BONUS - Star Trek Character Commercials, Pt. I (with Barm and Sam Stovold)
June 20, 2021 17:07 - 2 hours - 164 MBJack perverts Sam’s very reasonable idea of watching every commercial they can find of Star Trek actors playing their characters in TV commercials by creating exceptions and watering down the concept until the episode becomes a bloated, overly long mess that needed to be split into two parts to even approach being manageable, yet still manages to be a lot of fun! Barm is along to assist in this process. (Follow along with the gang by checking out the first 21 commercials yourself on Jack’...
