This week Dana and Dan discuss the fifth film in the franchise, The Final Frontier. The guys talk about how a Vulcan commandeers the ship and takes the crew on a trip to the edge of the galaxy in search of the answer to all of life's questions.

And then there is a discussion on whether they can get some plane crash survivors to appear on the podcast.   Please send your comments, questions, and suggestions to damnitjimpodcast@gmail.com and find us on YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram.   You can also call the Damnit Jim Hotline at 509-676-6298.

They ponder the meaning of time, wonder why Engelbart Humperdinck was so popular when this episode was broadcast, and talk about whale poop. Yep, it's time to get the ramble jar out again...
