190. STAR TREK 10: THE WRATH OF KHAN

Season 12, Ep. 10

Between Metropolis and Star Wars lies a 50 year wasteland of terrible movie robots. Today, we look at the beloved Star Trek sequel THE WRATH OF KHAN. It's a film doesn't have a robot but does have a very naughty man who needs a jolly good botty spanking.


WARNING! The S**t-bomb is said but nothing more.
