BUTT-KICKIN' FRIDAY

Nothin' like a little pulse poundin', teeth rattlin' wake up call to start your weekend.

This week: Revamping Star Trek, blurring the line between movies and gaming, Hollywood's ridiculous interpretation of the CIA, lamest Star Trek villains, least convincing scientists, most disturbing Christmas specials, and much more. Enjoy!
