A mere 42 years to go until the big day so as always Kneel Before Pod is here with a celebratory discussion. This year we discuss Star Trek: Insurrection to ask the important questions such as does a beardless Jonathan Frakes resemble British presenter Dale Winton? Is this film the inspiration for Carpool Karaoke? and does Riker prefer standard or inverted controls when gaming?
