STAR(X) PODCAST

Does the SG-1 pilot successfully launch the series? And how well does it expand the world introduced in the original Stargate movie?

What is STAR(X) PODCAST?

Welcome to Star(X) Podcast, the sci-fi rewatch show where we’re always Solving for Sci-Fi.

Hosted by Mike and Jenae, this podcast dives deep into the worlds of science fiction television — breaking down episodes, unpacking character arcs, exploring lore, and revisiting the moments that made us fall in love with the genre in the first place.

We’re starting our journey with Stargate SG-1 — traveling through the gate one episode at a time with thoughtful recaps, behind-the-scenes insights, and plenty of debate. But the “X” in Star(X) is a variable — and once we solve for it, it could lead us anywhere in the sci-fi universe.
