The Sistas recorded this episode with the amazing Linda Park right after the 2024 U.S. elections. It’s a continuation of a deeper, more emotional sister talk we had before the show. We dive into our love for Hoshi Sato, what it was like growing up as an immigrant, and our unforgettable experiences on the Star Trek Cruise. Huge thanks to Linda for sharing her heart with us. We hope this conversation resonates with you as much as it did with us.

SINNERS; It Just Hits Different
🚨SPOILERS🚨
We are ALL Sinners
The SyFy Sistas are joined by the full crew from our SyFy Sistas Inc. YouTube channel, with special guests Tanya Scott-Thomas (Two Moons and a Microphone) and Derek Tyler Attico (Soul of the Story), for a celebration and deep-dive into Sinners, the genre-bending horror film from Ryan Coogler.
Set against the backdrop of Jim Crow Mississippi (1932), Sinners doesn’t just scare—it sings, it haunts, and it heals. Through blues, blood, and Black spirituality, this film reclaims horror to show the humanity of Black people with nuance, reverence, and power.
🔴 We honor the pain.
🔴 We celebrate the beauty.
🔴 We see the sacred in the terrifying.
This isn’t just a review—it’s a spiritual reckoning, a cinematic celebration, and a conversation you won’t forget.

Episode 5.08
Robert Duncan McNeill
Robert Duncan McNeill
Soap Operas, Starships, and the Paris/Locarno Thing
Episode: 5.08
The Sistas got to sit down with the one and only Robert Duncan McNeill.
Before he was flying through the Delta Quadrant as Lieutenant Tom Paris, Robbie was stirring up drama on the classic soap All My Children. We talk about his early days on daytime TV, how he found his true calling behind the camera, and his journey from actor to one of the most respected directors in the biz.
And yes, we had to ask about Tom Paris vs. Nick Locarno—and his answer? Let’s just say it gave us life!
We also geek out over his podcast The Delta Flyers with Garrett Wang, and how rewatching Voyager has given him a whole new appreciation for the show and the fans.
Grab your snacks and press play, fam.
