Not available on their YouTube channel, this review marks the debut of 'The Flimflam and Gorky Show.' See their original template for the show, in this Meta Review, which is too big for YouTube, necessitating their external site (which also features most of their videos that are available on YouTube). While the duo has no current plans to return to this original format (turns out it's a lot of work!), you can compare this Meta Review (broken up into four parts) to the shorter review on their channel.

Flimflam and Gorky introduce themselves and tell the people of Earth what they intend their channel to provide: reviews of Sci-Fi and Fantasy films and series' that we all know and love, both classic and modern. These two are very easily distracted, though, and some of their episodes end up being quite different from what they thought they were going to be. Join these two lovable aliens as they give their opinions on some of the greatest (and worst) Earth has to offer.

The boys have installed a new computer into the Crystal Skipper, but while Gorky enjoys her unpredictable nature, Flimflam tries to reprogram her to be more like other computers. We see firsthand her unique attitude, and all of the pop culture references she likes to make, much to the chagrin of Flimflam.

While Flimflam and Gorky enjoy the latest 'Avengers' movie, Gorky learns that the Crystal Skipper doesn't belong to Flimflam, but his father, whom Gorky's never met (despite their long friendship). We see that Rusty, Flimflam's dad, is very old fashioned, and has issues with his son's choice in entertainment. We also see some foreshadowing that a future episode may feature Rusty's review of his favorite film.

We see the two aliens playing with their favorite toys, and comparing how Flimflam's favorite, 'Star Wars,' and Gorky's favorite, 'Masters of the Universe,' are actually very similar. They realize that despite seemingly divergent tastes, their tastes actually line up with each others'.

Flimflam and Gorky review the popular fan series, 'Star Trek Continues.' They marvel at how accurately this series recreates the look and feel of the original show. From its props, sets, and costumes, to its casting, audiences really feel like they're watching newly discovered, unaired episodes from the original series. Our boys talk about all the very special guests the show had. They conclude that the only bad thing about this show is that there's not enough episodes.

Flimflam and Gorky have taken a babysitting job, and have to take care of little Grogru, while they do an episode by episode breakdown and recap of the first season of 'The Mandalorian.' They go over each episode's plot, characters, guests, Easter eggs, and more. At the end, a certain, helmeted individual shows up to retrieve the little green guy.

Flimflam and Gorky review the 'Star Wars Holiday Special,' but instead of panning it and talking about all of the cringe-worthy moments and lame attempts at humor most reviewers focus on, our boys give us a refreshing take that highlights the many things that were good about this under-appreciated special. They also get some help from some very special guests, and probably the only droid comic duo, C-3P0 and R2-D2.
