGarran showed up to review a piece of witchcraft media with Trae, and with how terrible the world is, why not take a break and listen to two witches reviewing the latest piece of the Marvel Cinematic Universe — Agatha All Along! Because we all need a distraction… and it’s an amazing show.

Jeri Taylor (June 30, 1938-October 24, 2024) was a screenwriter and producer for many TV shows, including Star Trek The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine and Voyager. In dedication to her memory, we’re talking about three of her scripted episodes. In ‘Night Terrors,’ the Enterprise crew are having trouble sleeping and people’s REM levels are dropping (insert your own Radiohead joke here, we did) and it’s making everyone go a little crazy. Meanwhile, Neelix gets into true crime for his early morning TV show in ‘Investigations’ and bites off more than he can chew while uncovering a traitor in the midst. Then back to the Enterprise for ‘The Drumhead’ which gave us one of the more infamous Picard facepalm memes, but is it enough to put it at Number One on the Big List? If not, you might find yourself on trial for subversion!

Nerd & Tie Has Launched A Bluesky!

So recent events have made it clear that we here at Nerd & Tie need to make some decisions about what social media we're using as official feeds for this platform. Historically we have prioritized the platform most of us are still calling Twitter, but honestly? It's not really giving the vibe we're

Sometimes you make a new friend and they share something that really gets your brain going! So this month, Bree welcomes Mara Levy to the virtual studio for a discussion about ogham - its’ history and meaning and use in both ancient and modern magic.

Moopsy!

As Lower Decks is back for the last time, we’re looking at three animated Star Trek episodes, specifically ones about strange creatures.

The Eye of the Beholder brings us weird dopey-looking elephant slug things who are actually more evolved than humans!

A Tribble Called Quest brings us all kinds of mutant tribbles including a bizarre horrible Tribble with a face! Ugh…

I Have No Bones, Yet I Must Scream brings us an adorable monster in Moopsy, who may have done one or two things wrong.
