In this bonus episode of Out To Get You, we launch our series on the dread of deep space, fears of future past, and more, with a Class 7 probe of Star Trek’s The Gorn. 

Content Warning:

This episode contains discussion of speciesism, space opera, and having beloved stories co-opted by right-wing corporate fascists. 

Drop in for a casual chat on intergalactic blood libel, the diminishing returns of big budget sci-fi, and filing the serial numbers off H.R. Giger’s xenomorphs.

Questions for the next two recording sessions are now open!

We’ll be joined by Jadzia Alexrod, author of the DC Book of Pride, the upcoming Galaxy: As The World Falls Down, and more, for pod persona paranoia in 1978‘s Invasion of the Body Snatchers!

After that, author, comics crit luminary, and co-creator of The Forgotten Five, Sara Century (Best Issue Ever,) swoops in to pick apart Hitchcock’s 1963‘s avian apocalypse, The Birds!
