Phantasms Solo Session

Unedited, slightly incoherent, and mostly redundant, The Beige and The Bold Solo Sessions are episodes where I run through a show all on my own.

Man, "Phantasms" has got it all; lazy pseudoscience, disdain for people who aren't the main cast, and a gaping hole where a big idea should be. It's a yawner that's only slightly redeemed by its strong and bizarre visuals. 

I cover The Original Series' saurian brandy and its contribution to the field of psychology, the fish-eye lens that dates from the same era, and the horrors of being assimilated into The Admiral Collective. What else is there to talk about here?

That "whole hog" thing wasn't a weight-based joke; it's what happens when you gotta keep talking for 45 minutes without anyone else letting you do thinky-times. Same with that Patty Hearst reference; her status as a "volunteer" is not something you wanna hang your rhetorical hat on.

The Beige and The Bold is hosted on Anchor and is available on most podcasting platforms. New episodes are usually posted on Sunday nights at 9:00 PM CST. If you have Netflix and would like to be a guest host for an episode in season seven, let me know on twitter @VanVelding or via Discord: https://ift.tt/3jVYoGL
