158. The Vendorians Work For the Bourgeoisie [LD 4.08]

Anika and Liz beam down to a cave, get trapped, and record the shortest regular episode of Antimatter Pod yet! But that doesn't mean we didn't enjoy Lower Decks season 4 episode 8, "Caves", or that we're not going to discuss important issues such as...

• It is not, in fact, time for Lower Decks to break up the band
• (But it is time for them to see other officers, and that's okay!)
• Are Vendorians real? Anika has doubts
• Liz has THREE VERY SPECIFIC BONE SQUICKS and so far this season Lower Decks has hit two of them
• This is an episode about fear of the unknown, and also Star Trek's consistent skepticism of conspiracy theories
