I'm Stephen McCaff, and this is the Slate Culture Gap Fest, Progbots Into Darkness edition. It's Wednesday, May 22nd, 2013. On today's program, the joyfully unkillable franchise known, of course, as Star Trek. And then Daft Punk is a duo of French musicians.

They're out with their new album.

We'll discuss random access memories with Jonah Weiner.

And finally, Google Glass.

Will it extend our human powers or finally debauch them for good?

Joining me today is Slate's culture critic, June Thomas.

Hello, Stephen. And joining me as well is, of course, Slate's film critic, Dana Stevens. Hey, Dana.
