10 stars out of 5!

I discovered Captains pod partway through watching Discovery season five. While eagerly awaiting each Discovery episode, I went back to the very beginning and have been binging these ever since to the neglect of all my other podcasts. I think I will cry when I get caught up. Looking forward to continuing weekly podcast. I love you guys. I grew up watching TOS in syndication with Mom and every single Star Trek episode since TNG first aired. I met my husband because of Star Trek and we continued the Star Trek journey together from then. Becca in Ohio

Companion enhancing appreciation of the shows

I love and would watch Trek anyway, but listening to Deneé and Ian talk about episodes consistently improves my enjoyment of them. I got more out of even the more painful and cringe episodes of Picard, and their enthusiasm made the best episodes of Strange New Worlds even better. Whether you’re a fan of Trek or a relative newcomer this podcast will give the watching more flavour and context. Highly recommended !

If you love Star Trek…and CinemaSins…you should be listening

I can’t believe I haven’t written a review earlier…but better late than never! Ian and Deneé are a treat. Ian is a huge Star Trek nerd, but Deneé has limited Trek exposure, so the dynamic is great. It’s fun to get a fresh perspective on what we as long-time fans take for granted. Deneé’s reactions are often priceless. Despite the fact that it IS a CinemaSins podcast, the sinning is generally light and done with a love for the material. And it’s good to be reminded that no TV show is without sins…not even our beloved Star Trek. TLDR? This is a great friggin’ Star Trek podcast. If you’re not listening, you’re missing out!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love this podcast, Ambassador Denee is the crown jewel of the Sins podcasting family, really looking forward to her reactions to Star Trek 2-4. Cpt. Ian is.. adequate I guess. JK, Ian is great also, lot of Star Trek knowledge and really enjoy his passion for Trek.

Perfect for revisiting S1 before S2 comes out.

I’d give them seven out of nine stars if it went up that high.

A podcast with honor!

I could listen to Ian and Deneé talk Star Trek for hours! (Which is good, cuz they do!) I’m having fun listening to them talk Picard and for the first time get to hear some Sins from the show. Since those cowards on the A-team refuse to sin any trek show! ;) ;) ;) Can’t wait to hear what Deneé thinks of the show once it’s over and very excited to see them tackle more Star Trek series! Truly this is a podcast with honor!
