Show notes
In this episode, Sarah Belmont and Will Polk celebrate Star Trek Day and dive into two big topics: the hauntingly powerful Sinners and Peacemaker Season 2, Episode 3, Another Rick Up My Sleeve. They explore how music shapes storytelling across K-Pop Demon Hunters, Wicked, and Sinners; dissect the layered history and allegory within Sinners; and debate pacing, character arcs, and multiverse storytelling in Peacemaker. Expect passionate critiques, unexpected connections, and a few laughs along the way.
