Star Wars vs Star Trek: The Ultimate Geek Showdown | Galaxy Quest, Acolyte & Sci-Fi Fails

It’s the question that has divided geeks for decades: Star Wars or Star Trek? We’re putting both on trial, debating lightsabers vs phasers, Kirk vs Luke, Jedi vs Klingons, and whether Galaxy Quest secretly beats them both. No gatekeeping, just laughs, hot takes, and a few blaster noises.

In this episode of Original Geek, hosts Steve Scarfo and Jeff Shaw launch a warp-speed deep dive into the evolution of geek culture—from shag carpet Star Wars screenings to the cerebral calm of the Federation.

Welcome to Original Geek—the podcast for anyone who rolled their first d20 on shag carpet, waited hours for a comic book JPEG to load on dial-up, and wore the label “geek” back when it got you mocked, not monetized.

Hosted by stand-up comic Steve Scarfo and Forever DM Jeff Shaw, we dive deep into what it meant to be a geek in the '70s and '80s—and how that underground culture became the mainstream multiverse we live in today.

🎙️ Subscribe for weekly episodes on Dungeons & Dragons, Star Wars, comic book chaos, geek court debates, and critical hits from your childhood basement.
