It's time to get messy on TrekRanks with a breakdown of the "Top 5 Best Hot Mess," a soirée into the characters and situations in Trek that really can only be described as – a hot mess. From the grandiose to the understated, and from the nefarious to the well-intentioned, hot messes come in all shapes and sizes. Our messy panel of host Jim Moorhouse and guests Adam Hunault and Josh Zeller each target their own personalized choices to cobble together their lists. Recorded live and in person, this episode is a fun one – and a bit of a hot mess on its own.
