As the team gets ready for WonderCon Anaheim next week, and Emily Mata rests her voice after catching a bit of con crud, Henry & Shanclen give a small tease of what the Star Trek 60 special episode will sound like as they play back a segment from the show's fourth season featuring a Star Trek vs Star Wars discussion with Team Wars consisting of Dr. Andrea Letamendi & then-co-host Rachel Rossilli. Team Trek was Henry and Rod Roddenbery . You'll hear the first few topics, whch led to the perfect description from Drea Letamendi to describe both franchises. After that, Shanclen updates us on how he's doing with his Star Trek challenge for this year. The episode wraps up with the guys bringing up a topic that was brought up during Shanclen's live stream last Monday and is also making the rounds online: Were this year's Best Film nominees and winner really the best films of the year?
