Cordkillers (All Audio)Show Notes
Tom and Brian board the original 1978 Battlestar Galactica for “Saga of a Star World,” where sweeping space battles give way to disco, bug men, and a surprisingly grim survival story. They debate the marathon premiere’s uneven pacing, compare it with the reboot, and inspect everything from Cylon eyes to the unexpected performer inside Muffit.
