Kirk vs. Solo, Interstellar Incest, and What the Hell is Corbomite?

It starts like any respectable Nice Pull episode should: an opening monologue that roasts your childhood, your attention span, and Hollywood’s obsession with rebooting everything you loved until it’s unrecognizable and somehow… more expensive.

Then Chris drops the inciting incident: his daughter watches Star Wars for the first time—but not the way nature intended. She goes chronological, which means the “big reveal” arrives pre-spoiled like milk left in a 1970s station wagon.

Soon the boys are debating vibes (utopian sci-fi vs. mythic fantasy), characters, cultural timing, and what “better” even means when one franchise is about humanity’s potential and the other is about space wizards with family trauma.

And just when you think it’s going to end like a clean little tie? The episode casually drops a theater-related horror story that will make you grateful you live in the age of streaming… and deeply afraid of projectors.
