Topics include how any and all Sex and the City chat is entirely on-topic for this show, pulling a Samantha (i.e. not doing the Treks follow-up), getting ready for Valentine's Day, kicking themselves for underselling "The Goo Crew" on their last episode, the charm of bubbles, Alice's hatred for musicals, everybody's favorite David Fincher movie, playing Klingon dress-up to sneak into The Klingies, and much, much more!

Topics include everyone's holidays, cat-safe fake flowers, Paul's very locked-in plans to serve as Alice's wedding officiant, Skyler seeing (and not bothering) Paul while they were both out on the town, in-law stolen valor, what does and doesn't qualify as news over at Variety, the early comedic stylings of Liam Neeson, and much, much more!

This week, Alice and Skyler are wrapping up their month of holiday-centric Side Trekked specials (sorry to the fans of them/you're welcome to the haters of them)!! To ring in 2026, they could think of no better way than to discuss Garry Marshall's extremely on-theme 2011 film New Year's Eve. Topics include the sheer tonnage of famous people in it, ruining "Auld Lang Syne," wrapping their minds around the audacity of making Michelle Pfeiffer play a dowdy sad sack, where "Jensen" ranks in the pantheon of pop star mononyms, confusing Josh Duhamel for Timothy Olyphant, and much, much more!
