Episode 160: Star Trek Above and Beyond

Welcome back everyone to your regularly scheduled week in geek.  We're back on schedule and this week we tackled another summer release, Star Trek Beyond.  We also discuss this weeks streaming review of Straight Outta Compton, our Podquestion and Nerd News: Black Manta's reveal, Playstation Neo, No Mans Sky review, Warner Brothers open letter and an update on Making a Murder.

Last week's streaming review was Straight Outta Compton.  And holy shit was this a hell of a movie.  Running at over 2 and a half hours this movie was packed with some serious acting and whole shit ton of awesome music.  Watching this movie was a bit of unexpected nostalgia.  Simply because I didn't realize how much I really listened to so much of this music and how much of an impact it all really had.  This movie hits on so many topics so well and many of these are just coming to the surface again.   I gave it a 5/5 and Bat gave it a 4/5 but W\we both loved this movie and would highly recommend anyone watching it if they get the chance.  No, screw that, make the time, watch this movie. 



Next week's streaming review is way more vanilla with us watching The Peanuts Movie.    You can find this one on HBOgo and please feel free to send us your reviews.
